I think it matters a lot that a) everyone who has seeming offered to help Karna has done so *after* she needed it. And b) was in some way using her and therefore needed her.

In the eyes of a child, if you weren’t there when she needed you, and can’t even help yourself, what good are you to her?

Why do you only care about kids when they aren't born yet?

I know, it's because you'd rather your kid be dead than possibly go against your personal beliefs.

I know, because only certain groups of kids are dying

#wrenfea.exe #protect the children #think of the kids #im sick and tired of people fighting against things that aren't harmful to children #while supporting things that directly or indirectly literally lead to the child dying prematurely #supporting systems that fail them #why do you think the birth rates are going down? children are no longer safe in this world #but sure its the gay couple next door who are filling mass graves with the bodies of children and babies #you think jesus or god is on your side? one that favors violence instead of love and community?#you really think that protecting earth or appreciating the beauty and diversity of all aspects of our universe #is against god? the fucking guy you believe is all powerful and CREATED it?#im sick of kids and teens being driven to suicide #im sick of children getting raped and denied abortions #its fucking devastating that any kid is forced to go hungry #or that any kids have to drink contaminated water and play on contaminated ground #that kids have to be prepared for a guy with an easily accessible assault rifle to come and shoot them and their classmates + teachers #that kids have to watch their families be literally torn apart by bombs and gunfire #it haunts me everyday thinking about what happened to Hind #and what happened at uvaldie #shitheads will be blocked on sight

Misc. photos from the past year or so ~

#image commentary in tags once again since they don't allow captions anymore and I feel weird using the alt text for that --#1. napping bapy boye sneeping on his own foot as if it were a pillow #2. The little primrose that I have seems to bloom sporadically all year around as long as I bring it inside and don't let it freeze #in the winter. This was a flower that came up randomly like mid november lol #3. Rainbow where you can see a little bit of a second rainbow near the bottom of it :0 #4. CHILDREN.... love to see them.....#5. Halloween Candy ranking tierlist. not important enough to post on it's own. so throwing it in with one of these I guess lol #I am also not really a candy person at all and prefer bready stuff like cakes rather than chocolate bars (if I even have to have sweets #at ALL which usually I prefer savory food). I suspect the apple is controversial but.. I do love apples .... huzzah #actually am having applle and peanut butter snack right now as I'm writing this lol #6. Various bowls/cups/etc. that I got from a store at COMPLETELY different times like.. years apart from each other #yet at some point realized that they all mostly match in paint color and seem to be part of the same pattern #But I totally didnt make that connection until a few years ago when I was putting up dishes. I just bought them all invidually because it's #like 'oh cool! a cat' *1 year later* 'oh cool! a cat!' etc. lol.. I guess it must be a popular design if it's been around being sold that #long.#7. carne asada burrito and matcha bubble tea... oughhgh.... again one of my very rare meals where I actually go and get something..#probably my favorite meal currently. Something about the Chronic Anemia makes me crave beef burritos madly despite only having one #maybe twice a year or so ghjbhj.. plus the beans.... onions.... many of my Diet Forbidden foods... Also of course the little aishas #are there.... somehow they shall split the meal together even though it's like 10x bigger than their bodies.. they are also hungry #and vastly anemic... huzzah to them...#8. I've had this shirt for a long time but it fits very weird so I can never find a way to use it in outfits?? But I recently had #an appointment where a doctor needed to be able to look at my back and it's one of the only actual Shirts that I have (mostly i just own #long robes or tunics or jumper dress type of things that would be hard to lift up or etc. like... I dont even own a single normal 't-shirt'#or anyting aside from one giant tshirt that I sleep in in the summer lol.) So I wore this there.. I forget how much I love the pictures on #it.. how pleasant... little hummingbird... AND I think one of the flowers is supposed to be columbine ... !#photo diary

OH MY GOD POWERPOINT ON WEB BROWSER IS THE MOST INFURIATING THING I HAVE EVER HAD THE DISPLEASURE TO USE.

if it did not cost money I would buy it so it wasn't so FRUSTRATING.

this is my favorite slide I have done so far ( I need to fix Bluey but it will do for now :-) )

Big Bird!! Finn and Jake!! BLUEY!!

sunny days by David Kamp is very insightful when it comes to all the kid shows from the 60's to 80's!! I recommend it if you are interested in reading on that kind of stuffs! The passage on Sesame Street and diversity surprised me! I hadn't expected a lot of the information it provided but it definitely helped !!

what do u think seans experience in reform school was like?? apparently the punishments were….well.

OH ANON!!!!! YES let's talk about this!!!!

