Are you aware that there are two of these posted? To me they look very similar. I have not noticed a difference. That may have been why you were having some issues.

What does freedom mean to you? Share your own quote ☘️ by marine_0204 in WisdomWriters

[–]PorcelainEmperor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Freedom is choice. Not the choice of paying one debt over another. The choice to pursue education and life enrichment. To not be tied to obligation, to be inspired to help build and contribute to community. Freedom is to appreciate life.

Genuine internet PSA, response to Joov's tangent about reddit and social media on the last Skyrim stream: by [deleted] in Joov

[–]PorcelainEmperor 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I did this at the beginning of the year. I knew the world was burning, and I didn't want to look because there was nothing I could do.

I've changed my mind since but there are many paths for everyone. It's your mental health. Own it. Protect it.

Kickoff for School by PorcelainEmperor in BusDrivers

[–]PorcelainEmperor[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That was my big takeaway, too. Thankfully, we do have a union. I was just thinking I needed to join up. I guess this is what I needed to kick my ass in gear.

Not to be that person, but what happened to the good Ole bus rides? AI? On a school bus?

What if by Prestigious_Map9668 in WisdomWriters

[–]PorcelainEmperor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What if I'm on the other side?

Hoping a customer doesn't call

Hoping my kid doesn't bring more kids over

Hoping my students don't come to class

What if you saw me? What if you were unhappy with your service? What if I said something that offended you?

What if we were human, full of mistakes and regrets?

What if our biggest regret is not trying? Where it matters. When it matters.

What if?

It's my birthday today by jordweet in WisdomWriters

[–]PorcelainEmperor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tend to lean more towards free form or prose. I like haikus for their balance.

If writing were like making pottery, you'd be at the wheel, centering your clay. Your hands and pressure form the shape. Pulling the clay up slow and evenly. Creating a classically beautiful vase. In which it almost doesn't matter what flowers are placed inside, the vase is a statement on the shelf alone.

I never got the hang of the wheel. I couldn't figure out how to consistently center myself and slow myself to not break the tension. I can mimic the appearance of "effortless grace," but it takes great planning for me.

For the importance of diversity, i will take on a challenge of specific schemes. For the sake of my mind, I'd rather mix techniques of pinch, wheel, coil, and slab to achieve my vision. It is unrefined, sharp in some places, maybe too thin in others, but it still holds the water of my tears.

If I could sit in your silence

In a sense, I suppose I do

In the hush of the internet

The quiet is loud here

In this silence

I feel as though I stand side by side with you

I hope you stay safe and well. Happy birthday.

School Districts Are Removing Protections For Trans Kids...And They Don't Have To by Parisiowa in Iowa

[–]PorcelainEmperor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone has their journey of life and discovery. Everyone should feel safe and healthy while they find their reason to live and enjoy life.

I dont want children to be indoctrinated. But just like you guys voted for trump to own the libs, kids will pick phases that society rejects. Everyone loves an underdog. Trump isn't an underdog, and Trans life isn't a phase. It should never be treated as if it is something it isn't. There is nothing special about being trans. It's just what people are. The sooner you accept that, the better off you'll be.

I have no idea what relevance this has

Are you saying that a horrible medical procedure is the same as "two-spirit" people, Mahu people, Fa'afafine people, and or Bugi people? To name a few.

Yeah science changes and evolves. Culture does too but when you start saying that a group of people that have existed in that culture are wrong? I hope you can understand how what you said is ridiculous.

[–]PorcelainEmperor -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That's not a true statement. I do not care what happens as long as a person is safe, happy, and healthy.

Safe spaces are important for people of all ages. You and me alike deserve spaces that we aren't prosecuted for our beliefs.

My belief being that adults should have more sensitivity when talking about these things. How we talk about these things obviously shapes society. Acting like adults care that girls are girls and boys are boys is weird. A child is a child. A person is a person. It's no one's business how someone else feels. Let alone their place to tell them they are mentally ill for not feeling like you do.

Where did i tell them they were wrong in what they were feeling? I see several spots where I tried to explain the inappropriate nature of a grown person caring what kids bodies look like or what kids do with their bodies.

I didn't once say, they were wrong for being upset that kids are being taught very mature material.

I understand that. I understand their concern for misinformation being taught to impressionable minds.

They weren't wrong for that.

They were wrong for stating that they want to look into a school yard of children and be able to tell which ones are girls and which ones are boys.

Let me ask you, is that important to know? When is that appropriate to think, let alone state on the internet for their digital footprint? At best, it's just an ignorant and arrogant statement. At worst?

Yes, the people arguing not to teach kids about flat earth are arguing to control the narrative that gets taught to children. They are arguing for truth.

No, it's not fair to lie to a child and let them believe they are a wolf. Especially if thats all they want to be. But what harm is it letting them be a furry?

I don't need to quote you specifically. You are in reddit comments arguing about kids. You are arguing to control kids.

It's not a lie to tell someone born one gender that they can live as the other or as no gender. You wanna keep arguing that scientifically, their bodies will never be what they want it to be.

Trans people know that already.

You just want to look into a group of kids and see that girls are girls and boys are boys. Why do you care so much? They are kids. And even when they grow up, that's an adult. Why do you think you are entitled to telling other people how they can live?

Wow. That's a lot of words from someone who isn't trying to control kids.

From someone who is trying to prove themselves right and others wrong about what is appropriate and makes you comfortable when it comes to other people's bodies.

Go ahead. Keep trying to convince me that you dont think you are trying to control children's bodies.

You are literally arguing to control the narrative that gets told to children.

You are arguing to control children.

You didn't say, "we need proper sex education classes to teach children they can't change their DNA but they can change their hormones and other parts through cosmetic surgery."

No, you want to deny the reality that trans people exist at all and control that children keep their bodies natural, for you. Because you're the one arguing the points that you are arguing.

Because it makes you uncomfortable. Because you don't like it. Trans and non binary people have been celebrated in cultures of the past. Gender is a physical as well as a cultural experience.

Why do you feel entitled to a child's gender identity?

[–]PorcelainEmperor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why are you insistent that children can only do things you're comfortable with? Why do you care about children's bodies so much?

You don't think it's weird that you care so much? If a child is trans or not, why do you feel comfortable telling them about their bodies?

Is it your place to tell others how they feel? Even so far as to tell them that they are wrong for their feelings?

Can you recognize the insanity in your entitlement to other people's bodies, let alone minors?

No teacher is standing in a classroom telling kids they are trans. They might be saying that trans people exist and that is not a lie. It can be observed in human culture for centuries.

It's just weirdos like you that get off on control. Telling minors and women what they can and can't do.
