You know sometimes, as it’s in the brain’s nature to question itself, I become forgetful or sometimes even doubtful of whether schools really do still represent the factory-model education system. And then I remember how going through school has made me think and feel about myself productivity speaking and I’m like oh no yeah this fucking sucks

Like it’s literally this

The next time you've got a friend over, set an example and put your phone on the table, visibly there but not too far away, to let them know that you're intentionally present, not distracted, your attention is undivided and you want to be fully focused on being right there to spend time with them. Don't mention it or draw attention to this, you're not doing this to be preachy or wanting praise, you just want to be a good friend and you value your friend's time. Ideally, your friend will either notice this or even pick it up without conscious notice, and set their own phone aside on the table as well.

Then, when your friend takes a minute to go to the bathroom, grab your phone and take a photo of your friend's phone sitting on your table. Do not touch it, and put your own phone back exactly where it was immediately once you've got the picture. Carry on with whatever you two were doing.

Once your time is up and your friend has left for home, wait for a good 15 minutes or so, for them to either get back home or be well on their way there. Text your friend, "hey, you forgot your phone", and send them the photo you took of their phone on your table. Set a stopwatch running from the moment your friend sees the message.

Measure how many seconds it takes for your friend to process this and tell you to go fuck yourself.

Me convincing myself to use the powerful but limited consumables in RPGs

Never ever ever ration fancy cheese or delicious fruit because it was "expensive". It will go bad before you even eat half of it and you will have denied yourself pleasure at your own expense!!

Also goes for lots of craft supplies. Glues, resins, cute stickers, washi tapes, caulk, basically anything with an adhesive or anything that changes properties when exposed to something else (air, light, chemical catalyst). You gotta use them! Enjoy them! Even if you don't have the "perfect" project to use your supply to its greatest potential, don't hold yourself back.

Creating art isn't something that can ever be perfected so that "perfect" project may never materialize. But what you can make right now will give you experience to elevate your skills and make you more satisfied with your future work. So don't be reserved!!

the elephant in the room when it comes to the “we must protect our children” objections by conservative politicians is that they are not referring to living, breathing children, but a platonic concept of “a child” that children are coerced into emulating through abuse kneaded by both the state and their parents. The lack of rights children possess is to render them unable to object to what adults claim to do for their own good, which oftentimes are merely just means to maintain them as property than help them as people. The idea that teaching 6th graders very basic, very clinical sex ed is child abuse stems from the fear that their parents lose some control over their child’s autonomy by having the child know things (which, statically, also makes them more likely to tell someone when they are being abused by an adult. Interesting) that the parent has not sanctioned as a part of their person. Conservatives accuse everyone else of child abuse not because they care that a child is being hurt, but because hurting children is only their god given right.

one big aspect of the christian homeschooling movement has been a focus on ‘parental rights,’ which, more often than not, are used to hide hideous abuse/reduce parental accountability. to the point a bunch of survivors had to band together to try and stop it.

for first-person accounts of this phenomenon, i recommend the podcast ‘kitchen table cult.’

the Citations Needed podcast recently published an episode titled “How the ‘Parental Rights’ Rallying Cry Has Been a Right-wing Stalking Horse for Over 100 Years” featuring guest Jennifer Berkshire (February 8, 2023), which brings child labor into the picture of “parents’ rights” discourse. the involvement of child labor was news to me! transcript at link.
