SOFA... GET!!!

i'm so fucken happy lol, getting the furniture for this room has been an Adventure

(the plan was to get a sleeper sofa, but.... since those don't come apart any due to the mechanism of the fold out bed... they just couldn't get the thing in the room. and i was absolutely mortified :psyduck: )

all part of the master plan to accept my aesthetic

crochet doilies, white eyelet lace, knickknacks on the mantelpiece, a candy bowl full of werther's originals, slipping a twenty into your jacket pocket, packing you up leftovers to take home, and radical unconditional love and affection

Y'ALL

i think the fact that i went immediately to THIS IS SO GOOD BLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO is probably a sign of Impending Hormonal Doom

but also good grandmas are some of the most important and valid forces of benevolent power in this universe and i aspire to be full of that same energy

trans culture, grandmas for the win + 

@EllieDoe@snouts.online oh god my dollie girl heart........

THIS IS SO GOOD.... 😭

anyway i believe this is the end of old woman grumbling for today. for summary, please see attached meme, more or less

(and is this something i could actually be successfully sued over? decidedly no, as far as i know the lay of the legal landscape. however, parents crowing on social media about how i've corrupted their child are not bound by law, and SSI disability don't exactly pay for a hotshot libel lawyer, ya dig?) (and anyway, idk why i have to even justify much beyond 'i don't like kids listening to me talk about dicks' to be honest) (i feel like that's a dang reasonable boundary eh)

and honestly, one can only go "listen, my dude, if you're saying you need me to respect you and not follow you if you're also a kaomeda kin or like undertale or whatever, i don't understand why there's a problem with you respecting my request of 'don't follow me if you're a minor, because i could get assblasted to oblivion by your angry parents after they see me talk about dicks'. because legal assblasting is a bit more serious than you not liking fingers in his ass sunday, ok?" so many times.

of course, i may just be preemptively bitter on this point, coming from tumblr where despite locking my account down with every single tool available to me, saying 'read this before following', having my profile clearly state no minors etc, i was still having to swat away not only curious 15 year olds

but curious 15 year olds who loudly proclaimed that other 'do not follow if' lists needed to be respected, and insisted on their own 'do not follow if' lists being read and respected

Show thread

i think sometimes minors don't realize that it's not their ass potentially in the fire on that one. and that boundaries are for everyone's health and safety, not just for theirs.

"i can handle it. i'm going to just tell them i'm 18 and follow anyway" is not as mired in power plays as the reverse, but it's still a real shitheel thing to do that i hope the internet as a whole has less and less tolerance for.

Show thread

though i haven't gotten Proper Lewd on this account (yet?), and thus don't feel the need to request only 18+ follow me (yet), i would like to say

i wish we gave a little more weight to "i'm uncomfortable with minors following me, please don't", while we give a lot of weight to minors not being harassed by adults.

the power disparity is, of course, immense, and there's only one direction in which exploitation is seriously attempted. but still....

expecting me to be an adult and do things 15 minutes after getting up is, i'm pretty sure, some variety of misogynistic*

*not really but please, i am a humble cishet trying to emulate the "this inconvenience is homophobia" meme, be patient with me

Ways to improve the world that aren't confrontational

- Teach
- Model what you want to see
- Ask people to explain their motivations a bit
- Dissent, but move on
- Decline to participate
- Hang out with who's been left out
- Share resources

do you ever get angry at yourself over how you let others treat you in the past? i deserve so much better than i used to think i did

@maple i didn't realize this had a name and i'm SO EXCITED TO KNOW IT

@trashyfins@chomp.life rose gold... GOOD. shiny... pink.... PRETTY.

thank u for coming to my ted talk

A take so hot I can barely hold it in my damn hands 

@Bashabez to make this take even hotter:

let's be honest, though

it's not that terribly hard to make a film better than 2001: A Space Odyssey
