yeah, warning, we might delete and remake.
If you’re a mutual we’ll probably re-follow you.
Between the bots and the toxicity we’re not sure keeping this blog is worth it.
It’s under debate in the system.

Hey we’re still not sure if we’re keeping this account or not.
We’re going to be following people from a backup account just in case; you’ll know it’s us.
If we keep this account there I’ll be a new intro post and we are rethinking our community involvement.
Solidarity with children is often neglected or even made a joke of, so I wanna take a second and tell y’all what I wish I could go back in time and tell myself:
You’re right. School is bullshit, homework is bullshit, waking up early is bullshit, going to bed early is bullshit. Some adults are just pointlessly cruel, even those in positions of authority over you. Sometimes adults are wrong, and, in fact, sometimes you are right
You were born with an innate sense of justice and fairness and adults have spent your entire life trying to beat it out of you so you’ll shut up and do what you’re told in an unjust and unfair society. Don’t let them. Many of us have to take effort to relearn the wisdom you have right now, the ability to tell when something is bullshit even if you can’t articulate why yet
You deserve happiness, fulfillment, and liberation just as much as any adult. Those first 18 years are just as important as any other time in your life, and it’s time you’ll never get back. Don’t let anyone take them from you just because you’re too young to fight back
Question everything, and never take “that’s just the way it is” as an answer. Sometimes when things don’t make sense to you it’s because they just don’t make any goddamn sense
Pick your battles, and be strategic. Don’t take this post as permission to go starting fights for no reason. But remember that you have worth, and our society tends to not respect that. And you’re right: that is bullshit
(also, read Anarchy Works)
also also, read The Teenage Liberation Handbook
Haven’t read it myself, but if it interests you then you can read it here for free in case paying for a book online and having it shipped to your house isn’t an option for you

why does “getting better” for autistic people just mean putting up with things we don’t like
my parents complain that my fussy eating is better at family gatherings bc I eat the things i wont at home, its called forcing myself to eat bc I’ll go hungry otherwise.
apparently I’m getting better at being around people all the time bc my flatmate is around me constantly, like no im just having to mask longer and I have meltdowns daily.
I’m getting better and not flinching when my friend hugs me, I’ve just had to get used to it it doesn’t mean I like it
the only thing we’re getting better at is masking
hey uh cold take but if you’ve ever been a part of circulating a public humiliation call-out about a trans woman engaging in consensual private sexual behavior with the excuse that you are protecting the innocent community from a dangerous perverted predator, you really have no grounds to be surprised or upset about anti-drag bills being passed bc they are based on the exact same reactionary disgust
“why can’t those freaks act normal” i have good news for your ma’am the government is actually going to enforce the normalness now i hope you are happy
