Let it go, let it go, can’t hold it back anymore. Let it go, let it go, turn away and slam the door. / Show yourself, let me see who you are. Show yourself, step into your power.
Florence: I don’t want to have sex. Dr. Milburn: Okay. Do you want to have a seat? Not having sex is a valid choice. And you shouldn’t have sex unless you– Florence: No. I don’t want to have sex at all. Ever, with anyone. I think I might be broken. Dr. Milburn: Do you know what asexuality is? It’s when someone has no sexual attraction to any sex or gender. Sex just… doesn’t do it for some people. Florence: Oh. But I still want to fall in love. Dr. Milburn: Well, some asexual people still want romantic relationships, but they don’t want the sex bit. Others don’t want either. Sex doesn’t make us whole. And so, how could you ever be broken?
pardon the poor quality of these gifs, but Netflix doesn’t make gif-making easy. plus, i felt that this scene was done too well for stills.
again, huge glaring content warning for this series, as Sex Education covers a wide breadth of sexual subject matter in a typical in-your-face Netflix manner, but the show definitely is worth watching if you can stomach its content & delivery. i might write a proper post about my thoughts on it later…
to be fair though it has to be accompanied by that exact image, otherwise the format could be read as extreme disbelief/loud exclamations
Oh yes thereâs no way to convey ~SaRcAsM~ through written text.
I dunno this ways always worked for me ^^^^^
Hmmmm. No. No sarcasm. Oh no. Never any sarcasm here. What. Whatever would we do if you could display sarcasm through text. Oh my. How could you suggest such a thing. Oh jeez.
That settles it. The older generations are just weak.
If someone is coming out to you/telling you about their sexuality, match their energy.
If they’re not making it a big deal, you shouldn’t either.
If they’re really nervous or emotional, respond with compassion.
If they’re excited, be excited with them.
I’ve seen a lot of things that seem to imply that it’s always best to be really super amped about someone coming out, but that kind of energy can be embarrassing or uncomfortable if the person doesn’t feel the same way.
On the flip side, if you respond with indifference, you might think you’re being s good friend by not caring whether they’re gay or straight or whatevs, but that can be extremely invalidating if this is a monumental or exciting moment for the person.
My therapist told me something meaningful yesterday, she said “It’s important to remember that when you’re depressed you have to nurse yourself and be extra gentile towards yourself. Just like an athlete wouldn’t break an ankle then force themselves to run that ankle. They rest as it heals and do not think “I am a failed athelete” they think, “right now something isn’t working so i’ll take care of myself until it does.“
Just like a broken bone, depression can change the way your daily life plays out, and pushing yourself too hard and getting frustrated when you don’t feel better is just like trying to run on that broken ankle and getting frustrated when it doesn’t heal.
Read this. Then read it again. And then save it and read it over and over when you are depressed.
Just so you guys know, the toxic anti-vegan/vegetarian culture in online spaces is exactly what leads people into thinking that this kind of shit is okay.
Other problems:
This can make a Hindu person violate their religious practices (as in the poor people will eat cow meat, which is a massively awful thing in their religion) You may very well be responsible for the death of a person with a serious allergy to contents of either food You may end up causing some issues for a person with autism or similar neurodivergent status You may be responsible for the hospitalization or death of a person with dietary restrictions in either dish You would be actively forcing people who you donât know to violate their ethical principles for a sick joke, and there is a word for people who do things like this for no gain to themselves and just harm others âfor funâ - EVIL! Literally the word is evil Youâre breaking the law as far as I know - at the very least youâre making issues for the poor employees in doing this
Yea honestly Iâm not particularly into veganism but I throwdown for them for exactly this reason. Violating other peopleâs diets without their knowledge is fucking awful and I just knew it would lead people to pulling stunts like this. I relate so hard to people not taking your dietary restrictions seriously as a Muslim, like if they had switched it with pork it wouldâve been violating both my and Jewish peopleâs religious practices.
Never ever swap peopleâs food. Itâs never funny, itâs never clever, it is always potentially life threatening, disrespectful and disgusting.
THIS IS NOT OK
honestly this EXACT thing is why Iâm real uncomfortable when people get angry and toxic at the mere MENTION of veganism/vegetarianism.Â
This shitâs not funny, itâs potentially life-threatening (And yes, there ARE people out there with specific meat allergens! I have a friend who is deathly allergic to poultry specifically! I would not be shocked to learn someone is allergic to beef or pork specifically!), and is considered âfood tamperingâ which is illegal and involves prison time in most cases.Â
Youâre not clever, youâre not funny, and youâre not âshowing up those damn vegetarians/vegansâ either (Like, regardless of whether you think most vegans are kinda a prick about it, the fact remains the majority actually arenât, and punishing a random ass stranger for the actions of a vocal minority is ALWAYS bad!)Â
Like, believe me, the moment someone even JOKES about messing with my food is the moment I permanently stop trusting them with anything, ever, about anything. Itâs not okay.Â
