It's just so crazy to be perpetuating the idea that education is incompatible with disabled children at the same time that republicans are trying to repeal the policies that mandate that schools accommodate and teach disabled children. Like?? Are you stupid???

I think the skeleton key to understanding most tumblr discourse on education is that, when you push past all the buzzwords, they’re not arguing for increased accessibility, but instead buying into plain old reactionary anti-intellectualism. They act like even valuing education is elitist and classist and ableist and every other -ist that you can think of, and it becomes abundantly clear from interacting with these people that they’re compensating for their own lack of curiosity about the world, failures, and unwillingness to learn anything or read a book (which is why they do often claim “no one taught me this in school!” about a basic fact and get offended at people who tell them to use the phone they’re using to look it up). They use disabled students as a shield against their own inadequacy and act like expecting students to do anything they don’t want to do is oppressive because they’re still mad they had to write a book report in middle school instead of sit and watch movies in class with their friends all day, but kids don’t have the knowledge or life experience to know that of course it’s important to learn reading, writing, critical thinking skills, basic math, etc. or else you’re really going to be at a serious disadvantage in life as an adult. But these people are still mad at their teachers, so they say all of this education is frivolous and a waste of time and smhhhh we shouldn’t be teaching students how to do math, that’s icky and difficult and it’s oppressive to challenge students in any way, we should be locking these students out of a college education (which is evil and elitist anyway) by not even trying to make math more accessible to them and instead bring back home economics and teach students of color or disabled students how to clean and cook—because leaving the hard academic subjects for the middle class white kids doesn’t sound Republican at all, right? 🤪

all in all I take a complete disarmament and non-proliferation stance on boyfriends. Do not use them. Do not create them. Dismantle the ones you have and repurpose their material for peaceful civilian use. This is the only way the world can know peace

having feelings that contradict your morals is soooo fucking annnoooooyyyiiingggggg. can the emotions and logic department get on the same page im tired of having to like strangle myself into being a tolerable person

if you sneeze without covering your mouth on public transit then you deserve *pauses to consider my convictions regarding punitive justice* *nods head resolutely* the death penalty

Things that I knew about: that the mass incarceration of people in the USA , particularly black men, has direct ties to/is an extension of slavery. Things I did not know: this specific shit about Louisiana HOLY FUCK this is evil.

Grew up next to Angola. It’s much worse than you think

I wonder how many people are imprisoned for weed

I’m from Mississippi and it’s like this in my home town. Enslaved prisoners clean roadways, pick cotton, everything they’ve done since before slavery was supposedly ended. What they teach in schools is nothing but propaganda.

Libgen also has many books online, including textbooks, searchable by name, author, and ISBN. Can you imagine textbook companies not getting their hard-earned income from poor college students? Here is the link just so you make sure that you never accidentally stumble across this horrible, unethical website.

Oh, and while we’re talking about books, if you’ve managed to stay clear from Libgen, definitely don’t go to zlibrary, where you can also find a lot of textbooks, but unfortunately they’re completely free.

Reblogging so you know which sites to totally avoid

if for some reason none of this works, the old “send a email nicely asking for the paper to the author” is always a good trick. remember most scientists hate the commercialisation of scientific knowledge

Don’t mind me, just gotta share this with my bf so that he knows what websites to avoid

Many authors of papers are on ResearchGate! You can ask for papers there, if they don’t just post a copy to download. If they’re associated with a college, you can usually find their email addresses in the department directory, also.

Always reblog.

“help” is my favorite way to say that something is funny. like hey i laughed at this post can you save me

i wish we were able to talk about women's rights without someone mentioning how much they do or don't want to have sex with them. i don't care if you're a lesbian Stop finding worth in women purely from their perceived attractiveness

"I think women should not be expected to shave for societal respect / to avoid discrimination" "yeah🤤 i love bush" ok well that's not what we're talking about is it.

i hate how many posts about trans women deserving respect always devolve into "I love girldick" or "trans rights but I don't want to date a trans person" because that's entirely unrelated to the topic at hand. you should not respond to feminism with "YESSS I loveeee you because I see you as nothing but a sex object" you people sound like other men I get stuck talking with that end up saying "free the nipple so I can see boobies in public" and thinking they're feminists. why can't we just respect women regardless of your attraction to them or not. why does it need to be brought up in every conversation regarding their rights

ableism really feels like the lowest common denominator across all groups regardless of their politics. right wingers will call their opponents the r word, their opponents will call them "brain dead" bc they want to use the r word but they have to reskin the term for optics. anyone on any political or social stance can somehow maintain that stance while being ableist. like homophobes and transphobes can be ableist. lgbtq people can be ableist. both racists and anti-racists can be ableist. even self proclaimed anti-fascists can be ableist despite a hatred of disabled people making up a chunk of the basis of fascist ideology. actually no matter what someone says, if they make their point by being ableist they've failed at confronting the universal myth that some people are inherently superior to other people. they just disagree over which group should be the one considered inferior
