Some more advice for fellow adults: set your ego aside and let younger people (even kids!) educate and teach you. There is no shame in looking to a younger person for education and knowledge. It is, actually, a big facet of humanity that we teach each other - why, then, does that teacher need to be the Right Age in order for you to be willing to learn from them?

#youth liberation #adultism #i'm looking to a younger person to teach me about crochet and it's actually FINE #it's actually not an attack on Your Ego that a young person is more knowledgeable about something or possesses a talent at a level you dont!#and personally i like learning from younger people because they tend to be kind and PASSIONATE about what they are talented at!#like the young person i'm learning crochet from has this super bubbly and energetic personality and that's MOTIVATING me #and it feels less like they're just dictating crochet at me and more like we're equals sharing a passion and a craft #and THAT is what makes people want to learn. THAT is what will keep people engaged and motivated even when it gets tough #frankly it's just... kind of a red flag to me when somebody devalues younger people SO MUCH that they REFUSE to listen or learn from them #it's just... arrogance and cruelty for the sake of cruelty in my eyes

Cringe culture ruined being a kid.

I keep seeing the idea that teen members of Gen Z are the last generation to experience an actual childhood and honestly? I agree.

We as a society have made being a child so hostile, so miserable, that kids aren't interested in being young anymore.

How children are constantly told to grow up, how the color has been sucked out of the world, how because of cringe culture children will be fucking torn apart by grown adults all over the internet, how children are experiencing crisis after crisis. Children are shamed for their interests and hobbies and style by grown ass adults and teens who are far too old to be doing this. How kids aren't allowed to be anywhere without being made fun of by adults who are miserable.

Being a child is fucking hostile now, and I don't blame this generation of kids for trying too hard to be mature/grown. Because people treat children like shit, so who would want to be one?

#Childhood #Cringe culture #anti cringe culture #Not entirely sure what #Youthlib #Youth lib #youth liberation #Is but I'm sure it's relevant #Still learning about that lol #Youth #Kids #Children #child development #Bullying #Anti bullying

loving yourself...

... doesn't just mean accepting yourself as you are.

it's more about accepting and loving who you are right now, while also caring about yourself enough to see if you can make things better for yourself.

self love is a journey, not a destination. keep going and keep loving yourself ✨

I want to underscore that the creator of the audio has stated multiple times in their other videos (and in the full length video this audio is from), that she recognizes that voting/demonstrating/calling your reps DOES indeed have an impact, however, they go on to explain that the impact is simply NOT ENOUGH at this point; that by itself, protest is ineffective without making other disruptions to the system. I highly encourage you to check out his other videos. She has a lot of great content that breaks things down.

that one line about ramy's bangla being rudimentary made me absolutely sob (i'm bengali) and i wanna talk about why

there's so much to it both contextually with ramy's character as well as historically. contextually because ramy is fluent in 6 languages, an insane number of languages for one person but none of which are his mother tongue. he's described as a performer, one who knows he can't blend in so instead he stands out as a means to escape as much of the racism as he can. he gets lost in it that he almost forgets who he is; this is reflected in his language ability too – he gets so lost in his linguistic academics he just barely remembers the native language of his home place that he adores.

and honestly, you can't even really blame ramy for it at all when it was induced. it's the british who saw urdu, arabic and persian as more valuable than bangla, it's the british that make ramy put on this act so he can literally stay alive. and when you know the historical relevancies between urdu and bangla, it hurts so much that ramy was forced to forget bangla

very brief history context: after the partition, where british india was split into india, pakistan and east pakistan (now bangladesh) bangla was seen as inferior to urdu due to its hindu connections. bengalis experienced so much shit because of this (and bengali muslims are still dealing with the internalised cultural racism today honestly). pakistanis tried to make the official language urdu, even though literally everyone in east pakistan were bengali and spoke bangla, so bengalis fought back against it. we still celebrate that day today (feb 21)

so to have ramy be in this position in the 1830s where urdu was seen as superior to bangla, especially when ramy is a bengali muslim, is just extremely accurate?? and maybe it's bc we don't have much western literature where we talk about this but it's just so nice to have it acknowledged

the bangla language movement didn't happen until around the 1950s, over a century after babel's timeline, but the seeds are always there. while i do think it comes with both this islamic superiority tendency a lot of asians have (arabs i'm looking at you) and britian's imperialistic racism, i just love how it all makes sense

#babel rf kuang #ramiz rafi mirza #i'm still learning a lot abt my own culture so don't ask me for a lot of information about this lol #yk when i found out ramy was bengali it set my world off its course and i knew i had to read this book even if no bangla was discussed #i knew i was gonna get attached to him and I DID!#he just means so much to me and while he made me sob multiple times i love what kuang did with his character #also if youre pakistani lol don't try to defend yourself #you don't get to after pakistanis massacred so many bengalis during the bangladesh liberation war #babel an arcane history #babel or the necessity of violence #also i love seeing south asian characters become fandom favourites i know most babel lovers love ramy IKTRRR

The situation in Israel is heartbreaking. There is nothing “progressive” about rooting for civilians to die, no matter who they are. Any activist saying this is seriously disturbed. Hamas does not represent Palestine- they are a terrorist group funded by Iran. If you spoke out about Iran months ago, why are you now rooting for a group backed by Iran now?

