while i'm still kicking the hornets nest a bit here, I just want to say that I think it's funny that 'gifted kid burnout' has become such a widespread sentiment that people who were not in gifted programs but still received pressure to perform academically identify with it, and yet none of these people have figured it out that that children being pressured, physically and emotionally abused by teachers and parents, made to tie their self worth to their grades, made to think of their classmates as competition, etc are not unique experiences to the higher achieving but intended experiences for all children as they are digested by the school system

what’s important to note and missing from the “headline” tweet is that they simultaneously constructed additional good public transit to the public transit already in the city (bus rapid transit, train stations). Just removing highway alone isn’t going to make traffic better, the bigger part of the story is that they improved public transportation. And the current mayor wants to do more - cyclist lanes and reinstate a tram system

on the first day of classes professors will usually ask us to fill out a little notecard with our name, pronouns, major, and email. one dude in one of my history classes was very clearly one of those Anti-SJW Bullshit People and went “Uhhh pronouns? Ha, what’s that supposed to mean? I’m clearly a dude I don’t understand what you’re asking” and the professor just looked him in the eye and went “If you don’t know what a pronoun is then maybe a college level course isn’t for you” and i think about her every single day of my life

God I fucking love being a monk at the Monastery of Lindisfarne on this fine morning of June 8th, 793. I love looking at all the gold and silver objects and alive monks that live here.
