Not to sound like a 12 year old who got their xbox taken but parents in the u.s. are such narcissists with their kids and at some point we gotta acknowledge that an integral part of child welfare is abolishing some “parental rights” that are in complete opposition to the autonomy and health of the child like some parents are out here opposing bans on conversion therapy because they want the right to mentally abuse their children. Perish and die.

[pure]

Eliminating parental rights to coercively impose their values on children while allowing parents the opportunity to express their values through persuasion and by setting examples that their children will want to emulate would enable parent–child relationships based on greater respect for each parties’ equal dignity. A majority of European countries have either prohibited corporal “punishment” of children by parents, or committed to eliminate it, as have some Latin American countries, and Sweden has had a ban on corporal “punishment” of children by parents for over thirty years.

Just as marriage survived the introduction of domestic violence laws (over the objection of patriarchal fears for the preservation of marriage), there is no reason to equate greatly curtailing parental power with ending the family. The elements of parent-child relationships founded on mutual consent that provide care, enjoyment, support, and love would remain intact. Requiring parents to negotiate with and persuade their children rather than commanding obedience backed by an implied or express threat of state sanctioned violence is likely to encourage mutual understanding and appreciation. Children and parents may have closer relationships in a legal regime that respects children as persons, not property or extensions of their parents’ interests.

It’s also pretty fucking disturbing that by many states’ laws, teachers in the US are required to bend to the parents’ will on a number of issues—since the public’s view and most education policies center around the idea that teachers are babysitters acting in the place of the parents (the term is “in loco parentis”). If someone’s mother or father makes a big enough stink about anything, the teacher(s) and administrators will yield

If they truly believe that their precious baby could be “corrupted” or “indoctrinated” by taking a Women’s History, World Religions or Evolutionary Biology class, the kid’s not going there—no matter how interested or qualified they are to go there. If the parents don’t think their kid “needs” the services being offered by the Special Education teacher, an administrator and the kid’s regular teachers during an IEP (Individualized Educational Plan) meeting held to improve their life skills and get them caught-up with everyone else, then those aides, help sessions and/or testing accommodations don’t happen. If a student just plain comes-out to me, I’m not allowed to address them by their preferred name and I have to report to their parents on what they’re doing, if that’s what Mom and Dad really want

Principals, the Superintendent and the School Board Chair don’t want to go through lawsuit after lawsuit and appeal after appeal—using school and/or district funds—to fight Mr. Super-Christian™ Homophobe and his wife, Mrs. Xenophobe AutismSpeaks Anti-Vaxxer and will cave to them even if it means direct and terrible harm for the kid

IF YOU ARE NOT UNCOMFORTABLE WITH AMERICA “ROUNDING UP” PEOPLE YOU ARE PART OF A VERY LARGE PROBLEM

[mamacowpeach-deactivated2018032]

Um this is essentially what Andrew Jackson did and you know what we call that?? The Trail of Tears

[tortoistor]

movie tropes that will never get old to me:

a thing happens + two people exchanging money in the back

fourth wall breaking

“give up all your weapons” and that one guy that spends the entire evening taking his weights worth out his pockets

*a terribly loud crash* meowing/ car sirens heard offscreen

alternatively: a terribly loud crash and one of the characters going “oops” in the most casual voice

“fuck you” “well if you insist”

[nerdgasrnz]

#alternatively alternatively: *terribly loud crash w/ sirens and cat screeching*#person: *off camera* ‘I’M OKAY’ (via @zenlida)

[count-di-luna]

character being all “you expect me to do X?” Gilligan Cut to character doing X

[susiephone]

the squad gets captured and interrogated separately, and they’re all telling equally terrible, completely contradictory lies

people completely missing the completely unsubtle, very visible dangerous thing in the room with them

alternatively, people absolutely seeing the completely unsubtle, very visible dangerous thing in the room with them and just not giving a shit

bonus points if it’s a beleaguered minimum wage employee who just goes about their business like “yep same shit as always”

someone pretending they don’t know another character is eavesdropping, only to casually reveal at the end of the scene that they know (*leaving* “tell tom that he can come out now” *tom drops from the ceiling in spy gear, irritated*)

choosing to deal with the villain by just leaving them alone in a room with another character

the “hands go down” trope

example: “any questions?” *everyone’s hands go up* “…that AREN’T sarcastic?” *everyone’s hands go down*

[neonprotagonist]

how could all y'all forget “ACT NATURAL!”

[beradan]

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

These are all great but let’s not forget two characters giving extremely biased flashbacks to the same event that each paint the other as an incompetent loon

[stunt-muppet]

i would like to respectfully add: scenes where a character walks into a room, sees something scary, and turns around and walks out with no reaction or change of expression

[rowdyholtzy]

Where’s the goofy teen comedy where the popular girl gives the shy girl a makeover she can Get The Guy™, only to realize that she’s actually falling in love with her and then they have the classic Arguing In The Rain scene because the popular girl is sad that the shy girl went on a date with The Guy so she angrily confesses her feelings and then they kiss and it’s all the feels?

i want realistic modern fantasy like

someone finding a dragon egg and livetweeting the process of trying to hatch it (with no prior knowledge on how a dragon egg should be hatched)

a guy selling an enchanted sword on craigslist

a tattoo artist who does spell runes but for really mundane stuff like conjuring a bound demonic pen or for summoning your keys

summoning a demon for the vine

selfies with mermaids

prank calling wizards

[zhanael]

Omg yes.

News about cops breaking up a djinn-trafficking ring. Changelings leading the front of a pride parade. An ad looking for a new IT wizard because the current one wants to retire. Local zoo throwing a special event because they just acquired a breeding pair of unicorns. Hedge witch bartender tells you to come to the bar in the morning ‘cause he makes a hangover cure that actually works (patent pending). An imp loose in the neighborhood has been stealing cell phone chargers (and only the chargers). A druid leatherworker makes Gucci knock offs that are both really good looking and insanely durable. Teenage dryad goes around the neighborhood offering to mow lawns, or make them grow lush and thick if they’ve got bald spots. Yuki-onna ice cream shop: freaking delicious, but the ‘sorrow’ flavor will literally make you cry. Incubi on Grindr. Death itself waiting on a subway platform: Twitter and Instagram blow up. Clumsy young dragon flies into the oncoming traffic air lane and crashes into an angel. Traffic cops struggle to keep straight faces while getting the statements. A merrow employee gives guided tours at the Aquarium from the far side of the glass. Enterprising dragon has begun making glass and marketing it to the going green crowd. Little old lady tells her grandchildren about the time in her youth when she dated the prince of Atlantis. Celebrity gossip magazines seem convinced that British royalty are entangled in a polyamorous relationship with the Fae ambassador’s siblings. Young girl at her first AA meeting gets tips and support from a vampire who got way too obsessed with beer a few years ago. Raijin works at the power plant, flinging lightning into capacitors. He finds it boring. Wizard uses magic to sort recyclables at the waste plant, and will talk your ear off about reducing waste if you give her a chance.

Nobody ever called Han a coward or a traitor for wanting to leave the Resistance on two separate times. Nobody calls Rey a coward or a traitor in TFA for wanting to run away. Nobody calls Luke a coward or a traitor for running away for almost a decade. So if you are out there excusing Finn, a fucking child soldier who was brainwashed to be a soldier, being called a traitor or a coward for not jumping at the opportunity of being a soldier and a pawn for the Resistance, fuck you.
