I want to tell you something about the Indigenous canadian experience.

I work in a job where I meet different people every day, mostly other natives, of all ages.

If you work with the public, how often does someone come in and tell you that they were abducted by the government as a child, had their clothes stolen and their hair shaved, were forced into a concentration camp, and beaten into religious submission.

I hear it every other day.

People think of the residential school system as ancient history. The reality is that most First Nations families lost their children to the schools. A good chunk of those kids never came back.

Those survivors are still living. They're not even old, I'm talking people in their 40s who are in treatment for their c-PTSD.

Hearing these stories puts a lot of my small worries into perspective.

adults every generation when the children that were born 10 years ago don't know what was going on 15 years ago

"my son tried to introduce me to Green Day's music after finding it out on youtube" he knew about Green Day for one day and immediately told you about it but you let that young boy reach puberty without telling him about the best worst pop punk band of all time. i am on his side.

I hate when ppl act shocked that rappers know "high brow" cultural references. It's so condescending "this dumb black guy knows about art" as if they're not the main producers of modern culture.

Something I didn't expect when starting to work with LGBT+ kids was how often these kids being supported, made my coworkers feel comfortable coming out.

I've had 3 ""straight"" coworkers now join in on my meetings, all of whom ended up sharing their real identity with me and the kids within a few meetings.

I read a lot of scholarship on the impact of kids having gender and sexuality support, but never any research on the inverse. Just something I've been thinking about thats been making me feel really proud of my work lately

If the point is for the children to learn, then why wouldn’t you give them as many chances as it takes? What is the benefit of telling a child “you failed and that’s the end of it”?

[ferrous-princess]

I’m 25, and in my trade school, our tests aren’t judgement, they’re testing to see what we’ve retained, and identify what we’re missing.

If I weld a joint, and the CWI comes up behind me with a radiographic test for it and finds that I just laid hot metal on cold metal or it looks like a sponge inside, you know what’s gonna happen? You think they’re gonna give me a low score and tell me to move on? Fuck no. They’re gonna hand me a grinder and tell me to take it out and put it in right.

When there’s actual work to be done, we don’t leave it at the first attempt if that attempt was shit. We don’t leave a trail of “what’s done is done.” If it takes you four attempts, that’s what it takes, and next time it’ll take fewer because you learned how to do it right after the third time.

School, as it’s set up, with unforgiving deadlines and single attempt high stakes tests are building a shitty work ethic. It says “I tried once, and that’s all you’re getting.” It sets you up to leave a trail of cut losses and barely or unfinished projects as you scramble to get something, anything, turned in before the deadline.

And we wonder now why nothing works at launch.

What Happens When A Country Bans Spanking?

Researchers look at countries that have prohibited corporal punishment for kids and their rate of youth violence.

Now a new study looking at 400,000 youths from 88 countries around the world suggests such bans are making a difference in reducing youth violence. It marks the first systematic assessment of whether an association exists between a ban on corporal punishment and the frequency in which adolescents get into fights. 

[puolikarhu]

[F]or both boys and girls, [prof. Elizabeth Gershoff] said, “We found [spanking] linked to more aggression, more delinquent behavior, more mental health problems, worse relationships with parents, and putting the children at higher risk for physical abuse from their parents.”

“People often ask: Why didn’t you look for positive aspects?” she continued. “My answer is: We did, and there were none. We see consistently that the more children are spanked, the more behavioral problems they have in the years ahead.”

[quasi-normalcy]

Once again worth emphasizing that this is pretty much the exact opposite of what authoritarians said would happen

[moniquill]

This is an important study in the same way that many ‘water is wet’ studies are; it provides hard data that can be referred back to.

But yeah, startlingly enough if you don’t use violence to control children, they’re less likely to try to use violence to control others.

[homoquartz]

hang in there. here’s some good news.

[homoquartz]

Here’s some more.

Y’all know I won’t lie about the state of things. People ARE doing the good work out there. Join if you can. Keep hope.

I hate when people say “I’m against abortion except for if the pregnancy threatens the life of the mother” every single pregnancy threatens the life of the pregnant person. We’ve gotten too far removed from that, taken for granted that pregnancy is safe. It is not. Pregnancy and puerperal complications have been a fairly common cause of death throughout history. Even now, maternal mortality is on the rise in the US, the maternal mortality rate varies wildly across the states and it is disproportionately higher for Black women. Being pregnant is getting more dangerous, not less dangerous.
