Chronically Cynical Millenial

I will always reblog this....it is so important to be able to give them access to help. As a writer I fully support this

Please make sure kids have access to books like these. I didn't until I was in college and it resulted in decades of self-loathing and blaming myself for things that were done to me as a child with no control over my situation. I was the adult to the adults in my life and if I could have expressed any of what was happening to a teacher or a friend's parent, some things may not have happened.

Reblogging this now as a survivor who just discovered DID that occurred sometime around 1998-1999...

I can't even press charges for my assault because the statute of limitations on this is disgusting. Seven years after my 16th birthday. I had to report this by the time I was 23. I remembered today. I am 31, 14 years past that statute. I spent and am still spending off and on hours having to watch the moment of the split, but bittersweetly as a movie, because I can't save him there.

My abuser may have permanently disabled me at four years old and I only learned today, at 31. I'm about to make my body evidence.

Proceed With Caution‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

TW: DID, CSA (toddler), body deformation, severe bodily damage. I'm serious no one wants to read this please be careful.

you are meant to change viscerally. before a seed can transform it must destroy itself. your shell will break apart & your guts will spill. you can't make the wine without crushing the grapes. don't die wondering

what is this from

the titanic

I FUCKING FORGOT I QUEUED THIS

For all who celebrate man’s hubris!

A hero without a cape

Her name is Theresa Kachindamoto, and she is a senior chief - political leader of a region with a population of about 900,000 people.

She didn’t run for election; she was appointed, without her knowledge, while she was living and working in a completely different part of the country. She just received a call one day telling her to come back to her childhood home, because she was in charge now.

So she did; and when she arrived, she discovered widespread sexual abuse of children. She browbeat 50 uncooperative local leaders into accepting her decision to annul all the marriages. She then fired four of them when they continued to allow children to be married off in their areas. She still faces widespread opposition from parents who consider it their right to sexually abuse their daughters if they want to; but Kachindamoto very evidently does not give a fuck, and is continuing to use political and legal means to protect children in the region.

She’s not just an anonymous do-gooder; she’s an effective political leader despite incredibly difficult circumstances. Theresa Kachindamoto.

Below the text is a picture of Theresa Kachindamoto. She is a dark skinned woman with short hair. She is outside and smiling. End ID]

got worried checking the dates on this post and seeing 2016, knowing how risky this kind of political activism is

good news: Kachindamoto is still in office, and last year (2024) she received honorary doctorates from 2 universities and was given the African Genius Award 🙏

there is no set time or age bracket where you “should” have sex. have sex because you want to. not because all your friends are doing it, not because you’re getting older, not because you just turned __ years old, not because others are putting pressure on you, etc. it’s perfectly okay to not be ready or not want sex at all, even. having sex is a personal decision, your reasons are valid regardless.

sonic heritage post

one of the guys in the kitchen at work got called irritating and replied “I am not irritating. You just find me irritating. There are many people who love me.” I think we should all adopt his attitude

Oh joyous day! Happy 19th anniversary of neil banging out the tunes and happy 16th anniversary of homestuck

Sonic Facts goes missing

y'all know that whole left-brained/right-brained thing is fake right? and the "brain fully develops at age 25" thing? and the "we only use 10% of our brains" thing? yeah they're all complete horseshit please yell at anyone who says them

okay people are doing nuance in the notes about the kernels of truth in neuroscience myths but I really really need you to understand that that is not important here. people don't believe there are "right-brained" and "left-brained" people because they've misunderstood lateralisation of the central nervous system, they believe it because that binary framework was deliberately pushed by people who wanted to define who was logical enough to lead, and surprise surprise, white adult heterosexual men are left-brained. people don't believe the brain "finishes developing at 25" because they've misunderstood life stage differences in neuroplasticity, they believe it because the idea that children, teens, and young adults have inferior brains is a convenient rationalisation for a society that marginalises them. people don't believe you "only use 10% of your brain" because they misread an fMRI study, they believe it because it's useful bullshit for everyone from hyperindividualist historical revisionists pushing the great genius concept of scientific progress to hucksters recruiting for cults that will teach you to unlock your latent telekinesis for just $5000 a month. that's why it's fucking important to know that many popular science ideas are false and to push back on them loudly and frequently, because they're not just mildly incorrect, they are often active components of systems of violence.

well I learned a thing today

i am collecting data...

how do we feel about dog girls who are also boys

not even a real specific gender just, yeah that's a boy, she's a cute one too...he also makes a good girl,,,

i like fat queer furries

Yeah, for thoses who don't know, Aurora Perrineau who play Eurydice in Kaos, is the daughter of Harold Perrineau, who play Mercutio in THAT Romeo+Juliet adaptation (you know the one)

can you fuckin imagine you get hired for a creative job and they say 'you're gorgeous and we want you to look as beautiful and free as this haunting vision we once adored when we were young' and you look at the kiss-stained inspo board and there's your slutty dad

Scientist bakes sourdough bread with yeast derived from 4500 year old Egyptian pottery

i'm losing my mind @ this thread......historie......

also please note that this scientist is in fact the retired man who invented the xbox.

oh fuck i listened to a podcast that was interviewing him and the process he went through to make this bread, ologies with allie ward like he went through full on clean room levels of prep to ensure that this was 100% yeast from old egypt and had to bend over backwards to ensure everything involved was uncontaminated he then revealed that the original xbox logo...

is a sourdough boule
