Kind of a Reddit AITA post but sometimes it is a little funny to fuck with people in ways that deliberately conform to a stereotype of what they must think of you. the other day I was talking to my friend and I randomly said that I wanted a pet chimpanzee. I'd dress it in person clothes (dungarees and hats) and I'd teach it to love science fiction. And this girl nearby was like "you know how dangerous those things are, right? Also how unethical it is to keep an ape as your pet for your own amusement" and I was already seeing where the conversation was going so I was pretending ignorance like "yea but it wouldn't just be for my amusement. It would have practical points too." And she ignored that statement entirely to say "Well chimpanzees can rip faces off" and I was like. What's the most frustrating thing I can say now. Finally settled on "Mine wouldn't do that though." and you could tell she wanted to hurt me very very badly. Like a chimpanzee would if I had one as a pet

thinking about that time my mother was so easily influenced by my aunt saying “oh when I was teaching my kids how to study and do homework I made sure to not let them take notes. I made them memorize each sentence and then they had to recite the entire chapter to me at the end of the night”. this is coming from a woman who had CPS called on her for child neglect 

But because my mom is chronically in competition with her family it resulted in me having to memorize textbooks from the first to sixth grade

I've realized recently that every time I'm asked for socials my response is sorta "oh i don't have twitter" "I'm not on Instagram much" "i uninstalled TikTok a few months ago" and this has led people into believing I'm just someone who doesn't do social media but in reality you can find me in here lets get it on cunts monday through shawty like a melody sunday, 9am to 12am, posting blorbo.

Everything in my life worked out. It’s all going to plan. I wish I could tell my younger self this.

It would be just as effective as a full on strike, without risking their jobs in anti union states. Especially if they made public newspaper announcements that this is what they will ALL be doing.

[spiderine]

This is called “Work-To-Rule” (a form of malicious compliance), and is a very useful and effective tool in labor organization!

[dozen-times-vanished]

My dad did this! He’s a high school teacher, and he and all his colleagues refused to write college recommendation letters - which was dozens of hours of unpaid labor not in their contract - until they got a renegotiated contract, and it worked in like less than a week cause parents went apeshit. The education system would fucking collapse without unpaid teacher labor, and that’s a huge source of leverage

[molothoo]

My teachers always basically told us, that if we want things to change within the school system….anger the parents, they have so much fucking power it’s insane

Armenian genocide: survivors recall events 100 years on

[cataclysmic-writer]

To this day, the quote I read in a survivors biography in 7th grade still haunts me. “Who does now remember the Armenians?” 

You know who said that? Hitler. Adolf Hitler, as a way to justify the Holocaust. Because the world turned a blind eye to the Armenian genocide, he thought the world would turn its back to the Holocaust.

The worst part is, he was right. America, Europe, the governments knew what was going on. And they ignored it. Now, more than ever, remember the Armenians. Remember the Cambodians, Rwandans, Jews. Never again means now.

[bitegore]

Remember the Armenians because it’s happening again and it can literally be stopped but not if people keep turning a blind eye, just as they did a century ago
