somewhere out there right now is a kid with curly hair being raised by people who have wavy hair at best and those people are giving them 2-in-1 shampoo and conditioner and telling them to dry brush it. and that kid is gonna spend all of middle school and high school hating their hair and moping over the flat iron. they're being told right now that if they don't dry-brush their curl pattern into oblivion every morning it means they're unkempt and gross even though they naturally have the kind of ringlets that a thousand bridezillas would commit horrible murders for every june. it's happening right now it's an absolute epidemic and a tragedy every time

not to say things on main but it’s kinda fucked up that the mockery and torment of fat people, especially fat kids, is still considered socially acceptable

8.17 kind of feels like. ok so the trajectory of the season was absolutely heading towards buddie canon, or at least some feelings realization before the end of the season. we all agree after he’s a renter and he’s straight there was no going back from that. and then tim decides to kill bobby because the spider in his ear said so or whatever. and so they blew up the rest of the scripts and then tim was like oh lol forgot about making my barbies kiss. better throw in an episode framing them as spouses and film their argument in a completely different style and lighting from the rest of the show, and also make sure the actors put as much tension in the scene as physically possible before making up in the warmest most romantic lighting we can get. and then we don’t need to address it again. that should do it

a mom lets her 10 year old and 7 year old go to the grocery store unsupervised for the first time ever and a 79 year old in an SUV mows over the 7 year old as he's crossing a 4 lane street and kills him. no charges for the murderer - police said there was "no evidence of wrongdoing" - but the parents (both of them) are getting charged with felony involuntary manslaughter and misdemeanor child neglect.

this country is so fucking inhospitable to children. they cannot leave their fucking houses because of our obsession with driving 3000 pound child flattening machines. every year the SUVs and trucks get taller and taller and you physically cannot see children trying to cross the street and people just don't fucking care enough to do anything about it. we built our entire society to prioritize child flattening machines over actual children even though lower profile cars are perfectly servicable for the vast majority of use cases. our government would rather legislate and litigate children into de facto imprisonment than threaten auto industry profits.

i can't fucking bear this anymore. this shit is a public health emergency and NOBODY fucking gives a shit in any way that matters because it primarily affects children. because to examine/fix it effectively we would need to treat children as people in their own right instead of as the property of their parents. end car culture NOW. prison abolition NOW. youth liberation NOW.

I unironically love both abortion and divorce. Every mother willing, every child wanted.

another fake fanon buck trait that i hate is that he always secretly thinks he's bothering people and is insecure about being annoying

this is so so so counter to his actual character and so so SO obviously people projecting their own insecurities onto him. Buck does not give a shit about annoying his friends because he either a) isn't self-aware enough to realize he's being annoying (as with ravi in 8x11) or b) doesn't care because he knows his friends love him even when he's being a little shit (every incident of clipboard buck)

they literally had an entire part of buck's coma dream be about how him annoying people is his love language like............he literally annoyed bobby into not being suicidal. buck LOVES annoying people
