I Believe We Aren't Going To See Substantial Progress In The Fight Against Child Abuse Until We Start

I believe we aren't going to see substantial progress in the fight against child abuse until we start viewing children as people group. More specifically, until we stop viewing children as a parent's property, and start listening to their voices in the same way we'd listen to any oppressed class.

I'm sick of dancing around the issue, especially in front of parents who get offended when other people "try to tell them how to parent their kids". You know what, I don't want to make friends with people who think it's okay to treat other people as your property, for any reason.

Children aren't legally allowed to own property, even though they can legally earn money at fourteen.

Children who can cognitively process algebra are allowed to be denied healthcare if their guardian disapproves.

In many states, children are allowed to be intentionally hit if it leaves no substantial harm on their body.

It is considered morally neutral to hate children.

Children constantly have their experiences, perspectives, and worldviews tokenized because "they'll understand when they're older"

In many states, children are not even allowed to choose what name they are called by.

And don't give me the "their brains haven't fully developed yet! They could make bad decisions!"

Listen. Adult people with intellectual disabilities can own property. They can still get healthcare if their nurses or assistants deny them healthcare. You're not allowed to spank someone with an ID or slap them if they do something you don't approve of. If they earn money or other assets, it is legally their own. And I think anyone who unironically claims to hate disabled people will be flagged as an ableist.

The fight for disabled rights is far from over. That's not the point I'm making. The point is that it isn't about whether someone's brain is fully developed.

They don't care about the kids. They care about controlling the kids. They view children as their physical possessions.

This is Taim and Tia. I have made several posts over the last few months about their family's fundraiser. Their mother, Eman has an account on tumblr, but it is difficult for her to update it and her instagram due to spotty internet. She and I have exchanged several messages over tumblr dm so I know her family is currently safe.

Donations have been slow lately. Please donate- even a little can go a long way. This fundraiser supports Taim, Tia, their older sister, as well as Eman and Eman's two sisters and parents.

In her messages to me, Eman has told me that she and her family are deeply grateful to everyone who has donated and shared their fundraiser.

As a reminder, this fundraiser was verified by @/el-shab-hussein.

no more horrifying emotion than reloading the gofundme page for my friend's family and seeing it being at the same amount as hours ago. he is a full time dental student while working multiple jobs to try to reduce the amount of money that needs to be crowdfunded.

his family is literally evading bombings every single day (sometimes multiple times a day) for the past 11.5 months. his youngest sister is so chronically malnourished that she doesn't even have the energy to cry out of fear anymore. the ground literally shakes and splinters, huge craters in the middle of neighborhoods. dozens of people still missing under rubble just this week.

if you have literally ANYTHING at all please help this family. this decision to move out of Jabalia to somewhere safer is the last resort and it's looking like it has to happen soon. iof announced the intent to cut off North Gaza from the rest of the strip two days ago, saying Hamas was hiding there amongst civilians. we've heard this excuse being used to justify mass murder multiple times. please DO SOMETHING. i am deathly afraid for the safety of the younger siblings.

only one donation in the past FOUR HOURS. no donations in the past TWO. €61,639 / €70,000 needed. this is life or death. i literally do not know how else to rephrase this. donations dearly needed.

While I Hate The Fact That The "Fukumura Mizuki Era" Is Even A Thing, I Would At Least Feel Better If

While I hate the fact that the "Fukumura Mizuki Era" is even a thing, I would at least feel better if it had a less boring name. Mizukingdom Era? Leader Knows Best Era? Morning Mizuki Era? Mizukingdom Musume Era? (Hot) Pink Era? 911 Era?