Israel contains half the world’s entire tiny Jewish population- rooting for their civilians to die means you’re rooting for half of all Jews to die, which is antisemitic. You can be against their government and in favor of a free Palestine without saying that killing civilians is resistance. You can also be against what’s happening to Israeli civilians without calling for the same to happen to Arabs, as I’ve unfortunately seen a few do. That is just thinly veiled racism and Islamophobia. The majority of Israelis and Palestinians want peace and do not support extremism.

If you would punch a nazi in America but engage in antisemitism by rooting for Jews in another country to die at the hands of another terrorist group, you are an antisemite and need to reflect a LOT. Your desire to not ever be “wrong” when the majority of Jews tell you your ideology is lacking nuance is hurting people- value Jewish people more than your own ego, please

Can you imagine the concept of education – of learning – without artificial scarcity or competition?

What would your educational goals be – for yourself, for your children, for your community, for your country – if you eliminated the framework of competition, hierarchy, or ranking?

I was thinking this when listening to someone say that every parent wants their children to have “every advantage,” and how completely warped that is. Why would you want your child to have an advantage? You should want your child to have the best possible life, but “an advantage” necessitates someone to have an advantage over. When I say I want everyone to have the best possible life, I mean literally everyone, and I mean “best” relative to “all possible life circumstances,” not relative to “all possible other people.”

The person I was talking to didn’t even understand the distinction I was making. The framework, the cultural idea, doesn’t exist, of wanting children to learn things, master skills, and have a high quality of life, without reference to learning more than someone else, being better at skills than someone else, or having a higher quality of life than someone else. Learning is an infinite resource. There is no reason it should be scarce. There is no reason someone’s ability to learn should take away from someone else’s ability to learn.

The resources to facilitate learning – teachers, textbooks, enrollment slots in a particular school – might be finite, but learning itself is infinite. And we can always train more teachers, print more textbooks, and build more schools, if we have the public will to do it. There is no reason that anyone’s experience of learning should have to be any lesser than any other person’s, or that comparisons like that should even be the relevant frame of reference. When I try to argue that educational competition is bad, people rebut me by arguing that education is good. We could unpack what kinds of learning are considered “education,” and why some forms of learning are considered essential for everyone and others are considered optional, but that’s not especially relevant to my point. “Education” and “educational competition” are not the same thing. When I say that focusing on 2 year old children being “ready to compete in preschool” is horrifying, people inform me that preschool is good. Sure, preschool can be good. But why does it have to center on “competition” instead of letting literal babies learn at their own pace? We have a society where babies, as soon as they’re born, are put on a path of competition with other newborns, and we think this is normal. It’s bizarre. Even when people do critique the culture of educational competition, they come up with bonkers galaxy brain that reading to children is wrong because it gives them an “unfair advantage” – and that STILL doesn’t challenge the underlying premise that the purpose of education should be “competition”!

To be clear, I want to spell out what I’m NOT saying.

I’m not saying that competition should never be used as a tool in education. Competition can be an incentive or a way to make learning fun. If a school spelling bee makes it more fun for everyone to study spelling, that’s great. But what is the GOAL? Is it competition as a tool towards the goal of learning, or learning as a tool towards the goal of competition? There is a huge difference between “A fun class competition can incentivize students to further the goal of everyone learning more” and “Learning is useful because it furthers the goal of these children ‘defeating’ those children in competition.” And what are the consequences of “success” or “failure”?

I’m not saying “And that’s why parents should send their kids to public school instead of private school.” Milquetoast liberals at publications like The Atlantic sometimes critique the competitive-private-school culture of educational competition (while constantly promoting it in every other context), but only to argue that, out of “fairness”, everyone should go to public school instead. Milquetoast liberals see universal public schooling, beginning in infancy, as the solution, because they identify the problem as “We shouldn’t be hierarchically ranking children on unfair things like race and class; instead, we should be purely hierarchically ranking children in some kind of ‘fair’ way.” That is still hierarchically ranking children! There is no “fair” way to do that! Public schools rank children in a hierarchy. Private schools rank children in a hierarchy. Homeschooling families rank children in a hierarchy even when they have no one to rank against! I am not interested in making hierarchies “more fair” (which they can never be) or “equal” (which is an oxymoron).

