(Image ID: A tumblr post that reads I need minors to learn how to lie online again. Your name is Derek, you’re 25 and work in accounting now. Please for your own safety learn how to fucking lie. And if you don’t want to lie, then don’t put your age anywhere. Don’t even say whether you’re a minor or not. It is perfectly easy to avoid adult spaces without signposting that you are doing so because you’re a child. Stating your age doesn't protect you this only makes you a target.". End ID)
NO. NO. NO.
Can we not encourage minors to lie about their age??? And can we ESPECIALLY not encourage them to lie about being an adult???
Predators do not fucking care if you lie about your age. Predators do not care if you tell the truth about their age. ENCOURAGING MINORS TO LIE ABOUT THEIR AGE ISN'T GOING TO PROTECT THEM.
Hell, I'd argue that lying about your age is only going to cause *more* problems for folks.
Also, saying that sharing your age makes you a target is straight up victim blaming (and fear mongering to an extent too!)
Sharing your age, regardless of if you're a minor or adult, is not going to hurt you by itself. If you're uncomfortable with sharing your age, saying "minor/adult" is fine. Saying that you're above/below a certain age is fine (ex. saying you're above 18).
And if someone is bothering you, breaking your boundaries or if you're an adult and don't want minors interacting (and vice versa), the block button exists for a reason. USE IT.
Seriously it's up to you if you want to share your age publicly or not. At the end of the day the internet is still a very dangerous place, regardless if you share your age or not.

I looked at the songs for the new Mean Girls musical movie and.. why did they leave out all the songs that show Cady's feelings or emotional development?? Like... It Roars? More is better? Do this thing?? These are some of my favorite songs!!
Also I saw that they made a new song that probably replaced It Roars but I listened to it and.. it's really not the same (in a negative way)
I also heard the new version of Stupid With Love and I am so sorry, I'm totally fine if they decide to make changes to the songs but this is just. No. Because this version of the song is so not Cady. She is this little weirdo who for the first time falls in love and has such big emotions and doesn't really know how to handle them but also this crush makes her really happy and the new version just smashes that into tiny pieces and glues them back together with a weird rythm and music that is supposed to be slow and romangic but just really doesn't fit with the lyrics at all. Like I'm sorry but you can't say calcu-lust like that. You just can't
Both of these songs on the new album lack the absolute extatic excitedness Cady has for a lot of the musical which are a big part of what makes her a really lovable character in my opinion and they're also just all around very fun songs!! So to take that away and Also take away two other songs that show her inner world just makes me kinda sad :(

did you watch the Shattered/Asylum Talkville episodes? 👀
Yes I did! I'm really sorry, I've been meaning to send you all my notes/highlights from the Shattered pod ep like I promised I would, but my last semester of grad school started like 2.5 weeks ago and I've just been massively overwhelmed since then. 😭
Tbh, you could probably watch the full Shattered pod if you wanted, it was a pretty good ep for Talkville standards. The biggest highlight was probably Michael saying that the moment where Lex sees Clark use his powers for the first time is his favorite Lex moment in the series (especially in terms of his own performance)—he's clearly really proud of this episode and I think that made the pod better in general. Also Lionel gets called an evil bastard a couple of times, Tom points out how we all feel bad for Lex by the end of the episode, and Al Gough calls the Clex relationship "the focal point of the series." Other stuff happens too ofc, but I'd say those were my top moments.
The Asylum pod was... less good, IMO—like, it wasn't bad I guess, but some stuff def left me feeling kinda frustrated, so I wouldn't really recommend that you watch that one askldfsk (I could probably skim through it again and collect some highlights from it if you want, though)
