think the biggest sign of tumblrs aging population is how we went from posting about how unethical and ineffective assigning homework in schools is to deciding that humanity is fucked because kids these days aren't writing essays with is much enthusiasm as you have for your fanfic about two white guys from the Pitt
if you are currently in school and you somehow see this post, heed my warning. any adult on here telling you essays/homework/school is easy or something you must be grateful for is fucking compromised. they do not relate to you, care about you, or respect your autonomy.
do what you need to survive, it is an injustice that anything more is expected of you
As a teacher, I do not assign homework, but I do teach my students how to write essays. It's more important than ever for people to have critical thinking skills and the ability to discern reliable sources from unreliable sources. My colleagues and I deeply, deeply care about our students and their wellbeing. We are working overtime for low pay to educate young people. The fact so many people are lacking literacy and critical thinking skills is a major factor in the rise in fascism in this country.
Look, if you were right that education was some grand conspiracy to browbeat young people into submission, the right would be pouring money into schools. They'd be spinning their propaganda machines about how important schools and teachers are. Instead, they have done everything they can to knee cap public education and vilify teachers. They frame colleges as liberal brainwashing factories. They do not want you to be educated. They don't want people to think for themselves. There's a reason fascists kill intellectuals and burn books.
The students who need education the most are the most marginalized. The people who will struggle most to survive WITHOUT an education are the ones who come from oppressed backgrounds, who feel disempowered and already have odds stacked against them. A couple of centuries ago, slavers didn't want enslaved people to read. Right now, rich white oligarchs don't want young people of color to know how to read either.
Anti-intellectualism is a cornerstone of fascism. Leftists who adopt it are doing nothing to further the cause of ending oppression whatsoever.
criticizing the school system isn't inherently anti-intellectualism in the same way that critiquing the prison system doesn't mean that you're against the concept of there being consequences for crime.
it's great that you and your colleagues are dedicated teacher who care about your students' wellbeing. it's genuinely important work and i'm grateful to anyone who can manage to do it. there are also people in the same field who are not dedicated and caring. a good teacher can be lifechanging, and a bad teacher can be life ruining; you may not assign homework, plenty others do. which sort of teacher a child ends up with is completely outside of their control and they are completely at the mercy of that random chance. the fact that being a good teacher means working overtime for low pay pretty clearly illustrates that being a good teacher is structurally disincentivized in a lot of cases. that's a real problem.
there does not need to be a grand conspiracy in place to browbeat children into submission for that to be what ultimately ends up happening as a result of other factors compounding for the worse. the fact that the right has done such a good job at kneecapping public education is a big part of why school does end up browbeating children into submission. racism and ableism are structurally baked in to our school system from the ground up, and as such those marginalized students who are the most in need of a good education are also the most likely to be subject to unbelievable amounts of cruelty, bigotry, and setbacks during their attempts to get one. asking them to be grateful to be in those sorts of environments is not fair. would you ask an adult to give their best effort to a workplace that was openly hostile to them just because the work they were doing was important? probably not. i don't think children should be held to a higher standard.
education is good, objectively, and a subpar education is better than none. i would love a world where every child was as educated as is humanly possible. but a prerequisite to being able to learn is having your basic needs met, and there are significant areas where the us school system as it currently exists means that children are prevented from maintaining the basic physiological and psychological security they need in order to receive a proper education. i believe the point this original post is trying to make is that we do not have the right to demand a bottom up approach where these children work themselves to the bone to compensate for the ways in which they are being systemically failed. they have enough on their plates just trying to get through it however they can, and it's up to adults to figure out how to actually turn the school system into something that protects and enriches children.
Posting your tags because you understand bigly. It really surprised me how the queer nerd crowd was so belittling and genuinely cruel about the "survive" part. I got accused of being anti-intellectualism (or conspiratorial and "acting nefariously" according to therougefeminist, what the fuck?) for prioritising mental health before education. Is that so controversial?
I'll reiterate that when I say do what you need to survive, I mean it with all seriousness. Sleep through class, cheat on the test, fucking get up and leave cos it's boring you for all I care.
I had a friend who never made it out of high school, I have ones who are riddled with anxiety and have panic attacks to this day because of what they had to go through. School is not as important as your health and literacy is not worth more than your life. Reading, studying, and learning are not restricted to high school. Your life is only just starting by the time you get out.
they're selling anti-ai slogans on sweatshop-produced t-shirts. i don't need to write the poem for you to get it do i
sixpencee got less hate for straight-up admitting to owning a child slave than I do for saying children shouldn't be treated as property
like i'll say "parents should not be able to unilaterally override their child's consent" and some dipshit will see the word consent and the smoke from the hollowed-out crater that used to be their critical thinking skills will immediately coalesce into a message in my ask box calling me a pedo. no fucking hope for any of you
which I say, by the way, because one of my closest friends was able to be effectively disappeared off the face of the earth and sent into the woods to be sexually abused and tortured into being straight due to parents effectively owning their children as property. if you are a minor your consent simply does not actually matter - whether you get vaccinated, whether you get to go to school, whether people get to hug touch you, what you wear, how your hair is cut, what your hobbies are, whether you get to have friends, and yes, whether you want to be sent to a torture camp in the woods or not - your consent is entirely meaningless because your parents can simply override it, and there's fuckall you can do about it, because you aren't a person, you're just property. the family dog has more protections against being abused than children do
but! if you ever point this out you get called you a rapist

auto immune disorders happen when the immune system ignores regulatory factors and begins attacking healthy bodily tissues, due to what scientists refer to as "sheer love of the game"
behold my ugly
its the year 2013 and you can 3dprint a dildo that is also a bong and Dennys has a tumblr and most phones have TWO cameras now, one on the front and one on the back and there is a nonzero chance that we will have a reality show set in space within 5 years.
it appears that gentle death still stands sentinel at the end of our lives and casts a shadow back over us as if he were interposed between us and a fantastic radiance but OTOH crowdsourcing has made it incredibly easy to buy a “minimalist wallet” made of aircraft-grade aluminium weave and hey
dennys has a tumblr, so you can keep up with dennys, and new dennys developments, in realtime

my dad has started saying "i think this barista had they/them pronouns" when his coffee is especially good. happy pride
"trans people are just more interesting and pay attention" oh i'm sure.

welcome to body world (inhales shakily through my clenched teeth) a world where everyone has a body
Kelly Avenue, Mount Hope, West Virginia.
Why are people now saying "LARP" when they mean "poser". It's confusing.
Everyone is always parroting The Buzzword Of The Month without actually knowing what it means or where it comes from, make it stop
Kinda like how "POV" went from "(implied first person) Point Of View" to "there is a video"
Insane

It seems that the Tumblr team has no other purpose than to delete, close, and attack the accounts of transgender people and Palestinians trying to survive genocide and ethnic cleansing in Gaza.
Two days ago, I was shocked to find that my blog, abdalsalam2000, had been deleted without warning and without me having done anything wrong, simply because I was asking for help from the Tumblr community. That blog was our only source of income that kept us alive in Gaza, and unfortunately, it was deleted by Tumblr employees.
In Gaza, we need at least $300 a day just to survive. After Tumblr deleted our account, this blog is all I have left. I hope you will help me by sharing this post, donating, and following this blog. Please, please help us and donate now.
Please help Nader regain his followers and the momentum he had before his previous blog was deleted. Please donate to him now and follow his blog.
Friends, please donate now! Your help is our only hope for survival. Please share this post widely and donate here now, please!
Help Nader!! Anything and everything makes a difference.
