Don't Stay in School

I can't remember feeling so passionate whilst writing something in ages. I absolutely love a lot of the subjects I mention in this - astronomy, particle physics, pure maths... but I hate that everyone is forced to learn them. It should be a choice. There are a million other things wrong with education, but this one stood out as the most obvious and most insane. The point of this song is to get people talking - if you share it, use #DontStayInSchool so we can all get involved in the conversation.

A Haunting Look At What Happens When We Make Our Kids 'Behave'

Maybe it's just me, but I really like it when songs are about something important — in this case, rigid gender roles and how harmful they can be.

FACT CHECK TIME: OK, so there aren't any facts presented in this video, but did you know that dads who do housework are more likely to raise ambitious daughters? And that forcing kids (of all genders!) to stick to rigid gender roles can be harmful to their health? Yeah. It's true. Like, super true. So what do you think? If you think we should stop doing that to our kids, you might want to share this video. It's up to you though.

This catchy song and video are by Benny, who you can follow Twitter. I originally saw the video for the first time when Tumblr user lets make it british posted this gifset.

Alan Watts on Choice

#alan watts #choice #libvideo

We are all bumbling around this planet, and each of us comes from a different situation in life. There's never really a way to know what someone else's circumstances are or what drives any of us to make the choices we make. What we do know is that sometimes we will be wronged in big or small ways. When this happens, maybe we can take a moment to think about the motivations of other people and try to mentally meet them where they are. If we apply this story, maybe, just maybe, we can begin to understand each other and make life a little bit easier.

The power of a simple act of kindness cannot be stated enough...
