So Within Two Days Of Each Other, Fox News Writes An Article Comparing Aromanticism And Asexuality To

So within two days of each other, Fox News writes an article comparing aromanticism and asexuality to pedophilia, and then Matt Walsh releases a video saying asexuality is a mental illness and asexuals are tricking teenagers into having depression.

Not sure what’s going on right now over in Conservative World, but it’s a hell of wild U-turn for them to suddenly switch from “Oh no! The left is sexualizing our children!” to “Oh no! The left is asexualizing our children!”

It makes me so sad that this is what homeschool is known for and apparently what the majority is. I was home schooled because my mum never got on with school, and when she saw my two older sisters were struggling with school at 5 and 7 she did what she wished her mum had done and taught them at home. We were all given the chance to go to school if we wanted, two of my siblings did once they were older, me and my other sibling decided not to. We learnt what we were interested in, plus english and maths mixed in. The result is 4 well rounded women, each pursuing careers that they are passionate about, all very left wing, and not afraid to speak their mind. Home schooling can be great when it comes from a place of putting the children's needs and education first, not trying to control how your child thinks.

love how all these homeschooling/unschooling tiktok moms just admit their problem with public school is not stress and bullying but that their children might end up disagreeing with their political views and lifestyle.

um excuse me? when did we all decide that the value of a degree rested on the earnings after graduation? and how can you honestly compare the skills learned in a humanities degree to those of a vocational degree like nursing or even engineering? and what happened to ummmm i dunno learning because learning is fun and good and knowledge for the sake of knowledge? and of course this is going to marginalise people who are already marginalised because why wouldn’t it.

some important words from bisexual magazines/letters

Commercial archaeologist here. In the UK planning permission often requires an archaeological investigation. In those investigations we find all sort of artefacts: pottery, flints, animal bone, and human bone. Once these artefacts have been through post excavation, where they are cleaned, analysed and reported on, they need to be stored somewhere. The 'somewhere' where they are eventually stored are local museums. Without museums we have no where to store these important discoveries, and no way of showing and telling people about the history of their local landscapes. Museums aren't all like the British Museum full of stolen artefacts, they are small local things full of archaeology from the areas surrounding them and they are vitally important to commercial archaeology and all the wonderful knowledge that is stored in the earth. Please support museums!

a lot of ppl in the notes of the previous post are mentioning museums hoarding stolen cultural objects which is important beyond measure but museums shutting down due to lack of funding will not result in repatriation of cultural materials, they would most likely be auctioned off to private ultra-wealthy collectors to recoup some of their debt and we’d never find these objects again let alone be able to repatriate them. i understand the desire to say ‘fuck museums let them die’ for this reason but it won’t have the result you think it will, and it will also mean that all of their ethically sourced and donated materials (which for most museums are the vast majority of their collections) will no longer be cared for by experts but again, sold off to private collectors who can do whatever they want with them or deteriorate in storehouses indefinitely. this would be catastrophic for public history and collective knowledge-sharing across the globe across cultures, and museums in post-colonial and run by/for racialized or otherwise oppressed ethnic groups will fall first because they receive FAR less funding than the large western institutions. just repeating phrases and sentiments you’ve seen online as a form of performative activism without knowing anything about what you’re talking about does more harm than good and doesn’t make you look smart or clever just foolish it’s so deeply annoying and frustrating
