Eight sides to everything!

So I’ve been teaching 6th grade since January, and one thing about my female students which made me upset to realize is how many of them are obsessed with skincare. I've heard the girls in my class discussing the EYE CREAM they use. Like tf you mean eye cream? You're ELEVEN!!! I'm a decade older than you and have never even touched eye cream!! The most skincare a middle schooler needs is cleanser and moisturizer, maybe some acne cream. Who tf is selling you all this other stuff? Who tf told you you needed all this?

It hurts me to see. Their brains are too young for these types of insecurities 😭 no 11 year old girl should be obsessed with wrinkles, I wanna beat tf out of whatever tiktoker made them believe they needed skin that perfect

Do you know how fucking miserable it is to watch a group of 11 year old girls obsessively check their skin on pocket mirrors? And hear them talk about how they need new products to fix “imperfections” created by tiktok?? I just taught them last week what the OCEAN TIDES are. I helped one of them spell the word “conduction” yesterday. They just learned what the atmosphere is. Who the fuck is telling these literal children that they need eye cream??!! When I catch you!!!

I really think people have forgotten just how bad things were under the Trump Administration. Literally every day there was news about some service being cut or someone terrible appointed somewhere they shouldn't be or what have you. He constantly flirted with WW3 and military dictatorship. It was such a blur of badness that there aren't big standouts for people to point to to make him "the XYZ president." it was everything. all the time. Why do we not remember this.

Remember how everyone learned Zelenskyys name? he wasn't the presiden of Ukraine standing up against a longshot defense against a Russian invasion. He was that guy that Trump tried to extort in order to get blackmail against Joe Biden.

Can anyone name the current secretary of education? I can't. But I can list the shitty things Betsy DeVos did

He was extorting Zelenskyy by threatening aid to Ukraine.

He assassinated an Iranian general. Luckily the Iranians are smarter than him and didn’t start a war over it.

He move the US Embassy in Israel to Jerusalem.

He started a trade war with China for no reason.

He was just constantly picking stupid fights with everyone.

Just a ton of stupidity internationally, in addition to heinous domestic policies like trying to deliberately destroy the Postal Service, reversing tons of anti discrimination rules, just axing regulations with no regard what they were for.

And through it all, the President’s latest Tweet was prime time news every single night.

Not only can we not go back to this, that's actually a best case scenario under a second Trump presidency.

Worst case scenario is that he greenlights Project 2025 and we just literally all live in an actual fascist dictatorship.

Hey remember how he antagonized Kim Jong Un?

Remember Charlottesville, the kids in cages with the family separation policy, Trump appointing a rapist to a lifetime Supreme Court appointment, him putting 1/3 of current justices on the Court to overturn Roe, the Muslim Ban, him leaving Puerto Rico to rot after Hurricane Maria, his entire COVID response, him encouraging violence against BLM protesters ("when the looting starts, the shooting starts"), him ending DACA and TPS, and you know, him trying to be president for life and the entirety of January 6th?

It was constantly so bad, and I don't trust anyone who downplays the persistent chaos of those 4 years.

ngl I hate being in TV/film fandoms bc people get so fucking weird about actors

examples of the things i mean:

  • X actor is being silenced by the writers on their good opinions that would otherwise align with mine you can see it in their micro expressions
  • X actor is internally pushing the agenda for thing I don’t like from the inside you can see it from their jokey asides in interviews and social media posts
  • X actor secretly despises Y actor and I have some random screenshots of micro expressions to prove it
  • thing X actor did or said reflects poorly on all fans of the character they play
  • X and Y actors are secretly fucking and they just happen to play the characters in a ship I like