I’m not saying “Everyone’s educational experience should be the same, because that’s equality.” For one thing, equality is not sameness. For another thing, I’m not even really advocating “equality.” I’m advocating universal supportive education. And if everyone in the entire world had access to universal supportive education, there would probably be a wide disparity in what people would learn and pursue. Which is a good thing! No one person can know everything, so it’s good for people to diversify and specialize. The only reason there’s so much pressure to standardize educational experiences is to make it easier to assign people places in the hierarchy. Our society has really concluded “We can’t objectively rank an art student against a physics student, so the obvious solution is to eliminate art” rather than “Why are we ranking people?” Furthermore, universal supportive education can be lifelong, so there’s no time or age by which someone who hasn’t learned something has “missed their chance.”

What I am saying is that we should reimagine what education and learning can look like if we break out of the limiting framework of competition and hierarchy. We can build a society where everyone is free and supported to learn in the way that works for them without a system that necessitates “losers” to be dominated and defeated.

The Unofficial Black History Book

Huey P. Newton (1942-1989)

'The Revolution has always been in the hands of the young. The young always inherit the revolution.' - Huey Newton

This is his story.

Huey Percy Newton was born on February 17th, 1942, in Monroe, Louisiana. The youngest of seven children to Armelia Johnson and Walter Newton, he was named after former Governor of Louisiana, Huey Long.

His family relocated to Oakland, California, in search of better economic opportunities in 1945. His family struggled financially and frequently relocated, but he never went hungry or homeless.

Growing up in Oakland, Newton recalled his white teachers making him feel ashamed for being African-American, despite never being taught anything useful. In his Autobiography, ‘Revolutionary Suicide’, he wrote – “Was made to feel ashamed of being black. During those long years in Oakland Public Schools, I did not have one teacher who taught me anything relevant to my own life or experience. Not one instructor ever awoke in me a desire to learn more or to question or to explore the worlds of literature, science, and history. All they did was try to rob me of the sense of my own uniqueness and worth, and in the process nearly killed my urge to inquire.”

He also had a troubled childhood; he was arrested several times as a teenager for gun possession and vandalism.

Huey was illiterate when he graduated from high school, but he taught himself to read and write by studying poetry before enrolling at Merritt College.

During his time there, he supported himself by breaking into homes in Oakland and Berkeley Hills and committing other minor offenses. He also attended Oakland College and San Francisco Law School, ostensibly to improve his criminal skills.

He joined Pi Beta Sigma Fraternity while still a student at Merritt College and met Bobby Seale, a political activist and engineer. Huey also fought for curriculum diversification, the hiring of more black instructors, and involvement in local political activities in the Bay Area.

In addition, he was exposed to a rising tide of Black Nationalism and briefly joined the Afro-American Association, where he studied Frantz Fanon, Che Guevara, Mao Zedong, E. Franklin Frazier, James Baldwin, Karl Marx, and Vladimir Lenin.

Huey had adopted a Marxist/Leninist viewpoint in which he saw the black community as an internal colony ruled by outside forces such as white businessmen, City Hall, and the police. In October 1966, he and Bobby Seale founded The Black Panther Party for self-defense, believing that the black working class needed to seize control of the institutions that most affected their community.

It was a coin toss that resulted in Newton becoming defense minister and Seale becoming chairman of the Black Panther Party. Newton’s job as the Minister of Defense and main leader of the Black Panther Party was to write in the Ten-Point Program, the founding document of the Party, and he demanded that blacks need the “Power to determine the destiny of our Black Community”. It would allow blacks to gain “Land, bread, housing, education, clothing, justice, and peace.”

The Panthers took advantage of a California law allowing people to carry non-concealed weapons and established armed patrols that monitored police activity in the Black Community.

One of the main points of focus for the Black Panther Party was the right to self-defense. Newton believed and preached that sometimes violence, or even the threat of violence, is required to achieve one's goals.

Members of the Black Panther Party once stormed the California Legislature while fully armed in order to protest the outcome of a gun bill.

Newton also established the Free Breakfast for Children Program, martial arts training for teenagers, and educational programs for children from low-income families.

The Black Panthers believed that in the Black struggle for justice, violence or the potential for violence may be necessary.

The Black Panthers had chapters in several major cities and over 2,000 members. Members became involved in several shoot-outs after being harassed by police.

