The Curbside Prophet

My name is Alyssa Mae.

I am a mid-twenties avid intersectional feminist, advocate, fighter, counselor, and friend. I will be graduating from Bucknell University in May with degrees in Psychology and Women’s & Gender Studies. I work with survivors of sexual assault and other trauma, and I fix computers for a living.

I often blog about what it is like to live at the intersections of a few different mental illnesses, queerness, and sexuality, along with posts about sexism, racism, rape culture, and LGBT rights. There is a trigger warning for these on my entire blog. You will see posts about depression, eating disorders, PTSD, panic disorder, and fat activism. This has been my safe space for four years now, and I reserve the right to ask you to leave it if necessary.

Welcome to my life.

He’s setting up his (first-year) son’s email account so it forwards his Bucknell mail to his personal GMail account so he can read the email on his phone.

…that doesn’t make any sense.

Of course I can walk you through how to do that, but it’s STUPID. 

Also, you don’t have to be an asshole about it. 

Also, you can let your son do things for himself. I’m sure he’s a remotely competent individual (he hasn’t yet proven otherwise), and he wants to read email on his phone so I’m sure he can figure out how to make a phone call. 

Goddamn. I hate helicopter parents.
