tonight's movie night with friends: KEANU (the key and peele movie about a cat)

she's not great at spelling, lol

A child’s drawing featuring a girl in a goose costume. The headpiece is a large goose head and neck extended above her with her face peeking out at the bottom.

My niece drew a picture of her planned Halloween costume

Two sweet interlocking cats available in Minneapolis! They’re 11 and 13, so they will mostly sleep a lot and probably get in your lap and purr every once in a while, especially when it’s cold.

Understandable

you started out with "not to disagree" which implies you are actually disagree or that i said something wrong

the way you say that makes it sound like i'm agreeing with the panic. i am not and was not saying that.

it's an appliance, not furniture?

(My mom was assaulted by her brother, my uncle. Both are dead now. When I was born, Mom refused to let Uncle C come anywhere near me, which caused a rift in the family. This was in the late 80s, right as the satanic panic was starting, ironically.)

Also for a very long time, there’s been a lot of social punishment and stigma around 1. Being a survivor of it 2. Holding the person responsible to account especially within the family system. I didn’t meet cousins on my mom’s side until her funeral because of it.

I have not but it sounds like I need to

It takes a lot of emotional maturity to admit that CSA is almost never done by complete strangers and that in all likelihood, it's been done by someone you love and care about. And most people lack the ability to reckon with that, so we want to put it on monsters outside the family unit.

...people rent apartments and the fridges are part of their rentals. I cannot take out the drawers and throw them away. How old are you?

This was in large part the impetus behind the Satanic Panic. People couldn't *handle* that 1. kids were being abused, and 2. that the abusers were people they knew. So they projected all that anxiety outward on an enemy people could agree upon, and turned it into "these Others are monsters."

oh man, I'm watching an old season of Top Chef and Chris Pratt - pre-active douchebaggery - is on. What a trip.

The other day at a work event, one of my coworker's daughters was there helping out.

I was in the midst of getting something when the daughter went "Oh for fuck's sake." and I must've given her a look because she went "I fucking swear, okay?"

amazingly, Tonks and Minerva leave it alone!! I was worried they would do that, but they mostly just ignore it.

oliver's getting so big!!

Okay but some people are renters

A bunch of Lego figures on top of a kallax shelf from ikea. London skyline, a piranha plant, some flowers, a big tuxedo cat next to a gray kitten and the everything is awesome set.

I need to probably get a new shelf for display here.

3 Aug 25 - New study shows vast "over-representation of trans boys" turns out to be vast _under-representation_ of trans girls bec. they: a) come out ~10 years later; b) start puberty later; & c) delay transitioning longer because of deep social animus towards AMAB femininity.
