the “gifted” system really fucks people up & despite what the number of people bitching about being Ex Gifted Kids might make you think, the people it hurts aren’t just (or even mostly) the ones who are considered gifted. it’s a system that justifies unequal distribution of resources like.

1. dividing kids up like that deliberately makes things harder for struggling students. if you’re already performing well, you get even more advantages. you get better books, better teachers, quieter environments, smaller class sizes, & more positive reinforcement. if you’re already struggling you get the opposite: less support, more apathetic teachers, & less incentive to try or improve. & it doesn’t address WHY any student might struggle.

& 2. it often is thinly veiled cover for racism, allowing white kids to access the benefits of the program at the expense of their classmates of color as this post’s reblog talks about. students of color can be just as or more gifted than their white counterparts & still the program denies them basic resources to succeed!!!!! the gifted system is plague on our already-broken school system & its very nature is creating artificial, unfair divisions among learners

Hey. LIVING COSTS MONEY! How about giving more money to the companies that employ me and MAYBE I MIGHT BE OK

This is such a funny thing to me because in Thai culture, it’s completely normal to live with your parents when you’re an adult. In fact, most people live in their family home until they’re married ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Saaaame in Pakistan dude and being abroad for grad school is really fucking me up I am not built to be even slightly independent 😂

[beatrice-otter]

In Western culture (including America!) it was completely normal for people to live with their parents in adulthood–sometimes until they married, sometimes longer.  In America, that changed (for men) in the 1940s and 50s, when it was really really easy for an 18 year old to get a good job that paid more than enough to live a comfortable life on, or to afford college which would then practically guarantee you an even better-paying job.  Women joined the trend of moving out at 18 in the 1960s and 70s.

And now those jobs don’t exist, or are few and far between, and guess what!  People are living with their parents again.  But that 70-year span was just long enough that it fell out of common memory, and now people are seen as “failures” because the economics have changed.

A very great deal of Western culture, ESPECIALLY America, is actually still based on a memory of the 40′s and 50′s as the baseline of normalcy despite them being a total fluke at the time. World War II and McCarthyism created a massive shift towards rabid patriotism, Christian fundamentalism and the ideal of the “nuclear family” that resembled nothing before it and we’re still recovering from as the majority of our most powerful politicians are old enough that this period of sudden fanaticism is their “nostalgic good old days” and the way they think things are “supposed to be.”

no offence but i truly hate graphic sex scenes in tv shows / movies like what’s the point it’s just awkward to watch let’s move on w the plot instead of having to listen to breathing, wet lip sounds, and fake moans for what seems like forever