On October 28, 1967, the Panthers and the police exchanged gunfire in Oakland. Huey was injured in the crossfire, and while recovering in the hospital, he was charged with killing an Oakland police officer, John Frey.

He was convicted of voluntary manslaughter the following year.

Huey was regarded as a political prisoner, and the Panthers organized a 'Free Huey' campaign led by Panther Party Minister Eldridge Cleaver. And Charles R. Geary, a well-known attorney who was in charge of Newton’s legal defense.

Newton was found guilty of voluntary manslaughter in 1968 and sentenced to 2-15 years in prison. However, the California Appellate Court ordered a new trial in May 1970. The conviction was reversed on appeal, the case was dismissed by the California Supreme Court, and Huey was acquitted.

Huey renounced political violence after being released from prison. Over a six-year period, 24 Black Panther members were killed in gunfights with the police. Another member, George Jackson, was killed in August 1971 while serving time in San Quentin Prison.

The Black Panther Party, under the leadership of Newton, gained international support. This was most evident in 1970 when Newton was invited to visit China. Large crowds greeted him enthusiastically, holding copies of "Quotations from Chairman Mao Tse-tung," as well as signs supporting the Panther Party and criticizing US imperialism.

In the early 1970s, Newton's leadership of the Black Panther Party contributed to its demise. He oversaw a number of purges of Party members, the most famous of which was in 1971 when he expelled Eldridge Cleaver in what became known as the Newton-Cleaver split over the party's primary function.

Newton wanted the party to be solely focused on serving African-American communities, whereas Cleaver believed the party should be focused on developing relationships with international revolutionary movements. The schism resulted in violence between the factions and the deaths of several Black Panther members. The Black Guerrilla Family (BGF) was one of several factions that had broken away from the main party.

Then, in 1974, Newton was accused of assaulting a 17-year-old prostitute named Kathleen Smith, who later died, raising the charge to murder. Instead of facing trial, Huey fled to Cuba with his girlfriend at the time, where he remained for three years. The key witness in the trial was Crystal Gray. And three Black Panther members attempted to assassinate her before she gave her testimony.

Huey returned to the States in 1976 to stand trial but denied any involvement. The jury was deadlocked, and Newton was eventually acquitted after two mistrials.

In 1978, he enrolled in the History of Consciousness program at the University of California, Santa Cruz, and earned his Doctorate in 1980.

"War Against the Panthers: A Study of Repression in America," his dissertation, was later turned into a book.

On charges of embezzling Panther Party funds, Huey P. Newton was sentenced to 6 months in prison followed by 18 months on probation in 1982.

On August 22, 1989, Newton was assassinated by a member of the BGF, named Tyrone Robinson.

Huey was 46 years old at the time of his assassination. Robinson was convicted of Huey’s murder in 1991 and sentenced to 32 years to life in prison.

His wife, Fredricka Newton, carried on his legacy. 'Revolutionary Suicide,' his autobiography, was first published in 1973 and then republished in 1995.

Huey Newton was not perfect, but he did fight to protect the rights of the Black Community. The rights that we're still fighting for today.

What's crazy about the Harry Potter thing is how many people already knew liberals were closer to accepting fascism than fighting it and now not only are they proving us right, but they're still trying to convince us that their actions don't represent them somehow.

They want us to swallow the same logic they use to engage with JKR in the first place "separate the art from the artist" separate the consumer from what's being consumed.

Hold nobody accountable for anything that exists.

FUCK that.

Like babes, you can justify buying a transphobic white-supremacy game for some nostalgic dopamine but justifying Not owning it for the sake of trans, Jewish, and disabled lives is going too far?

Well Normal People who are not apologetic to Nazi-ideology and white supremacists don't think there's any justification for partaking in a book based in Nazi ideology just for dopamine. Especially when the author is still alive and breathing and using money from the white supremacy book to support white supremacist policies and TERFs that she "admires."

Do you hear yourselves? How are you trying to justify this? Who are you even trying to convince that it's okay? "I know I bought and love the Nazi game but only because it's so personal to me, so that should be allowed"

Like the fact JKR's views are common knowledge, they are easily found in relation to Any news at all about HP, and that the HP klan has had years to get over this and they just haven't.

You are what you do. Just like JKR.

And she's a fucking white supremacist.

