i am really disappointed in some of y'all. the tactics you're using to dehumanize and remove agency from people who happen to be below a ridiculous, arbitrary age cutoff of 18 are the same as those used by bigots to say that minors' identities are invalid.
i am so, so, _so_, disappointed. it's not just here; this sort of outlook is systemic throughout queer communities. stop fucking telling kids to just "stay in their corner and play". this does not feel like the queer community i thought would welcome me when i was younger.
the drama is making me really angry mainly because people are shitting out the /horrible/ take that adults and minors cannot be friends without it being "creepy".
fuck that shit. fuck that shit to Hades and back. this is the kind of shit that ruins our already fucked up community so much more. you're not doing risk reduction here, you're just making shit weird when it's not.
i am friends with my coworkers. i have been working with them since i was 16; they are grad students. that is not a fucking creepy relationship, and honestly fuck you if you assume minors being friends with not-minors is problematic.

money (-), mh (-), asking for help
My mental health has been really bad the past month and I've really burned out from doing commissions, which is my primary source of income.
I haven't been able to do as much as I've needed to so I'm running out of money for bills and food, and I generally need a break from commissions for a couple of weeks after I've finished the ones i've committed to because I really can't do anymore without a break.
An important thing!

nonbinary misgendering and trans exclusion
just want to post an appreciation message for the nonbinary trans people who do transition, but struggle to talk about it or feel included in the community, or find safe information without being misgendered
not every trans person on estrogen is a girl, not every trans person on testosterone is a boy
but to find resources on those things it is all very binarist, and people keep gendering body types
update: piano is cool but the keys wobble way too much sideways and then register as other keys. I wonder if I can diy some kind of bracket to make them stay in their track
I was really sceptical I'd have fun with Labo after building the motorcycle which is honestly underwhelming. I didn't expect much of the fishing rod and I had a blast! Gonna build the piano next
