one thing you need to know about 2014. is that what does the fox say was playing pretty much everywhere you went. and everybody was just relieved it wasn't blurred lines
I canot stress enough that those were the only 2 songs in 2014
I would heavily argue that Happy or Shake it off were also up there.
I work with kids and I've had two occasions where a little boy straight up won't listen to anything I say because I'm a woman. and like yeah he's gonna continue to be raised by terrible role models and probably grow up to be a sexist douchebag but I have three hours a week to get through to him and so far I'm crushing it. I got six year old boys who previously didn't listen to a word I said telling their shitty dads to not speak to me like that. yeah that's right I'm the teacher making your kid woke. go fuck yourself about it.
you left your kid with me and I taught him that women are people. and also to question authority. and also how to kick someone in the nuts. have fun with that.
Do you have advice for people wishing to also learn the skill of getting through to little boys who've been taught not to listen to women?
honestly there's nothing that's going to work for every kid but I've found just turning kid behavior back on them usually works pretty well. like if they say something about "girls are like this and boys are like that" be like why. why. why. why. exactly the way little kids do. they'll try to come up with an answer but usually after like five rounds of me asking why they'll eventually be like huh. idk.
in my case it definitely helps that I teach kids martial arts classes at a boxing gym with a lot of women. so little boys just factually cannot tell me that girls can't fight or aren't strong or something, because they're constantly surrounded by proof that isn't true. also rules are very different in a boxing gym so if a kid is being a little shit I'm allowed to pick them up and put them in upside down air jail. you probably can't do this in most contexts.
I think the biggest thing is that they need to see men and other boys listening to women. they're following the example that's been set for that. at home maybe their dad never listens to their mom, but when they show up at my class all the other boys are following my instructions. peer pressure is real and you can use it to your advantage. I make a point to tell the biggest buffest manliest dudes what to do in front of the little boys. now this works because those dudes already listen to me, but getting any dudes to follow your instructions could probably work.
the best punishment is the natural consequences of your behavior. if a kid isn't going to listen to me, he doesn't get to do class. this works because class is fun and he wants to kick stuff and hit people with noodles. kids want to have fun more than they want to misbehave. as long as listening to me is more fun than misbehaving, they'll listen.
because these boys are learning this behavior from their dads, the dads also tend to be the kind of tough strict emotionally distant parents that would yell at "girly" behavior or crying. even when I'm strict with the kids, I never yell, I obviously never hurt them, and I always listen. they want to yap at me about pokemon or youtubers. it can be tough when they're really sexist at the beginning but eventually they will show you something that their dad wouldn't approve of, whether they want a pink noodle or quietly mention they like a girly show. this is the part where you simultaneously act like it's no big deal while encouraging it. you need show it's completely normal for a boy to want or like that. if you can, bring up another boy or man they know who likes the same thing. I always show off my nails to the kids and bring over the guy who also paints his nails. you'll probably get "boys can do that?" comments and I usually just go "well he's a boy and he did it, so unless his hand falls off right now I think it's okay"
for me, it's always eventually gotten to a point where the boys realize that everyone else thinks it's normal to listen to women, and that if they want to have fun they need to listen too. they also realize that these people and these women are nicer and listen to them more than their dad does. they notice how all these nice people that make them happy talk to women very differently than their dad does. when those boys yelled at their dads for being rude to me, I made a point to thank them and say that they were right and their dads were rude.
encouraging the behavior you want to see is even more important than punishing the behavior you don't want to see. you can't tell kids what not to do without giving them something to replace the behavior with.
this site really hates people with ocd
“reblog this or you don’t support minorities!” “if you don’t reblog this then all of your followers should hate you!” “if you have a bad thought then you actually think that way and you’re a horrible person!” “you can only like ‘good’ things and if you like something ‘bad’ then you’re awful!” i am going to throttle you with my bare hands
Hey guys, I'm live! Come on in and join! I'm drawing PRIDE art!!
What happens if Kappa and siren switched bodies and how will they react?