Sooooo

#is it just me or did anyone else start associating liberals with HP #decolstw #harry potter #harry potter legacy #hogwarts legacy #between the anti-semitism and fatphobia and bioessnetialism and racism and ableism.#like shes a white supremacist #we can say that and we Should to stress how harmful her views are #shes absolutely pushing an agenda and has funded that agenda herself #call a spade a spade. she's a fucking white supremacist #shes a nazi #not just a TERF #shes an objectively bad an immoral person #like it's one thing to engage in nazi books critically and with a specific goal in mind: like learning to recognize antisemitic tropes #but its another thing entirely to engage in nazi books because you Like them and think theyfe Fun and Good books

I see you! I see you trying to get smaller chests and hurting yourselves with weight loss routines #and excessive workouts. it's not worth it. weight loss has OVER a 90% long-term failure rate and there's a reason for that #I assure you whatever diet you think you've found that “works for you” won't be working so well 5 years from now #and you're going to blame yourself for “slacking off”. but it's not you. it was never you. it was designed to fail.#these standards are made to hurt people and then sell them a false solution at the price of your health #I encourage you to transition if you'd like and live your best life I really do. but please please please do so SAFELY.#if weight loss is part of your transition goals please reevaluate WHY you believe thinness is necessary for achieving femininity #(or masculinity or androgyny but this stuff particularly affects women in the way it's marketed)#do research on fatphobia and the roots of weight loss culture.

can u help give a definition for what mad pride is and where I can learn about it

Hi! We will do our best to give a definition, but keep in mind that Mad Pride is quite a broad movement - it is intertwined with Mad Liberation and Antipsychiatry, which involve entire schools of thought and academic fields.

Mad Pride, in summary, is a movement in which people take pride in being neurodivergent, mentally ill / disordered, mentally disabled, intellectually disabled, and any variance of the mind that isn't considered "normal" by the psychiatric institution or society at large.

The label of "Mad" is in reference to "madness", and is used as an umbrella term. It is a reclamation of derogatory terms used against those who are mentally atypical. People in the movement often also reclaim terms such as crazy, insane, lunatic, etc. The point is to demonstrate that being mad is not something to be ashamed of.

Currently, people are incarcerated against their will solely for being mentally disordered, or even just abnormal in any way. Any sort of neurodivergence is pathologized and treated as something that must be forcefully cured. Many people do not get a say in their treatment, and they are often coerced into taking medications or doing treatments that they don't want. Psychiatry as an institution largely seeks to force people into normalcy, and has a long history of being used as a tool of oppression against people of color, women, queer people, and more.

Mad Liberation is the movement that seeks to give people autonomy in how they deal with their mental health. It is (generally) anti-incarceration, against the blanket pathologizing of neurodivergency, against forcing people into any sort of treatment, and against the idea that people who are mentally disordered in some way must be cured. Central to the movement is the autonomy of individuals to decide what's best for them, no matter how mad they are.

Here's a good list of literature related to Mad Liberation, as well as a few other resources.

What if Psychiatry is Fake? by Mia Mulder is a good introductory youtube video to some of the problems with the institution of psychiatry.

#mad pride #mad liberation #i hope this is a decent explanation its late af when we're writing this #wish we had more introductory resources but oh well #we learned about by mostly interacting with the community and learning about people's experiences #and learning how psychiatry has been used as a tool of oppression #anyone is free to add more resources!!

there are a lot of goyim esp from other Marginalised backgrounds that are taking the wrong lessons away from the fact that it turns out that a group of primarily socialist/communist people from an extremely oppressed cultural group with deep ties to an area are in fact more than capable of founding a regional settler colonial ethnostate in that area, a state that was capable of the mass dislocation and then intergenerational imprisonment of hundreds of thousands and then millions of people, and that while many non Jews feel morally pure and free of this ideology, the reality of the situation should terrify everyone

#Like a lot of you would have gotten into it #I have a longer post in me about how tziyonut is probably the colonial ideology most reflected in a bunch of decolonial circles tha #That consider themselves free of this ideology #But if there’s anything I’ve learned in the last week it’s that people take ethnic signposting #Over actual considerations of ideology #Like I think a lot of the weirdness around tziyonut is the fact that people see it as the ultimate big bad in violent ideologies and als #And also something wierd and jewy?#They can feel comfy decrying an ideology that isn’t *theres*#But digging into the ideology and history that is the profound moral tragedy of how a specific plan put forward for the liberation of on #Oppressed people ended up in the mass oppression and displacement of another #Yields a situation that is much more morally taxing and uncomfortable for everyone #I’m seeing stuff about how an oppressed people has right to limitless force and there are no civillians in the enemey #That would have done absolute numbers with the haganah #Like. It’s that I would never -#You don’t know what you would do actually #In those situations. You don’t know #And furthermore the signposting over ideology means that the same people who feel the need to harass every Jew they know are often r #Reblogging stuff ripped out of the logic book or the exact ideology they claim to revile once removed #From a Jewish context
