most “protect the children” campaigns come with the implication that what’s best for children is 1950s white christian nuclear families and rigid adherence to the status quo, and having been a children I can definitively say that is very very incorrect
Today two of our students found an undetonated grenade from the second world war, picked it up and passed it back and forth.
I am very grateful that none of my students got blown to bits today.
"Are you sure you don't just want to reduce his behaviour grade bacause you take the things he says too personally?"
Ma'am "the things he says" are "I hate gay people"
Things that are making me crazy atm:
The fundraising campaign that has collected over 700k NOK to "stop pride in schools" whatever tf that means
The fact that this campaign has ads on the front page of the newspaper Dagen
The discussions in the main teacher group on facebook (admittedly, already, um, well), in which many people seem to think flying a rainbow flag is exclusionary towards Christian students and parents
Never forget the two ninth graders back in November who got the question "What can you do to make this school a better place to be" and responded "execute all black people and jews" (and then later also added gay people to the list)
My coworker who was in that classroom with me at that time and did not seem to think any of this was particularly noteworthy
Incidentally the same coworker who told a student she believed abortion was murder because "God has a plan for everyone"
Also my 10th grade student who was angry with me for unrelated reasons and handled that by yelling repatedly that he hates gay people
When I explicitly told my boss I believed the previously mentioned ninth graders were behaving badly towards me because they know I am a lesbian, and she just straight up didn't believe me
Also it is June. Pride month is great when there are a lot of us and there are events to go to. Up here it mostly means that there are a lot of articles that make me insane everywhere.
Jeg har en drøm at vi tar vare på hverandre
Og gir det beste i oss selv til alle andre
Jeg tenker opp når jeg er nede om å om å om igjen
Optimist, jeg vet det går bra til sist
Så lenge jeg lever her er jeg en Optimist
Jeg er en Optimist
Short English version: I have a dream that we take care of each other. As long as I’m alive i will be an optimist, I am an optimist
Omg their joy ❤️❤️

I am currently taking an art class. It is being offered by an art teacher who taught high school students for decades.
It is a terrible class. And, like, I hate to be a bitch. I signed up for the class myself because it billed itself as a figure drawing course and I need to work on that. But I am legitimately considering teaching a class of my own to counteract the things she's teaching, because they are not useful for beginners.
it’s actually not misogynistic to say astrology is bogus, and it is indeed way way more misogynistic to believe that things that can’t be proven rationally through science are More Female.

This is the quiz and I did not come up with it, credit goes to @iswearbyalltheflowers on this post.
Absolutely no judgment, I’m genuinely really curious and I figured more people would answer anonymously here than on the original post.
reblogging a post that says “do it scared” vs actually doing it scared
The legacy of France can and should only be remembered as one utterly stained by (or, more accurately, formed from) its brutal colonialist and imperialist endeavours.
@sissa-arrows source (french)
French police killed at least 100 people in 1961, throwing some of them into the River Seine to drown them.
this part is especially triggering for me, since i learnt this past 17th October, that my Grandmother, who was 15 years old at the time, arrived with her mother at this horrific scene a bit too late and was nearly arrested by the police. I can't imagine what would have happened to her if they had left the house earlier.
The rare white people who witnessed this on the right side of history said that one of the things they won’t forget is how they fellow white parisians turned into informants for the police and how during all of the night they called the cops on the Algerians who managed to hide or escape.
Over 200 Algerians were killed that night over 500 if you count the one killed in the following nights but thousands more were arrested (over 10000) every single ministry was an accomplice they used to public buses to transport them kept them in a stadium because the precincts were not big enough… While the people killed were men and women, the people arrested were a huge majority of men. So the following days the women and children started calling for a peaceful march to ask for their husbands and fathers to be released. This time they knew that the public opinion wouldn’t look kindly to it if they killed them. So the police instead arrested the women and sent them to a psychiatric hospitals saying they were unstable and needed to be locked inside. Luckily the director was a good man so he refused to lock the women inside the hospital saying they were perfectly sane but he also refused to let the police take them. So he waited until the police left to help the women leave back to their places.
There’s a documentary about it (I don’t remember if the psychiatric hospital was in this documentary or in an other) made by an Algerian woman in the diaspora in France. It’s filled with testimonies and a woman explains that when her husband left for the protest he told her to take care of the children and that if something happened to him she needed to make sure their children would go to school school and be good students. He survived to October 17 but was found and killed by the police on the 19th.
Lastly in 2021 Macron pretended to atone for what happened and with the police prefect they went to pay their respect on the bridge where most of the massacre happened and they went to put flowers. He was the first president doing it. Except after doing it in front of the camera the police then stopped the peaceful march that the survivors and the families of the victims organize every year and they kept them from putting flowers there and pay their respect. Macron did a lot of fucked up shit but pretending to acknowledge a massacre from the police while using the police to stop Algerians from paying their respects to the victims was really the thing that stayed in my mind the most. Nothing says “we actually don’t regret sending the police against a peaceful protest of Algerians and will do it again” as well as sending the police against the peaceful march organized by the descendants of those killed and by the survivors…
Okay. Hopefully that was this year's worst parent teacher conference. Hopefully.
When the topic becomes about racism between children you very quickly realise children of colour aren't seen as children but as some other thing that should just take the abuse and then forgive the Real White Children because they didn't know better. They don't understand it but children of colour can and will very early in their youth.
We bought an apartment! Insane.
Things I am looking forward to:
Fireplace
Heated bathroom floor
Dishwasher
Heat pump (Is that the word? I just realized I have never heard anyone talk about this in English. Like AC but making your home warmer instead of colder.)
Laundry room
Garage
Buying a home is terrifying
People who cannot find beauty in every biome on earth are incredibly bizarre to me. "yeah this place is really beautiful but this place isnt :/". what the fuck are you talking about. start admiring that rock and that tree and that bug and that scrubby little plant and that weird animal and that extreme weather right now. im not telling you to go live there but please you gotta start enjoying all kinds of nature im begging you.
i'm not normally one to make jokes about dialect or accent. but the way that British people pronounce "lieutenant" feels like an in-joke i'm not privy to
Aww, you're feeling lieut out?
