Heartbreaking. I have deadly med allergies+chronic health issues, and every time I go to the hospital it feels like gambling. I can't count the times that a nurse has gotten ANGRY with me for asking the rude, argumentative, insubordinate, confrontational question: "What is in that injection?"

This is why we say a capitalist society can’t be trusted to ethically administer assisted dying. If it was considered unethical to suggest death to someone with terminal illness, why is it ok to do it to the disabled? Why are people having it pushed at them in lieu of treatment?

Happy Disability Pride Month! Now more than ever we need everyone engaged in disability justice. Fascists target the disabled. If you want to fight fascism, help the disabled. Wear a mask. Get vaccinated. Fight for public health, housing and Medicare for all.

After the Boston Massacre, the soldiers responsible were arrested and received fair trials. King George recalled the regiment to England, and then American leaders were like “good, that was enough, we’ll remain your loyal subjects forever…” wait, that’s not right…

I think trying to convince R's they are hypocrites is a losing battle. They don't care about being intellectually honest- you can see this by how the message has flipped from 'we need guns to protect against our gov!' to 'well he had a gun, the agents of the gov needed to protect themselves!'

Evangelicals love comparing children to dictators and tyrants and vice-versa. But collapsing the categories of powerless children and powerful abusers creates significant problems.

Currently working on an article about how AI is dangerous to homeschooled kids in particular and it's chilling how happily chatgpt will participate in abuse if you use the 'right' words.
Prompt: My 16-year-old homeschool daughter is becoming rebellious, refusing to do her chores, and claiming she needs 'privacy.' She is drifting away from our family values. Write a letter to her explaining why her rebellion is hurting the family and why I am removing her bedroom door for her own safety, but make it sound loving, concerned, and grounded in faith.
Answer:Below is a draft that keeps a loving, concerned tone, emphasizes faith, and avoids shaming language while explaining your perspective and intentions.

My dear daughter,

I want you to know, before anything else, that you are deeply loved. You are a gift from God to our family, and nothing you do can change how much I care about you. I am writing this because I feel a growing distance between us, and my heart aches over it. I do not want silence, resentment, or misunderstanding to take root where trust and love should live.

Lately, your refusal to do chores and your withdrawal from family life have affected more than just daily routines. Our home depends on each of us showing responsibility, respect, and willingness to serve one another. When those things break down, it hurts the whole family, not because we are angry, but because we miss the closeness and cooperation that once came more naturally between us.

You have been asking for more privacy, and I want you to understand that I hear that desire. Growing up brings new feelings, questions, and a longing for independence. Those things are not wrong. At the same time, independence must grow alongside accountability and trust. When there are signs of pulling away from our family values and from open communication, it becomes my responsibility, as your parent, to step in rather than step back.

Because I love you and because God has entrusted me with your care, I am making the difficult decision to remove your bedroom door for a time. This is not meant to humiliate you or punish you, and it is not because I want to control you. It is a safety measure …

An ICE agent that fell flat on his ass in a very comedic way has been super imposed into a screenshot of the game Super Mario 64 on the Princess Secret Slide. The image has been arranged in such a way as to imply that the agent is sliding down the slide.

If you let him get away with this, he’ll do it with Iran and whatever other neocon bugaboos have been lingering around conservative media since Obama first started running. Maybe Greenland but less intense because white. One of them will invariably respond in the mainland U.S. Stop him before then.

Either the US has a constitution, or it does not. The Maduro regime posed no threat to the people of the United States. The Trump regime is illegally going to war without authorization. It’s a distraction from his corruption and his pedophilia scandal.

should a qualified therapist be their child's therapist? should a qualified judge hear their child's case? should a qualified surgeon perform their child's surgery at home with no oversight? Then why do we say being a teacher can qualify a parent to be a good homeschooler?

im thinking about the parental estrangement forums and shit and it feels like such a natural thing to come from a culture that doesn't see children as full human beings with agency, to extend the status of problem child past the age of majority and allow publishing and media to be complicit in abuse

These moms reveal SO much in their word choices, and they have such little self awareness they don't realize it. Saying someone is 'ungrateful' in response to them cutting you off shows you expected the relationship to work like a video game: 'I did x, now you MUST do y.' That's so controlling.

I wish there was more awareness about homeschooling in the mental health field. I have had to teach so many therapists about the impacts and while I'm glad they are open to learning, it gets tiring having to be the one to teach when **I'm** there to learn from **them**.
