good parents dont hit their children. good parents dont touch their children inappropriately. good parents dont scream at their children. good parents dont manipulate their children. good parents dont imprison their children at home. good parents dont threaten their children. good parents dont starve their children. good parents dont harass their children.

good parents do not abuse their children.

[all-da-fandoms]

in case you don’t know weather to reblog this:

[aninactivebloggfgfgf]

This makes me realize several uncomfortable things about my childhood.

[drakes-hoard]

Wait the screaming thing isn’t a normal thing?

[honey-sunny-bee]

Apparently not

[icecoldparadise]

Omg my poor babies, as a CHAD major let me lay it out for you.

Occasional “im human and im frustrated” yelling happens. Those are usually followed by apologies and genuine effort not to do that again.

But if your parent/guardian is always SCREAMING at you, especially as a way to control or make you feel inferior (insults, threats, things they know make you subdue and guilty) THIS IS EMOTIONAL ABUSE. if they are purposely contorting your emotions as a method to control that is abuse.

If someone hits, kicks, slaps, or beats you (not just a gentle nonsexual spank on the butt) THIS IS PHYSICAL ABUSE, ESPECIALLY IF IT LEAVES A BRUISE, CUT ABRAISION, ETC.

If adults are making you dance in a manner to be sexual, do sexual things, or watch sexual things inappropriate for your age THIS IS SEXUAL ABUSE. it is not always touching your/someone else’s private areas (which is ALSO abuse.)

If your parent or guardian is depriving you of things that are essential for life (food, water, shelter, weather appropriate clothes, hygiene, medical) and it is not just a “we are literally too broke to get these things but im really trying ” THIS IS NEGLECT AND IS ABUSE.

Talk to a teacher or trusted adult. Anyone in a human service setting (educators, administration, health, etc) especially those in a child/ adolescent arena are MANDATED REPORTERS: they MUST tell CPS there is a problem. If you are in immediate danger be explicit: they will call 911 to keep you safe.

This is SO fucking important please be safe my peeps.

[g3t-th1s]

wait so it isn’t normal for my mum to not take me to my doctor’s appointments as a punishment? huh.

[animanightmate]

Yet again tumblr has me side-eyeing my childhood and a variety of adult relationships thereafter.

Fuck.

[enby-life]

For all the queer kids out there being told that your job is to “teach queerphobes to be more understanding”, it isn’t. That is not your job.

Your job is not to stay in a toxic situation because “you need to teach them to understand”

Your job is not to be treated like shit because “they just need to learn how to be kinder, and you can do that for them”

It is NEVER your job. It is NEVER your responsibility. You are NEVER required to sacrifice your comfort and safety for someone that hurts you.

My 7 year old son was shot down by his 1st grade teacher

[radiantvamp-deactivated20181217]

The american public education system in a nutshell tho

[nodadclub]

My third grade teacher actually had a conversation with my mom that I was reading to well and told her to stop having me read at home

[rustboro-city]

My first grade teacher said that it was problematic that I was reading ahead of the rest of the kids in my grade and asked my parents to stop letting me read Harry Potter.

My fourth grade teacher thought it was wrong for my dad to be teaching me complex math because it fascinated me.

My elementary school music teacher hated the way my piano teacher taught me, and how I was more advanced than many of her students, and so told me, in front of my peers and my mother, that I was not good enough to participate in the state solo festival. She would not give me the form. We had to procure it from the district instead. She also hated how I excelled at reading and playing music for the recorder, and so she refused to give me my “belts” (colored beads to signify our level) and humiliated me in front of the class repeatedly.

My eighth grade algebra teacher used to fail me on take home tests because I didn’t solve problems exactly the way she showed us in class; I used methods that we had learned for other types of problems that also applied to these. She took points off my tests because I didn’t bring a calculator even though I got 100% without it, because I was able to do it by hand. I had to call my father, who is an engineer, down to the school to shout her down and give me back my A in the class.

My 10th grade Spanish teacher yelled at me in front of the class numerous times because she didn’t like the way I took notes; she thought that since I didn’t write every word off the slide, I wasn’t getting it all down. I had to explain to her that people who have taken advanced courses, like AP or IB classes, know that in a fast-paced learning environment you need to take quick shorthand notes that contain the necessary information rather than wasting time writing every word. She almost gave me detention.

My 11th grade English teacher gave me a poor mark on my first short essay because she believed that I was looking up unnecessarily complex words in a thesaurus to try and get better marks. The phrases in question: “laced with expletives” and “bombarded”. She wouldn’t hear any defense from me.

My 11th grade history teacher failed me on an essay about the 1950s because I misread the prompt. Except the prompt wasn’t words; it was a political cartoon. One of the figures was clearly president Eisenhower, but the other I couldn’t place. My teacher would not tell us who it was. I labelled him as the governor of Little Rock Arkansas during the integration period, and wrote an essay about that subject. My teacher said that no, it was Joseph McCarthy, and that there was a small picture of the man in our textbook and therefore I should have recognized him instantly. Half the class, apparently, did not.

