the very tumblr specific feeling when there is someone with a completely unfamiliar url, icon and interest on your dash and you're not sure if a beloved mutual has fallen into a hyperfixation hole and changed their entire look and vibe on a whim or if you just accidentally clicked wrong on some post and followed a complete stranger

As a woman who is both gender non-conforming and who is planning a pregnancy in the near future AND who works with children, I am very invested in the conversation about the confines of femininity, the complexities of motherhood and the fascistic expectation of women to have children. I also often find it deeply frustrating.
I do not think it should need to be said, but unfortunately it absolutely is, that nobody should ever be forced to become pregnant, be a parent or carry a pregnancy to term. Ever. This requires both complete and total abortion rights & access but also the dismantling of the gendered expectation of women to want and need children. Remaining child free should not only be possible for women, it should also be normal and completely accepted. Anything else is oppressive.
However, I am deeply bothered by how many people who share these views talk about children. I have come across many posts describing children in cruel and dehumanizing ways, emphasizing how gross and terrible children are and how much of a burden they are to their parents. This, I think is also wrong.
Children are a particularly vulnerable population. They often have very little rights and autonomy and are at the whims of adults around them, which makes then particularly vulnerable to abuse. Children are real, fully realized people who have very specific needs and considerations. Constantly discussing how disgusting and terrible children are, means attacking people who have no power and cannot defend themselves, legally or otherwise. These views cannot be separated from calls to remove children from public life, like parks and transportation, the practice of which is both dehumanizing and oppressive. This goes hand in hand with the gendered oppression of women who are unfortunately still often the primary caregivers of children. Forcing children out of the public sphere means forcing mothers out of it too. And the right to not have children needs to go hand in hand with the right to have children. Women need abortion rights and access but they also need the right and access to give birth for free. They need robust childcare and child & family friendly infrastructure. Otherwise the only people who can afford to have children are wealthy elites.
The rights of women to not have children and the rights of children and mothers go hand in hand. They are not contradictory. Being a parent is a complex relationship, one wrought with a long history of violence and oppression of children and women. It is not easy to navigate, and nobody should be expected to do it. Simultaneously, the people who do decide to do it deserve help and support, not scorn or mockery. And most of all, children, all children, even the annoying, dirty and screaming ones deserve a safe loving world that sees their full humanity, respects their perspectives and their bodily autonomy. We are all a part of creating that world for them. Society should be about being good to each other, and that includes children too.
me when a character who was completely powerless gains power and proceeds to lose themselves in the intoxication of it before coming to and being horrified by their own capacity for bloodlust

People know that the whole "don't portray [harmful action] because viewers might recreate it" thing is a rule for children's shows right? It's supposed to be shit like "don't show peppa pig playing with fire so we don't get sued if a kid watches it and burns their house down." Not like, fanfiction for adults.
Edit: this was me venting about fandom cops. not me making some nuanced hot take. don't be weird in my comments.
Edit 2: turning off notifications. PSA: do not use pet names for strangers, especially not without asking. it's creepy.
"believe in the hail mary" existing as an in-universe tagline but not from any official source. graffiti on a wall just outside the perimeter, the launch site visible in the background. uncredited but the photo goes viral online. publication of a formal notice that the graffiti has been removed so will people please stop coming to take photos of/with it. the backup crew and some of the team retweet the photo. #believeinthehailmary starts appearing on bios and bumper stickers and t-shirts. someone hacks the taipei 101's LED wall to say 相信聖母號 on the one year launch anniversary. next year there's more, dots of light all over the world. buildings lit in blue-white-orange. drones spelling it mid-air. and yet it all remains unrecognised until the end of stratt's interminable trial, when they ask if she has any last words before the verdict and there is no smile as she leans into the mic and says "just this: believe in the hail mary." and the court breaks out in uproar even as she repeats it in every language she speaks. the clip gets uploaded online in near-real time and people start stitching clips of themselves saying it too, in different languages and different lives. scientists working on climate-resistant species. ryland grace's students. the world is cold but still there is hope, always hope.
