ow my gender ow oof ouch my gender hurts

Gender Hurts? You mean the book by Sheila Jeffreys debunking the trans pseudo-scientific bullshit? Here, have a pdf of it!

Sheila Jeffreys couldn’t debunk her own head out of her ass long enough to provide any kind of evidence for her arguments and Gender Hurts is full of pseudo-scientific garbage this is honestly hilarious there’s so much research discrediting her position and she doesn’t address any of it she just complains about PC censorship and the “transexual empire” like an edgy 14 year old libertarian

this is the most advanced bot I’ve ever seen

That’s because it’s powered by the immortal science of Marxism-Lenninism

Nope

DON’T LET THIS GO UNDER THE RUG IF YOU’RE IN THE UK

“”“"the government won the right to collect everyone’s browsing history”

“Theresa May is planning to introduce huge regulations on the way the internet works, allowing the government to decide what is said online.”

“Some people say that it is not for government to regulate when it comes to technology and the internet,” it states. “We disagree.”

The plans will allow Britain to become “the global leader in the regulation of the use of personal data and the internet”, the manifesto claims.

The manifesto makes reference to those increased powers, saying that the government will work even harder to ensure there is no “safe space for terrorists to be able to communicate online”. That is apparently a reference in part to its work to encourage technology companies to build backdoors into their encrypted messaging services – which gives the government the ability to read terrorists’ messages, but also weakens the security of everyone else’s messages, technology companies have warned. Theresa May intends to allow government to decide what is and isn’t published, the manifesto suggests.“”“

So… This is a literal reason to leave the UK for me now. Like, it’s already predicted that the tories are gonna win by landslide, but yet again just like in the Trump election things are getting swept under the rug.

This is controlling information. This is censorship on a massive scale. This is trying to control how people communicate, and therefore HOW PEOPLE THINK.

This is how THE NAZIS AND STALIN worked. Call me a conspiracy theorist, but upon further research and in this article alone, this screams evil at it’s core. And fucking hell, for me as a UK resident, it’s fucking terrifying.

If you’re a UK resident, DO NOT VOTE CONSERVATIVES AND DO NOT VOTE MAY. VOTE ANYONE (EVEN COMMIE CORBYN), BUT NOT FASCIST MAY. THIS IS FUCKING TERRIFYING. NO. MO
MORE.

Please, reblog this as much as you can, people in the UK need to see this, and I’m not a big blog but people need this so it doesn’t get swept under the rug. Please, don’t let this happen.

Thank you, and may God be with us all, or whoever is out there.

For any followers in the UK! Internet Censorship and the storage of people’s personal info, especially without it being disclosed is a HUGE nono for me, so please reblog if you can to raise some awareness!!

Fidget Tools in Schools

(I posted this as a response to another thread about fidgets, but I figured it needed its own post as well)

Hey guys, 1st grade teacher here!

My school banned the fidget spinners almost immediately after they became a thing. However, they let teachers decide how to deal with them in their classrooms.

What I found was that students saw them as toys, not tools, and didn’t know how to use them appropriately. They knew what they were for – to help them focus – but they didn’t use them that way.

My class has a LOT of students (probably a majority) who could benefit from being able to fidget. Some have identified ADHD or Autism, others don’t and probably never will. So rather than banning the spinners, I said okay.

But here’s the catch. I didn’t just let the kids play with them and say “oh, they just need to fidget.”

I took the time one morning to TEACH the kids how to use fidget tools to actually help them focus. It only took one lesson, and my kids are generally not rule-followers.

As someone who uses fidget tools, I was able to demonstrate for them what it looks like when someone is using them to focus. Basically, it means you’re keeping the fidget low and out of sight (in your lap if you’re sitting or down by your side if you’re standing) and your focus is on the task (or speaker) at hand, not the fidget itself.

Now my students know what the expectation is, and they’ve been great with their fidgets ever since. If they start playing with the fidget tools, all I have to do is say “it’s a tool, not a toy,” and they immediately adjust and use it correctly.

Instead of banning fidgets, schools and teachers need to take about 5-10 minutes and teach kids HOW to fidget.

And no, not every kid who needs a fidget is going to be able to get a doctor’s note. That’s just ridiculous.

This is also a good life skill that children could benefit from learning.

I don’t know how to make the clap emoji on my computer but know that is what I’m trying to convey

Here we are. The best thing to do about fidget tools.
