parents are allowed to straight-up torture their kids with zero consequences. they can withhold food and water, lock you out of shelter, confiscate your belongings, bar you from human contact, attack and harm you and exert complete control over your physical appearance. and this is just the norm. if you speak out against it you're seen as a delinquent or a predator. even otherwise progressive people get uncomfortable with the idea of dismantling the nuclear family unit because they still see it as the best way to keep kids safe when that simply couldn't be further from the truth. it's evil.
This is also part of why I'm so loud about homeschool reform, specifically in the USA.
In the US, there is no meaningful legal definition for educational/academic neglect in any of the 50 states or federally. What this means is that a child can be "homeschooled" and exclusively be taught how to cook and clean, reach the age of 18 being unable to read, write, or count, and this alone is not considered neglect. That 18yo, should they even have the knowledge that suing exists, has no legal grounds to sue their parents for denying them an education.
In over 40 US states, a convicted child abuser can homeschool their children. So someone who has done time for child abuse and somehow regains access to their child(ren) can decide upon returning home that they want to "homeschool" their kids. Those children are now locked in a home with their abuser where nobody can see them.
There are no welfare checks.
There are no routine assessments.
There aren't even databases — state or federal — keeping track of how many homeschooled kids there actually are.
Meaning a child can be locked in their home for their entire life with their convicted abuser, learn absolutely nothing, never go to the doctor, and so long as that child is fed, clothed, and the abuse isn't physical or sexual, that child has almost no chance of rescue and no legal ground to seek restitution if/when they escape.
The only way homeschooled children get rescued is if they're beaten, starved, or physically neglected and they're able to get the right person to see that. Otherwise? They have to wait until someone finds out they were murdered as a result of their parents "homeschooling".
And feral homeschool parents love to jump down my throat about this, and then get even more pissed when I tell them I'm a homeschool alumni.
Because I know it's not all homeschoolers. But even one is too many, and the lack of protections should scare everyone. If you're a good homeschool parent, nothing will change. If not, you deserve whatever comes your way as a result of adequate oversight.
Children deserve rights.
It's not all homeschoolers... but it's certainly most of the homeschoolers who don't want protections and regulation. The ones who are homeschooling for the right reasons benefit from guidelines and benchmarks being in place.
Yup! My parents (both educators albeit at the college level) were very clear that homeschooling needed to be regulated a LOT more than it was.
I looked up the current regulations on homeschooling in my state (PA) from a homeschooling organization, and from what I can tell, here are some easy ways for things to go wrong:
Standardized testing is required in some grades, and the parent cannot be the supervisor, and it must be included in the report parents are required to submit to someone to review. That someone cannot be the parent or their spouse, and must be a certified teacher, licensed psychologist, or non-public-school teacher. However, as I understand it, that person can still be a fairly close relative or good friend -- so you can get, for instance, your best friend to sign off that yeah, sure, you're totally educating your kids, as long as they have those qualifications.
The person 'educating' needs to have a high school level or more.
Certain hours need to be put in in certain subjects, but I think that's up to the parents (I once met someone who said she would've counted my Wikipedia rabbit holes for a credit, and my mom used to count random mentions of Pennsylvania as the required 'Pennsylvania history' because she thought it was a stupid law).
OR you can get a tutor. As long as the tutor is allowed to teach in Pennsylvania, spends time with the kids, gets paid for it, and notifies the superintendent of the school district, that...seems to be it? The website doesn't list any other requirements.
You want to know the terrifying part?
That homeschool regulation website puts PA as having 'high regulation'.
If you can find and pay one (1) accredited teacher in the state, you can completely neglect your kids' education, and that's "high" regulation.
Take Texas.
According to the website I linked above, here are the requirements for Texas:
Teach math, reading, spelling/grammar, and "good citizenship"
Use a written curriculum
That's it. You don't need to tell anyone. You don't need any qualifications. You don't need to have your child assessed. You don't need to vaccinate them.
This is also a bipartisan issue.
West Virginia? You need to have a high school diploma, to tell people, teach writing, language, math, science and social studies, get your child(ren) assessed yearly, note the progress of your child(ren) educationally, and in some years submit the results of your child(ren)'s testing to the superintendent.
And meanwhile in deep-blue New Jersey? You need to offer an "equivalent" education, but you don't need to notify anyone ever and you don't need to be qualified and you don't need to get your child tested and you don't need to vaccinate them.
If you live in the US, I encourage you to look up the standards on homeschooling in your state and see how absolutely fucked they are. (Hint: they almost certainly are).
Ok, Have you in real life ever seen a bathroom that had its light switch Outside of the bathroom. Not like one of those fancy giant bathrooms where the toilet is in its own little room, but a normal sized bathroom where you could be in there doing your thing and someone Outside could just turn the light off on you?
This is so normal to me
Yeah but it's weird
Maybe? normal though.
Maybe? weird though.
No but I'm pro this being a thing
no and what the fuck why would that be a thing
Other
Button.
In Real life. not in a videogame or movie because I've Only seen it in videogames and a friend has spotted it in a movie.

