Here's the thing about homeschooling that I think non-homeschooled kids don't and can't understand. You can have the best parents on the planet with the best intentions on the planet and homeschool will still seriously fuck you up. There is no way to do it ethically. I know because I basically had the best possible homeschooling experience.

My parents pulled me for the fourth grade, and I was homeschooled until the end of high school. Nine entire years. They pulled me from the public schools for a perfectly reasonable reason — my mental health was in the toilet and I needed to be away from other kids who might hurt me as they had spent all of my third grade year doing. My mom has a fucking PhD in neuroscience and tutors math professionally. She was, during the ten years that my siblings and I were homeschooled, the best, kindest, most caring, understanding, lovely teacher you could ask for.

But I'm still broken. That's the thing about homeschool. You can have the best experience possible in homeschool and still come out a fundamentally broken person. My social development stopped at the age of 10. I'm a 22 year old adult woman with the social skills of a 10 year old. That's not to say that that COULDN'T have happened in public school, but being homeschooled only made it more of a certainty. Both of my siblings and I have fewer coping strategies on average than our peers with similar neurodivergencies because we basically did not live in the real world for a decade during key developmental years.

Don't ban homeschooling because of the religious nuts. There are plenty of them. Hell, I KNEW plenty of them. But there are also plenty of quote unquote "good" homeschool families. Ones that do everything you would hope the model homeschool family does. And they are still hurting their children, even if unintentionally, because homeschooling is an inhrently traumatic experience. It's isolating. For seven entire years of my life, I had no friends. Not because I was a social outcast, but because I didn't even SEE anybody regularly enough. But, nonetheless, I knew people. You generally do if you get involved in the community.

Ban homeschooling because it breaks and utterly destroys everyone who goes through it.

Everyone.

I'm sorry, Lauren. I'm sorry, Kade. I'm sorry to the boy whose name I can no longer remember. I'm sorry that I survived and you didn't.

Homeschooling was probably the best possible way for me to get educated, given my particularly blend of neurodivergence: It still messed me up terribly bad, and I was one of the luckiest ones. For most kids it was far, far worse.

I agree 100%

The issue of trans women being sent to men's prisons isn't brought up as being a monstrous thing because of the misgendering, it's monstrous because we're sent there to be legally sex trafficked.

That's what V-coding is. That is why they are so adamant about sending trans women to men's prisons, because sex trafficking trans women within the men's prison system is an essential part of that system. Being misgendered by this isn't even an issue that's on our radar!

This was back when I I used to dress slightly more masculinely (if you can call a button-up shirt paired with skin-tight jeans and heeled booties masculine lol).

Shoutout to the "We can always tell" crowd never being able to tell and ending up being gender affirming :)

Every time I make a post speaking negatively about the present GOP or insinuate that the Democratic Party might be the lesser of the two evils we are forced to decide between, immediately someone shows up to say ‘both sides bad though’. Like. Okay. And? And what are you going to do about it? Refuse to participate in democracy just because you’re waiting for the revolution? Let them both do whatever? I got so much shit during the election when I was trying to encourage people to vote for Kamala and look where we are now. Honestly? I will always choose the lesser of two evils and let there be blood on my hands instead of standing back and allowing evil to take its course. I’ve made a choice, not a permanent one, less of an endorsement of the Democratic Party and more of an acknowledgment of the fascist Christian nationalist views of the current GOP. Both sides bad, both sides similar, the left in America is more like the center right in a lot of other countries, I’m aware of this, it is important to attempt to minimize harm until the problem can be solved.

b'elanna is, to me, the best star trek character. or one of the best. she is what i think about when i think about Star Trek Characters. i think that everything in star trek prior to b'elanna was just an introduction. i'll watch admiral kirk in "the undiscovered country" frothing at the mouth with hate for the klingons and think to myself oh what a great b'elanna foreshadowing. decades later she will cry defeated over herself and her unborn child.... because of that same hate and prejudice and its imprint on her life.

but really isn't this the beauty of the Franchise. that a media comes forwards and suggests to us a possibility of b'elannas... and then a follow-up comes along showing them to us. i think there is a lot of star trek b'elannas yet to be discovered in the star trek universe. they're not showing them to me but i know they're there.
