genuinely so fucking tired of people leveraging the “groomer” argument against people who support sex ed because scientific literature over decades shows that comprehensive sex education starting around kindergarten actually prevents children from being sexually abused and groomed because it teaches children the correct words for their body parts and also teaches them concepts of privacy, personal space, bodily autonomy, the difference between appropriate and inappropriate touching, and the fact that sex is something that only adults do. children with this knowledge are not only better equipped to identify abuse and predatory behavior and communicate that its happening to a trusted adult, but also prevent it from happening in the first place by recognizing when something is happening that shouldn’t.
sex education does not sexualize children, it prevents children from being sexualized. anyone who is against early foundational sex education and claims they are doing it to protect children is a fucking liar.
are you people capable of doing literally anything except regurgitate articles from right-wing news sources with very poor fact-checking? good fucking god.
“child masturbation” is referring to a woman thinking masturbation is good for all ages and you shouldn’t shame children for exploring their own bodies and instead answer their questions and give them the correct names for body parts.
no one was telling anyone to give themselves an abortion, there was a section explaining what a legally and medically safe self-managed abortion is. same thing with sex on drugs.
the report is about an online seminar referred to as 'sexy summer camp’ for attendants 16 and above, not 13 and above, as the article states. 16 and above is a perfectly fine age to discuss things like abortion and drugs, because at that age those are subjects they are very likely to interact with in their real lives. the article straight up lies to make the content seem less age appropriate.
sexy sex ed is an organization dedicated to giving comprehensive sex ed to people in rural appalachia, a region with some of the highest teen pregnancy rates in the country, and now the organizers are getting death threats en masse because of moral panic and shitty reporting by a guy who is also one of the main orchestrators of critical race theory fearmongering. great fucking job.
with that being said; sexy sex ed has a donation link, everyone should chip in if they can. kids and especially teens in rural appalachia are critically underserved in the sexual wellness department and they’re doing their very best to fill that void. they provide out free contraceptives and HIV testing at in-person events and have talks specifically about navigating sex and sexuality as a trans person and a disabled person. it’s good stuff.
The best reason to marry Emily over any other potential suitor in Stardew Valley is that if you marry her, it takes away the only shred of hope in useless, sad-sack Clint’s life, and essentially guarantees that he can’t even fantasize about not dying alone and completely unloved, which is exactly what he deserves.
Many of the suitors in SV are wonderful and worthy of your love, but only by marrying Emily can you reach the true endgame of Stardew Valley - making Clint as miserable as humanly possible.
I think I know what my next big binge is gonna be next year… ;)
OH, FRABJOUS DAY! THE MOMENT EVERY SUPER-KOOK HAS DREAMED OF! <3
“Thank you very much! Thank you very much! That’s the nicest thing that anyone’s ever done for me! It sounds a bit bizarre, but things the way they are, I feel as if another life’s begun for me! And if I had a cannon I would fire it, to add a sort of celebration touch! But, since I left me cannon at home, I’ll simply have to say: thank you very, very, very muuuuch!”
Is this real cause like… I actively said “holy shit” out loud in class and my professor went .
My paranoid ass is trying not to get overly excited about it… however…
