you don’t know who you are but a hot man covered in blood walks in and says he’s your husband… i say okay whatever you say handsome

What is it with men and acting like women just don't know anything

A woman could be like 'Im cold' and a man will be like wow I didn't think you would know about temperatures

It really is That Time of Year again

im training to become stupid

During the last months of being on radblr i’ve noticed a couple of accounts managed by teen girls; and i do appreciate women and girls of all ages entering feminism. However, there are safety measures to know and the first one is not writing that you’re a kid on the internet.

I’m in my early 20s and i can’t believe i’m saying this, but back in my day kids were taught to lie about our personal information. I know you probably think: “I’m writing i’m a minor, so adults that come across my blog will know and act accordingly as any adult should”. And i agree that’s how it should be. However, that’s a huge “I’M HERE!” to pedophiles.

Predators can fool people in real life, they are more than capable of doing it online too. They often make accounts in which they act like kids. They learn how to use the mini culture that teens create online to their advantage. They know that your blog is not controlled by a parent or any other guardian.

Some other shit i’ve seen them do is stuff like:

-Hi i’m XYZ, i work for this [organisation you follow/shown interest in] and i’d like to [ask for help]/[offer to participate in whatever]

Do NOT trust these things. Actual official workers do not reach out to you, especially if you got your teen age written on your bio. If you as a teen feminist are interested in going to public meetings or gatherings, only look for official resources (not individuals) and always go with a parent or a guardian.

The internet may not be real life, but that doesn’t make it any less dangerous.

For your safety, you gotta be on the internet with the assumption that everyone here is an adult you don’t know. “But what if grown ass people start engaging with me as if i’m an adult?” If anyone comes to your blog to bother or harass you in any way you have every right to block them immediately, no explanations needed. You can limit who can engage with your posts at any time. You don’t even need “logical” reasons to, don’t overthink it; if your gut is telling you to block someone then do it. Better safe than sorry. You don’t have to interact with anyone you don’t want here.

Unless it’s a friend’s or relative’s account, whom you know in real life, everyone on the internet is a stranger. Please beware of creeps.

it really is crazy how quickly people were willing to just let chatgpt do everything for them. i have never even tried it. brother i don't even know if it's just a website you go to or what. i do not know where chatgpt actually lives, because i can decide my own grocery list.
