The biggest bullshit with Adultism is basically that the people will defend it with: "Well, if we did not force X on kids, kids would not do it, because they hate X."

And then you actually look onto the research.

Kids do not generally hate learning or school. Quite the opposite. Children tend to enjoy learning and are naturally curious. It is exactly the fact that they are forced into school and into the rigid structure of it that often punishes curiosity but also is hostile towards the differences inherent in people, that kids hate it.

Kids do not naturally hate medical care. While medical care is scary at times, the fear usually comes from medical care scenarios being defined by adults overriding a child's agency, not explaining things to him, and otherwise being abusive, that makes children afraid of medical procedures. Additionally the way a lot of medical procedures go hand in hand with denying a child's reality ("Look, it is not that bad") tends to be traumatizing to children.

There have been studies done in this. If you explain a child - even a toddler - what you do and why, children will generally be a lot more okay with stuff like needles and simple procedures, and will even agree to necessary surgical interventions.

If you create a learning environment that allows more for self-directed learning, and involves less specific testing, most kids actually will enjoy learning.

The way kids hate school, and are afraid of doctors is the result of those interactions being associated with violence and coercion. The hatred is because of the coercion, rather than the hatred making the coercion necessary.

me: yeah so a few years ago someone invented infinite scrolling and really it was a terrible idea

the elf I just hooked up with, taking the lavender and honeysuckle lollipop from their mouth: An infinite scroll... most elfmaidens learn to enchant a scroll to never end before they're a mere 300 years old. It saves on paper.

me: oh see that's just writing, with social media it's really bad, it just leads to people doomscrolling all day

the elf I just hooked up with, spluttering and panicked: The Doomscroll! Be silent human, thou shoulds't not speak the name of that fell parchment

me: oh so you get it

“There aren’t enough hours in a day.” There are actually. The problem is that we think 40 hour work weeks are an unavoidable fact of life.

The problem is that everyone has to work 8 hours, pretty much no exceptions, and with getting ready time + (unpaid) lunch + commute, “8 hours” is actually anywhere between 9 and 12, every single day, with more work to do when you get home because our society and culture was built around having one member of the household home full time and nothing has changed now that almost everyone works.

No wonder Americans are reliant on DoorDash and fast food, there’s no time or energy to cook. No one wonder mental and physical health are in shambles, many just spent all day sitting in fluorescent lights with little to no stimulation. “Just wake up earlier” “Just meal prep”… these are ok short-term, individual solutions, but the broader, systemic issue is obvious. We aren’t built for this. There’s no work-life balance. Genuinely, I think if our culture could normalize a shorter work week, many individuals’ biggest problems would simply evaporate.

actually hey pull over there's a gas station in this town where a guy named Tongue Eater will make you the best turkey sandwich you ever have had. he's really nice and he loves to put turkey into the deli slicer and listen to milk rhythms.

you never heard of milk rhythms? milk rhythms is a type of music that's supposed to make you lactate. it doesn't work but that's the idea behind it. Tongue Eater says he just likes how it sounds though.

he used to be in a band back when i knew him but i'm not sure if it's still going on because i heard the bassist get turned vegan and couldn't abide tongue eater's powerful turkey stench. they were called "curd smack". it wasnt exactly milk rhythms though but you could heard the influence.

but yeah Grackle (that the bassist) got turned vegan. kinda a bummer. nothing against vegans it's just Grackle got turned against her will. she had been seeing a hypnotist for sleep reasons but it turned out she couldnt pay so the hypnotist turned her vegan as revenge. He knew it would drive a wedge between Grackle and Tongue Eater.

anyway if you want the sandwich i'm buying. Tongue Eater gives me a discount bc i helped him out once with a paper he was working on on symmetry groups. We were in the same crystallography program in grad school. did i not mention that? well that's how I know him.

it's a good sandwich. cranberry relish, mustard, the works. And i know what you're thinking; don't worry. He's not gonna eat your tongue lol. He doesn't do that anymore. Not without permission
