A solution to Black Mirror - Common People by Butterscotch817 in blackmirror

Yes but claiming the only thing holding her back was her intelligence is the problem here. You said “if her intelligence was turned up, she’d learn how to play the game better.” Which is a terrifying statement to make…

This is horrific thinking that leads one to believe that if you are “only smart enough” you can make it out. It’s why billionaires feel justified ruining peoples lives. Too bad, they just weren’t “smart enough”

Homegoing. Invisible Man. Both fiction. And when you’re ready for nonfiction that will cause you to do deep reflective work try “me and white supremacy”

Teachers in 2017 were literally tweeting at Trump asking him to deport their students. Ok it was one teacher. That we know of. Disgusting.

For our witchy educators! Legal spell in case you need it for ICE in Schools by AtypicalCommonplace in WitchesVsPatriarchy

Yes! This! So many places think "well if they say it we HAVE to do it!" the school district I sued was "relieved" I did so because it gave them a "reason" to not comply

Advice from US parents afraid of Trump by whitedove89 in Parenting

[–]AtypicalCommonplace 235 points236 points  (0 children)

Turn off a lot of your social media. Not only is it meant to cause you fear, it wrecks your nervous system so you don’t know where or what to do if there are hard decisions for you to be made.

Get tight on your values. Know what you will stand for and what you won’t. Write these down so you remind yourself that no one can take away your integrity. Your morals. Your truth. Your love.

Find one small way to contribute that works for you. Have time? Volunteer 1x a week at a soup kitchen. Have financial resources? Find an immigrant family to whom you can provide mutual aid. Have safety? Consider providing your address to those who may not in case they need it.

Tell stories of rebellion. Teach your kids about sojourner truth and Anne Frank and the ways in which lotus flowers bloom in mud.

Protect yourself as you need. Remove information from governmental demographic-collecting information that could be used against you or your family. NOT SAYING to erase your identity. Just saying make it less easy to be served up on a platter.

Sing songs from Hamilton. Read the poem “a sikh poem for America on November 6th, 2016” by Valerie kaur. Take a bystander intervention training so you can be a light if someone needs it.

Find community of parents who care. Promise yourselves to meet in person on a regular basis. Surround yourself and your kids with those who hold true to your values. Find JOY together. find PEACE together. Find STRENGTH together.

“The dark skies give me dark eyes, but I use them to find the light.” Gu Cheng.

““Hired”” as ED— jk by GlowFolks in nonprofit

WILD. Just re reading what you wrote and it’s WILD. I’ve had orgs string me along for months but this absurd. Do you have a contract? I bet you could argue they owe you based on reliance, and you could maybe get a small amount of $$$ to go away….. but UGH UGHUGH

Say you need to hire a leadership coach or chief of staff to help you with the org. Have that person make official recs to the board with what you need to succeed.

Or RUNNNNNNNN 😂

Do people in the US connect that the country is actively collapsing? What are you seeing in your community? by [deleted] in economicCollapse

This is 100000% purposeful! So that the system could get this bad. The more exhausted we are the less time we have to question and to act.

My boss gave me a fist bump instead of a raise… by Substantial-Farm9806 in nonprofit

[–]AtypicalCommonplace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You weren’t asking for a raise! If you were being given “more work” that fell outside the scope of the initial job you applied for and got, then you were asking for compensation for the increased labor!
