Re-uploading my most recent video because several of my key visuals were out of sync and it looked like shit 🙃
I do try my best with these videos, but I am a one-woman team and sometimes I miss things.. so I fixed the issues and am currently re-uploading it. This will probably kill the video, but I would rather put out something that I am proud of that nobody sees than put out something shit that LOTS of people see.
If you have 5 mins to spare, please consider throwing my video on in the background and liking it so I can try and recoup some of my lost traction. I’ll post it here in the next 10 or so mins
The talk I gave tonight was primarily about how babies, as well as young children, experience hyperconsciousness, something that is often considered one of the main reasons why children at these stages are ‘difficult’ to handle.
Kids man, they encompass some of the most phenomenal thought processes and it is all driven by the fact that this whole world is completely new to them. If you want to see abstract ideas constructed in a matter of seconds, talk to a child. Their grasp is unbelievable.
Even if you feel that children whine, cry, and scream too much… in considering how they’re in a world they had no prior concept of, and are subject to an uncontrollable amount of stimuli every waking moment…. I still believe they’re handling it all fairly well.
This conference made me realize how much of a passion I have for destigmatizing childhood behaviors. There’s a sort of ‘Ahh..’ moment that people come to when they see that children actually have reasons for everything they do, that they shouldn’t be viewed as underdeveloped ‘functioning’ adults but should instead be recognized as humans in a separate yet equally important stage of life.
I’ve also been doing some work in researching and writing about children as an oppressed class, I’m finding ways to incorporate my previous sentiments into that.
OP really singles out that stubborn refusal to recognize babies and kids as Human People dealing with extreme new stimuli All The Time, Forever and hits the nail on the head, huh. And yet they’re so right, bc kids are handling that situation with a lot more grace than you might expect!!! Kids would be justified in freaking out way more than they do, in all honesty.
and not to lighten things up too much with a joke but i really feel like anyone who still hasn’t grown out of the propensity to bitch about kids doing xyz “annoying” thing in public without any sense of sympathy for what that kid’s going through should have this tweet tattooed into their eyelids:
Headcanon based on nothing but I have because I think it’d be really funny is 4077 members absorbing Potter’s curses into their vocabulary and continuing to use them post-canon without even realizing it
i think kids online should really get back to making internetsonas instead of whatever fuckshit this is with putting their entire real faces, names, ages, and such everywhere. you’re not gonna realize how nice internet privacy is until you dont have it anymore and no chance at getting it back. make up a guy and a name and just be that online. make up conflicting details about your completely made up backstory. make a fursona or something
i saw people talking about this on THIS website, saying how it was Suspicious if you didn’t have your ostensibly real name and info on your account like. NO THAT IS WHAT IT IS FOR. be safe!! be a made up wizard!! (and sure as hell be someone your job/parents/school/we won’t find) this isn’t faced book. also, i really hate to break it to you, but that person who has full name and info on their acc ……… could also be making it up
I’m like if a chivalrous knight kissed a fair maiden’s hand and said “my lady, I fight for you” and then walked off and immediately tripped over his own armor and fell on the ground
