I think you will find that with their inherent understanding of three dimensional space from living in a truly three dimensional environment mermaids make the best astronomers.

I was debating pre- and post- smartphone existentialism with an older gentleman today and he stopped part way through and said “Why are you a security guard? Why aren’t you teaching this at some college somewhere?” And I didn’t know what to say so I went with “Well I used to make art but nobody pays an artist”

I want to invoke thought and wonder and introspection and encourage the passions of every soul I meet forever and ever and dig until I find the glorious potential for creation and experience and joy in every single one but unfortunately I must pay rent and so I stand, a meat shield, an NPC with unlockable dialogue

Why is this even a question? How is your child meant to learn to apologize when you don’t do it yourself as a parent?

This is actually a really important factor in how I establish healthy, trusting relationships with kiddos at work. I am a human and therefore make mistakes, which children will catch and call me out for, because children are information sponges with no verbal filters.

When a kid says, “but miss tommy, i thought you said we’re not supposed to do that,” I answer, “You’re right. I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have done that. I won’t do it again.” It could be something small, maybe a kid sees me biting my nails, or maybe I grabbed a kid by the arm who was about to collide with something solid but I grabbed too hard. Whatever it is, it’s important to

Not only does this model HOW to make an effective apology, but it establishes trust on many levels. The children who witness the exchange now know that:

Apologize to your kids when you mess up! It won’t diminish your authority as their grown-up, it shows that you respect that authority!

This is one thing emotionally abusive parents are known for. Holding power over accountability and they wonder why their children don’t want to be around when they get older.

Yes. Yes so much yes.

This really goes for all adults who regularly interact with kids.

You’d be amazed how quickly an apology can help a situation with a difficult kid. How fast you can get a kid to listen to you if you acknowledge their feelings and ways you have, however intentionally or not, upset them. How much that can change their whole day to have an adult actually really talk to them like someone who matters.

“ Holding power over accountability “

Snap. Yeah, that. It’s absolutely amazing just how draining and damaging the simple refusal of a parent to apologise when they’re being terrible is to your emotional well-being…

Now this is funny

Capitalism only values nature by how it can be exploited.

Case in point. 

People in my replies be like “bUt wHaT aBoUt fRuIt TrEes and CaMpInG GrOuNdS”. Yes that’s pretty much my point. Trees are only valuable if you can make money off them or hijack them for human activities, rather than because they literally sustain life on earth.

In capitalism’s eyes, everything is but a tool or resource to make profit. Workers and nature alike. A forest is not inherently “valuable” to a capitalist; individual people are treated as “human resources” and labour for 8 - 13 hours per day, most days of their life, until they’re physically too old to continue.

We will only attain a better world when nature and people become inherently valuable, rather than something to exploit.
