there’s not really much discussion of child neglect on here so i guess i have to do it
p l e a s e don’t shame neglect survivors for not knowing “basic” things like how to eat a balanced diet, when to go to the doctor, how to drive, etc. you know these things (usually) because a caring adult taught them to you. we didn’t have that. we often enter adulthood knowing jack shit about how to take care of ourselves. we know we’re missing information, and we feel so fucking lost.
it’s okay to, if you have a friend who’s experienced neglect, try and help them learn how to take care of themselves. saying things like “hey, do you think you could try to eat at least one vegetable per day?” or “that infection looks pretty bad, do you want to go to a doctor?” is genuinely helpful. but belittling us for not already knowing these things is completely unproductive and unnecessarily cruel.
in a disappointing but totally unsurprising turn of events, this site continues to be the absolute worst! if installing older themes is giving you this message, you’re going to have to replace each http:// with https:// in the code for it to (hopefully) work, as i don’t have time to update all my codes! using ctrl/command+F and replace all should sort it. sorry about this
I was feeling restless in a doodly way, and just couldn’t fall asleep without drawing something and I don’t know why my brain decided on a tiny gay dinosaur to get that out of my system, but who am I to say no to a tiny gay dinosaur.
help, my wife is napping and i miss her but she deserves her rest
If you replace “wife” with “fiancee,” and “napping” with “sleeping after going to bed early,” this is me rn
if you replace “wife” with “master Frodo” and “napping” with “sleeping after Elvish surgery following an incident with a cursed Morgul blade” this is Sam Gamgee rn
