someone at work told me 'oh, just ask chat' when i raised a casual question and i asked what she meant and she said 'you know, chatgpt' like im an idiot. and i should get an award for the fact that i did not start snarling and biting and killing

[wordfather]

i know everyones justifiably mad right now but do you wanna get madder? i work at a school. a teacher said this to me.

[wordfather]

im glad this version of the post is making rounds now. the amount of casual ai use i see some teachers do these days is disgusting and they genuinly dont see the problem with making school assignments for children using chatgbt, and even encourage them to use it themselves. school is about teaching kids how to think and they're taking that away from them. this is a sickness and we should be calling it out more so people realize the damage they're doing

[wordfather]

i subbed a 7th grade class a few months ago and i gave them a written assignment and they had to use their textbook to find answers and weren't allowed to copy the text, they had to rewrite the answers in their own words. a simple thing i was taught as a kid. i banned the use of ipads and phones for the duration of the class.

50% of the kids couldn't find the many of the answers, even though they only had one chapter to read. the other 45% didnt know how to rewrite the answers in their own words. only 5% finished the assignment properly. they asked me repeatedly if they could ask chatgbt. almost all of their handwriting was on 1-4th grade levels. i struggled to read most of it.

this isnt their fault. the school system is failing them. the adults are failing them. 'we're evolving with the times' we are losing our ability to think for ourselves, and its all thanks to the system being set up. we should all be angry. why aren't we more angry

While, as someone from a Jewish heritage, I am very appreciative of the representation of Jesus as not-white, black would not be a good description. Jesus, in the New Testament is reported as having been born in Judea (modern day southern Israel). This would have made Jesus look something like this:

Brown skin, bushy hair (and beard!) and big nose. Although many archaelogists and historians now believe that, had he existed, he’d have been born closer to Nazareth, Israel, the above picture would definitely be much more accurate that the one in the original post. So yes, let’s advocate for Jesus to be represented as non white, BUT let’s also remember that he was a middle eastern Jew and black would also be a historically and geographically innacurate description of Jesus.

If you are outside India, I am practically begging you to reblog this

Last week India passed a blatantly anti-Muslim law that seeks to naturalise millions of immigrants, except if they are Muslims.

In August of this year, India revoked the autonomous status of the Kashmir region, putting a communication blackout on the state. Kashmir has entered the fifth month of no internet and heaviest militarisation of any region in the world.

India is a secular, socialist republic. This bill is anti-constitutional and against the principles on which the country was founded

Naturally, there have been protests across the country. At the forefront of the protests are students from India's public universities.

Police opened fire on peaceful protestors in Jamia Milia Islamia University in Delhi, and Aligarh Muslim University in Uttar Pradesh.

Ever since then, the ruling fascist Hindu nationalist political party, the BJP, has been doctoring videos and sending fake news all over the internet, discrediting protestors and labelling them as terrorists

India has already seen too much religious violence, please please signal boost this, call your representatives, make them aware, get them to make statements. The only thing India and itd dictator Modi care about is its image abroad

[rmftjin]

And that is just a small part of what is happening in india. The indian army under the orders of the bjp has imposed a curfew on the indian occupied kashmir since AUGUST. Thats almost FIVE MONTHS of continued blockade of food, live saving drugs and basically every human right.

And the valley of kashmir (the indian occupied part) is facing continued blockade and suspension of internet, mobile and landline services and closure of TV channels. Even the publication of local newspapers is suspended under the orders of indian army.

Pm of pakistan imran khan has made speeches in THE UNO regarding this matter but obviously, in vain. (And this issue of kashmir has been going on for 72 years now, mind you. But it was never this serious before)

At this point, its not even the indo pak dispute over the area. Its a question of basic human rights. The people of kashmir dont have food and water. FOOD AND WATER? And that valley is basically like the coldest part of india and pakistan and the people dont have even electricity and gas to use heaters. Schools, offices, shops basically everything is closed at this point. Quoting PM Khan, "in the western world, if this was done to an animal (let alone MILLIONS of HUMAN BEINGS), the whole world would have (rightfully) rioted. But the biggest most powerful nations in the world are not even trying to solve the problem because guess what, the kashmiris are muslims.

Pakistan has made multiple efforts to try and mantain peace over the area through talks and stuff but the bjp (aka pm modi) is not even listening. Thousands of people have been killed, and the growing tension in both the armies can cause a nuclear war in the area cuz both countries are nuclear powers.

And im not saying all of this is caused by the bjp government, but roughly 50% of this is bjp's fault.

And that is just a small part of what is happening in kashmir for the last 5 months (and lets be honest, 72 years).

And

Do not even get me started on what is happening inside india. That country is a fucking slaughter house right now just because of religious differences. And under pm modi, the situation is getting worse and worse.

Just posting on social media and reblogging stuff wont help, but at least it will help people know about the "oh so perfect india" they all love and adore, because that country is a fucking mess right now.