I actually thought about a possible plot point in the story for this very thing years ago lol. But it was one of the many ‘filler’ ideas I had and ultimately didn’t add much to the story other than something fun that entertained me.
The main joke would be that siren was so nervous being in kappa’s body that he wouldn’t look down at himself and held his hands up like he was under arrest.
And kappa kept swimming around in siren’s body amazed at how fast he could go (but ultimately swims into a rock)
I would LOVE to see this as some fun side comic on Patreon or something!
How are you today😁
I started my period 😩
Ugh, same 😭
@spacebugsblog I saw one the other night :3
You better give me @kaelee1340
I'll do my best 😅
@spacebugsblog I saw one the other night :3
Conservatives finally say the quiet part out loud:
They would rather have a dead child than a trans child.
This is so utterly enraging. Disgusting. Unacceptable. WRONG.
happy one year to our queer little leaf show….🍂🍂🍂
i think it’s safe to say that heartstopper definitely changed our lives for the better and i couldn’t be more thankful
Heartstopper is exactly what we Americans need during this absolutely TERRIFYING time here for queer people. Seriously, I've cried myself to sleep the last few nights because of the scary anti-trans and anti-queer bills spreading like wildfire. Heartstopper season 2 could not come fast enough for me. I need some positivity and representation rn.
Thank you Alice for this beautiful story and for unintentionally making it explode worldwide so my queer ass could love it 😂
he thinks he's being so smooth with his little face on my leg. i SEE you, villain
I wonder if Alice Oseman ever imagined that they would have such a wide age range of fans. That people in their teens and twenties would read and watch Heartstopper and find themselves, or use it to come out to others; that people in their 20s, 30s, 40s, 50, 60s would read and watch and strive to be a teacher like Mr Ajayi or a parent like Sarah Nelson; or weep over their own teen years, the teachers or parents or friends or lovers they didn't have, or the bullying they did have, and then find some healing.
(I ponder weeping over Heartstopper for the bazillionth time.)
maybe i am too old for tiktok
My son once came back from a record shop visit with his uncle and with wide eyes and excited smile presented me with a cassette tape. “Look what I found!” As though he’d unearthed ancient pottery at a dig sight.
I love it. I love when my kids discover something that I take for granted. I hear songs with new ears because they are in a state of wonder. My son played me “Paint it Black” the other day, I’m like yeah Rolling Stones so what? And then I see his face and that LOOK like he just discovered sunsets and he’s like yeah but listen to this part, listen to the guitar right here - and I hear a song anew. Like watching a puppy see a bird for the first time, and oh oh right yeah birds are fucking amazing, forgot about that.
#finally a comment that doesn’t have disdain for kids discovering old things #isn’t it cool that someone didn’t know Queen and they got to hear it for the first time? #isn’t it cool to witness that excitement?
I think this is largely why “react” channels on YouTube have become so popular. Watching someone experience something you love for the first time is exciting. Rediscovering that thing through their eyes is also exciting.
they need to invent a specific word to describe the GRRGHGAHGA RYRURGUGR AURURGRHGR. GGRGGRGRGRHGHAVAGGHRRUGRUGRHRGHRGHRGHR AGHAGHRGHGRHRGHRHA NRURGAHGAHGRHGHR emotion you get when you think about a special interest or hyperfixation too hard. nothing that currently exists gets it
I know it doesn't have the hyper or crazy feeling or sound to it that I know we're looking for, but wouldn't a word be twitterpated?? Learned it from Bambi and looked it up. It literally means infatuated or obsessed.
cant recommend this enough but if youre able you should go on walks every day. like fuck weather fuck circumstance uust go outside. got rained on today and it was blissful. even just sit outside get fucked up by crazy ass wind youll never forget how small you are and rememebr everything matters
nodding to this beclaws some people in the notes missed it but this was really just a gentle nudge for anyone who can, not a reprimand if you arent able to. i understand even things like going on a walk arent accessible to everyone because of where we live or the bodies we are born in, but that no matter what i am a stranger who wants you to take care of yourself and experience the outdoors in whatever ways best for you. even if thats an open window or a sit on the porch.
