When did making playlists for your crush stop being a thing? I vote to bring it back.
We have discovered that some teachers, if they really want to hear what children have to say, that their whole state of being is at ease, and they listen closely and that in the process of listening they discover that children are speaking a wealth of information, and these teachers will be receptive to the information that they are hearing. And then some teachers want to hear children say what they the teachers, deep down, want the children to say, things that they want to hear, and will unconsciously overlook what children are actually saying. They can’t hear clearly and are unable to truly understand the child’s expression. And you can see that their physical state of being is one of anxiety.

I love them so much because they’re about as sharp as a baseball and their anatomy is ridiculous to the point of them literally being classified as plankton for years because they just sort of get blown around by the ocean and look confused, but because they lay more eggs than ANY OTHER VERTEBRATE IN EXISTENCE, evolution can’t stop them
Why is no big predator coming and gnawing on them?
Their biggest defense is that they’re massive and have super tough skin, but they do get hunted by sharks or sea lions sometimes and they just sort of float there like ‘oh bother’ as it happens
Even funnier, because they eat nothing but jellyfish they’re really low in nutritional value anyway, so they basically survive by being not worth eating because they’re like a big floating rice cracker wrapped in leather.
So basically the only reason natural selection hasn’t taken care if them is because they are the most useless fish
yes, they’ve perfected uselessness to the point of being unstoppable
a true inspiration
I bet they are secretly thinking some big fish thoughts.
Wow. General world, never ever ask a child abuse survivor why they didn’t tell anyone sooner. Even if you mean it innocently, it implies they did something wrong. THEY WERE JUST A CHILD. And if they didn’t speak up about it even when they were an adult, it’s because the abuse of a human during its development normalizes abuse and results in the abused having no idea they were/are abused.
Here’s what’s appropriate to say:
“Wow. I’m sorry. That is so tough. I’m glad you were able to realize you were abused and speak about it. You’re smart to have figured that out against such odds and so strong for being able to talk about such a deeply painful thing.”
If you’re curious to know more, here’s an appropriate question:
“What made you realize you were abused?”
No “Why didn’t you…” sentences. Just no. They’ve been through enough. Don’t make them suffer through you too.
