Something that I first applied to working with children, and have applied in a limited form to working with adults: you don't need to tell someone when they read your instructions wrong. Sometimes it's enough to point out what they did right and then whatever they didn't do? You ask them to do it in more precise words, and you make it sound like it's a new request. Remarkable how fast things get done this way.

This is also a habit I built up from emergency response training. If I say "I need you to bring me a first aid kit and an accident report" and you bring me just a first aid kit, it's so much more efficient to say "thanks now can you bring me an accident report" than "I asked you to bring an accident report why didn't you bring me one".

Once you've internalized "a person bleeding out is one of the worst times to start an argument" you start to wonder what other tasks could get accomplished without arguing

“my legally protected gender” must be nice. i wish women had like, legally protected humanity

This is the least aesthetic thing ive ever seen

Female manipulator blogs on here post money and jewels and drugs and stuff. This guy posts a dollar. The male mind aims so low

you'll never catch me dead defending the tradwife tiktok industrial complex but i think some of you guys could really benefit from toning down the visceral sneering contempt you have for housewives/stay at home moms lol

'i would NEVER be dependent on a man because i have a CAREER' good for you: now imagine you're disabled, or didn't have the financial privilege to pursue one, or grew up in a religious family or a more conservative culture where living independently from a man wasn't even something you knew was an option. imagine approaching feminist activism from a place of compassion rather than stunting on profoundly vulnerable women and flaunting how much smarter and better you are than them

Plenty of highly intelligent people end up getting sucked in to cults because they just wanted people to hang out with. There are antivaxxer nurses. Your ability to act on empirical reason breaks down fast if your social and emotional needs aren't being met.

Like, I reject this idea that people end up becoming tradwives or antivaxxers or cult members because they were dumb. These groups prey on people by filling the social and emotional needs of vulnerable people. They look for people who need help, and give it to them on predatory conditions.

Crazy that Allah did awaken the people and help them to see the evil doings of Israel and the united states

never, ever, have told a woman to kill herself and never will. and i think some of you should commit to that rule too and stop being just as unhinged in women's inboxes as people are to us. It isn't cute or funny or cool and it does no one any good. There is absolutely nothing I hate more than finding out people are sending suicide bait to a woman whose post i reblogged with (purposefully civil!) criticism.
