"...The UK Employment Tribunal found that the requirement to take the SJT (“Situational Judgement Test”) in multiple choice form was not a proportionate means of achieving the aim of testing the fundamental competency which was to make effective decisions."

"It’s not only to consider adjustments that are put forward by the employee, but also up to the employer to decide whether any reasonable adjustments are appropriate and necessary."

You know, I'm largely saying this because its a perspective that would have been super foreign to us in the past, but I honestly like to try to be someone who gives the best faith to people when I get the chance and I honestly think, at large, we have enough people in the world with high expectations and assumptions of people to just know everything or figure things out themselves that it's just not productive to those that haven't had it so easily put out for them.

I like to think that most people are dumb (affectionate), stupid (affectionate), and just honest to god confused and just need some help understanding things. And while I agree "you should do your own research and educate yourself", I like to think a lot of people do try that but due to a combination of difficulty understanding the topic and the amount of impersonal, complex language, and missinformation on topics, "educate yourself" is often easier said than done.

And I might go out on a branch and a bit of a stretch to state this, but I do think if you hammer away and expect everyone to "do your own research and educate yourself" or really oversimplify the effort of "learning things yourself" you kind of are largely putting up barriers to understanding to those with learning disabilities and unique and specialized learning needs. And if there are those barriers to understanding and denial of help without stigma, you kind of force people that struggle to learn things to be automatically labeled a "bad person" or a "bigotted person"

But a lot of people don't have resources to learn. A lot of people haven't been educated on a good and reliable way to learn. A lot of people struggle with reading. A lot of people struggle with more standard ways of "learning". A lot of people have trouble understanding social contexts that make it harder for them to navigate the social contexts of what people are saying and ulterior motives. A lot of people have little to no experience with topics related to what they are trying to learn and thus struggle to even fathom it. A lot of these social justice topics are actually very complex and confusing topics WITHOUT any unique challenges / difficulties accessing and understanding topics like these.

And it's why I very much love the "explain it to me like I'm three" statement; cause honestly, its okay to not know or understand things and I think its important to open up interest with the awareness that someone has tried and understands there is probably something they are missing, but can't connect it.

Maybe this is comes from the fact both of my parents that were actively abusive and harmful were both very "stupid" and thus very very harmful to me growing up, but in adulthood, when given the resources and time, it became very very very apparent that at no point did they ever have any moment of malice; they just never had the resources to understand or do better. Maybe it comes from working with neurodivergent kids that need things made more clear and explained to them in a unique way that is meant to help them in specific understand

Of course, this post isn't to say that people HAVE to educate others or that having these difficulties excuses harm done. It's never the victims fault that they were hurt, they never did and never do owe it to anyone to "educate them" to prevent getting hurt.

It's more so just to add some perspective, insight, and nuance to a lot of the social justice topics and a lot of the concept of "educate yourself" cause I think its important to have a lot more of a clear understanding of that in practice to actually help move everyone forward as a group

((And this is not meant to be just about neurodivergence; this is also about class, race, immigrant status, language barriers, environments, trauma and abuse histories, etc; this is a heavily intersectional post and is valid to apply to almost everyone. Learning foreign things is hard especially for certain people in certain situations. If you think it is only about one of these groups, you are missing the point; if enough people are missing the point I might follow this up when I have time))

He will speak up when it concerns people directly close to him, but not if it gets him even the slightest bit of heat.// “FUCKING ENOUGH” is really the extent of his “activism.” And then he got called out for it and then posted some links (or Josh did). It’s clear he does not give a fuck.

Okay, listen.

That is not the extent.

It takes a lot for me to respect someone when it comes to their political views. And Chris did a lot more than just say "fucking enough". He did a hell of a lot more.

I initially started liking him because of his twitter rants that likened the rants I would go on when I talked about the election in 2020. He said a HELL of a lot more than "FUCKING ENOUGH!"

In fact, he said all of this (and more):

And he even said THIS:

BUT WHERE IS HE NOW?

WHERE ARE YOU NOW, CHRISTOPHER?!

WHERE THE FUCK DID YOU GO?

WHERE DID THIS MAN WHO FOUGHT SO HARD AND IMPRESSIVELY WHILE HE WAS HIRED BY MARVEL?

WHERE DID HE GO TO, ONCE HIS CONTRACT ENDED?

