People who don’t understand the difference between punishment and discipline should, like, never have kids

[clown-butch-deactivated20240919]

hey op i dont understand the difference could you please explain?

[cult-hopper]

Yeah ofc!! Sorry for being vague I was just venting and didnt expect reblogs haha

I’m gonna try to explain my point through examples.

Ex 1: toddler screaming and crying in the walmart

Punishment: I’m going to spank you or embarrass you or yell at you! Shut up! I’ll give you something to cry about!

Discipline: stop doing what you’re doing because it isn’t productive and it disturbs others as well as increasing your own upsetnes. I’m going to take you out of the environment that’s upsetting you until you’re calm and we can identify what upset you together so I can explain to you why it’s like that/help you find ways to productively express upsetness as you grow.

Ex 2: your teen is failing, like, all their classes

Punishment: you’re grounded! You’re not allowed to go out with your friends or play games or do anything fun or enjoyable until your work is satisfactory!

Discipline: it’s important to do well in school. You need to communicate with me when you are struggling so I can help you. You also need to learn to manage fun stuff and work as that’s an important life skill in adulthood. I’m going to monitor your work more closely so I can help you find that balance. And if this is a deeper mental or emotional issue, we can seek help for you together.

So basically, discipline is something you teach that requires time, communication, and sternness. Punishment is a single action meant to deliberately cause discomfort in an attempt to implement negative reinforcement. Not good.

Jewish people: Never Again means now Jewish people: When we say Never Again we don’t mean just us Jewish people: This is the same exact way this started for us last time Jewish people: We’re being arrested for trying to do something and they aren’t letting people know what’s happening or how many have died Jewish people: These are concentration camps, start calling them that. Goy, repeatedly: Uhhh, calling them that diminishes the suffering of The Jews, so you shouldn’t make those comparisons!!

Goy can (and should) reblog but don’t comment.

[chrom3wolf]

*chuckles* "goy" (btw a goy is basically a muggle in Judaism...or more simply...a non-Jew for those of you who don't know)

Also may I ask if this is related to something that is politically happening modernly or historically??

I'm of the Jewish/Hebrew community but I'm not quite sure what this is getting at

[goingfeo-deactivated20190621]

y’know what fuck it im gonna make this it’s own post bc i’m so damn tired… if a poc talks about a nonwhite experience, you have absolutely no business commenting on it if you’re white, even if its just to say “im white but i agree.” like… okay… you should. do you want a medal?

if you want to actually be an ally, just listen to us. spread our voices if you’d like to. that by itself is very good! but don’t add your voice into our discussion. we don’t need your approval or reassurace that white people agree with us. your input doesn’t matter, we don’t want it, and we don’t need it. the fact that i have to spell this out for you like a goddamn kindergarden teacher shows how little you actually care.

and yes, whites can reblog this, but do NOT reply to this post in any way unless you wanna look like a jackass without basic reading comprehension. thanks.

being trans and stealth (as in, very few people irl knowing you are trans) is a very specific experience, and while it comes with a lot of material advantage, most of all for trans men, it is also a very lonely experience, and one people should approach with more empathy.

like, i do not mention to people that i am trans, almost never. i go to great lengths to avoid mentioning it. i’m not ashamed of being trans, it’s just not a relevant information to share. i don’t talk about trans issues irl. i live with people who do not know i am trans, i fuck people who do not know i am trans, i have deep friendships with people who do not know i am trans.

for a lot of people, being stealth is not a possibility ; however, in all cases, it also comes with a great level of danger. in many cases, the more you look like a cis person, the more violent people get when they find out you’re trans. it is a very lonely experience in many ways, most of all because being stealth means you can’t connect with other stealth trans people, since you’re never gonna mention it to each other. cis people can absolutley not wrap their head around the fact that people like you can exist, and say a lot of fucked up stuff in your presence.

i just wish people could include stealth trans people in their analysis, acknowledge that there are poor stealth trans people, stealth trans people of color, gay and bi stealth trans people (which is another bag of worms entirely), young and old stealth trans people, that anyone could be a stealth trans person, and that it does come with specific challenges other people might never understand.

