i dont think piercing a baby’s ears is traumatic and i wouldnt call it abuse but i do think we need to examine why we as a society think its okay to modify’s babies bodies without their consent so theyll fit our own aesthetic/gender ideals (whether or not it hurts them)
@clingyuhao i mean i understand all that i just don’t really agree w it. i think it’s wrong to permanently alter/damage a baby’s body purely for cosmetics.
@31frankel genuinely insane the way non-southerners talk about the south. it makes me so mad. they only see the worst of it & think that’s all it is.
if you’ve ever seen something bad happen in alabama or mississippi or tennessee or georgia or any other southern or appalachain state and thought to yourself “that’s what they get” you don’t get to mourn dolly parton. i hope this helps.
@ssassenn@nirvancia yeah kids in my neighborhood were always doing this kind of shit & they still do. so extremely regular idk where these ppl live that this is abnormal
@obviouslystevie man idk we just do it. some of our parents are cool w it. some of us live near neighbors who don’t care. some of us live in dorms where the RA is super chill. a tiny space can sometimes be even more fun! we just make it work
“you don’t have to go outside! you can host a party at your place!”
at our parents’ house, or at the tiny apartment that we reluctantly share with roommates we’re barely cordial with?
@bookbeduion if you are interested in the political aspects, look into space opera & military sci fi. both typically have a lot of political intrigue.
