Step 3: write it all down
It’s not science if you don’t record your findings
Step 4: Repeat the fucking around in front of people so they believe you
But if this fucking around was done by someone before you
You’re fucked

why are men absolved of all responsibility for their own actions???? society raises women and girls to either blame themselves or other women for the mistakes that the men in their lives make. Men are responsible for their own infidelity... no one else is. A woman has the right to post any photo of herself no matter how “revealing” it may be. She is not responsible for the men who choose to look at them.

My 7 year old son was shot down by his 1st grade teacher
The american public education system in a nutshell tho
My third grade teacher actually had a conversation with my mom that I was reading to well and told her to stop having me read at home
My first grade teacher said that it was problematic that I was reading ahead of the rest of the kids in my grade and asked my parents to stop letting me read Harry Potter.
My fourth grade teacher thought it was wrong for my dad to be teaching me complex math because it fascinated me.
My elementary school music teacher hated the way my piano teacher taught me, and how I was more advanced than many of her students, and so told me, in front of my peers and my mother, that I was not good enough to participate in the state solo festival. She would not give me the form. We had to procure it from the district instead. She also hated how I excelled at reading and playing music for the recorder, and so she refused to give me my “belts” (colored beads to signify our level) and humiliated me in front of the class repeatedly.
My eighth grade algebra teacher used to fail me on take home tests because I didn’t solve problems exactly the way she showed us in class; I used methods that we had learned for other types of problems that also applied to these. She took points off my tests because I didn’t bring a calculator even though I got 100% without it, because I was able to do it by hand. I had to call my father, who is an engineer, down to the school to shout her down and give me back my A in the class.
My 10th grade Spanish teacher yelled at me in front of the class numerous times because she didn’t like the way I took notes; she thought that since I didn’t write every word off the slide, I wasn’t getting it all down. I had to explain to her that people who have taken advanced courses, like AP or IB classes, know that in a fast-paced learning environment you need to take quick shorthand notes that contain the necessary information rather than wasting time writing every word. She almost gave me detention.
My 11th grade English teacher gave me a poor mark on my first short essay because she believed that I was looking up unnecessarily complex words in a thesaurus to try and get better marks. The phrases in question: “laced with expletives” and “bombarded”. She wouldn’t hear any defense from me.
My 11th grade history teacher failed me on an essay about the 1950s because I misread the prompt. Except the prompt wasn’t words; it was a political cartoon. One of the figures was clearly president Eisenhower, but the other I couldn’t place. My teacher would not tell us who it was. I labelled him as the governor of Little Rock Arkansas during the integration period, and wrote an essay about that subject. My teacher said that no, it was Joseph McCarthy, and that there was a small picture of the man in our textbook and therefore I should have recognized him instantly. Half the class, apparently, did not.
The American school system is not here to educate us or to encourage us to learn; it’s here to keep us in line and silent. It’s here to keep us from deviating and being our own people and forming our own ideas. Don’t let it win.
i had a very illuminating conversation with a guy about 10 years younger than me that really put this change into perspective, which is this:
i have a very distinct memory, in my childhood, of the moment of my disillusionment. i believed that grown-ups knew what they were doing, and that the things that seemed so obvious to me had to be obvious to them, too (things like DON’T GO TO WAR IN IRAQ, for example). i believed that, and had that belief pulled out from under me, so my disillusionment comes with a sense of betrayal.
a mere 10 years younger than me, this guy has no such moment or memory. he never believed grown-ups were fundamentally competent, or good, or reasonable. he never lived in a world where things didn’t feel constantly careening wildly out of control. there’s no betrayal in his sense that the government has failed him - of course it has, it was always going to. he doesn’t remember a time pre-bush, or pre-9/11, or pre-iraq war. this is just what the world has always looked like for him. so it’s not really a sense of “disillusionment,” actually - his generation never had any illusions to lose. they’ve just been in this world so long it’s all they’ve ever known.

My team just caught what could be a very interesting case!
We were contacted by a woman whose house sits on old cemetery property and she claims to be experiencing what she believes to be demonic activity. I don't believe in demons and personally, from her descriptions, I'm dismissing most of that as being simply sleep paralysis and hypnopompic/hypnagogic hallucinations. But some of the other stuff is interesting, like shadow figures in the cemetery and a girl in a blue dress and pigtails who sits on her daughter's bed staring at her. She and her daughter have both seen the girl.
I'm censoring identifying info, but you can see here that the house is actually on the cemetery property:
There is a small wooded area separating the house and the actual graves:
So last night I was digging more into the history of the home and cemetery and I discovered something VERY interesting! I'm going to just post screenshots of what I sent my friend who is joining us for this investigation (again, censored for privacy of our client)...
This case was pretty major, it's even been on Forensic Files and other true-crime shows. I can't believe it's actually connected to this random case we got. Our investigation will take place August 8th. I've got more research to do in the meantime.
This case suddenly got really weird, I can't wait for August 8th! I'm going to focus on the girl and the cemetery shadow figures and let my teammates deal with the "demonic" claims.
@forthegothicheroine WOW!
It was supposed to come out this summer! It’s not fair!

this movie is excellent and everyone should watch it.
