WHERE DO I BUY ONE?!?!?!

(What are they called???)

fandomsandfeminism:

I’ve been trying to think of a good analogy for what voting in Texas feels like.

And it’s like… it’s like you want orange juice for breakfast. But there’s only Tang or Sunny D to choose from. And that sucks, but ok, sure. Sunny D.

And then your neighbors racist grandpa tells you that no, Sunny D is full of sugar, and you’re like….but Orange Juice has sugar too. Thats not a bad thing?

And they’re like, no no. It’s got chemicals. What I have is all natural. And you look, and it’s not orange juice. It’s just piss. Orange, dehydrated, piss.

And you’re like. This is piss. And they say- yeah. It’s all natural. And the chemicals in sunny d and Tang will make you gay and the mexicans are putting fetynal in the tang to induce abortions. What you a big Tang fan now? Let’s go Tang! Let’s go Tang!

And you’re like *but that’s piss* and then everyone votes for piss.

EXCEPT everyone here has been drinking piss since 1995 and the piss drinking has killed children and destroyed the electrical grid and tanked our education system and has been under investigation for felony charges for 7 years and said grandparents should be willing go die for the economy during the lockdowns AND people are STILL DRINKING PISS.

Let’s talk keys. Hekate as the Keybearer gets a lot of offerings of modern keys, skeleton keys, and I have those too, but these are keys of the variety that the ancient world would’ve recognized. The teeth on the hooked end moved the tumblers and allowed the lock to turn. They were easily overcome, most of them. They had a variety of shapes, materials, and sizes, with temple keys being heavy ceremonial objects.

Last year, I commissioned a friend I trust and adore, to make these simple household keys for my shrine, and they’re among my most prized pieces.

The argument of “schools should control what kids learn” vs “parents should control what kids learn” is kind of wild to me because

(And hear me out here)

Maybe some teachers are shit at their jobs

And maybe some parents can’t even tell you what subjects their kid studies

So perhaps

(Hear me out)

Some kind of middle ground is needed

Yes, it should be me that decides what kids are taught

What’s your first declaration as Grand Education Wizard?

Ban maths past basic arithmetic before high school, teach algebra and it’s ilk as elective courses.

For me maths was mandatory until 16, what’s it like in America?

Mandatory. Period. End of. We have to take a maths course pretty much every year we’re in school.

College/University is only when it’s elective and even then, you still have to take one as part of your “General Education”.

Follow up question:

Then why is everyone on this site incapable of basic mathematics

A few of us have dyscalcula

The rest of us probably didn’t pay much attention/were too busy doodling eyes. Just like in English classes.

Also cause the teachers were shitty and abusive in a lot cases, so we didn’t pay attention because they were assholes who treated us like shit

That too

Or the teachers just plain didn’t know what they were talking about.

I had one math teacher who lamented that he didn’t understand why there were girls in his class, because in his estimation, we weren’t capable of understanding numbers.
Just one of a succession of STEM teachers who did what they could to dampen any interest in paying attention.

Today was a week in itself. Tomorrow morning, I spend with my doctor.

I could really use a vacation, preferably somewhere with waves.