People even used to think this of him:

But where is he now??? Who is he now????

Let me guess....

He got an instagram account and decided to date young girls while he made them hide in his basement.

That man we all loved and respected once, is no more. Maybe he never actually was.

International Safe Abortion Day (ISAD) Is Today !

28 September is the annual day of action in support of the right to safe abortion. It has been celebrated since 1990 in Latin America, and since 2011 around the world. 

Why does International Safe Abortion Day matter?

Because unsafe abortion is the 3rd leading cause of maternal deaths, deaths that are entirely preventable.

It's simple. Safe abortion saves lives.

No idea what half of the words mean, but this song is peak music. A catchy song that talks about the worlds (more specifically America's) problems and discrimination against queer, disabled, POC, etc?

To discriminate against another person based purely on race is just wrong. But according to ethical subjectivism, no one has the right to condemn such actions.

NaPoWriMo 2023 Day 16: Thick skin, jokes about my body

The prompt for today is to describe something in negation and so I planned to write about the things people say about other people’s bodies. You are not fat Just a little overweight from the sides, if you can fit this dress 4 sizes down- It's only because Summer is almost here and if you want to wear shorts to keep the heat off of you You should be in shape The short tops will hug you in weird…

Immediately after a Black boy and his cousin walked into Walgreens, a manager told them to hurry up and grab what they were buying or she was going to call the cops on them.

The boy went to the car and told his grandmother, who swiftly came in and set the manager straight

Ron DeSantis has always been "Mask Off"

This isn't a new thing. It's a pattern of behavior.

That pattern of behavior is what led us here. Gun violence is a human problem. Human problems have human solutions. The first mass shooting in America happened in 1966. Human solutions includes good policy. You can make as many policies based on mental health that you want, but racism isn't a mental illness.

Ron DeSantis has blood on his hands.

Like,,, yes making your humanizations of cookie run characters white instead of based on their dough color isn't inherently racist but I will say it is definitely colorist as there is no genuine reason you had to change what would've been a skin tone to something that's way lighter than the original design.

Like it's one thing if you made Cocoa cookie a lighter tan than her dough color, but when you make her pale, do you not just think about why you did that? Is there no hidden bias that you, perhaps, do not like coloring darker-skinned characters? Like, yes, Cocoa cookie is indicative of Scandinavian cultures, but there are black Scandinavians! Additionally, making her pale just washes her out, and her design becomes less interesting as a result.

I'm just saying, maybe if you do try to color a cookie way lighter than their dough color, maybe examine yourself and why you chose to do that?

#razz speaks #// colorism is vv contentious to me. its not race related but its uh still a form of discimination #// it kinda hurt me actually we had whitening soaps and stuff it had acid in it to burn some melanin off and make us paler #// im simply saying you might need to examine your biases if you do that

Hey, y'all know how the US are banning trans health care, right? Yeah, guess what! Shame shit is happening over here in Norway, too! Now the ONLY valid place is Riksen, the discriminatory hellscape that ask invasive and disturbing questions, and also ban nonbinary and gender-nonconforming trans folk! Even the FEW private clinics are being barred from taking new patients, and all of us in the system are waiting for the other shoe to drop - where we lose our access, too.

And, since all of this is so horridly informed, a lot of us in-between places have no clue what's going to happen to us. With myself, I have no fucking clue wether or not I'm going to be ABLE to get a top surgery, as I just last week got my files sent over to a clinic. It's a plastic surgery clinic, but if the Health Minister got a whiff of it...who the hell knows what's going to happen :/

Norway is hell and especially so if you're trans :/ They don't care about us. Fifty years since they de-criminalised being queer, and this happens. I'm seething. Happy fucking freedom month, am I right?

#text_iris #Norway #Norwegian #Yes I will tag it because y'all need to SEE the HELL we are put through! The discimination and malpractice we go through #Do NOT romanticise our country. It's all lies. All smoke and mirrors. And I am SICK AND TIRED of it #We have beautiful things but so many people are cruel and nasty #Transphobia #Transphobia // #Ask to Tag #:) Mad!! Mad!!! I am seething. The abuse FRI/PKI leaders are facing is horrid #Looking at Norwegian Queer Twitter just makes me so horridly sad it's a hellscape!! #Being trans in Norway rn is just...a lot of abuse from people in power #So fun!!!
