should i make a new tumblr
All tests should be open book. It’s not like your future boss is going to say, “I need those tax returns finished by noon, but don’t look at any of the financial statements. Do it all from memory.”
Exactly! You should be tested on application of a concept not memory
I’ve told this story before but idc I’m doing it again.
My dad once taught some class at a conference. He gave everyone a worksheet and after watching them flounder for a few minutes on their own he said, “You guys know you can talk to each other and work together, right?” These were industry professionals who suddenly reverted back to that must-not-collaborate mentality when put in a classroom setting.
school fucks us up soo bad
It becomes more and more obvious every year that public school as it exists was designed to prepare people to enter the factory system in the 1930s.
In case anyone didn’t know, the above is literally true. The modern public school system was designed a little over a hundred years ago by captains of industry to train people to do the dehumanizing labor needed on assembly lines.
Human beings crave meaningful work that makes them feel accomplished and resourceful. Humans like to feel like they’re part of a community, and see the results of a job well done. These desires are incompatible with industrial and post-industrial economies, so people have to be brought up in a system that crushes as much of this desire as possible and convinces them that any remaining scrap of yearning for dignified labor is not worth acknowledging or pursuing.
Class periods that aren’t long enough to devote serious thought to a subject; the bells that tell you when it’s time to eat, regardless of when you’re actually hungry; the alienating tedium of standardized testing; these things didn’t develop organically. They were designed by the people who stood to derive the greatest benefit from them.

no offense but it doesn’t feel cool or fun or edgy to be lonely and bitter all the time and i’m really looking forward to loving and being loved
A VERY prolonged sequence at the climax of the films takes place surrounded by flashing lights, the screen spinning etc.
My epilepsy isn’t usually triggered directly by flashing lights but even so I had to close my eyes as this went on for like five minutes and I was genuinely worried
I haven’t seen ANY warnings about this and would NOT have gone without a friend if I’d known, I’m literally typing this on my phone outside the cinema and I’m genuinely worried to walk home on my own in case one comes on.
PLEASE BOOST AND STAY SAFE
i want to talk to ppl but im snervous all the time forever
this is a cinematic masterpiece
don’t kill yourself tonight. I don’t want to live in a world without you in it. Even if it doesn’t seem like it right now things will get better. Your problems are temporary and suicide is permanent. So please stay, even if you have to convince yourself each night… please stay
This post saved 2 lives this evening. Never underestimate the power of words and letting someone know you care. I’m so grateful for those who have stayed.
Stay safe, teacups, I love you all. I really thought that the things that made me want to kill myself were permanent but I was wrong – I didn’t consider the fact that those things could stay but the way they made me feel could change. Now I’m so, so grateful to be alive despite the bad things in the world. I had some close calls but I made it through & I really hope you can too. Not killing myself was the best decision I ever made

[lies down] [falls asleep] [evil clown materializes in my room and watches me sleep all night]