So, a majority of the reform school horror stories that at least I've been hearing over the past few years have been largely been about schools that operated in the 20th century and into the 2010s at the latest, like the Dozier school or Elan. Then obviously there's the rest of the troubled teen industry but that's a more modern thing. Anyway, there's not a whole lot to go on for the late 1800's BUT I did manage to find a website which has a model for reformatory rules and regulations in 1890's Britain, which if nothing else, gives us something to go off in terms of what conditions could be like.

To start with, I think the fact that Sean was sent to reform school instead of other options interesting. Reform school was for delinquents; criminal children. Most likely, this means Sean was involved in criminal activity alongside his father - though, alternatively, it could mean whoever had to deal with Sean in the aftermath of Darragh's death, took one look at him and decided reform school was where he had to go.

Of course, Sean would never make life EASY for the officers and teachers of the school he was sent to. Not only is he there against his will, but those people and that place would, in his mind, all belong to the same entity which orchestrated his father's murder. That boy CAME to school with the intent to escape.

I think, with my HC of him having ADHD and dyslexia in mind, paired with his undoubted lack of respect for whatever authority figures that'd be at the reformatory, Sean would be singled out as a troublemaker from the get. It'd be one of those 'living up to expectations' thing from there, Sean making enemies out of the adults who were supposed to care for him and definitely coming up with ways to make their lives harder.

Sidenote; I definitely believe the little laugh Sean has after remembering his time in reform school was him reminiscing about all the pranks and shit he pulled to harass the workers there lmfao.

Of course, that also means he saw a LOT of the punishments they doled out. On the website they linked above, corporal punishment was VERY much on the agenda and I think Sean def saw the worst of it. I think an important aspect here is the understanding that once these things are seen as acceptable punishments, there's nothing stopping the person doling them out to up the severity of them despite regulations. A flogging shouldn't exceed 18 strokes nor a caning 8; but this offender has had several in the past few weeks and still keeps making trouble, lets add a couple extra just to get the message across.

I think the same goes for the punishments regarding isolation and meal deprivation; you can't tell me a young Sean already doesn't know the feeling of skipping meals out of necessity by the time he arrives at reform school - losing ONE meal as the regulations say with the assuredness of the next would do nothing to dampen Sean's spirits, nor a day in isolation.

Idk, Sean was truly desperate for money/food after 3 days, like that was when he tried to kill someone for it. Personally speaking, I go more than 12 hours without eating and I'd probably try to kill someone too. The 3 days speaks to a familiarity with hunger.

And idk, I definitely think Sean is used to being alone!!! It's why he likes being around people so much!! He grew up with only his father to rely on in the whole wide world, who probably HAD to leave Sean alone for prolonged amounts of time to do what he did as a Fenian & criminal. His scene in RDO also speaks to this; he gets lost and is on his own often!! It's not that he prefers it, but he is definitely used to it, and a day in isolation would probably make 0 difference to him fr!!

So, better up the ante to truly get those punishment across.

These are based on the British regulations for the time, mind! I couldn't find anything similar for the US, and I doubt there'd been a federal standard at the time, so I honestly imagine the punishments were more severe from the get, for Sean. Of course reform schools were supposed to be focused on reform over punishment, but when you're dealing with someone as possibly incessant and unyielding in their misbehavior as I imagine Sean was, punishment WOULD seem like the only option, with the knowledge they had at the time. I think he probably got the worse end of a LOT of it, because he wouldn't capitulate to the will of the reformatory very easily.

I don't think Sean stuck around for very long; around a year at most, I'd think. I also don't think he aged out of it, as the age of majority was 21 and it was more common for reform schools to set them up for some sort of legal work after 'graduating'. So yeah, he ran away, and promptly buried a lot of the bad shit he went through, as he is prone to do.

Thank you for this ask, anon!! I had a lot of fun thinking and reading about this, yall are REALLY indulging me here lolol

#I think reform schools were very individual based on the people who worked and attended there #especially when they were still in their infancy. they only really became a thing in the 1870s and onwards #but considering what the standard of treatment of children was at the time. that still means in general there was probably a lot of #bad shit going on even at the very start. before the power hungry abusers came in and started up schools like evan and dozier #dozier opened in 1900 did you know! evan in 1970 lol #they both closed in 2011 though. bcz of you know. all the deaths and abuse #anyway!! thank u anon for letting me theorize a lil on what reform school mightve been like for sean!!#obviously the answer was always gonna be BAD but yknow. sean is a trooper and a survivor in a lot of senses so #here we are!!!#sean macguire #red dead redemption 2 #rdr2 #rdr2 meta #teki talks #rdr thoughts #asks #meta asks #rdr asks

Alabama today

Alabama earlier this month

"But kids in the Gulf States won’t see any of those funds this summer. In Louisiana and Mississippi, state leadership declined to expand the program. Alabama missed the deadline to set aside funds for their half of the expansion, which would have totaled millions of dollars.