If men stopped working…the world would continue on.

If women stopped working, then things would get ugly.

[algo-hermoso]

What?

[tabathagfitzgerald]

there has been an instance where this happened. it was 1975 and icelandic women decided not to work for one day.  working as in cooking, cleaning, taking care of the children, doing chores and so on, not only “not showing up to your workplace”. women did nothing that day, except showing up in reykjavik and protesting for gender equality, equal pay and equal representation in parliament, you know, cool stuff.  you know what happened? havoc. men were left with food to cook and children they never took care of to pick up from kindergarden and entertain for the day. they went en masse to the food shops buying sausages because they could cook nothing else, they had to bond with children they never spent more than a couple hours a day with. they struggled combining their work day and the domestic tasks they had to sort out. and this just for one day. iceland in 1975 stopped working and things indeed got ugly. so ugly that women in the following decades became woke AF and soon it happened that women became president, took half of the seats in parliament and achieved one of the best living environments in the world. is your astonishment solved now?

one thing I’m grateful to my mom for is telling me from a very young age that if a man ever says he’ll kill me if I don’t do what he says, that I should fight and die. that it would be better to die than to be brought to a second location, it would be better to die instantly than live a little longer after god knows how much violation. i know that other people’s moms gave different advice, to be quiet so you can live and get away. little girls all got some kind of advice on what to do, though, huh? like… WHEN a man wants to hurt you. it’s surreal to think about how this shadow affects the landscape of girlhood

[myothercarisauhaul-original]

YES my mother said the same thing. Plus bite and scratch to get DNA, scream that you don’t know him, cause the biggest scene you can….but DO NOT get in a vehicle/go anywhere with him because “you have to assume that if you don’t get away right then, then you won’t get away at all”.

[appropriately-inappropriate]

Your mom was right. That is standard self-defence advice — fight, scratch, scream, aim for testicles, eyeballs and and the throat. Use your teeth, your nails, your elbows, whatever you can. Maul the fucker.

If someone grabs you and intends to move you towards a second location, fight like your life depends on it:

Because it does.

[inqorporeal]

And in case you think, “I’m smaller than him, I can’t do shit!” my trainer likes to tell this one:

Think of a cat. Cute, fluffy, adorable, right? Much smaller than you. Imagine picking up that cat… and then having a friend dump a bucket of water over it. Hell no, right? You’d get straight-up shredded. Even a big solid guy wouldn’t want to do that.

You don’t have to be the dude. You just gotta be the cat.

[mehmehmehetc]

You don’t have to be the dude. You just gotta be the cat. 

Thank you for this, I’m taking this with me in all walks of life.

[ruby-white-rabbit]

Can reach the eyes? Stab and scoop them from his sockets. Reach his balls? Crush and twist. Hand over mouth? Fingers are now baby carrots. Chomp chomp

If you’re on a bike, cling to it. Make it harder for them to snatch you because now they have a bike to deal with as well. Be embarrassing. Make a fool of yourself to make scene. Scream bloody murder the whole time you’re able.

Show no mercy for you will most likely be shown none as well. Go down in a rage. Make them regret even thinking of considering you.

[dovewithscales]

No one is intimidating right after they’ve been poked in the eyes.

If he’s got both hands on you he’s not defending vulnerable spots. You’ve either got at least one hand or your teeth and legs free and it takes 8 pounds of pressure to do serious damage to a throat.

Do not be quiet. Do not fight fair. Do not hold back. If you’re being attacked and someone’s trying to make you move, whatever’s gonna happen if they get what they want is worse than whatever’s gonna happen if you maim or kill somebody and get away.

[thesanityclause]

I loved in one of those “I Survived” stories a woman was being attacked by a man and she suddenly realized “This doesn’t have to be a fair fight” and just went batshit on him. Also kudos to my badass mom who also always taught me to go fucking feral, even if a man was holding a gun to me, because it’s better to die fighting and your family to know immediately what happened to you, then to disappear and no one ever finds your body. 

[captain-narava-felidae-riggs]

Learn from my Mom’s cat Miss Kitty, who will fuck you up if you touch her without permission.

[shadowphoenixrider]

Ears are nice targets. Smash them into their head, or twist those fuckers like you want them to come off.

The strongest muscles in your body are your jaws, and if anything is in range of your teeth BITE. Bite like you want your teeth to meet. A good thing about human mouths is they’re full of bacteria, and if you manage to break skin, you will almost certainly give the perp a nasty infection.

Whilst germ warfare won’t save your life at the time, consider it as a reminder NOT to fuck with you.

If your mouth isn’t full of flesh, SCREAM. Your attacker does not want attention, and you do. You’ll start to push the scales in your favour as the likelihood of witnesses intervening increases. Like most predators, your attacker is trying to pick a fight they can win - they do not want to suddenly take on another person who has been attracted by the commotion.

Remember; you’re fighting to survive - defer to basic instincts and rip shit up. Your ancestors will be proud.

