I think the one of the only knowledge overlaps I have with my dad is fire dynamics. He needed to know because of firefighting. I needed to learn it indirectly because of atmospheric science.

it has occurred to me, as I age, that most people did not spend their childhoods getting simplified breakdowns of class-action lawsuits explained to them over dinner at least once a week

I ABSOLUTELY encourage people to keep reblogging and commenting on this with their own niche secondhand expertises from their parents’ careers

#firefighting - happenings in the ER - wild happenings during EMS calls #this is how i learned fire safety #and then sometimes it's like #“yeah we went to vehicle vs pedestrian call and someone had hit & run a mother walking with two toddlers in a stroller”#but with more elaboration #my birth parents are very much “YOOO guess what traumatic thing I saw today! :D ”

Optimists once believed that universal literacy was inevitable. Now it seems that the age of reading might be a short anomaly in human histo

it's so interesting to me how literacy crisis rhetoric is so inseparable from white supremacy & eugenics. just the whole way people talk about it. decline of the western world, intellectual degeneracy, blah blah blah people just can't help themselves. and like i feel like the solutions to it are pretty damn straightforward but discussions never even get that far, it's just wailing and gnashing of teeth about how people are gambling and tiktoking now instead of reading charles dickens for fun.

anti-parent

oh noooo this education discipline is boring as shit & inaccessible to many & the young people engaging in it are never taken seriously as interpreters & creators of knowledge. we spent decades straight up not teaching kids how to read properly and blaming them when they inevitably fail. now there are technological developments that make the shitty assignments we've been relying on for decades an even bigger waste of time for everyone involved. we can't even articulate why things need to continue being taught this way without alluding to the bygone glory of the white race and we won't even fund schools but - what's this - the kids want to do something else instead??? how dare they.

also like. Covid. Covid happened.

Remember when Covid happened? And we all said that nobody was taking post-viral symptoms seriously enough? And brain fog was one of the most well-documented symptoms of long Covid?

It sure is a lot more emotionally satisfying to blame the effects on your political enemies Rotting Kids' Brains though, huh.

from what i've observed, i do think there is some pressure for women in not explicitly feminist leftist circles to affect a kind of "cool girl" posture for the benefit of the men in the movement

same as it ever was!!!

#this whole thing has been a true “I hate my state so much” moment #can't wait for the state dems to pick another bastard to run for senate #collins is probably going to win regardless tbh

Man I miss free the nipple. Its getting warmer and we don’t even have free the nipple anymore

gramarye

feminism has backslid so hard in recent years people don't even know what free the nipple means anymore

briwhosaysni

To clarify for those who don't know, "free the nipple" isn't about going braless, it's about going topless

No shirt, no bra, completely bare torso, just like cis men are allowed to

It's about desexualizing breasts and "female presenting nipples" and not being criminalized for our bodies if we want to go topless because it's a million damn degrees out. This was a popular growing movement that was still widely known a decade ago!

And the fact that not wearing a bra is so discouraged and stigmatized that people think the movement was about being able to go braless under your shirt in public rather than about being able to not wear a shirt at all says a lot about how far we've backslid in the past decade

#i miss the movement bring it back #absolutely stupid that i have to get a surgery before being allowed to be topless

Spin the wheel. That's who's trying to kill you.

Spin the wheel again. That’s who’s trying to protect you.

(If you have zero idea about a name you got, spin until you see someone you recognize.)

Are you safe?

Absolutely not. I'm dead. 100% dead.

I might stay alive, but it'll be a really close thing.

I'll take some hits, for certain, but I should be okay in the end.

A few attacks might get through, but nothing concerning.

The attacker might be able to get in one lucky hit. If that.

I am the opposite of worried. I'm 100% safe.

…Look. I've tried picturing this. But I honestly don't know how to answer.

I don't think it's unreasonable for our public officials to be expected to prove they're alive and not in a coma to be able to retain their office.

If someone were, as a random example, say hospitalized for over two weeks with no explanation, I think that should automatically trigger a special election to replace them.

If you're still able to do your job, then prove it. And if you're not, then you're actively obstructing democracy by not stepping down.

Which is to say, that if a public official were to pass away or into a coma, and their handlers choose to obfuscate that fact, this should be seen as intentionally obstructing democracy.

And there should be, you know, consequences for the people who would do such a thing.

It's not romantic. It's not platonic. It's "I would walk through the ends of the world for you and you would do the same, so who cares what everyone else thinks as long as I have you by my side."

Polyamory is safe for work. Polyamory is safe for kids. Polyamory is safe for day time tv. Polyamory isn’t more sexual than any other relationship and it can be just as romantic, sweet, and healthy.
