to all the people who may be coming back here from twitter in light of elon’s purchase:
MOTHER’S DAY (2016) dir. Garry Marshall
Ah, Mother’s Day. I love being a mother. But what about the other 364 days of the year? When you’re trying to get your kid to school and you’re surviving on very little sleep because you’re up all night sewing costumes for the school play and you’ve still got to go to work in the morning. It’s about the never-ending driving to soccer, gymnastics, or ballet. It’s about getting your kids to look up from their computer or iPad or iPod or iPhone or whatever “I” they’re looking at.
also people act like drag queens are incapable of changing how they act for kids. like do you really think things like storytime with drag queens has like, sex jokes and dildos? do you think drag artists are unable to treat children appropriately while in drag? like drag doesn't always need to be safe for kids obviously but just because a drag artist does a sexual show for adults doesn't mean that artist can't also be kid-friendly during times they are around kids. drag artists are not some scary boogeyman that's gonna traumatize your children by their sheer Aura of Queerness
Honestly when you think about it this extends to everyone in childcare.
Do you assume that every single teacher, daycare worker, babysitter, etc. is a perfectly pure, cartoonishly kid-friendly person all of the time? No. They’re adult human beings who cuss and drink and have sex like everyone else. But they know how to act around children, even if they act differently around their friends and partners and other situations that don’t involve children. Nobody acts just one way all the time in any scenario, including drag queens.
