The fact that it's actually Friday is hilarious for me!

Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

Look buddy, i’m just trying to make it to Friday.

What kind of world do I live in?! When's the next rocket launch so I can hitch hike of this fucking planet! Live in my own solitude. *Sigh* If only...

BTW don't own this gif.

instead of continuously over-donating to ao3 when those running the site are racist zionist sympathisers who shut down support of palestine from its volunteers 1 / 2 (among myriad other issues that u should NOT be funding) please direct your attention to these incomplete fundraisers for people in gaza and various tangible operations doing work. this is a call that if u have donated even a cent to ao3 to a) match that in your donations to palestinians/causes and b) stop donating so uncritically and unconditionally to ao3, pressure them. id like to direct u to @end-otw-racism

I was walking through the toy aisle at Target when I found this thing and had a VIOLENT AND IMMEDIATE FLASHBACK to when JP first came out and they had a bunch of REALLY COOL T Rex toys that I would have sold one of my scrawny small-child limbs for but my mother wouldn’t get me one because they were “too violent and also ate people” :(

You said bullying was abuse. Can you expand on that a bit more?

Okay so...

 Bullying is a term we throw around a lot but the truth is that a bully is just a term a lot of people use to try and go: it’s not that bad when kids are beating each other up or hurting each other.

 I might just be very cynical but in my experience, plus a few documentaries plus my own education, schools do NOT want to have to admit that kids beat each other up because it makes them look bad. As well, if a kid is popular, skilled in some competition, smart or draws some sort of popular attention, teachers and school admin do not want them to be punished.

 Teachers and school admins will not side with the bullied kid. They will ‘talk’ to the child but that’s it. They won’t do anything.

 One documentary, in particular, stands out because the bully would flip the seat up on the bus, put their victim’s head in the seat hole, put the seat down and sit on the seat. The principal acted as if stopping that was enough.

 It wasn’t because the bully continued to hit, punch and choke the other kid out.

If a school admits they have a bullying problem they look bad, so they hide it and say the victims are lying or faking it or being dramatic. And suing them won’t work. Sorry, but schools have good lawyers and school boards will back them up.

 But that’s a rant. Bullying is a term used here because actually calling it what it is sounds worse.

 Assault. Abuse. Harassment.

 A boy snapping a bra strap? Bullying according to teachers.

 In truth? Sexual harassment.

A bunch of boys destroying someone’s stuff? Bullying?

No, destruction of private property, vandalism and emotional abuse.

A child being ganged up and beaten by bullies? Boys being boys or well, bullying.

The truth? They could be charged for assault.

Bullying is a term used to try and smooth over the harsh facts that bullies are just abusers who are young enough people don’t want to admit they are committing criminal acts.

 But if you don’t stop it? Well, sometimes they do straighten out.

 Other times they continue those actions and hurt others. Now it’s called abuse and assault when they’re still doing the same damn fucking thing they did as a kid.

 So... yeah. Bullying is abuse and assault.
