Was that last one real?
Gender abolitionists have an odd habit of speaking as though gender has already been definitively abolished, when in actuality, it is a concept that will absolutely persist for centuries minimum. Dismantling the chokehold that gender has on global society is a task that is going to take approximately forever. Doesn't mean we shouldn't try, obviously, even if meagre results will be far off, but that's my problem. A lot of them DON'T try beyond a personal level. They think because they've declared themselves as genderfuck, gender is over, and everyone who doesn't conform to their ideals is stupid for "playing along"
This manifests most prominently when they discuss gender with a trans woman. She'll be judged for "daring" to try and pass -- putting makeup on and shaving is playing into the silliness of femininity and gender as a whole, when the girl's just trying to feel comfortable in her own skin and/or decrease harassment received for existing as a visible trans woman. It'll be implied or outright stated to her face that she should put down the skirts, razors, hormones and even any "feminine" recreational shit she enjoys (like nail art or wtvs) even if inaction is driving her to suicide because otherwise, she's actively supporting for a return to a world with gender (even though there is nothing to return to, we still very very very much live in it. Deeply strange phenomenon.
Very much giving "you claim to hate society yet you participate in it. curious!" like yeah wow a lot of people who are actively harmed in a cruel society are going to want to conform to avoid further hurt. abolition starts with recognising the world we live in, which is one nowhere NEAR close to giving up the concept of gender and the immense harm it causes. Leave trans women who are just trying to survive and find peace with their bodies alone. Genuinely glad for you if you've found peace yourself living a life free of ties or hangups to gender, but you have no right to try and enforce that same shit on others, especially not other trans people

The US is crazy bc like so many people have intense conspiracy theories about the government like "I think there's a secret elite group of people who control everything" and you can tell them "actually you're not completely wrong, it's just not a secret group of people, it's a bunch of rich people and lobbyists who are doing it all out in the open" and they'll be like "hmmn I don't think it's THOSE people though. I prefer my racist & antisemitic theories"
They'll be like "I heard there's a powerful ring of pedophiles who are influencing the country" and you'll tell them "I mean yeah that's what the Epstein files are about" and they'll say "no I'm pretty sure this has to do with The Queers actually"
Conspiracy theory no one will ever accept: What if the people secretly controlling the world are the same people obviously controlling the world?

NOT TO BRAG OR ANYTHING BUT JOHN FUCKING DARNIELLE MR. THE MOUNTAIN GOATS HIMSELF JUST SHARED THIS ON BSKY AND SAID IT WAS GREAT AND LOVELY WORK. WHAT IF I DIED
One of my brothers has this thing where he likes to be included on sibling movie night but he will not sit down or actually join us, heāll just wander around the house and periodically show up to lurk in the doorway or lean on someoneās seat
And *I* have this thing where I always always know when heās there, because every time heās not wandering around like the ghost of bob marley and isnāt immediately visible itās because heās stopped moving to watch the film from directly behind me, which makes the back of my neck tingle like a dog sensing an earthquake
Which has on more than one occasion resulted in me interrupting the movie to tell him to just sit the fuck down and stop lurking in the shadows, Jesus Christ, itās like Iām being haunted by the memory of ancient sins
Which has in turn been shortened to just āancient sinsā, every time I feel him doing it again
So to summarize, sometimes when my siblings and I get together for a movie night, weāll all be sitting in the dark in complete silence until my ass deadpan announces āancient sinsā and a 90 pound 5ā11ā Slenderman looking motherfucker emerges from the shadows behind me like a jumpscare incarnate in Batman pajamas pants and informs me that we are out of orange soda
I fucked up a little bit

As someone who ran track and cross country for 4 years in high school, this always fucking mystified me the most out of all the insane shit PE had us do.
Track and field club taught all new runners how to properly warm up, stretch, pace, etc. Its a process, and doing it properly takes 15-20 minutes to make sure your body is ready so you dont hurt yourself.
PE didnt do jack shit, they just said "go run a mile" so 70% of the fucking kids sprinted flat out the first lap and basically walked the other 3. Multiple people did it in boots or tennis shoes. I'm amazed more of them didnt pull a muscle or worse in the process.
I dont know what the purpose of PE was, but it sure as shit wasnt proper exercise. And I think a lot of people suffered for that. If they spent the time teaching us about the importance of physical health, proper nutrition, how to safely stretch/exercise, etc, we would all be better off now.
Let's be real, PE exists to shame and torture the fat kids, and for pretty much no other reason.
*Insert that thing with all the people who dread gym*
this one?
the purpose of PE, as it currently exists in the American school system, is to prepare kids to join the military. that's not some sort of moral-panic hyperbole. that's...pretty explicitly the purpose.
most of the prominently nightmarish features of PE, such as running the mile or doing sit-ups, originate with the Presidential Fitness Test. This test, which president Eisenhower implemented in schools in 1956, was created after a different fitness test (the Kraus-Weber test) revealed that Americans were less fit than Europeans -- specifically the Swiss.
The difference between the Kraus-Weber test and the Presidential Fitness test is that the Presidential Fitness test was specifically designed to test military fitness. While the Kraus-Weber test measured total fitness by testing things like core strength and flexibility, the Presidential Fitness test doesn't really make much sense in the context of ordinary fitness -- only in the context of military fitness. Do you remember being tested on how far you could throw a softball? That test mimicked throwing grenades. And it's pretty easy to see why Eisenhower went this direction. In 1956, the Cold War was in full swing and WWII was barely in the rear-view mirror. There was a real possibility that we would be at war with parts of super-fit Europe in the near future. Eisenhower wanted the nation's children ready to fight in that war.
The main issue with the Presidential Fitness test is that, as pointed out above, it really doesn't teach kids how to stay fit or incorporate physical activity in their day-to-day lives. A soldier at war might need to run a mile with no warm-up, or perform a pull-up, but for the average middle-schooler? The tests were just kind of...pointless exercises in misery. You're only really good at the Presidential Fitness Test if you've been practicing the specific exercises tested. And what 12 year old child is doing pull-ups for fun and pleasure? So instead of inspiring America's children to train themselves into a super-fit army, it just humiliated kids who didn't perform well.
There's been a recent push for PE classes to focus more on life-long fitness (things like actually teaching kids to warm up, exposing them to different types of physical activity, etc). Unfortunately, the Presidential Fitness test has already done its damage. It continued to be used in schools until 2013. That's 60 years of teaching kids to associate physical activity with shame and dread. The idea of military PE classes is pretty much baked into our cultural memory, giving us all a background dread of physical activity. and guess what, eisinhower?? that's just going to make people less likely to be physically active!! Maybe if we're trying to emulate the fitness of the SWISS, we shouldn't have gone with MILITARY TRAINING FOR CHILDREN!!
anyways. take some comfort in the fact that nobody will ever judge you for your mile time again. and if they try, ask to see them run a mile. directly away from you.
fucked up onion my belothed
Linking the Maintenance Phase podcast about the Presidential Fitness Test now that the US president has decided to bring this thing back to haze a new generation of grade schoolers. I WAS athletic as a kid and I still hated this stuff! Nothing like having 30 other eight-year-olds stare at you as you fail to do a single pushup because you were never taught how to do one correctly.
Word on the street is scientists are using centrifuges to separate the virginity from the olive oil to create liquid virginity. The government is gonna use that to revirginize the entire United States.
