it’s finals season, you know what that means

I think a great way to improve communication with kids (and adults) is to make every yes or no question a this or that question.

I started doing it when after brain surgery my husband had trouble forming responses to questions for a while, and realized that the habit was helping my students engage more truthfully with me.

Some examples:

Yes/No: “Did you clean up your room like I told you?”

This/That: “Did you clean up already, or do you still need to do that?”

Yes/No: “Are you going to sit quietly?”

This/That: “Are you ready to sit and do our quiet activity, or do you need some time by yourself first?”

Yes/No: “Are you doing anything fun for your birthday?”

This/That: “Are you having a party on your birthday, or are you going to relax?”

I think many children (and adults!) are averse to telling adults “No,” especially when a command is implied. (“Did you clean your room?” “Are you going to sit quietly?” Hmmm if I say ‘no’ I will be in trouble with the adult.) So they are actually pretty likely to just lie and say what they think you want to hear.

Presenting a this or that question provides an alternative to lying, a ‘no, but’ scenario where they are presented with the reasonable consequences of a No (“if you’re not ready to sit quietly, you cannot do our quiet activity with us yet.”)

One of my favorite little bits of the Penacony segment in HSR has got to be Ratio doing the whole setup betrayal thing and the story being like "oh dun dun DUN did he stab Aventurine in the back" only to almost immediately refute that with him revealing not only did he do it as part of Aventurine's elaborate Scheme but also he's kind of sulky that he had to play the traitor at all.

He's just like well I did it >:( >:( >:( you better have some kind of back up plan >:( >:( >:( I don't like the idea of this blowing up in your face and then I had a hand in your ignominious demise >:( >:( >:( take this mysterious item that is really just a nice note I wrote for you so that you don't lose yourself to despair in the infinite void >:( >:( >:( if you even care >:( >:( >:(

The actual plot twist is that Ratio has probably doodled hearts in a notebook about this relationship.

vampires are so full of shit. "oh the human race is beneath us, you're just livestock to us" I don't think you know what livestock is. do you feed us? care for us? protect us from predators? no. you just slink around dark alleys and ambush people. that's not what a higher being does. that's a bottom feeder. a parasite. karate punches your head off

I heard this metaphor growing up, and in my case, it backfired supremely, because I went out into my neighbor's backyard where a rose bush was growing, and the one I tested had like 30 petals (it was yellow, but definitely a rose of some kind), and as a very logical lass, I came to the conclusion that you could have premarital sex AT LEAST ten times before your future husband would even notice something was up. Moral of the story? Test your metaphors on the weirdest and most neurodivergent child you know before writing your weird religious propaganda.

This is really not okay.

I think some people fail to realize that men can be sexually assaulted, too, and not just by other men. This girl shoves him against the wall and slaps him three fucking times when he pushes her away. Heck, he has to push her away twice before she backs off for a moment. Then she goes right back to kissing him.

If the genders were reversed, everyone on this site would be flipping a shit. And if anyone dares to tell me that it’s different when a girl does it to a guy, I will personally write you a three-page essay on why it is still not okay.

[irishily]

I’m just going to REBLOG this all the fucking time

[thatspencerinthesky]

I SWEAR I WILL ALWAYS REBLOG THIS.

[peoniespoppiesandowlsohmy]

This is not okay. Gender does not matter. Forcing someone will never be okay. Never.

[twofacetoo]

I’m looking at every single one of my 290+ followers right now, and I’m expecting you to reblog this.

[art-angelsz-deactivated20170721]

Hey I hope you all reblog this AND DON’T IGNORE THIS.

[cisnowflake]

Women can be just as abusive as men, despite what society tells you.

[illogical-bullshit]

This is the post that brought my attention to the abuse of men. I hope it can help someone else.

[wild-cat-144-deactivated2024022]

Someone who follows me better reblog this.

[conorpmaynard]

SAY IT LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK!!!

[sylveonroyalty]

P REACH!!!

[helly-watermelonsmellinfellon]

She hits him and still thinks she’ll get some? Abusive AND dumb!

[z7rkive]

If you see this post then you need to STOP SCROLLING because you can look at the cute cat pictures later. REBLOG and spread the word because this is VERY IMPORTANT. Everyone should be aware that forcing someone and making them do things without their consent is wrong regardless of their gender.

[fallingofechoes-deactivated2022]

not only does she slap him but she kisses him?? that is sexual assault right there.

[goldenm00se]

Reblog👏my👏children👏bc👏this👏shit👏is👏really👏fucking👏real!!👏

[noimnotafagsilly]

I will personally punch that bitch if I ever see her

[kaispeakshermind]

Why is tumblr telling me I’ve already reblogged this, I swear I’ve never seen it before

Regardless, I’m reblogging it now bc it needs to be shared

[figlasagna-deactivated20211212]

This is super important. Anybody can be the abuser, and it can be more subtle that that. Always be careful.

[make-loki-happy-again]

THIS IS SO IMPORTANT

[allthingsunh0ly]

reblog this shit guys

[tickles-and-fluff]

WHOEVER DOESNT REBLOG THIS IM UNFOLLOWING

[made-by-jade-222-deactivated202]

When people say men are sexually assaulted too, they’re not kidding. Why a lot (but not all) of women immediately take that as deeming their experience as unimportant, I’ll never know. No, sweetie. It’s called, it happens to other people. Men, trans-men, trans-women, non-binaries, you name it. When someone admits their struggle and their experience, that doesn’t downgrade yours. So stop using that as an excuse to belittle other people who are/have been in the same boat. Assault is assault, no matter who it’s done too.

Everyone’s experience is valid.

Not just yours.

[sofimoon27-deactivated20240227]

Assault is assault.

[rawhoneybliss]

The person who reblogged this from you is rooting for your success.

[sandersstudies]

Hey

If your anxiety, depression, or executive dysfunction is making you scroll endlessly on your phone or laptop

Stop

It’s okay, I’m not mad. It happens to everybody sometimes. It’s frustrating, isn’t it? But it’s time to get up now.

Don’t worry! You don’t have to do that

One Thing,

just get yourself a glass of water for now, or brush your teeth, or pet a cat.

After you’ve done that, maybe you could make yourself a nice cocoa, or open a window. If you’re feeling really crazy you might finish a homework problem, or respond to an e-mail, or wash a dish.

But no matter what, if you get up then you’re moving forward, and I’m

super proud of you!

I know you’re having a difficult time, but I’m really glad you’ve made it this far, and I love you!

Have a nice day my friend, I’ll see you soon, but right now it’s time for you to get up.

[sandersstudies]

@ every single person who reblogged this post by telling me that did something productive, from wiggling their toes to taking a drink to actually doing homework: I’m so so proud. Keep being strong, friends.

And if you reblogged even though it didn’t work last time, here’s hoping it will this time! I’m proud of you, too. 

[deadinparadice]

Please, Please, Please Stay Hydrated

If you pinch the skin on the back of your hand and it remains tented several seconds after you let go then you are dehydrated and need to consume more water.

I know you want to stay alive long enough to see your hard work pay off, so please make sure you're drinking enough water.

Diet drinks are easier and can be more tempting than water, but the caffeine and artifical sweeteners can sap your body of retained water needed for basic functions.

Try and have 2-3 bottles of water a day. I know you can do it! You're working so hard and I'm proud of you.