The American school system is not here to educate us or to encourage us to learn; it’s here to keep us in line and silent. It’s here to keep us from deviating and being our own people and forming our own ideas. Don’t let it win.

idk guys can we all report this etsy shop for like, actively trying to further covid during a global pandemic. can we please do that. is that allowed

[katcchi]

I’m about to go ballistic 🥰🥰🥰

[dreamingofbabylon]

I couldn't figure out how to report on mobile, so I think you have to open it in desktop view, and the option will be on the left.

Seriously, report things like this if you see them. Lives are literally on the line. This shop already has hundreds of sales

[dreamingofbabylon]

MORE SHOPS TO REPORT

PLEASE report these shops and others like them. These are just a few of MANY people profiting from a pandemic by deliberately endangering countless lives

If you're having trouble with what to write in the report, I've been using something like "This shop includes sheer/mesh face masks which don't meet safety standards for slowing the spread of disease. Selling these during a global pandemic puts lives at risk."

[tired-disabled-and-in-pain]

for those (like me) who are nervous about selecting the right options on the drop down under the reporting tab, i chose “they sell items that don’t meet etsy’s policies” from the drop down and “prohibited or uses prohibited materials” from the list.

happy reporting!

I will periodically update the progress amounts. As the goals are met, I'll mark them as funded and change the colors from green to pink to make it clear. I'm also tagging the ones that could use more attention with red.

Been hearing a lot about "reparations" lately? Well, this is one way to start working towards that, since those in power certainly won't.

[t0bits]

Lets get some of those fundraisers to pink!

[marisatomay]

anyone heading back to school in the US to live on a college campus for the fall semester should uhhhhhhhhhhhh pack light and have a plan to get the hell out of dodge at a moment’s notice

[marisatomay]

this sounds jokey but i’m dead serious. if you plan on living on a college campus this fall please know that there is no amount of cleaning or “distancing” will keep COVID out of the school. these schools know that they are risking your life and the lives of their faculty by bringing people back on campus but they want your money more than they care if you live. 

think about how unventilated dorm rooms are. think about how you somehow have a cold for 4 months straight at school. think about how fast the flu moves through a dorm. think about how foolish people act at when they’re drunk with friends. all it takes is one get together where 5 people remove their masks to play kings cup and the whole school is fucked. 

you need a plan now. you need to pack light so you can leave quickly if necessary. you need to work out now how you will get home in the event that you need to be off campus immediately. if by some miracle you’re still there by october you can cross that bridge when you come to it. but you need to make a plan now.

[learningcherryblossoms]

to kind of prove this point. 

I shared a vent with my neighbors -and I lived in apartment run by the campus- and uh,  wanna know how I found out that we weren’t just separated by a wall and in fact were also sharing a vent?

THEY ALL SMOKED WEED AND IT STUNK UP OUR APARTMENT 

[catlaila]

hello y’all i’m here to tell you if you are on the ace spectrum you are DEFINITELY apart of the lgbtqia+ community and you are LOVED. don’t let anyone tell you otherwise! or if they do, bring them my way and i’ll fight

[well-met-by-moonlight]

Hey all y'all Americans out there please keep this in mind, make sure your votes count and oust the cheeto from the White House

Vote Blue

[timemachineyeah]

  I’ve said this before and I’ll point it out again - 

Menstruation is caused by change in hormonal levels to stop the creation of a uterine lining and encourage the body to flush the lining out. The body does this by lowering estrogen levels and raising testosterone. 

Or, to put it more plainly “That time of the month” is when female hormones most closely resemble male hormones. So if (cis) women aren’t suited to office at “That time of the month” then (cis) men are NEVER suited to office.

If you are a dude and don’t dig the ladies around you at their time of the month, just think! That is you all of the time. 

And, on a final note, post-menopausal (cis) women are the most hormonally stable of all human demographics. They have fewer hormonal fluctuations of anyone, meaning older women like Hilary Clinton and Elizabeth Warren would theoretically be among the least likely candidates to make an irrational decision due to hormonal fluctuations, and if we were basing our leadership decisions on hormone levels, then only women over fifty should ever be allowed to hold office.

i never see enough tips for trans women/transfem people so. here’s a video that came up about tucking :] (don’t worry she doesn’t use tape at all despite the thumbnail)

[vesface]

[teacher-wangji]

Sharing this because:

Many teachers on this platform would benefit from this info.

Many nonteachers need to understand that this will be what their teachers'/teacher friends' lives consist of for the next year.

[bittersweetsadboi]

WARNING!!!!

People, please be careful. There are also people tracking children and people and putting bids on them based on their profile pictures on whatsapp, tracking and kidnapping them. Especially young children, so please be cautious, especially parents who have their children as their profile pictures.

Please pass this on to everyone so that they are aware of the danger. I don’t how it is all around the world but I know it can’t just be here so please please spread the word. Thank you.
