For the roleplay committee on Tumblr
---
Enough with the pathetic targeting of roleplayers on Tumblr! It's downright despicable, especially given that the majority of these creative individuals are minors. Get a grip on reality and find something better to do with your time than spewing disrespect.
LISTEN UP, if I catch wind of any more of these toxic comments, I'll make it my mission to unearth your sorry identity and ensure your account is obliterated. Consider this a warning – back off and let people enjoy their space without your mindless aggression. The consequences will be swift and severe.
To those who have been hurt by the senseless targeting on Tumblr, I offer my sincere apologies. Remember, it's not a crime to pursue your passions, including roleplaying. Don't let the negativity of others dictate what brings you joy. Do what you love, stay true to yourself, and embrace your interests without reservation. Your well-being matters, and there are supportive communities out there who appreciate and respect your creative endeavors. Keep shining and doing what makes you happy. 💙
IF YOU SEE ONE OF THESE ASSHOLES TAUNTIN' OTHER ROLEPLAYERS, TELL THEM TO FUCK OFF!
--
SPREAD THE WORD!

The number of children and young teens who put social media handles on public response boards at the museums where I work is genuinely disturbing. Please, please don’t do this if you are a minor, and teach kids in your care about internet safety. We erase them and/or take them down as best we can, but we can’t catch everything, and you don’t know who might see it before a staff member gets to it

Children under 18 deserve access to free food, everywhere.
When you were small do you remember ever getting stuck in the middle of a super center or shopping district with no money and an empty stomach, or were you rich? Do you know how absolutely wonderful it feels to know that the bakery will give you a day old cinnamon roll for just $1? Or a free cookie? Or a free sample bread? Food that you have some control over when you’re too young to make money in a capital world. I’m proposing to you that we start normalizing free food for all minors, starting with our homes and small businesses and moving up to government funded systems. Let us set aside food in our stores and gardens that will always be meant for kids. If you’re a manager of a chain store like subway give kids who come in alone the option to have small free salad or a cookie. Something so cheap to the owner that giving it away for free barely registers, but is big enough it makes a difference for a kid. If you own a small food business, have some food freely accessible to children, maybe that’s just quesadillas or a few doughnut bites, but it makes a difference.

I can't art for shit, and will not "ask" an a.i. to do it, but there really needs to be a picture of a drag-queen beating the fuck out of a priest while another queen comforts a crying child.
Captioned the only thing that can stop a bad guy in a dress is a good guy in a dress.

