Folks, Lord of the Flies was never meant to be a universal story. It is specifically about the brutality that underpins supposedly "civilized" and "superior" English public school boys.
Which means a comparison to Burning Man and its attendees might be pretty apt, actually.
One scene I haven't seen discussed much is Ingtar/Perrin in episode 1. Perrin discussing his fear of rage.... And then: "Perhaps Fain had a reason. For doing what he did. You may not like the answer, but you may find it worth asking the question." Brilliant. #WoTShowSpoilers
Parents do not own their children. Kids are people, not things.
They have a right to privacy about their sexuality and gender identity—to choose when and to whom they share those intimate details about their life.
i know i say it a lot, but being able to question yourself and where things come from will change your life. who taught you that? what’s the worst that could happen? are you being hard on yourself? WHO TAUGHT YOU THAT? like, free game lol
Forcing a teacher to out a trans kid to their parents — even if the kid isn’t ready & even if it puts them at risk of harm — is dangerous & frankly, despicable.
Each of us decides when we come out. It’s no one else’s damn business.
Thx @AGRobBonta for having these kids’ backs.
29 percent of LGBTQ youth and 43 percent of trans youth experience abuse at the hands of family members. If they don’t want their family to find out the name their friends call them, there’s probably a reason.
Genuine question for girls: was kids/a family a genuinely big goal for you in your youth? Like did you fantasize about your dream wedding or make up children’s names? I personally didn’t do that nor did my irl friends do It. I was wondering at what age It becomes a dream/goal
Absolutely not. My sister always wanted a family, I wanted to be the cool, single aunt.
When my now husband and I got serious I started thinking a family would be nice, and then immediately got pregnant with twins.

my toxic trait is firmly believing there is truth in a lot of folklore and mysticism. like truly, fairies exist. mermaids exist. these things exist. ain’t no way someone randomly thought these things up and it just ~stuck~ somebody SAW something.
Roger Ebert called Practical Magic “too scary for children and too childish for adults” and accused it of “veering uncertainly from horror to laughs to romance.” Love him, but that’s not understanding brilliant tonal melding when it’s right there in front of u
