Just imagine facing outrage from parents because their kids have to learn about the Holocaust in your school.
And your response is to publically apologise to them.
There is no way that what was said in that email actually happened. They tried to have their cake and eat it too, to say they did nothing wrong by teaching historical reality(they didn't) but also validate the hurt feelings of parents who think said reality is Jewish propaganda. If you don't think your child is "heard" when they learn about objective facts, that's your problem to fix and not the school's.
I think the most disturbing aspect of the grooming gangs in the UK is not the duration in which they took place, the brutality of the atrocities, or even the sheer scale, but that it seems that at every level of government and institutions there was an active effort to enable and cover up what was occurring in order to privilege foreign rapists over the native population of children that these rapists were intentionally targeting for religious and ethnic reasons. Hospitals not asking questions to obvious victims of rape and sending them home with only medication for the pain, police throwing out and ignoring reports, police themselves participating in and associating with the gangs, children’s homes and foster care that delivered children to the rapists, media intentionally not covering the crimes, government continuously prioritizing the ‘rights’ of these criminals and continuing to allow more of them into the country despite knowing and despite whistleblowers and despite the outcry, girls quite literally dying as a result. I don’t think there is enough justice in the world to vindicate the systemic horror that these girls experienced.
I looked at my university's College of Ed department the other day. There's not a single male in the staff, and none of the women are over 40.
Absolutely screwed.
They're trying to fight trends like "looksmaxxing". Which is actual junk science.
And physically harmful.
With a grant from the Mental Research Institute, two psychology professors are creating M-Body, a novel intervention with the goal to redefi
“The latest trend for teenage boys is to take a hammer to their face to break their bones, so that they can have that jawline that’s really rugged-looking and that kind of jagged masculine look,” said Mary Pritchard, a Boise State psychology professor who has studied body image and eating disorders for nearly 25 years.
The press release actually calls out toxic male influencer-pushed standards.
Not traditional masculinity.
“There’s a lack of language for men’s body image,” Whipple said. “All of the language for eating disorders or eating disorder prevention and body image-related topics are all feminized. Even within the clinical field, there have been really feminized definitions of what an eating disorder is. It wasn’t until 2013 that men could be diagnosed with anorexia, because you had to lose your menstrual cycle to be qualified for that diagnosis.”
They're actually fighting misandry.
What do I keep saying about getting mad at headlines?
If a doctor proposed banning all antibiotics but refused to answer "What about sepsis?", you'd rightly walk out of the room.
Of course the ideal should be a world without prisons. In a perfect utopian future, we would have no need for cages because we would have successfully dismantled the root causes of crime, poverty, and harm. But this smug, dismissive refusal to engage with the grittiest realities of human behavior helps absolutely nothing and actively works against her goals.
It treats a foundational question of public safety as a tiresome "gotcha" rather than a deeply legitimate human concern.
When activists retreat into pure idealism and dismiss the public's valid fears about violent crime as unworthy of a response, they don't look visionary. They look condescending, elitist, and entirely disconnected from the reality of human nature.
So I read the rest of this comic and more of her work.
The underlying logic of this deflection relies on a false dichotomy - the idea that if you dare to ask how an abolitionist world handles a rapist or a murderer, you must be a blanket defender of mass incarceration.
Over here in reality, you can fully recognize that our current justice system is deeply flawed, broken, and failing survivors, while still demanding to know what replaces the physical containment of dangerous individuals.
To frame a question about immediate physical safety as a structural roadblock is an intellectual bait-and-switch. It assumes that anyone asking for a practical plan just "doesn't get it," when in reality they just want to know how you plan to keep their loved ones safe.
The comics series "Who's Left" is garbage.
Here's how it dismisses people who lived through the communist (authoritarian) regimes of the 20gh century: by calling them old and xenophobic.
And here's how it defends those regimes:
Speaking as a lifelong left-leaning liberal: this is tankie bullshit and it deserves your contempt.
Idealism is great. Pretending idealism is a suitable replacement for realism or pragmatism is idiocy.
I....
The reason it conjures images of gulags, bread lines, and violence is because those things actually happened. There are so many memoirs and histories about gulags out there. The comic is spitting in the face of the people who lived through that.
"i hate all radfems" and "i only like feminism when it caters to cis men" are interchangable.
Anyway I hate all radfems!!! Reblog if you hate all radfems!!!
Feminism is cancer.
Youre a fucking moron and i hope you get shot
Your boo's mean nothing, for I've seen what makes you cheer.

something that i find interesting about independent animation nowadays is that if you don't have studio/streamer backing, you have to release your work yourself on the internet, but you have to do it for free on the internet because virtually nobody is going to be willing to accept a paywall just for one original show, so what you have to do in order to make any money off of it is make all of your money from merchandising, but then this means that you show must be merchandisable and have very toyetic character designs that translate easily to plushies and whatnot, but then you also need to cater your show to people who are disproportionately inclined to buy merchandise like that in the first place so that your sales can be enough to sustain you, which means that even if you want to communicate complex or difficult ideas in your work, your independent animation project must attract (at least on a first impression) and retain viewers who are both very consumerist and very capable of rabid passion, which unfortunately has a single-circle shaped venn diagram with a lot of the most toxic fandom tendencies known to man, and this explains a lot of things about independent animation and its fandoms nowadays I think
Oh dear god I finally finished some fanart for the new episode!
