Basically I think a lot of White ppl think the antithesis to racism is "Black people are inherently Cool, White people are inherently Lame" and it's just very hard to convince them that this is also extremely racist lmfao
It's the combination of "seeing a racialized group as Fundamentally Inherently Good is still dehumanizing and you aren't seeing them as people" and "your self-flagellating White guilt is extremely annoying for the people of color around you to deal with"

Oncei figure out how to make fanedit music viseos on my android phone it's over for y'all
I haven't made a music video since 2008 but bloodymary demands something of me. Simon and Grace have the same mission from opposite directions and I need to Do Art about it. Unfortunately: lightweight film editing software on android is still confusing as hell. Apparently nobody's figured out how to recreate windows xp movie maker for my phone, so I've gotta get over myself and figure out VM.
SHAKING at Merlin all of a sudden revealing himself as having been a stealth twist villain this whole time.
i gotta be real with you guys im just sort of stunned tumblr has been running an open-front ZenDesk form for tumblr TOS reporting this whole time that doesnt require any kind of validation except a fucking email address. this one fact alone explains every single "why did so and so get banned for no reason" event of the past X years. however it is equally baffling that i didnt notice it before now. i would say it is baffling they implemented it in the first place but like i said, the management of their website is verifiably not well
ayyyyyy, shoutout to bunnings stocking a colour called “ace of spades” for giving me this idea
Parents: "children should be taught that actions have consequences"
Okay, let them stay up till 5 in the morning and feel like shit for the next day, eat a bag of candy in one go and have a huge stomach ache, go out without an umbrella and catch a cold, watch a violent movie and get scared?
Parents: "actually, we mean screaming and beating the crap out of them when they try to do these things"
this is the shit that my mom did to me and it actually worked
if you scribble on your toys with marker, you're gonna have scribbled toys, and they'll be ugly. if you break your toys on purpose, you wont get new ones. if you refuse to get dressed in the morning, then you'll be dragged to school in your pajamas. if you don't clean up your room, i wont come tuck you in.
it worked a hell of a lot better than being screamed at.
That's not better, actually.
Children should be allowed to draw on their stuff without it being considered ugly and break it without that being a reason to not buy them anything. Safe destructive actions are necessary for development. That's part of what toys are for.
And nobody should be dragged to school, period.
What you're talking about aren't consequences, it's still punishments created by adults.
To a child, consequences are the direct results of a child's actions.
Anything that involves "because I did that, my parents did this" is now a consequence of the parent's actions. Negative consequences of parent's actions designed to coerce obedience are punishments.
These are the necessary definitions you need to understand before entering this conversation, so that you can understand why your parents' actions here are being described as punishment.
There are appropriate ages for a child to develop a complex understanding of others' thoughts and begin grasping that they can "cause" others to act in particular ways by impacting others' internal thoughts (not just by completing an input-output pattern). And there are safe ways to encourage developing that type of meta cognition.
Neglecting your young child's need for ritual and affection before the difficult task of being in a dark space alone with no way out is neither age appropriate nor safely encouraging development.
If a child is young enough that they need the emotional support of rituals like being tucked in, they are also young enough that their understanding of others' thoughts is limited. That's the developmental stage they are in. So, all they are learning is a pattern. They are learning, "my safety network is contingent on obedience to rules no one has explained to me or allowed me to explore. If I want the output of safety, only the input of obedience is accepted."
That is a punishment. It is a coercion to obedience caused by applying negative stresses on a child.
You can understand what your mother was trying to do now, thanks to your more complete social and neurological development. But you literally could not understand it then. All she was doing was hurting you in a way that made you obey.
And the reality is that when you hurt a child to make them obey you, when you equate safety to obedience? You equate safety to abuse, and it sets that child up for a lifetime of horrors that I sincerely hope you have been fortunate enough to avoid.
Yep. My parents called grounding me 'natural consequences of your actions.' Not being allowed to watch tv and having extra chores for a month wasn't as damaging as a lot of the shit I've seen others go through, certainly. But it did mess up my ability to predict the outcome of my decisions and actions.
I've lost a lot of opportunities while I waffled over whether or not doing something would come with nebulous 'natural consequences.' I still flinch at opportunities, despite being a grown ass man in my 40s, because I assume the worst.
This is a large part of why I am uncomfortable talking to people who have kids. I see the pattern of disdain and condescension that otherwise kind and empathetic people fall into when they're dealing with their children. When I've gently suggested that they show their struggling child somw grace, they laugh as if I've suggested they give the kid a handgun. They say "if my kid ever x they'd be packing their bags," then turn around and say they can't fathom why my parents didn't take me in when I was homeless at 20. The cognitive dissonance is staggering.
What goes up must come down; that's natural consequences. Grabbing something out of the air, throwing it to the ground and stomping on it isn't nature; it's violence.
PJACKK CAME BACK FROM THE DEAD!?!?

@staff stop terming my friends. Why are you letting nazis thrive and terminating trans girls fifty times in a row
They reinstated Pjackk, a blog that's been abandoned for over a year before getting terminated, but none of the trans women who were termed for posting selfies and talking about their days
damn happy pride huh
