And while I’m at it stop posting pictures of your kids online. All those people saving that pic of your toddler in a bathing suit or in their diaper aren’t doing it because they just thought it was cute. They are putting it into AI image generators to create simulated images of them in sexually exploitative positions and scenarios. Stop posting your kids online.

The above is a video shared by smrchildsadness on Twitter, showing a person participating in a pride parade exchanging a pride flag with a person standing on his (am using his pronoun based on the TikToks/Tweets of what happened) doorway who had a Portuguese flag. There are sounds of cheers and crying and the two people hug each other as they exchange the flags. The man at the doorway then waved kisses to the crowd within the pride parade.

The Tweet says: "NO YOU DONT UNDERSTAND HE WAS WAVING THE PORTUGUESE FLAG BECAUSE HE DIDN'T HAVE A PRIDE FLAG AND THEY TRADED FLAGS AND HE'S SO EMOTIONAL TO GET HIS OWN PRIDE FLAG I'M EMOTIONALLY RUINED"

For context, apparently they were worried that maybe he's a nationalist because he was waving the Portuguese flag and some nationalists opposing the pride march were waving that flag. But upon interacting with him, it turns out he didn't have have a pride flag and he wanted to wave *a* flag in support of the pride march. So they had an exchange and now he has his own pride flag 😭🥹.

The image above is a Tweet by kunwara_ladkaa that says "I'm crying so much right now (Image taken by Manuel Fernando Araújo/Lusa)". The image shows the same man from the pride parade crying as he hugs his new pride flag.

The above image is a Tweet by dudz_zZzz that says "ainda não parei de pensar nele," which according to Google translate from Portuguese to English is "I still haven't stopped thinking about him." The image is a drawing of the person from the pride parade, crying as he hugs his new pride flag.

One of the most joyful moments of 2024 during a Pride Parade in Portugal.

So can we be so fucking serious about the literacy crisis yet or are y’all still pretending that it’s just exaggeration that there’s a massive systemic issue where parents and educators have catastrophically failed a generation by passing them through school when they literally can’t do basic reading and math.

[nonenosome2]

The thing for me is, how does a parent allow that to happen?

I understand the teacher's couldn't care less, they get paid either way, but the parents allowing it to happen? Not even teaching them at home?

[tlaquetzqui]

The teachers don’t get paid either way, the parents get them fired for attempting to really teach reading, or anything else, in such a way that the parents’ precious little darlings might be told they’re wrong.

Parents have exactly the education system they deserve.

[ausefulblogforputtingthingsin]

Most teachers care very much. Its the only reason we stay in the low-paying, soul-sucking, burnout inducing profession for so long. The education system is built on emotionally manipulating teachers into doing unpaid labor, without which it would cease to function.

Teachers beg parents to read to their kids. Parents don't. We try to get kids to work through frustration, but parents have given them screens to microdose them with dopamine all day long, so they're incapable of focusing or sitting with discomfort. We're not allowed to tell kids they're wrong, and not allowed to hold kids back even if there's no way they could succeed in the next grade, since they can't read. When we do get to hold a kid back? Parents can appeal it and the school board will automatically pass the kid to the next grade in most districts.

Teachers care more than anyone gives us credit for, but it's much easier to ignore what we say while blaming us for not fixing a system we have zero control over. Teachers have been sounding the alarm about the literacy crisis since WAY before covid, and no one wanted to hear it. Teachers can't be the only ones working with kids and expect them to succeed. And I don't just mean working on reading. I'm talking about teaching kids how to handle emotions, how to not hit people, how to take no for an answer, and how to recover when they're disregulated. Teachers are increasingly expected to handle aaaaalllll that (and worse) times 30 (or more) before we can even begin to teach what the kids are actually supposed to be learning. And we get told if we just create relationships it will all be fixed. Oh and also make our lessons more engaging (when our competition for their attention is tiktok). Oh and document every behavior and every intervention (which means every single thing WE did to bend over backwards and try to get kids to participate in any way in their own learning, and also all the things WE did to fix their behavior problems before we get any support from admin) because "if you didn't document it it didn't happen. That documentation, btw, is pretty much always done for free outside of contract hours because there's not time in the day for it. And we don't get paid overtime. So tell me again how "teachers couldn't care less".

You have no idea how good it feels to run into strangers who headcanon a character as aro. In spaces where ships are taken too seriously and around friends who just don't really care all too much about aromanticism, seeing a complete random person headcanon something that I am in real life brings me so much genuine joy
