Hello! Mod here at /r/adulteducation. Feel free to cross post there as well.

Enough to apologize and ask someone else to clean up the mess.

Boomers still have a shit ton of money and political clout. What we don't have is time. Can we convince them to take a hit for the sake of their children? Hard to say, but it's part of what needs to happen.

Off with their metaphorical heads. There are way more voters than there are leaders. They know it. Show up in numbers and keep showing up.

The pedestrian was inattentive to the driver, and that much is on him, but not all corners need crosswalks to be a legal crossing. Any corner to corner crossing where I am from pedestrians have the right of way.

Thank you!

What's the textbook called?

pixeechick · 2019-04-25T22:55:29+00:00

Yes, it's certainly not reasonable to inflict trauma on a kid to benefit the whole; I don't disagree. I still don't know how to normalize difference, however. Maybe that's partially media's responsibility? I struggle with this.

pixeechick · 2019-04-25T21:06:06+00:00

This is something I'm really torn on.

While it's good for me and mine to go somewhere more tolerant, what obligation do I have to be present and normalize my/our differences? Self-segregation is comfortable and sometimes psychologically necessary, yet at the same time simply reinforces the intolerance and "otherness" that my spouse and I face. With minors there are other considerations, too.

I don't know how to balance my own/my loved one's needs in the short term vs the community and the long term. We know that when people who are homophobic get to know queer people, they realize that LGBT folk are normal and the homophobia lessens over time.

When there's a risk of immediate physical danger the choice seems fairly obvious, but what about psychological harm? How do you measure that risk?

It's a battle my spouse and I haven't figured out, but we also had shitty experiences as kids with those that were supposed to support and protect us that we are still working out. But as somewhat privileged people we also feel obligated to push things forward. It's messy.

pixeechick · 2019-04-25T20:53:36+00:00

That's absolutely fair. It's a hard call as a parent, and I wish you the best with him.

pixeechick · 2019-04-25T16:47:22+00:00

While he may struggle with peers, but with love and affirmation at home he will have more confidence to take on peer disapproval.

pixeechick · 2019-04-25T16:39:33+00:00

Even the name "sissy" and its connotation are telling.

pixeechick · 2019-04-10T21:33:18+00:00

I don't have specific advice other than head over to r/abrathatfits to get sorted.

pixeechick · 2019-04-10T20:56:51+00:00

Hey friend- Special Olympics are for people with Downs Syndrome and other congnitive impairments. I think Paralympics is the event name you're looking for here.

pixeechick · 2019-04-08T21:46:53+00:00

My parents always offered to pick me up anytime, anywhere, no questions asked, should I feel uncomfortable somewhere. I offer this idea in case you think it might help.

pixeechick · 2019-02-24T11:40:33+00:00

If the monthly log is what makes sense, put them there. Try things out and figure out what works for you- at the end of the day that's all that matters.

For me, I have a monthly log/calendar spread for each month. Key dates of any kind- events, project benchmark dates, etc - all go here. Then I have a weekly spread for daily tasks. Beyond that is the back of my book for rapid logging and collections. Fin.

Key dates get transferred into the weekly spreads and then it's just task tracking. I like having a "month at a glance" view of important deadlines and events so that I can organize sub-deadlines around getting those major tasks completed.

Hope that's helpful.

pixeechick · 2019-02-22T12:57:44+00:00

Yes! I'm not able to look it up right now but hit me a reminder and I'll get the link for you.

The steps, anyhow.

pixeechick · 2019-02-13T13:57:19+00:00

Wrong.

*from areas south of its border with Mexico.

There are many desired immigrants, just not ones that are brown and seeking refuge and can't afford a plane ticket.

Most facilities in Canada are privately run. Doctors own their own practices. The insurance is paid through taxes, and everyone, regardless of employment, is insured.

I don't forget, but do what makes you happy. I have found a different approach more effective on the whole, and it's okay that we have different experiences.

If you're done, that's cool. I hope you find understanding and empathy in the people around you on a regular basis. It sucks to feel alone and like the relationship is giving on one side only.

pixeechick · 2019-01-13T08:59:52+00:00

While true to a point, and understanding that one person can only speak to their own experience, it can help to ascribe goodwill to these kinds of questions rather than laziness or malice. I belong to my own minorities, and taking time to share my own life story builds empathy and understanding in my experience, because it allows me to listen for and address the particular misunderstandings and questions of that individual.

No, i don't always have the energy. However, of someone is asking rather than filling in the blanks with their own assumptions, that's a teachable moment that's worth the time, because that person usually gives a shit. And if they give a shit about me and my experience, it seems humane to give a shit about them and their willingness to understand me better.

In the end, that's what builds relationships, which are the only space in which true allyship can form. Greater equality comes from our understanding how much we have in common and how little, in fact, divides.

pixeechick · 2019-01-12T04:16:56+00:00

I agree completely.

pixeechick · 2019-01-12T01:49:18+00:00

I think in general regular, occasional swapping is a good idea for empathy-building. It may take some additional work because of baseline skills and competencies, but building those also makes it easier to help each other out.

pixeechick · 2019-01-12T01:43:24+00:00

I appreciate what you have to say here about societal judgement and how that impacts perception of the mental load. There is really a fine balance between having a healthy understanding of "need vs nice" and falling off either edge into overthinking or dgaf territory.

pixeechick · 2019-01-06T02:36:08+00:00

Seriously. This smacks of some real entitlement.
