Pennywise
I can’t decide if I’m creeped out or full of admiration for this cosplay. I watched it progress and it was seriously impressive, the amount of work that went into it. You should definitely follow the cosplay page!
Blush: Recommendation Wednesday: Time article about teens
My cousin shared this article from Time a couple weeks ago.
It brings up some excellent points about the disconnect between what teenagers are taught and how the “rules” are applied in reality.
For one thing, when most teenagers (and adults) think about rapists, they think of some murky, shadowy stranger armed to the teeth lying in wait for their victims in the bushes.
Which is incorrect.
Rapists look like anyone who doesn’t listen when their partner says no.
Rapists are anyone who doesn’t get (and I quote from the article) “[…]consent needs to be
informed, enthusiastic, sober, ongoing and freely given.”
We should be teaching everyone about consent.
I mean, if my 2 year old can get it, then so can teenagers and adults. It’s not that hard, once you’re taught how it works.
