You know what, since I'm thinking about it anyways, let's talk formalwear accessories. Most of these are traditionally menswear but a bit of gender fuckery is good for the soul, and frankly most of these are about making your mass-produced clothing fit and lay properly without having to go to the tailor.

Shirt stays: these go around your thighs to hold your shirt down, so that it stays smooth and tucked in. They're usually elastic, with 1-3 clips, and if you wear skirts frequently this is a GREAT way to make sure your top doesn't ride up. The clips will be visible if you're wearing something tight, so loose pants or skirts are where these do best. There's also an insane version that clips to your socks, but that is for lunatics. If you wanted, you could also use one of these clips to hold up thigh-highs.

These do a great job of smoothing and narrowing the waist area by keeping your shirt from bunching there.

Sleeve garters: usually metal, leather, elastic, or silk. These are usually worn with button-down shirts to adjust where your cuff falls on the wrist or hand. They're properly worn on the upper arm, and you pull the fabric of the sleeve above the garter until you cuff is where you want it. Because this creates a puff of sleeve at the bicep, it also broadens the appearance of the shoulders. It's great if you're working with your hands or if your sleeves are often too long for your preference.

Waistband clip or belt adjustment clip/buttons

Three different ways of tightening the waistband of a pair of pants or a skirt. You're not going to get more than an inch or so tighter without weird bunching, and for most of these you'd want them to be hidden under a shirt or jacket, but they do the job if that's something you're having issues with.

Collar pins: There are so many fun ones out there, both with and without chains. They're not terribly practical, though the slight weight may help keep your collar where you want it. Also consider collar tips, which pin (surprise) to the very tips of your collar points.

Sweater clips/guards: meant to hold your sweater or cardigan mostly closed. Great if your cardigan doesn't button, or if you don't like it to be buttoned all the way.

There's tons of other stuff out there like this--etsy is a great place to find this stuff. A lot of these are old solutions to the very modern problem of mass-maufactured clothes not being as one-size-fits-all as advertised, but they're also a fun way to put a bit of personality into businesswear.

In the US, children (of any age) can be arrested and imprisoned without trial, and kept indefinitely. Children have been imprisoned for hitting a classmate, being too loud, and just existing as a black child.

Children still have no rights in juvenile detention, and the staff treats them however they please.

A child was arrested for pushing a classmate. After he was placed in a cell, he wouldn't leave, because he was in shock. The staff didn't like how slow he was being, and put him in solitary confinement on his very first morning there. He was in solitary confinement for over 4 months, and developed psychosis.

He still has psychosis as an adult, and treats it by self medicating, because our healthcare system doesn't provide him with treatment.

Similar things happen to many, many children.

I cant believe this tweet is how I find out

Edit: Now that we're talking about it, look. There is all the countries ratification dates, along with considerations for their laws.

And you can check the convention here.

Edit 2: For those in the US who want to check their state's laws compliance to the convention, there is this site.

Edit 3: The map source btw. Its from wikipedia.

Thank you people in the notes for the info and image desc.

Not "It's a product of it's time" as a way to excuse its problematic undertones but rather "it's a product of it's time" to say that the issues it tackles were relevant then and its stances that now seem milquetoast were radical then, and that heavy handed, cheesy driving home of those viewpoints was sometimes necessary, and our acceptance and normalization of those viewpoints is in large part because of media like it normalizing those viewpoints and imagery, and watching it in the modern day turns into a loving study of history of the masses and public opinion

Yes this is about the original star trek

being in my 20s and not radicalized (on tumblr) means that i'm afraid of most people my age, but can't really get close to people older than me because they bash on my age group all day

yeah, just keep generalizing about an entire group of people. i'm sure it's not hurtful and applies to everyone within that age group. alienating an entire group is also totally helpful for de-radicalizating them, i swear. (sarcasm)

#wow i wonder how gen z ended up like this...🤔#they *do* just exist in a bubble and turned violent all on their own from some kind of inherent evil in their soul or something (sarcasm)#they didn't learn any of this from older generations.. no waaaayyy (sarcasm)#there's no way they became easy to radicalize from lack of community and support.. i'm sure alienating them more will help. keep it up (sar #casm)#vent #if you treated your little siblings/nieces/nephews like shit.. don't be surprised when they end up having some massive issues as an adult #duh?#like it's not entirely millenials' or gen x's fault but GOD did they contribute #and then act all innocent when their kids or younger family members have massive issues as adults #in my experience.. people join cults to make up for a lack of support in their life #if older generations didn't support the younger generation they are partially at fault #also shut up about gen alpha most of them aren't even 10 yet #how low can you stoop?#hating children when the are *literally* still babies
