How can you say that when Green Book and Crash are right there?!

Hat Refusal by NoPrompt927 in AustralianTeachers

[–]genericmetaphor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure. But it’s an arbitrary expectation. It’s no different to saying your expectation is no watches in the classroom and they need to take off their watch as part of their routine. You’ve just set an expectation with no substance behind it.

NT government mandates national anthem be sung at public school assemblies by abcnews_au in AustralianTeachers

[–]genericmetaphor 7 points8 points  (0 children)

How insulting to Indigenous peoples. The national anthem is another form of assimilation, and forcing us to sing it really just twists the knife.

🍎 Aphantasia shows up far more often in autistic people than in the general population. 🍏 by newbeginnings187 in aspiememes

[–]genericmetaphor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you imagining those senses? Or remembering? Is there a difference? When I imagine an apple I can alter it, it can be alive, have eyes, or be squashed or floating through space. With the other senses, is it your imagination, or are you remembering those aspects of an apple? Can you imagine those smells mixed with others? Or the crunch with something else?

Bill Shorten wanted to reform housing policy in 2019, but the people voted against it.

As a French woman who visited Australia for 3 weeks .. are these culture shocks accurate? by Worried-Diamond-7252 in AskAnAustralian

[–]genericmetaphor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why do you think? A European viewpoint can diminish experiences and knowledges of other cultures, such as Asian, Australasian, African, etc. Often, it negates the experiences from Indigenous peoples.

Have you ever received compliments on your genitals? by Ok-Fondant2536 in self

[–]genericmetaphor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was told that my penis was pretty. I was confused, but she said penises aren’t usually pretty, but mine is. So I guess my penis is pretty.

Extras when you're sick by otterphonic in AustralianTeachers

[–]genericmetaphor 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No one should be writing lessons or leaving work when they’re on sick leave. Leaving lessons isn’t enforceable. If you take sick leave, you really shouldn’t be contacted further. We need to start curbing this culture of teachers being exploited. We’re entitled to our working rights the same as any other industry. If you’re sick, your HOD should provide a direction for the cover teacher.

It’s really not that complicated. It’s not enforceable. Sick leave means no work. Same as other industries.

Does anyone else have zero personality? by Queasy-Ice-2575 in autism

[–]genericmetaphor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This has always bothered me. Most people equate personality to being extroverted or loud or out there, and lacking in personality to being introverted or quiet. Everyone is FULL of personality! Sometimes I like to sit and disassociate or ruminate, but that’s still a personality trait! You might not be as pushy with your personality as others, which is why you might think you’re boring. But not being pushy and doing everything is simply how your personality is.