Doves are just pigeons with white privilege

Also can we talk about how STUNNING their irredentist feathers are?

[tawghasa]

This post made me finally look up whether Australian crested pigeons are also doves, and I didn’t quite understand the wiki page but I think the answer is ‘yes’.

This is my son, Chester, who is nearly 4. He was invited to his friend Chloe’s birthday party today, the theme was prince and princesses. He asked if he could go as Sleeping Beauty, so I bought him a dress and put a cute little clip in his hair.

We arrived at the party to the following comments from the adults present: “Oh that is just cruel.”

“Why did you make him wear a dress?”

“Poor little man, what’s your mummy playing at?”

“He’s going to hate you when he grows up.”

“No way I’d let my son dress like a girl.”

The fact is, Chester is almost completely gender neutral. I let him wear what he wants, be it boys or girls clothes, and he plays with whatever toys he likes. This usually involves him holding tea parties while wearing his pink Minnie Mouse top, jeans and a tiara. The guests are more often than not a mixture of Winnie The Pooh characters, dinosaurs, Barbie, Dora and solders, and they’re usually transported in his favorite fire engine.

When my husband arrived at the party later on, he was subjected to endless ridicule from the other dad’s present about how I must keep his balls in my back pocket because otherwise he would have put his foot down and not allowed Chester out like that. Oh, and by the way, our other son dressed as Ariel. When my husband pointed out that the boys were happy, and the mother of the birthday child made a point of saying how wonderful she thought it was that we allowed them freedom of choice and expression, they then stopped talking about it to our faces and started muttering about us behind our backs.

Interestingly enough, not a single child said a word about their choice of costumes, other than to compliment Chester on his new dress.

I couldn’t hit the like button on this post hard enough. When I was young, my father used to threaten me (when I was not being ‘manly’ enough) with ‘wearing a dress that he kept in the trunk of the car’. I realize now that he was a raging homophobe/transphobe - because i didn’t have any problem with wearing a dress. I was cut deeply by his trying to *SHAME* me with it. 

I have heard every single phrase the adults were saying. “how cruel” or “dress like a girl”, and I have felt the hurt they were meant to make me feel.

Tiny human, you wear whatever strikes your fancy. I for one am cheering you on. :)

Toni Morrison, a Nobel Laurete, an icon of the literary world, and an elder in the womanisn movement has died at the age of 88. Born Chloe Ardelia Wofford, Morrison was an unfailing leader in the push for Black women narratives and wrote such classics as Song of Solomon, Sula, and Beloved, the latter of which earned her a Pulitzer Prize. Much can be said about the transformative power of her works, but I’d rather leave you with her own words right now:

“You can’t fly with regrets of yesterdays on your wings.

You can’t fly if you’re still in love with that ex that’s bad for you. Give that shit up!

You can’t fly if you’re afraid of standing up and taking power. Give that shit up!

You can’t fly if you’re spending the time you should be using to fly on other less important things. Give that shit up!

Focus on flying, if you wanna to fly. Because if you really wanna fly, nothing should be able to stop you. And if you’re not flying, realize something is. And lose that shit!”

Rest in Power, Toni Morrison. Thank you for the gift of your words and the beauty of your life.

[teaboot]

Natives had corn before us. U gonna be a white supremacist u gonna eat white food. Sheep guts and boiled bread my dudes

[harperhug]

Haggis is from Scotland. If we’re being fair with no immigrant food whatsoever, they can’t eat that either.

[vanshira]

We’re getting down to “if you hate immigrants you can’t eat” and I’m 100% okay with that

[xmagnet-o]

Even the white immigrants are stanning this post. Keep the solidarity going.

[patchworkheart-deactivated20200]

There are only two foods in America that were actually originally from here and not brought over from somewhere else (or stolen from native cultures)

Ballpark hot dogs

Peanut butter

That’s it

[sleepy-sleepy-ezra]

Peanut butter was invented by a black man. They can’t eat that either.

[aberrantemotion]

Actually hotdogs were created in Germany too.

So.