Things you shouldn't teach bullied kids...religion edition
Apologies to Christian friends, but this has to be said:
"Turn the other cheek" is a rancidly bad piece of advice to give young kids who are being bullied or abused. It's right down there in the toilet of bad ideas next to "just ignore them". Especially since kids take such advice literally and will end up defenseless, confused and even more damaged as a result.
Remaining passive in the face of bullying guarantees that the bully will continue, will escalate, and will probably invite others to join the fun. And they will. Because here's a target who doesn't fight back--who thinks GOD HIMSELF doesn't want her to fight back--and bullies never, ever stop once they find a good target.
At least, until they face real consequences. The consequences could be being roasted, humiliating pranks, getting in trouble (if you can find an adult willing to step in), or just straight up getting a punch in the teeth, but whatever they are, they need to happen. Otherwise, the bully will just keep taking pleasure in an innocent kid's suffering.
[Below is a screed about the consequences of expecting kids to act like holy martyrs instead of protecting themselves, and some advice for young folks trying to reconcile religious pacifism with the need to protect themselves. It's not an easy read and wasn't an easy write, but I'm hoping it will help someone.]
Meanwhile, the bullied kid, who just wants to do the right thing and please God, ends up traumatized, beaten down and wondering why God wants her to be so miserable. If she cries, prays, quotes the Bible, or explains her principles while being bullied, she will be bullied even harder. (Do you really believe that those little playground sociopaths care what God thinks?) And by the time they're done with her, she'll be going through religious trauma to go with the emotional and physical stuff, because the advice to endure and pray just made things worse.
After all, God's not going to step in and help or even comfort her. God is not going to grant her unshakeable confidence and strength to shrug off her suffering. God is not going to warn the bully or make them feel bad. God is not going to prick the consciences of lazy, uninvolved teachers, parents, and administrators to make them get off their asses and help.
God is not going to help. That's what other humans are supposed to do. But in a typical bullying situation, anyone with the power to help has already decided not to. Adults will even hobble her further with the warning that they will punish her for fighting back. She will be left on her own, told she's not supposed to defend herself, with no idea what to do or how to make the abuse stop.
That is exactly what "turn the other cheek" sets bullied and abused kids up for. Wrongheaded religious pacifists may even try to say that the child's suffering is somehow normal or even beneficial. Which is, and I really mean this, an incredibly shitty thing to do to a child.
Now I know some zealots think that suffering is Godly for everyone regardless of age, and we should all be prepared to make sacrifices to keep our covenants, et cetera. But the reality is that encouraging children to passively accept bullying and abuse, or respond to it with piety and kindness, is going to destroy their childhoods. And that is way too much of a sacrifice to expect from someone who is young, vulnerable and likely to be scarred for life by the experience.
Kids are not meant to be martyrs. They are not supposed to spend their childhoods going through constant, agonizing, permanently damaging tests of faith. They are too little to even begin to cope with that, and any adult who thinks that kind of ordeal is good for them or just what they should expect as a good Christian shouldn't be allowed around kids.
Discouraging kids from standing up for themselves aids and abets their bullies and pretty much guarantees you'll end up with an anxious, depressed child with low self-esteem and stunted social skills. If they're also very Christian, the experience won't just damage their minds, hearts, self-image, and trust in others. It will also damage their faith.
Do you really think that's right and good? Do you really think that's what God wants?
Don't ever, ever tell bullied kids to turn the other cheek. Get off your ass, put your love into action, and give them real help with the situation. Get involved, help them learn to stand up for themselves, and while you're at it, have a little chat with the "responsible" adults who just stand by with their thumbs up their butts and let this all go on.
If you hide behind "turn the other cheek" instead of actually helping a vulnerable child, in the end, you won't get a wise and resilient kid who is strong in her faith, forgives everyone who hurt or failed her, and believes that her suffering was somehow worth it.
You will get a traumatized kid who very likely has both her faith and her self-esteem in tatters. And all because you gave her a Bible quote and left her to fend for herself instead of actually helping.
Is putting a child through this what you want? No? Then...
...stop failing kids by using a misguided application of a Bible quote to convince them that God doesn't want them to defend themselves!
Whether they are facing childhood bullies, an abusive parent, a lascivious priest, a would-be child trafficker, or a violent "friend", kids need to know that it is okay to stand up for themselves, protect themselves, and defend their own boundaries. Telling them to "turn the other cheek" instead is child abuse, because it sets them up for years of completely unnecessary suffering.
Yeah, I know Jesus said it. But would Jesus say it to a little kid who is suffering with no help? Would Jesus tell that child that it's not okay to protect herself? Do you really believe that? Because I can't. I seriously doubt Jesus was out to recruit ten-year-old schoolyard martyrs.
No real, loving God could possibly want that done to a kid. And no loving, Godly person would give advice that makes things easier for people who victimize kids, by discouraging kids from resisting.
And if making kids more vulnerable to abuse is their actual plan...it ain't God they're working for.
***
Oh, and if you're young and can relate to this story:
Don't turn the other cheek when someone is victimizing you. Please. It will very likely make things worse.
Stand up for yourself. Do what you have to to keep yourself safe. Be clever, be tough, be sneaky, and be your own best friend, because you do not deserve to suffer.
You absolutely deserve to be happy and safe--yes, even if you're not a perfect person. And even if you have no friends, and none of the adults around care, and you have preachy idiots in your ear telling you to just endure it, you must remember that you deserve defending. Even if you have to do it yourself.
Don't just leave your protection in God's hands. Any adult who tells you to do this when people are hurting you is either deluding themself, or just making a stupid excuse not to give you real help.
Stand up for yourself, whether you're telling that creep on Facebook's mother about what he just sent you, laying a chili-pepper trap for that pig who always steals your lunch, or making your bully cry. Save "turn the other cheek" for conflicts with those who have a working moral compass, not abusers. You can forgive your bully and feel remorse for being a little mean after you have made sure that he never tries to pull his crap again.
It's far better to just be imperfect, and sort things out with God later, than to try to be perfect in horrible circumstances and end up broken, traumatized and struggling with your faith. Especially when you're just a kid.
Oh, and do yourself a favor. If someone is preaching extreme religious pacifism at you after hearing of your situation, they may mean well. But if all they do is preach and lay expectations on you and not help, you may well have to disappoint them. Unless they're actually stepping in to help you resolve the situation without having to retaliate and it works, your priority should be stopping the abuse as safely as possible by whatever means are at your disposal. Not satisfying a sanctimonious, uninvolved person's idea of what God wants.

