    ik this is a shitpost but that’s like the worst possible way to handle that situation

    i’m like a third-generation none, my parents were both raised secular and their marriage was officiated by a guy from the a.h.a., but i had some christian classmates in like kindergarten or first grade (public school in california) and i sorta half remember asking my mom some question about something i’d heard them say at some point or another, and what she did was she explained to me (in 5yo detail, anyway) what christianity even was, which i didn’t really understand at that point, and that was enough to make it clear to me how silly it all was.

    one of the easiest ways to figure out who to trust, imo, is looking for who can most accurately and fairly describe what their opponents’ argument is. trying to hide it away from a kid who’s looking for answers is just going to make it more intriguing. going over it in detail makes it clear what the problems are.

    e: damn, who’d i piss off










  • Bottom right is cool in a vacuum, but there’s like… a shade of swastika to it? I dunno, maybe that’s just extremely online of me, but I’d be a little hesitant on it for that reason as compared to middle bottom.

    The one that strikes my fancy the most is middle right, maybe just because it reminds me a little bit of Strava. Maybe the Fediverse colors could be applied to that one in some way, maybe teal and blue on top, red and orange on bottom, and purple as a fill? Or blue and purple on top with teal as a fill. In my head that looks cool, but in practice it might look like total ass. Worth trying anyway imo.

    I had a trans classmate in high school. We weren’t friends, he was a real jerk for the first two years I knew him, until he socially transitioned between sophomore and junior year. He mellowed out a lot after that, but we still never really made friends.

    I’m now in music education and have encountered multiple trans students. The one that sticks out to me the most is the kid whose parents didn’t accept him as trans, because he told us we had to deadname him and misgender him any time his parents were around, which, unfortunately, included when he was on stage during a bit of a show he was in in which part of the production was everybody getting introduced during one of the songs. I know he really appreciated us accepting him and having his back like that, but I hated that we had to do that.

    That super sucks about your friend. So unfair that he finally felt comfortable with his identity, and then crashed straight into /c/fuckcars.
