once someone did this when picking up stimulants and she was really embarrassed and I was like "no worries this happens a lot" and she was like "really" and I was like "I mean I do see what the med is for,"

Why was this excuse used to minimize a threat against a Black woman, but citing Johnny Cash lyrics or expressing disgust at someone minimizing pedophila and child-trafficking consider worthy of a suspension?

Who the target is seems to matter more than the language used.
We do not condone death threats and will continue to remove accounts when we believe their posts represent targeted harassment or a credible threat of violence. But not all heated language crosses the line into a death threat.

Specifically the narrator is basically like "Tress did not notice what tower looked like, but ~I did, and when I pointed it out to the Sorceress she offered to put a yonic symbol on my forehead" which is the only part that makes me think kids might ask, like "wait what DID the tower look like?"

Tress of the Emerald Sea

at the very end of the book there IS a somewhat oblique joke about a tower looking phallic and the word "yonic" is used, which ~I will feel comfortable explaining to a 9-year-old if she asks but I figure fair warning

If people believe only pedophiles sexually abuse children, they’re much more likely to turn their back on a victim abused by someone like their father.

I am currently peer pressuring Zoë into reading it, it feels like it's about the same reading level as the Percy Jackson books

those of you who know me might be reading this like "tone tag: derogatory" and in fact the book is so delightful that I am NOT, in fact, I desire all to receive it

As per usual I have gone into debt to survive so that's the other goal but my main goal is to not have to ask the bishop for rent next month. Because I am being pressured to do things I don't want to do.
