Got back from the sing along and felt inspired

I think adults should stop demanding obedience from children and should start focusing on requesting respect. That’s what will actually serve them in the adult world and help them make good decisions mindfully.

[sandersstudies]

I’ve been thinking about talking with my students about this and I guess the basic premise is “I want you to respect me because I have proved, through our continued interactions, that I’m worthy of respect. I don’t want you to blindly obey what I say because I just happen to be the adult in charge. If another adult makes requests of you that aren’t worthy of respect I want you to feel empowered to say no.”

[sandersstudies]

People keep coming to this post to give examples of times where “obedience” is important but in my understanding I think they’re still examples of respect and trust.

I had a lot of respect and trust for my mother when I was small. Now, obviously I can only remember back to being maybe 4-5 and can’t extrapolate earlier than that, but if my mom said “STOP” or “NO” I can’t remember ever sincerely believing “I should stop because my Mother Demands It,” but rather “I should stop because Mom Knows Things and tells me to stop when There Is a Reason.” The older I got, the more opportunities my mom had to model this by showing trust and respect back to me by giving me responsibilities or letting me make some decisions.

Now that I teach kids I try to embody the same thing by not making rules that aren’t For A Reason. I don’t want to catch myself eroding trust by saying “stop” for innocent behaviors, I want students to know that there is always reason behind the rules we make, and they can trust me to make rules that are fair and reasonable. (I made a whole post about how to form trust-building rules with kids). I also show trust and respect back to them.

[sandersstudies]

I cannot tell you how often I say “I believe you” and “I trust you” to kids and what a difference it makes in our interactions together.

there's a jewish story about a rich man who goes to his rabbi to ask him about building an orphanage, and the rabbi is like "yeah duh go for it!!" and then later the rich guy comes back and is like "actually I've decided not to... I was just doing it for my own image and not coz I cared about orphans" and the rabbi was like "bitch the orphans don't care why you're building the orphanage!!!" and sometimes I wish I could say that to lefties who haven't unpacked their christian upbringing. sometimes motives don't matter!! who give a fuck why a politician wants to do a good thing? bitch the orphans don't!!

It’s like every week something weird happens.

I can’t even begin to imagine how many episodes would be improved just by Picard giving a stumbling, awkward exposition of the episode’s plot to the crew

[starryoak]

ALL episodes could be improved if we saw Picard’s awkward, stumbling exposition to the crew of what’s going on that episode. In fact, I really wanna see that.

[nonotimetoulouse]

“Attention crew, this is your captain speaking. You may notice my voice sounds different, and uh, long story short, I’m 12 again. Another transporter thing, we should really get that looked at. Anywhooo if a little blonde kid starts ordering you around, don’t ignore him, because it’s me. Ok. Bye.”

[stra-tek]

“Okay so, you may have noticed large parts of the ship transforming into some kind of Mayan temple, and Commander Data running around and talking in several different voices. We are aware of the situation and taking steps to restore things to normal.”

“I would die for my kids” your children want an apology

[willgrahamscock]

your made up scenario isn’t real (shocker) and makes no difference when your kids are starving for your acknowledgment of the pain you caused them. you’re only performing the role of a good parent, without having to actually do any heavy lifting

[willgrahamscock]

80 notes in 5 minutes. jesus christ please apologize to your children save them from this pain

[redstonedust]

the thing that bothers me with 7 deadly sin based characters is when they cant decide if they embody the sin by suffering from it or by drawing it out of others. ie. if your gluttony demon is a guy who loves eating then your lust demon should be a gooner sex pest. and if your lust demon is a seductive girlboss then your gluttony demon should be a 5 star chef. does this make sense.

No dumbass, it’s funny because women are usually left out of these pictures. And most of history. While actually, you know… living full lives and contributing to society. Just like men do. But men are always in the fucking picture.

This isn’t a comic about men being dumb, it’s a comic about women being forgotten, ignored, and excluded. But you were so ready to be pissed at mean feminists that you took something personally that absolutely wasn’t and got offended by something that wasn’t being said.

The artist was a man but women still got blamed for the “misandrist joke” by a redpiller calling himself a “big dick americhad“

[she-volution-deactivated2022052]

i love this dude he’s made a bunch of other ‘misandrist jokes’ as well

[shotofchinaco]

Not to go too off-topic but just want to remind everyone that Will McPhail also gave us this great one in 2017:

[redstonedust]

big fan of being able to go back in a reblog chain and rb a version of a post without the additional comments you don't find funny. but it also feels like lowkey snubbing the person who put it on your dash. like sorry boss im trimming the fat here. your tastes are not quite good enough. die.

one of my favorite tropes in chinese literature is when a guy’s wife is clearly a ghost/demon/fox fairy and he just can’t see it. i’m reading a story where this guy keeps getting arrested because his wife will just magically steal steal shit out of sealed boxes and give it to him as a present, and whenever someone is like dude i think something’s up with his wife he asks her and she’s like i’m literally normal. so he turns around and says yeah guys she’s literally normal

[all-encompassing-hero]

Second favorite Huntrix ship behind Polytrix is Zoemira dating in secret and Rumi getting increasingly annoyed at how bad they are at being secret.

She confronts them about it and they deny it and she's like "girls, I could make out with one of you, with tounge, during a live performance, and I'd still have more plausible deniability about being in a relationship then you two have" before leaving the room and they're just sitting there like "wait come back. what does that mean? do you want to make out with us? come back and explain."
