[Video: a construction worker shoveling dirt as children on the other side of the fence yell “YAY!” every time dirt is moved.]
Often I am struck with the child like desire to just dig a hole. Kids love to dig holes.
Kids have a pure admiration for blue collar workers. Garbage truck drivers, construction workers, fire fighters, etc. They appreciate and respect these people more than grown ass adults do.
Cause kids see big trucks and machines and the awesome people that know how to use it. Their mentality is “Parents don’t let me play in dirt and this guys gets PAID to play in dirt”
And that’s a good thing. We need to hold on to that and foster it in kids. That all labor is valuable and that there is no shame in doing it.
Been called slurs by people I know but not strangers, and I doubt I ever will. Maybe one day!
try platonically holding hands with another amab person 🙃
I’ve never been called a slur but I did get misgendered a lot at one point lol
did people apologize profusely right after?
yeah that’s annoying… it also happens to me, but the other way. people start correcting themselves to my assigned gender right after i open my mouth to say something
not really, it was mostly strangers that did it + I was like 13 at the time and sometimes I just couldn’t be bothered to correct them
artists are unstoppable they will take the 3 characters in your game that are each 4 pixels tall, do character design on em, and make them all kiss each other gayly
