I Have Become A Regular At The Local Cafe. I Sit At The Lunch Counter With My Laptop To Write. The Workers

I have become a regular at the local cafe. I sit at the lunch counter with my laptop to write. The workers keep me updated on all the tea.

Barista: Oh god here he comes.

Me: who?

Barista: White Ferrari guy. Hes banned from the other cafe. All he ever does is tell the same stories about the pyramids. Or ghosts. Or his car. Don't make eye contact with him. If he talks to you he won't leave you alone- Hi hello welcome!

I keep thinking about this discussion I was watching the other day where two people were talking about tattoos and how people say younger people shouldn't be allowed to get tattoos because "they might regret them later."

One of the people spoke up and said something along the lines of that if she got a tattoo when they were younger and regretted it later, they didn't think that meant they shouldn't have been allowed to get the tattoo.

Because her younger self deserved the right to get that tattoo and enjoy it, even if they didn't like it 100 evolutions of character later. Their younger self still deserved the right to make that choice, just like her [insert age] self deserves the right to get tattoos their 90 year old self would despise. It would be a disrespect to claim otherwise.

Your younger self deserved the right to your body just as much as you do now, even if you don't like or agree with what they did with it.

What a beautiful mentality that applies to so many things.

A drawing because this image goes unbelievably hard

something having discourse because it's popular and it's fandom is massive doesn't mean it's problematic, just because it's quality is shitty, doesn't mean it's problematic.

I shall not act like I've truly interacted with problematic material (I haven't been around on this Earth that long, and in that time, I have found a very comfortable rock, and I no longer wish to leave), but figure out if it's actually problematic, just plain bad, or if it's just discourse before you actually claim it's problematic.

i recommend being a fan of 1 problematic piece of media at least once in your life
