there’s not really much discussion of child neglect on here so i guess i have to do it
p l e a s e don’t shame neglect survivors for not knowing “basic” things like how to eat a balanced diet, when to go to the doctor, how to drive, etc. you know these things (usually) because a caring adult taught them to you. we didn’t have that. we often enter adulthood knowing jack shit about how to take care of ourselves. we know we’re missing information, and we feel so fucking lost.
it’s okay to, if you have a friend who’s experienced neglect, try and help them learn how to take care of themselves. saying things like “hey, do you think you could try to eat at least one vegetable per day?” or “that infection looks pretty bad, do you want to go to a doctor?” is genuinely helpful. but belittling us for not already knowing these things is completely unproductive and unnecessarily cruel.

No, it’s actually Russian Ballet dancer Kirill Sokolovski (New Instagram / Old Instagram)! First we had “Otabek,” and now here is Yuri :O And it’s not just the looks, either:
1. He trains at Vaganova Ballet Academy, which is in St. Petersburg where he lives
2. He’s effortlessly flexible
3. He loves social media…a LOT
4. He has actually visited Japan before - here he is in Sendai and I’ll be damned if that doesn’t look like sassy Yuri during his Hasetsu visit
Bonus:
