( JORDAN RILEY ): 🍫💝 TO GIVE MY MUSE A BOX OF CHOCOLATES. ' seriously? ' staring down at the box that's offered to them, they find a bit of disgust in the shape of it, the colors, and the implications. the look that's given up to the woman says are you kidding me? to get their point across, but they take the box, if only because they're interested in what's inside. ' could've just got me a candybar, ' long fingers open the heart shaped thing, one brow raising slightly at the assortment of chocolates. another quick glance is given to jordan before they reach slowly toward a dark chocolate piece. upon biting into the sweet, they find caramel inside, and jules can't help but to savor the flavor as they meet jordan's eyes again, this time a little amused. they offer her one to take. ' get this half price th'day after valentine's, or what? ' @finalact.

it is totally okay to be hurt and tired and fed up with the american schooling system but i need you to understand that we need to be better about loudly and routinely defending public education.

yes, many teachers suck, many schools utterly suck. i also got bullied and was absolutely not given the right support for my needs. i am not defending public education because it was kind to me. i am defending it because it needs to exist.

right-wing republicans do not want an educated population. they want kids to be homeschooled or in private school. there is a huge religious undertone to this.

the most common argument is that despite high costs, the "result" is not "good" enough. they point to failing schools as proof that public education is just never going to work out. there will be arguments made here that you actually agree with: that teachers can be bullies, that we taught online for 2 years and still charged the same amount of tuition, that we have no recourse for students to actually have agency or a voice, and that schools are now unsafe for kids due to risk of illness and gun violence.

these are all placing the blame in a fraudulent way, one intended to get your parents to homeschool you. the less kids in a school, the less federally-awarded funding for that school, the less any school succeeds. they will not mention the fact it is their legislation that takes away important funding opportunities, that teachers are living at or below the poverty line, that buildings are not kept up to code, that administration is overpaid and forces specific curriculums, that corporations like (my personal enemy) Pearson Education control certain classroom goals because teachers can't afford other options. they pretend to be ignorant of the gun violence and say "oh just get a gun" - but these are the same people who will be sending their child to a private school with a bulletproof backpack. they don't care if your kid dies, though. they "don't believe" in covid, but they did get their kid vaccinated, because of course they did.

it is a closed loop. conservative parents hear the fearmongering and remove children from the system. frequently these parents are also deeply religious. the kids are raised without access to other media & learn to parrot their parents. you have now created a new generation of conservatives. additionally, one of the parents/caregivers must stay home and homeschool the children, usually for free. i will give you 1 guess which parent tends to stay home to homeschool the children. these parents are encouraged to have many, many children. those children are most likely not getting access to safe sex ed.

we might laugh at fox news suggesting teachers are forcing children to use kitty litter but: first of all, there is kitty litter in the classroom. it's part of an emergency kit in case children are locked in due to a shooter. so that's fucking dystopian, and the fact they've completely reimagined the scenario to somehow make the teachers look bad when it's instead a fucking huge symbol of our failure as a country to protect our children.... it feels a little intentional.

secondly: don't just dismiss the situation. because, yeah, obviously, no teacher is encouraging kids to be a catboy. but the actual undertone that fox news is trying to sew is an outright distrust of teachers and of public education. they rely on the dehumanization of trans people as a common touchstone to hide the fact they're pushing two agendas at once. (which is ironic. because the thing they accuse teachers of. is pushing. an agenda.)

whenever someone tells you they want you to read less, you should be suspicious of that. when someone tries to separate you and your education, you should be suspicious of that. i don't even like incel rhetoric nor would i want my kids exposed to it - but i would not take away my child's (age-appropriate) access to the internet. i would just provide more educational materials, not less. the difference here is that i believe we can resolve ignorance with knowledge; whereas conservatives believe that ignorance is bliss.

they misappropriate funding and demonize teachers. they pull the same trick each time - the same thing we are seeing with anti-trans rhetoric. they do not want you to have access to safe sex ed, so they act horrified, claim sex ed teaches you how to thrust deep, claim that we have no idea what "age-appropriate" means. since the mid-nineties, the united states has spent at least 2 billion dollars on abstinence-only education, even though to quote the above link: "a preponderance of studies has found no effect of abstinence education at reducing adolescent pregnancy". conservatives want you to think less of any person struggling with addiction so they can continue their racist "war on drugs", so they spend up to $750 million dollars a year on the DARE program which has absolutely no effect. acting like teachers "must" be "grooming" children is just the same thing - so they can demand that funding either goes to their causes or the funding doesn't "exist" ("i'm not paying for our kids to learn that thing!")

and they want you to feel uncaring about this. they are aware that you will hate some parts of your school experience. pretty much everyone does. they want to lean into the parts that you hate so that you don't put up a fight about it when they take it away for not being "good enough."

i know i maybe sound like a conspiracy theorist. but truly. truly. it is beneficial for conservatives to reduce your faith in the american public schooling system.

one of the explicitly stated campaign promises of the conservative party: to axe the Department of Education in 2024.

i know we are all tired and burnt out and there is so much else wrong with their entire platform. but maybe just - pay attention to this one.

#i can't believe i have to say this #the conservative party is legit like ''is it anything good? okay we hate it.'' #''lets kill lgbt people and ummmmm school children shouldnt be able to read they should be at home watching jordan peterson :)" #the fact that it's like all related is. wild. #like it's wild bc if u start being like. actually making it impossible to afford housing is part of how they keep the nuclear family..... #it's just like lines connecting to lines. EXCEPT ITS OBVIOUS? #what's wild to me about most conspiracy theorists is that they're like . ohhhh the govt is hiding shit!!!!!!! they don't want u to know!!! #and im like. this old man literally got up on stage and said he hates public education and will let our kids die before taking away ak-47s #and ppl are like: lol thats just bob's sense of humor he didn't mean it literally uwu

"these poems," June Jordan

These poems they are things that I do in the dark reaching for you whoever you are and are you ready?

These words they are stones in the water running away

These skeletal lines they are desperate arms for my longing and love.

I am a stranger learning to worship the strangers around me

whoever you are whoever I may become.

Everyone who speaks to or does stuff with Pierre always immediately talks about how open and willing to participate fully he is in whatever they're doing. I just think the fact that he walks into all of these situations with a true joy and appreciation for all the opportunities f1 brings him to enrich his own life is so lovely and refreshing he's so important to me actually

#boy like curiosity!! #people will call me insane for saying pierre is humble #but the way that no matter who you are. from a GOAT like michael jordan to some random ass GOLF reporter for CBS sports #if you are passionate about what you do Pierre has ZERO qualms about seeking out opportunities to learn from people #he LOVES the way others love what they do and he's invested in making those connections even in the smallest ways to make his life fuller #obv there are *many* place where he has room for improvement #but at a base level he understands that the life he lives affords him the privilege of access very few people have across so many interests #and he never ever takes that for granted #BOY LIKE CURIOSITY!! #yes i recognize this is over a netflix golf pr fluff piece. no idc #portraits of pierre #pierre

i hate how if your parents had a good marriage and if u want to emulate them that's like a "good thing" but if your parents have a bad marriage/relationship and u DON'T want to emulate that by not getting married, suddenly you just need to heal or to change or whatever. people making decisions based on personal experience isn't necessarily something that needs to be fixed. including when those decisions aren't in the realm of "be normal and like everyone else."

#people r like #'so you saw shitty marriages growing up? well yours can be different!' #so what?? like #idk i find it really weird that like #not liking marriage/relationships is seen as like #oh u need to Heal #some dude was like r u afraid of committment?? #bro i have 3 tattoos two of which are connected to online friends i met when i was a teenager #like.... #i have the same car ive been in since i was a kid #been wearing the same ring for the past 5 years like... #this idea that u need to be Fixed or Cured or Healed just bc u dont want a relationship is.... #uhhhhhh #yeah. #aromanticism #jordan talks
