“The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”
-Orwell, 1984
Normally, I feel like people are way too liberal in calling things “Orwellian”, because I’ve seen people claim everything from speed limits to environmental laws to privately owned security cameras in stores as being “Orwellian”, but Trump, in this instance, is utterly Orwellian.

Many thanks to Women Cinemakers for featuring me and interviewing me in their new Special, which just came out today. I am on page 164, and I talk about the process of filmmaking and how I made “Deaf Brown Gurl.”
MOM OF THE YEAR. WHERE WAS THIS ATTITUDE WHEN I WAS IN GRADE SCHOOL.
There’s a difference between not sharing and refusing to be bullied.
I lost count of the number of times I was forced to share my toys as a kid, only to have them disappear into the neighbours’ houses and never be seen again.
Not only the kids’ stuff, either. We loaned a neighbor a drill once and two weeks later, they moved.
Two sides. Yes, children should learn to share. Don’t hog all the pencils for example, if they’re classroom supplies and not personal supplies.
Yes, children are allowed to say no, especially when it’s their own stuff.
And yes, children are still allowed to say no when it’s their turn to use something, e.g. a toy in the classroom like blocks or a doll or a book. It’s a lesson in patience for the child that was told no. And a lesson of emotionally learning to deal with being told no.
I don’t believe in the whole “don’t tell children no” bull crap some of the newer teaching strategies insist upon. They won’t learn anything if they’re not told no now and then.
Two words are used in the first story. “Demanded”. “Required”. Once those two words are evident in a situation the situation is no longer about “Sharing”.
It’s about “Extortion”. How can I make you give me what is not mine to have?
The kids ran to tattle to his mother. Nasty little fuckers decided to add “Manipulation” to the mix.
You know what’s next? Name calling. The kid will get a reputation as being “Selfish”. Always watch out for that word.
Calling another person “Selfish” means “They will not give me their stuff when I demanded and required it be handed over so now I am going to slander their name.”
Can you tell I have no tolerance for this shit at all?
so they released a few videos on how pokemon follow behind you in Pokemon Let’s Go and its like:
Venusaur jumping like a frog!! good stuff i can support this
Electrode just slowly rolls behind you, can’t ask for much from this round friend!
…then it cuts to Caterpie and just
IT CANT EVEN KEEP UP. I’M DEAD SOMEONE PLEASE HELP THIS WORM
PICK IT UP OR SOMETHING AM I GOING TO HAVE TO SPEND THE WHOLE GAME CONSTANTLY SLOWING DOWN SO I DON’T HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE GUILT OF LEAVING MY DEFENSELESS WORM BEHIND ME???
knowing so many people who have been through really unspeakable horrible things and having a few bad things in my own past too, i think there’s nothing that is more commendable for a traumatized person than, like, being able to just….live and grow
so many people assume “oh if you don’t get a job/get married/go to school/etc youre not successful” but for a lot of people it’s an incredible fight just to keep going every single day and i’m really proud of those people for keeping on no matter how hard it’s gotten, because even if sometimes you take a few steps back you keep going forward on that path
even if you do nothing but like eat chips and play video games, for fucks sake youre not dead, and a lot of people seem to forget that, like, that can be an achievement in and of itself.
i dont want to say like “just give up on doing things like going to school” because it’s important to do those things if/when it’s possible for you, but if all you can do is take care of your health and keep fighting, then it’s something you should be proud of! so many people will try to drill into your head that if you’re not Being Productive nothing you do matters but if you’re just fighting to stay afloat then it’s in your best interest to focus on that and be happy with yourself for keeping your head above water
literally so many people would never be able to walk a mile in your shoes, so remember that next time someone gives you shit for having a hard time. they probably couldn’t go through what you have.
