I still sometimes think about the guy in my lower secondary school English class in probably 2016 reading the infobox on the Wikipedia article for Tanzania, and saying out loud, “Official languages: none de jure??”, pronouncing it in a heavy singsongy Norwegian accent like “NOO-nuh duh YEW-ruh??”, apparently believing “None De Jure” to be the name of some sort of obscure African language rather than just meaning “no official language”
And then I remember that this was around the same time that the teacher asked what New York was named after, and I raised my hand and answered “the Dork of York”. And then my soul goes nichijou_pencil_stab.mp4 for a bit
CW: abuse
when i was younger, in like 2nd or 3rd grade, all the other kids knew what sex was before i did and would trick me into both saying and doing sexual things that i didn’t understand. now i have PTSD and tons of sexual hangups, which is super fun. we need to teach young kids about this shit or they absolutely will be taken advantage of by adults or other kids, ‘innocence’ is just a liberal bullshit way of saying ‘ignorance’ and it only makes kids easier to manipulate and abuse, you aren’t protecting them by making them unable to identify threats and abuse.
Absolutely, absolutely
:yea:
Some vibes :/
