You can’t look dignified when you’re having fun.

Sanders, Schumer, Warren, Gallego, and all the other cowards who didn't throw everything they had at this motherfucker and are still backing him even now should resign and never speak in public again. They have no balls. They won't challenge Bernie's anointed They have no brains. They're willing to try and run this loser. They have no integrity. They backed a man with none thinking that it was ok when the party demands more.

It’s 2026 and getting frothing at the mouth angry at rainbow capitalism is still stupid because it’s always been a neutral barometer for the social climate around LGBT+ stuff by the way.

not to oversimplify an extremely complex discipline but if i had to pick one tip to give people on how to have more productive interactions with children, especially in an instructive sense, its that teaching a kid well is a lot more like improv than it is like error correction and you should always work on minimizing the amount of ‘no, wrong’ and maximizing the amount of ‘yes, and?’ for example: we have a species of fish at the aquarium that looks a lot like a tiny pufferfish. children are constantly either asking us if that’s what they are, or confidently telling us that’s what they are. if you rush to correct them, you risk completely severing their interest in the situation, because 1. kids don’t like to engage with adults who make them feel bad and 2. they were excited because pufferfish are interesting, and you have not given them any reason to be invested in non-pufferfish. Instead, if you say something like “It looks a LOT like a tiny pufferfish, you’re right. But these guys are even funnier. Wanna know what they’re called?” you have primed them perfectly for the delightful truth of the Pacific Spiny Lumpsucker

Rebloggling as it’s relevant in a Medical Education context

Honestly I use all of these to teach vet students too. I think people in general respond better to positivity in teaching. Not coddling, but acknowledging when a student got part way to the right answer, or had a good thought process, is something I’ve found keeps students engaged and builds confidence, which encourages them to keep going instead of shutting down and just “getting through” a lab or a rotation

Advise we use at my work (teaching mostly younger kids with a hard time reading) is Specific Positive Support. If they read the word “brisk” as “bricks” you go “ yeah, you got that first blend, nice job, those can be tricky!” before getting into what they struggled with. Just saying ’ good work’ or ‘nice job’ starts to feel like a platitude and precursor to ‘here is everything wrong’ if it’s not paired with proof that the kiddo /actually did do a good job on a thing/. Kids aren’t stupid, they can tell when you’re Just Saying Something Nice to head off a shutdown. But praising the specific things they did well, or got right, even if it’s just “ dude, you said that so fast!” or “Thanks for matching my question, good job listening.” is a game changer.

Zaid hates Jews, and loves fake vetbro shit. I wish him an eternity of drinking nothing but black rifle coffee.

i would like to remind everyone smugly using "usamerican" that you are not being woke or reclaiming anything you just don't understand how adjectives or languages work
