I find it so weird that big ol' brands are supporting Israel when there is NOTHING TO SUPPORT

Like in what right mind do you support Israel

Like where is the logic I don't understand how you support genocide and murder over millions of people getting killed for no reason

So fucking stupid 😭

Sum 41 // No Brains

I've worked with kids for a long time. Many of whom play with gender presentation, how they identify (in so many ways: name, gender, sexuality, social groups, aesthetic genre, music, etc), and communicate it to adults they feel safe with. Affirming their self-concept always makes for a happier and healthier child.

It does not mean they will stick with it or that it's their final form. Half the time it's just a challenge to see if you'll be an asshole and freak out about it. I wore sk8r aesthetic and grunge and punk. High femme, low femme, light butch. I'm none of those things but it was a step toward understanding my own boundaries and personality.

Let kids find out who they are without turning it into a minefield. Let them insist on ridiculous names stolen from fanfic and fairy tales. Let them wear hideous things, and take pictures they can cringe at later. Let them be hideous messes of adolescent liquid brain chaos.

Don't pass on your own trauma just because you're afraid of how the world will work without it.

First, the pervasiveness of this litter box thing is ridiculous. I think it has been debunked like a thousand times.

And the *actual* reason schools have cat litter has nothing to do with students identifying as cats.

"Columbine High School has been stocking classrooms with small amounts of cat litter since 2017, but as part of ‘go buckets’ that contain emergency supplies in case students are locked in a classroom during a shooting."

But I actually want to talk about the Tootsie Roll Pop gender thing.

They are trying to criticize a child psychologist, Dr. Diane Ehrensaft, who works at a gender clinic.

I'm sure a lot of their audience who see "gender minotaur" or "gender Tootsie Roll Pops" will completely write off this woman and claim she is a nutcase.

But conservatives and Fox News love to omit context and nuance.

Here is the document all of this stemmed from...

The implied Fox narrative is that Dr. Ehrensaft is creating silly genders and then labeling kids as minotaurs or smoothies.

In reality, she is describing all of the creative ways young kids and teens use to explain how they feel about their gender.

These kids probably don't have a lot of information or the vocabulary to express themselves in more traditional terms, so they've come up with analogies to help adults understand what they are feeling.

That doesn't seem ridiculous at all.

And I actually think these kids are quite clever.

So these conservatives are basically making fun of kids who are confused and seeking help to understand themselves.

Real classy.

And if these kids learn adults are making fun of them, they may feel embarrassed to use these communicative tools—making it that much harder for their therapists and doctors to help them.

[beaft]

googling shit like "why do i feel bad after hanging out with my friends" and all of the answers are either "you need better friends" (i don't; my friends are wonderful) or "your social battery is drained, you need to rest and regain your energy levels" (i don't; i've got tons of energy, it's just manifesting as over-the-top neurotic mania). why is this even happening. it's like some stupid toll i have to pay as a punishment for enjoying myself too much

Hey. Your brain needs to de-frag. Literally it needs you to sit there and space out.

If you want your memory or executive function to improve, stare out a window at the skyline or sidewalk or trees or birds on the electrical wires for like 20+ minutes per day. (With no other stimulation like a podcast or TV if you can manage but hey baby steps innit). If you're fortunate enough to have safe outside with any bits of nature, go stare closely at a 1 meter square of grass and trip out on the bugs and shapes of grasses and stuff.

Literally this will make you smarter. Our brains HAVE TO HAVE this zone out time to do important stuff behind the scenes. This does not happen during sleep, it's something else.

That weird pressurized feeling you get sometimes might be your brain on no defrag.

Give your brain a Daily Dose Of De-Frag.