I’ll never understand society’s obsession and appalling glee of hitting kids. First off, if the child is in distress or experiencing extreme emotion, how does hitting them solve anything? Oh it makes them quiet? It teaches them better? It commands respect and obedience? If you don’t then they turn out “spoiled”? “Just wait till you have kids”?
Poor Excuses.
Hitting kids does more for you than them and you know that! You’re taking your exhaustion & frustration out on a small developing human you lack the mental fortitude or patience to handle to gain instant peace. In any other circumstance, like with a pet, spouse or loved one, this would count as assault and abuse but in terms of children, y’all get defensive & in your egos, spewing denial that it’s not abuse and you’re actually a “good parent” because you manage to raise a child without killing it.
Any respect or obedience a child displays as a result of pain is completely manufactured. That respect was forced, not earned. They fear and mistrust you, not respect you. They know you’re volatile and prone to hostility so that “well behaved” kid is just cleverly avoiding pain & hostility. Only thing you’re teaching them is to suppress their emotions or lie effectively & keep a lot from you as they grow. “But I explain before hitting them and then show love afterwards, so it’s fine.” Pumpkin that’s called trauma bonding which physical abusers do regularly in relationships. See the slippery slope here?
A child is a small human which, like many humans you wouldn’t hit because that’s considered assault, you can talk to them. You can teach children right from wrong and the consequences of their actions without inflicting physical/mental/emotional pain. “But you can’t/ It’s impossible” Shut up! YOU ACTUALLY CAN, & it requires patience & communication you should have with this growing human who legitimately does not know any better and looks to you for that! And if you can’t be bothered with the bare minimum of parenting then why’d you have kids? No Seriously.

IMPORTANT!
If you ever see someone post something (especially if it’s a selfie) and tag it “#AAM”, PLEASE REPORT IT!
AAM stands for “Adult Attracted Minor” and IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS FOR MINORS TO BE POSTING IN THIS TAG. IT IS A COMMUNITY OF MINORS WHO PUBLICLY POST THEMSELVES WANTING RELATIONSHIPS WITH ADULTS. THIS CAN EASILY LEAD TO MINORS BEING GROOMED AMONG OTHER THINGS.
PLEASE REPORT ANYTHING YOU SEE TAGGED “#AAM”.

⚠️Don't post children on social media⚠️
Just came across one video on tiktok...the person posts video of her daughter trying some different foods for the first time. And comments there are disturbing. But what is more disturbing than that is the number of people who saved that video.
I remember one research that said that pedophiles who don't have access to childp*rn usually use videos of minors that their parents posted online.
There are lots of accounts on almost every social media that were created by parents to post videos of their kids. (Especially those parents who are trying to get some money from it, aka influencers 💩)
Protect children!!!! Post posting their pictures and videos online. This world is a cruel place for young once

Sorry this is long but, I need a break
I’m gonna take a short absence from tumblr, there is so much shit going on right now, and I’m too tired of some people on this website being transphobic on posts about what happened to Nex Benedict.
It’s so disgusting that people would do this. Where’s the compassion? A child died because a school is too stupid to protect its kids. A child died because they were harassed by fellow classmates for just being who they were. And people are just turning their heads? Ignoring the fact a CHILD was MURDERED. I don’t know when I’m gonna be back, but I need time to calm down.
I’m just so heart broken that this is happening. But whoever sees this post, please look them up, please spread the word about this!
We need to change things. We need to stop this hate!
We cannot let this go unnoticed.
Tumblr media
see you all later.
I’m sorry about the heavy topic