It’s really scrappy but I just wanted it to exist. 😂 (I’ve been so busy freelancing lately, takes all my energy for fanart drawings).
god but I loved this episode! I am SO HAPPY seeing all the Caine angst, but I just had to draw him getting a hug.❤️🩹
My version of "doomscrolling" nowadays is just going to iNaturalist, browsing pictures of animals and fantasizing about where I would introduce them outside of their natural range if I was some kind of ecology-focused evil scientist. I do this when I'm depressed. I don't know if it helps.
Bring hyena to Texas put Texas in hyena paws humans can trust Texas to hyena pack yesss
How could I disagree with such a trustworthy source
animals i really want to introduce to the USA:
-red pandas in Indiana, Kentucky, and Ohio. they can live in those you-pick orchards and delight tourists, and in the winter the big ones can be harvested by the farmers for food and fur. america also has native bamboo, as well as plenty of escaped invasives.
-koalas in southern california. we already have a lot of feral eucalpytus in the state and it makes our wildfires way worse. let's put koalas in there too. coyotes can hunt them like dingos do.
-cheetahs in colorodo, wyoming, nebraska, and oklahoma. we had cheetahs here once, that's why pronghorns are so fast. let's give them something to really haul ass about.
-spotted hyenas in texas and new mexico. did you know there's actually a shit ton of oryx already roaming around new mexico? they were brought in for a game preserve. oryx can fight off lions, but spotted hyenas are actually superior pack hunters with some of the highest kill rates of large cooperative predators in the world. we might have a problem with ranchers, but like: fuck ranchers. they already decimated the mexican wolf populations. they deserve hyenas.
-pangolins. i would drop these guys in arizona honestly. everyone in arizona hates and fears fire ants. i think entire neighborhoods would throw ecstatic parades for pangolins (which smell much better than giant anteaters) at least until a pangolin dug straight through their pasteboard condo.
-new zealand's little penguin in louisiana. they burrow into mud and sand banks during the day and tolerate quite hot temperatures! i think they'd do fine, and louisiana is sliding into the gulf anyway. let's have penguins there. i'd also try them out in new england in case lousiana is just too swampy for them. i feel like new yorkers would go insane with pride over having penguins around. they would act like they invented the whole concept of penguins. we should let them.
-water buffalo. georgia and the carolinas. i just think it would give everyone there some interesting new problems.
-i firmly believe that asiatic elephants would do great in the southeastern united states. it's a subtropical climate that's only going to get swampier as things heat up, and there's plenty of kudzu and tall grass species for them to munch on. they're also smart enough to learn to navigate and negotiate with people, and to follow set routes around human farms rather than tromp through them, so disruption to existing human infrastructure would be minimal but occasionally hilarious. i think it would be so cool to have an american subspecies of elephant. if i ever win the lottery this IS what i am going to be doing with my millions.
Animals I would introduce to each continent:
Europe: Wombat
We've had enough of your fucking rabbits and foxes. Here, have a huge badger type thing that can destroy cars with its arse. It'll outcompete your badgers and where will you be then. Haha.
Asia: Wombat
We've had enough of Indian camels ruining our deserts. Here's something to ruin your terrain for a change.
North America: Wombat
We've had enough of United States tourists with no manners. Here's some tourists with even less manners.
South America: Wombat
WE'VE HAD ENOUGH OF YOUR FUCKING CANE TOADS. WOMBATS FOR YOU.
Africa: Wombat
The feral ostriches aren't actually all that much of a problem right now, but in revenge for the problem they will probably become in the future, have some fucking wombats.
Antarctica: Wombat
I'll take it right back home and warm it up I promise I. I just really want to see a wombat walk and dig in the snow.
Australia: Wombat
The populations of all three species of wombat are dangerously low.
see while the first set of animals is really selling me on the concept of an ecologically based supervillain, Derin's wombat themed villain is showing up MUCH clearer in my minds eye
I laughed to hard at this fucking thing.
Bitch!!!
That's hittin' a guy where it hurts.
she broke up with HIM.
This isn't revenge this is just malice.
There are many people who don’t share this sentiment, but I have an appreciation for when a fanfic is so separated from canon that it could’ve easily been its own original novel, and yet the author was only ever going to put that much energy into it if their favourite characters got to be there
I think there’s a difference between “the author stripped the media of everything it had to replace it with something easy” and “the author thought up a concept they really really like and are bestowing it upon the character like a medal”
widowtracer kinda funny in that it was uber popular yuri that lowkey got nuked by one of the parties being confirmed gay and getting a canon slop gf in the background
I...
Buddy.
Widowtracer is alive and well and if you are not aware of that fact i can only say you are very unaware of the porn community's take on these two.
