That last slide is a comment I left under a parenting influencer’s post about calling out other parenting influencers. It seems to have been hidden. Very odd, especially considering that I wanted people to find the folks I referenced so they’d have alternatives to the mainstream parenting accounts. Anyway, just wanna remind folks that I’ve been calling out parenting influencers who are not liberation-oriented and uplifting those who are since 2018 on this platform and I will continue to do so. And if people wanna hop on the train now then that’s fine I guess.

The kindest people are not born that way,
they are made.
They are the ones who have dug themselves
out of the dark,
who have fought to turn
every loss into a lesson.
The kindest people don’t just exist --
they choose to soften
where circumstance has tried to harden them,
they choose to believe in goodness
because they have seen firsthand
why compassion is so necessary.
They have seen firsthand
why tenderness is so important in this world.

i say this in all seriousness, a great way to resist the broad cultural shift of devaluing curiosity and critical thinking is to play my favorite game, Hey What Is That Thing
you play it while walking around with friends and if you see something and don't know what it is or wonder why its there, you stop and point and say Hey What Is That Thing. and everyone speculates about it. googling it is allowed but preferably after spending several minutes guessing or asking a passerby about it
weird structures, ambiguous signs, unfamiliar car modifications, anything that you can't immediately understand its function. eight times out of ten, someone in the group actually knows, and now you know! source

"Oh yeah? If X is not true, then how come someone has written a story in which it is?" -- a distressingly large number of people

Good examples in the notes but the one that baffles me the most is Lord of the Flies, a novel whose plot adult and seemingly intelligent people keep claiming proves something about human nature, as if they were genuinely unaware that it's a work of fiction and that things only happen in it because a guy named William decided to make them happen in his imagination source

It’s graduation season and students’ academic accomplishments can stand on their own without forcing false binaries of gender. If your school is doing one graduation robe color for “boys” and one for “girls”, think about what is necessary to change to a gender-neutral option before next year’s ceremony. source
