Here’s your stern and serious reminder that no matter what tumblr tries to tell you, if you are under the age of eighteen, you absolutely cannot take nudes of yourself. You can’t even take them and keep them on your phone. It counts as child porn. You could be arrested. Anyone you send them to could be arrested. Your parents could be arrested if they’re the ones paying for the phone. I don’t care how many people try to make it seem like body positivity. 

It has nothing to do with body positivity.

It’s a felony. 

Don’t do it.

I looked this up, just to get a source on it.

“Though their laws were created to protect minors from exploitation caused by others, states are prosecuting minors under child pornography statutes for sending nude or otherwise lurid self-portraits, even when the minors sent the selfies without coercion. The common quirk in the laws is that there is no exception for taking or distributing sexually explicit pictures of oneself. Thus, a high school student sending a racy seflie to a boyfriend or girlfriend could subject both themselves and the receiver to prosecution for child pornography. If the picture makes its way around other social circles through online or direct sharing, anyone who received or distributed the photo could also find themselves open to charges.”

The OP is 100% correct. If you are under 18, any nude picture of you–even selfies–counts as child porn.

Don’t do it.

So as of the current Overwatch PTR, typing gg ez into chat will cause the game to pull a sentence from a pool and cause you to say that instead.  The current lines are:

  • Great game, everyone!
  • It was an honor to play with you all. Thank you.
  • Good game! Best of luck to you all!
  • I’m wrestling with some insecurity issues in my life but thank you all for playing with me.
  • C’mon, Mom! One more game before you tuck me in. Oops mistell.
  • Gee whiz! That was fun. Good playing!
  • Well played. I salute you all.
  • I could really use a hug right now.
  • It’s past my bedtime. Please don’t tell my mommy.
  • Ah shucks… you guys are the best!
  • I feel very, very small… please hold me…
  • For glory and honor! Huzzah comrades!
  • Mommy says people my age shouldn’t suck their thumbs.
  • I’m trying to be a nicer person. It’s hard, but I am trying, guys.
  • Wishing you all the best.

I woke up this morning and decided that when pokemon go gets some updates and trainer v trainer battles are implemented, I’m going to start my life anew as a team rocket grunt. I’ll get the outfit together and a good team with koffing and ekans- and go out to meetups so I can lose to children everywhere.

I’ll have phrases ready too. “I can’t believe it- a kid BESTED ME?” “Aw boss is gonna let me have it after this!” “You have such a strong bond with your pokemon- is that why you won? Hmph.”

there is literally so much positivity in the tags of this post i’m gonna cry– yall are so sweet

This is such a wonderful idea!! Petition for teams of people everywhere to be team rocket grunts and be nice to children !!

Social skills: noticing when repetition is communication

realsocialskills:

So there’s this dynamic:

Autistic person: The door is open!

Other person: I *know* that. It’s hot in here.

Autistic person: The door is open!

Other person: I already explained to you that it’s hot in here!

Autistic person: The door is open!

Other person: Why do you have to repeat things all the time?!

Often when this happens, what’s really going on is that the autistic person is trying to communicate something, and they’re not being understood. The other person thinks that they are understanding and responding, and that the autistic person is just repeating the same thing over and over either for no reason or because they are being stubborn and inflexible and obnoxious and pushy.

When what’s really happening is that the autistic person is not being understood, and they are communicating using the words they have. There’s a NT social expectation that if people aren’t being understood, they should change their words and explain things differently. Sometimes autistic people aren’t capable of doing this without help.

So, if this is happening, assume it’s communication and try to figure out what’s being communicated. If you’re the one with more words, and you want the communication to happen in words, then you have to provide words that make communication possible. For example:

Other person: Do you want the door to be closed, or are you saying something else?

Autistic person: Something else

Other person: Do you want to show me something outside, or something else?

Autistic person: Something else

Other person: Are you worried about something that might happen, or something else?

Autistic person: Worried

Other person: Are you worried that something will come in, or that something will go out?

Autistic person: Baby

Other person: She’s in her crib, and the baby gate is up. Is that ok, or is there still a problem?

Autistic person: ok