[zanabism-deactivated20200529]

if you’re not committed to antiracism, you’re not a good doctor. 

I remember when I had pneumonia I was so sick and exhausted and in pain that I couldn’t get out of bed for *days* — I eventually pushed myself to walk across campus to the doctor’s office (it took me literally 45 minutes to walk there bc I had to walk so slow) and when I got there…the doctor made it seem I was only trying to get out of writing an exam lol. I was too embarrassed to tell her that I was going to be withdrawing from the class anyway bc I hadn’t had the energy to get to lectures at all that semester. She lectured me about how she sees students do this all the time and she can’t take a risk in trusting me when the only thing that was wrong with me was exhaustion. “We all have off days” is what she said lolol. 

I was so humiliated at her insinuation that I eventually just nodded when she said it “didn’t seem like I had any issues” and went back home. It wasn’t until I fainted walking down the hallway like 4 feet outside my apartment that I started panicking and called someone to take me to the hospital. When I got there even the receptionists looked genuinely pale to see how hard it was for me to walk and how much it hurt to breathe or talk.

It would take *6* different antibiotics for the really advanced pneumonia to finally die out, the last of which was delivered intravenously in my arm for 10 continuous days — I still have the scar where the initial IV was and I have another mark on my wrist. I *literally* couldn’t walk or lay on my back for 8-9 weeks. I would sleep sitting up with pillows on a chair and when my breath would involuntarily deepen as I started to fall asleep I would jerk awake bc of the sharp pain my lung where the pneumonia was.

That same doctor who thought I was lying about being sick would then call me like 34 times in a row when my blood test results came to her office and the hospital sent her my chest x rays lolol, obviously worried about looking bad and having called me a liar and sending me home when I had such a serious bout of pneumonia.

In the 3rd year of my premed degree I would learn that doctors in North America — and specifically white women in nursing lol — often see south Asian women as malingerers who exaggerate their pain. In a UK study there were neonatal nurses who went so far as to say that south Asian women also lack maternal instincts, care more about their pain meds than their child and “can’t handle” child birth.

Yosif al Hasnawi — an Iraqi Canadian teen — died at the hands of two paramedics who did not believe he had been shot and claimed he was “acting” when he was actually internally bleeding. They made him walk to the ambulance with a bullet in his stomach, from which he would later die after not being transported to the hospital for 38 minutes.

Just yesterday My cousin, totally healthy, just died of a brain hemorrhage and often complained about ongoing migraines that could’ve been telltale signs of hypertension that were totally ignored by her doctor for years.

and just a day before that Kim porter who was otherwise healthy just died of pneumonia while having expressed her symptoms and pain to doctors for days — I would say that I’m shocked by this but the implications faced by brown people and racism in the healthcare system is 10x worse for black women who are often seen as liars and in it for the meds as a result of historical anti blackness and systemic rejection of black patients’ pain.

doctors are literally trained to perceive racialized people as malingerers who are trying to scam for meds or medical attention instead of people in pain. It’s 100% systemic and actually integrated into medical education.

the moon is a lesbian and she hates terfs

[queerfemme]

the moon told me personally that she thinks you’re obnoxious and hopes you never get a girlfriend

[q-is-a-letter]

I have a theory that the moon IS a trans woman cause she’s always associated with feminine things but when we saw the craters that look like a face we called it “The Man In The Moon”. She’s a woman with a face that people may perceive as male. She’s a beautiful trans woman

[queerfemme]

[excalibelle]

the moon is a beautiful trans woman who hates terfs and shows her face every night to remind other trans women they are beautiful and strong and loved and important and wonderful and that terfs and their opinions dont matter

[hiranyaksha-deactivated20220613]

I wanna add to this if it’s ok?? In Hindu mythology, Chandra, the moon, was originally thought of as a male deity. However, as time went on, symbolism involving the moon and the name “Chandra” itself became identified with femininity, with beautiful girls being described as having “moon-like faces,” with their dark, long hair reminding lovers of the midnight sky, and names like “Nilaa” (”moon” in Tamil) and “Indu” (in Sanskrit) are now pretty much now completely girl names! 

AlsO Chandra is married to 27 wives, who are all stars. The moon is a trans lesbian and is gay for all the stars in the sky.

idk what shit-eating truscum needs to hear this, but your rhetoric directly harms people with culturally-specific genders. i’m native and two-spirit, that label describes my gender and my attraction. i use they/them pronouns and your “nonbinaries and cringey stargender trenders aren’t valid” bullshit is getting old. our languages were demonized and erased, our gender and attraction labels along with them. my experiences with dysphoria exist because of colonialist ideas of gender. we have been forced into arbitrary ‘male’ and ‘female’ categories by colonizers for centuries and truscum rhetoric perpetuates racist colonialist violence against natives.

your experiences are not universal, you’re not forwarding justice for trans people, and you’re definitely not an ally to natives or other people of color. you’re just a fucking colonizer.
