you're going to be amazing

Im too lazy to track down the original post but it’s spring so kink meme or whatever

“Why is the Red Discourse so horrible” Because decent people don’t want to talk about reds and pollution day after day so only the weirdos are left.

I hope this makes some of you in a better mood. Because I’m feeling quite over the day. But this helps a bit. 

This post makes me want a duck.

This is the cutest fucking thing ever. I want a duck.

ask meme: what’s something you’ve always wanted to know about me?

Stop harassing people who are sad about the reds? Yes it’s weird, and most of them are a bit delusional. But like, so is being hypersensitive, but you wouldn’t scream at a hypersensitive for being distressed by things that wouldn’t distress a mesosensitive. Like, c'mon people.

that last bit is unnecessarily mean but i agree with the general point! someone got very offended and upset at me wanting my child to be safe. i wonder if the people who say these things actually have any experience with taking care of kids who like to run off.

I think probably the tone of the original ad didn’t help. I would absolutely track my daughter if she was a wanderer, but I’d show her how it worked - “there’s a little tag in your shirt, and it talks to my everything! So if you do get off at the wrong train stop, we will know right where to find you and we’ll be right there”. An emphasis on how your kid can’t find and can’t destroy it is kind of a concerning focus. Do they think they’re marketing it mostly to parents who want to lie to their children and expect their children to try to destroy the tracker when they find it? I’m not saying that’s never justified, I can imagine a court ordering it for a truancy problem or something, but it seems like the primary market here is people who want to help their kids be independent and feel safe, and so the tone of the ad is strange. And also, yeah, most people on the internet are young and don’t have children and tend to feel bitter towards people who do, and that’s probably playing into this.
