Stress having physical effects is so stupid your body’s just like “you’ve been having a real shit time and I’m about to make it worse” I hope you die I hope we both die
another annoying fake hypocrisy dunk ive been seeing a lot is some horrible nationalist propaganda account spouts some great replacement shit, but they’re also british, so the QTs are like “oough, pretty ironic that a colonial power is complaining about being invaded” and my issue is twofold
immigration isn’t actually comparable to the legacy of colonialism, i think. like it isn’t comeuppance for like, genocide? hot take i guess
this isn’t hypocrisy, they think their culture is better and they have more of a right to “invade” than their racist mental conglomeration of africa and the middle east does. it’s internally consistent, please have an opinion for once in your life.
I do love how quietly influential Homestuck has been on a generation of animators because it means sometimes I’m just watching a tv show and I have to pause and ask “hey. is that Dave Fucking Strider in the background?”
if you want to actually materially address child abuse, the single most important thing you can do to start is give children the legally enforceable right to leave any situation they no longer want to be in.
church, extracurriculars, summer camps, school classes, their biological family’s houses. notably, these are the places that child abuse is enabled by the child’s inability to just fucking leave if they need to. they can’t walk out of church if their youth pastor touches them inappropriately; they’ll get punished for leaving. if they walk out of their house because their dad hits them, the cops pick them up and give them right back to their dad.
children need the legal autonomy to leave abusive situations in order to even begin to usefully materially address child abuse.

& that should include foster care, psychiatric care, facilities for homeless youth, etc. Going from one abusive situation to the next is a known pattern. If the ‘rescue’ you’re being offered isn’t actually safe, you should be able to leave and you should have other options.
