be brave... be the bravest ever!

just a quick psa- ANY form of harassment that has to do with sexual themes is sexual harassment.

The word pedophile is still extremely stigmatized and used interchangeably with "predator" by the general population. When an average person hears that word, they immediately think of a child predator, not a person with paraphilia or a person with a disorder. It makes a lot of sense that some people will be uncomfortable calling themselves a word that is treated as so dirty and dangerous by the society. There is a sense of social shame in being called a pedophile that most people who still suffer with self-acceptance want to avoid. Why make it even more difficult for them to heal from the self-loathing and shame?

Labels are things people choose for themselves. You can't force labels on others and if they feel comfortable using one abbreviation that is more seperate than a mainstream word, that's okay.

(Yes, some people also use it because they want a more broad term but there are enough posts about that so I wanted to bring up a different reason.)

This is a cranberry bog (unflooded) it’s how cranberries grow. Once they’re ripe, the blog is flooded and the cranberries harvested.

His farm was on the leading edge of kinda using organic/sustainable pest control methods, and one of the things that they did to keep insect damage down was that they encouraged wolf spiders to live in the cranberry field, to eat the bugs. 

This was all fine and good until they flooded the bog. Now, you don’t just like flood the bog and then go around it in a boat or whatever. No, you use hip waders to get in there and put the big floaty things where they go and get all the berries and such.

Well when you’re in the bog in hip waders, that makes you the tallest thing. Wolf spiders can swim a bit, but they don’t like it, so they’re, quite understandably, looking to climb out of the water onto a tall thing.

So yeah the first interview question he always asked potential cranberry bog harvester hires was “are you cool with spiders?”

If there's a promise I can make it's this :}