**THIS POST IS ABOUT RACISM!!!**
A lot of people are ragging on the 'cable diverted to avoid Dobby's grave after Harry Potter fans raise a stink' thing and while I also love ragging on Harry Potter fans being weird, in this case it looks like the story was completely made up.
tl;dr: There's no evidence the interview that this was mentioned in even exists, no evidence the route of the cable has ever changed, and the whole story seems to originate from one dude's podcast.
The story also broke into mainstream via the Daily Mail, who are ... rarely if ever honest or accurate.
Transcript: Okay, this is, admittedly, a little story. Part of my process for making these videos is that I read a lot of news and research
Tldr she found real interviews that more or less confirm its real its just from 2018
@prismatic-bell
Why on earth is it breaking NOW then?
Maybe because of the TV show causing an HP revival? People trying to bring up old dirt to discredit Harry Potter and the fandom while they're pushing it so hard?
for the lovely lovely deafies out there who want to get involved in direct action you absolutely 100% cannot ever bring a hearing aid or cochlear implant with bluetooth to any direct action. bluetooth devices all carry a unique signal that can be used to identify you if it's picked up at a direct action. go with a [more] hearing buddy and communicate in sign language. if you don't mutually know a sign language then come up with gestures. do not risk your freedom because you want to have your hearing aid/cochlear implant at the action. it's not worth it.
flock cameras are also now tracking bluetooth device signatures when you pass them. if you drive past a flock camera with your bluetooth-enabled hearing aid or cochlear implant, the flock camera knows you passed through
Wait I just realized this is gonna apply to all cgms and most if not all insulin pumps. They’re all Bluetooth devices, it’s essential to how they work
I did not think it possible, but I have just developed even more hatred, derision, and contempt for the perpetual surveillance state.
Company's morals and products are both sh*tty.
in case you didn't know it, this is also related to how cyclosporiasis spreads. when farm workers are not given adequate bathroom breaks or access to restrooms, they have no choice but to relieve themselves directly into the fields, especially if they are already suffering from diarrheal disease and have been made to work while sick. the pathogen ends up in irrigation ditches and, eventially, all over your food. this is why human rights like sanitation need to be available to everyone in order to be effective for anyone.
There's a DC alternate history where the Nazis win WW2, but it turns out that it's because Lex Luthor went back in time and froze Adolf Hitler in a big block of ice.
There are two things about this that immediately strike me from a story telling point of view. First, Hitler was a moronic egomaniac, whereas Luther is a genius egomaniac. Second, I don't think Luther would actually do the Holocaust, his bigotry is directed towards Meta Humans and Space Aliens, not Jews and Romani.
I am not actually familiar with where the writing for that arc went because I have neither read nor watched it, I'm simply aware of it, but if it has a good writer... Though I don't imagine that they actually tackle that idea because it would create big ethical questions around returning the timeline to the one we know.

Coming at this from a Watsonian perspective, living in a world where Luther had stopped the Holocaust, if the Justice League put it back the way it was then they would be the bad guys.
I should maybe watch it, but I expect to be disappointed and think I could have done better.
I guess if the Justice League are simply ending Luthor's Fascist Technocracy over Europe then that's fine 🤔.
There's so much I can say about what I would want out of de-Luthorisation of Europe and how the Soviet deportations and national redrawing of maps in our own timeline was actually so fucked up.
Wait this was Luthor in Justice League? I thought it was Vandal Savage?
No Luther wasn't in the Justice League, it was Luther taking over the Nazi Party and leading them to victory, and the Justice League had to "fix the timeline" or something, I'm hazy on details other than *Luther puts Hitler on ice, takes over as the new leader and so the Nazis win*
In Justice League, the animated show in the screengrab not the name of the team itself, it wasn't Lex who went back in time. It was Vandal Savage. In the episode The Savage Time
Oh! As I said, I only vaguely know of it.
Sorry im baked. English is hard

I really hate how this became a tweet about Ben Shapiro’s sexual failure (because my enemies being bad at sex is peak comedy, haha), when the thing it actually displays is Shapiro’s unwillingness to engage in metaphorical language or media analysis of art he feels is beneath him, in this case, a rap song about sex made by black women
Ben Shapiro, who can’t understand basic imagery and hyperbole in a pop song: clearly the reason I was rejected from screenwriting is because I’m a conservative
You've been kidnapped but the main character of the last TV show you watched is coming to rescue you.
Who’s rescuing you?
Believe it or not the last thing I watched on TV was the World Cup final…
Galavant. I mean, historically, his luck has been,,, so-so. with Isabella helping, though, he’ll probably do better.
I do trust Lucius Vorenus but I do not necessarily expect to leave unharmed
