I’m teaching Gina to play [chess], and she, in turn, is teaching me to ‘trash talk’.

Did you know that after they switched to blind auditions, major symphony orchestras hired women between 30% to 55% more? Before bringing in “blind auditions” with a screen to conceal the the candidate, women in the top 5 major orchestras made up less than 5% of the musicians performing.

[shwetanarayan-deactivated202504]

so I believe it was actually more complicated than that, in interesting ways. Because at first, when they did blind auditions, they were STILL hiring more men.

…Then they put down a carpet, so that high heels didn’t clack on the floor,  and BOOM women were suddenly getting hired.

The testers didn’t even know that’s what they were picking up on, which just goes to show how tiny of a cue it takes for misogyny to kick in.

[isaacsapphire]

The case of blind auditions for orchestras and how it dramatically changed the gender makeup of orchestras is a very illuminating example of gender bias, and an interesting possible way of countering it.

You can be sexist without knowing it. You can be racist without knowing it. This is not a moral failing; it is a moral imperative to remember that you are fallible, and take steps to limit the damage your squishy ape brain’s foibles can cause.

this is straight off the clown school website

i cannot stress enough that this is literally from the website of the nearest clown school

reasons why jake peralta being bi would be good:

-bi men are wildly underrepresented

-he’s older. jesus christ please can we have a bi person who isn’t a “edgy no labels teen experimenter”…its ok to realize you’re bi when youre older , its ok to say bi!

-he’s faithfully and happily married. i think something that goes undiscussed is the fact that you can realize you are bi and still be faithful, loving, and committed to your partner, and that being bi can still be a major part of your identity even while in a relationship (even a “het” one)

-t w O bi chAraCters

-we all want that fucking john mulaney episode you know we do

People who don’t understand the difference between punishment and discipline should, like, never have kids

[clown-butch-deactivated20240919]

hey op i dont understand the difference could you please explain?

[cult-hopper]

Yeah ofc!! Sorry for being vague I was just venting and didnt expect reblogs haha

I’m gonna try to explain my point through examples.

Ex 1: toddler screaming and crying in the walmart

Punishment: I’m going to spank you or embarrass you or yell at you! Shut up! I’ll give you something to cry about!

Discipline: stop doing what you’re doing because it isn’t productive and it disturbs others as well as increasing your own upsetnes. I’m going to take you out of the environment that’s upsetting you until you’re calm and we can identify what upset you together so I can explain to you why it’s like that/help you find ways to productively express upsetness as you grow.

Ex 2: your teen is failing, like, all their classes

Punishment: you’re grounded! You’re not allowed to go out with your friends or play games or do anything fun or enjoyable until your work is satisfactory!

Discipline: it’s important to do well in school. You need to communicate with me when you are struggling so I can help you. You also need to learn to manage fun stuff and work as that’s an important life skill in adulthood. I’m going to monitor your work more closely so I can help you find that balance. And if this is a deeper mental or emotional issue, we can seek help for you together.

So basically, discipline is something you teach that requires time, communication, and sternness. Punishment is a single action meant to deliberately cause discomfort in an attempt to implement negative reinforcement. Not good.

remember that catfish episode where she catfished her cousin bc he called her a fat ass kelly price 3 years ago

[thotbrey]

[moomootootoob-deactivated202311]

You know what else she did, she bloody did a horror movie plot twist, where she called the show to investigate whomever was cat fishing her cousin, so basically everyone that they were investigating to the cat fish was a red herring by her, leading to the climax of the episode where it was revealed that she was the one cat fishing him lol

You know what I absolutely fucking hate the fact that lgbt people are expected to be detached and logical about their own fucking identities

I absolutely hate that I’m supposed to be passive and docile and just ignore homophobes trying to “get a rise out of me” when they call me fucking slurs

and it makes me fucking sick that My own identity, my attraction to the same gender is considered a POLITCAL STANCE, and that if I say something as harmless as “gay rights” it’s considered starting shit

Even cishets who don’t consider themselves transphobic or homophobic expect lgbt people to just shut the fuck up and “fight hate with love” and love everyone and be all kind and passive and just let bigots walk all over them and I HATE it

Cishets reblog this but don’t you dare say any clown shit

Hi ma’am, your daughter is exactly what this world needs. ❤️

the president of nigeria is about to fuck boko haram up and cut his own salary in half and criminalized female genital mutilation

the president of guinea built/is building infrastructure and school and wells all over the country and is decreasing youth unemployment exponentially

the president of cote d’ivoire made school mandatory of children ages 6-16 and banned plastic bags while also building ultra modern trasportation infrastructure

the future is for real in africa 

[incandescent-justice]

I think this should have a hell of a lot more notes on it than it does. This is what good news looks like folk, and the continent of Africa surely deserves a shed load of it.

Today (April 7th) is Remembrance Day for the Rwandan genocide. While Rwanda still faces challenges, their recovery has been incredible. They now have the highest percentage of women in parliament around the world (one of only two countries to have over 50% women), their gross national income has risen each year, and life expectancy has risen from  48 in 1990 to 65 in 2013.

i’ve definitely brought this up before but the idea of the cullens being super socially isolated and not participating in school is ridiculous and just makes them seem even more suspicious so here are some of my headcanons about them being actual upstanding members of the community

emmett absolutely drags them out to school sporting events. catch them at every home football game j chillin in the stands or lurking aroung the concession stand during halftime

edward plays piano for a lot of the choir concerts and plays in the pit for musicals

alice writes a fashion advice column for the school paper because GOD these small town folks’ wardrobes could use an update

it wasn’t jasper’s idea but he did get roped into joing the quiz bowl team because he’s a huge history nerd

somehow, rosalie ended up on the student government. she’s not happy about it, but she wasn’t about to turn down a position of power

Fun fact: Arizona is the only place in the country where the state mine inspector is an elected position

I forgot vampire bats were a thing and thought they were referring to the folklore kind of vampire

the subtle advocation for kids to be playing in the abandoned copper mines is also not great
