This is actually very important!
Also, for our account/blog, we are fine with minors interacting with most of our posts [only posts we wouldn't want them interacting with are more nsfw posts, which is just kinda common sense and shit] but we aren't wanting to talk to minors in dms, this is just a specific thing that we have that we are allow to say.
If you are a minor interacting with our posts, that's 100% fine, and if you want to chat in replies or asks or reblogs, that's also 100% fine with us. Just no dms with minors. That's one of our only "rules" for our account/blog when it comes to minors interacting and shit.

Saw a tiktok of a guy saying he doesnât feel comfortable talking to minors because heâs 19. And itâs just. Iâm so fucking tired of this.
And like to be clear, Iâm speaking as a victim of pedophilia when I say: We need to get over this collective fear of endangering children. Because holy shit, this stuff is getting out of hand.
The average person is not a threat to a child.
And also!!! It is actually really really good for kids to have friendships with adults that arenât their family.
Having friendships with adults when youâre younger prepares you for adult life in a better way then only interacting with adults that are family members or teacher as well.
And also if thereâs any sort of weird behavior happening with adults or teachers, itâs very helpful to have unrelated adults, you can go to, and also have a model for what normal adults are supposed to look like.
And also! Youâre just making it way easier for pedophiles to prey on children when you completely avoid interacting with them as an adult. Because kids are naturally inquisitive and curious. They are going to want to interact with adults and they are going to want to ask questions. And if the only adult adults that are willing to interact and speak with them or adults who have ulterior motivations. Guess whatâs gonna happen.
Also on a more general note. Having a model for what a normal healthy adult is supposed to look like makes it way easier for kids to be able to recognize and identify when adults in their personal life are being weird.
Absolutely, it's a good feeling to know that you have everything you need close by!!

My family always gets annoyed I keep a bad with me (either in the car or on my person) but I need it
It has my money, my id/my learners permit, noise cancelling headphones, blue tooth headphones and ear buds, period pads, small snacks in case I didn't eat and/or I feel fainty, A book for in case I need something to focus on/fill time, a couple bracelets and a plushie to fidget with and help if I have a melt down, as well as my tablet for my music for car rides and to distract from the other over stimulating noises and my house keys, and a small notebook and a pen/pencil in case I need to write something down so I remember it or doodle
All in just a medium sized backpack
I don't always bring it in with me depending on the circumstances, but I like knowing everything I need I have at least somewhat close
All of this is a mood, including the tags, lol.
Our "many" disabilities disable us? Who would have guessed? Lol (this is mostly a dig at ourselves).

I often have to stop myself whenever I catch myself going âitâs just that easyâ or âwhy canât I be like this all the time?â after doing the most mundane shit without second thought.
Itâs not that easy, Iâm just having a really good day so far.
I canât be like that all the time, I have a disability.
And thatâs ok.
