I need to say something and I need y'all to be calm

if it isn't actively bad or harmful, no representation should be called "too simple" or "too surface level"

I have a whole argument for this about the barbie movie but today I wanna talk about a show called "the babysitters club" on Netflix

(obligatory disclaimer that I watched only two episodes of this show so if it's super problematic I'm sorry) (yes. I know it's based on a book, this is about the show)

this is a silly 8+ show that my 9 year old sister is watching and it manages to tackle so many complex topics in such an easy way. basic premise is these 13 year old girls have a babysitting agency.

in one episode, a girl babysits this transfem kid. the approach is super simple, with the kid saying stuff like "oh no, those are my old boy clothes, these are my girl clothes". they have to go to the doctor and everyone is calling the kid by her dead name and using he/him and this 13 year old snaps at like a group of doctors and they all listen to her. it's pure fantasy and any person versed in trans theory would point out a bunch of mistakes.

but after watching this episode, my little sister started switching to my name instead of my dead name and intercalating he/him pronouns when talking about me.

one of the 13 years old is a diabetic and sometimes her whole personality is taken over by that. but she has this episode where she pushes herself to her limit and passes out and talks about being in a coma for a while because of not recognizing the limits of her disability.

and this allowed my 9 year old sister to understand me better when I say "I really want to play with you but right now my body physically can't do that" (I'm disabled). she has even asked me why I'm pushing myself, why I'm not using my crutches when I complain about pain.

my mom is 50 years old and watching this show with my sister. she said the episode about the diabetic girl helped her understand me and my disability better. she grew up disabled as well, but she was taught to shut up and power through.

yes, silly simple representation can annoy you if you've read thousands of pages about queer liberation or disability radical thought, but sometimes things are not for you.

Please don't ignore me

Hello, I'm Lina from Gaza🇵🇸🍉. I'm part of a family of 8. I'm married with two young children. We've been bombed, besieged, and starved. Sadly, I've lost many of my family members❗ and I can't afford to lose any more. With a heavy heart, I'm asking you to help me spread my campaign. Please, what I'm asking is too much. Can you write a post about my story and share it with your friends? I desperately need your support. My father and brother were injured in the bombing and are in critical condition. They need to travel for treatment. I need your support. The genocide is still going on

You are my only hope for survival.

I really hope you and your family get the support yall deserve! I’m currently unable to donate directly, though I’ll likely open commission work in the future where the payment i accept is folks donating to campaigns like yours.

If any of you can, go donate to this family, or reblog this post if you can’t!

this is a lifesaver, my technique is legit just “fuck around and find out” 😌👍

I forgot I have to be active here so here’s my Twitter tutorial on how to draw folds I made a while back to help a friend!

What are tone tags

in short, tone tags are used to help indicate tone of any given message. this is helpful for folks like me who struggle to interpret tone! here’s an example (pay attention to the bolded tags):

“[name] is a really cool person! like, just look at them, they’re glowing. /gen”

“[name] is a really cool person! like, just look at them, they’re glowing. /s”

the “/gen” tag clarifies that this is a genuine statement, versus the “/s” tag indicating the speaker is being sarcastic. this may seem obvious to you given the context of the conversation, but to someone who can’t judge tone well, you can see how much of a difference these statements are, despite the text being the same. one is positive and supportive, the other critical.

a good thing to do to determine how often you should use tone tags is ask the person you’re talking with, especially if they’re open about being neurodivergent. different people will have different preferences! using tags like these can save you (and the person who needs them) a lot of miscommunication errors, leading to smoother conversations.

if you want more information about tone tags and how to use them, consult this website! thanks for asking :]