About a third of families living below the poverty line in America suffer from food insecurity, research from the USDA shows. In Louisiana and Mississippi, the rate is higher than the national average.

Carol Gundlach is a senior policy analyst for Alabama Arise, a nonprofit that focuses on people living in poverty. She said that while food insecurity affects poor people the most, Black families are impacted more heavily.

“In Alabama, 14% of Alabama households had reported in October that they sometimes, or often, did not have enough food to eat,” Gundlach said. “21% of Black households in Alabama — and these are families with children specifically — reported they didn’t have enough to eat sometimes or often.”

#usa #Alabama #This summer children will go hungry because state officials missed a deadline #But at least embryos in a freezer are legally children

I feel like we constantly follow the trope of starvation. What about a whumpee who was force-fed to the point of illness?

What about a whumpee who has been put on a diet to lose weight after getting home from being overfed every day and feels even worse around the people who should love and care but instead feel scrutinized. Caretaker is trying to follow a tough love model of caring but are they going too far? Are they becoming New Whumper instead?

I want to see a whumpee standing up for themselves and learning body positivity. Not JUST being supported, but learning to SUPPORT THEMSELVES.

I had a student who gained weight and their mother became obsessed with her losing the weight. It broke my heart because she was hungry but I was told point blank that I was not to offer her food, by the school. It hurt to see a child hungry. She wasn’t even overweight. Maybe I’m just projecting…

#forcing children to go hungry without even the option for a healthy snack is wrong in my opinion #whumpee #whumpblr #whump blog #whump ideas #feel free to add on #caretaker x whumpee #caretaker #whump #whump tropes #whumper #caretaking #whump inspiration #stern caretaker

Twice last week I've heard from I hate to say it, but [white] males about hunger in the US. First from a Republican Minnesota State Senator Steve Drazkowski. Who claims he's never met a hungry person and that hunger is a relative term. (source Phil DeFranco show) In his state alone 1 in 6 kids are going hungry. He wants to fight against a program that would give all children in his state free breakfast and lunch at school mostly due to its cost. Now here's the kicker if what he's said isn't bad enough, Minnesota has surplus of state funds. It's not as though they don't have the money. Luckily the bill he was fighting against passed. But the fact he was fighting against feeding children. Seriously wtf!

And then Bill Maher on his show on Friday echoed the same kind of sentiment with the comment about is there really anyone in America going hungry.

All I could fucking think was how many others are this out of touch with real Americans?

Hunger in America or food insecurity as they call it now. Here some facts:

'More than 34 million people, including 9 million children, in the United States are food insecure.' (source Google)

Is this a blindness caused by the wealth gap in our country? Do they choose not to see it or do they have enough money to insulate themselves from those realities like yes alot of Americans go hungry and there not just children.

How many people see the numbers and either disregard them or straight up don't believe them at all? With our wealth gap it's really not that hard to understand that hunger would be a huge issue in the US. Not with inflation out of hand its an even bigger problem. I have notice some foods have started to come down at the grocery store but somethings just keep going up everytime. Now imagine that for a family, with children. When the price of feul, utilities, rent, babysitter or daycare, a car payment, prescriptions, doctor visits, I can keep going. No one getting paid more.

Then we have asshole politicians (because I have little doubt that Senator isn't the only one in our government that thinks that way about hunger in America) and a talk show host that's completely lost sight of what is happening to regular Americans. I really think we have a tip of the ice berg situation going on, that isn't good for anyone especially those of us that need help!

#hunger in America #food insecurity #us politics #34 million Americans go hungry #9 million children go hungry #all over the US #a real problem #no bullshit #bill maher #Senator Steve Drazkowski #minnesota #free school lunch program #this

there are absolutely some terrible teachers in the world but idk why people think that the problems in the school system are the fault of teachers. as if policymakers, administrators, and board members don’t exist or something, and as if teachers don’t often get fired or at least severely get in trouble for trying to make the slightest positive changes in the classroom

#the idea that anyone would go through the bullshit rigamarole of teacher certification #and go every day to the exhausting not-that-well-paying job that teaching is #just because they hate kids so much especially kids with learning difficulties and want to bully them #and they have a passion for mind-numbingly running drills of how to trick your way into passing standardized tests #like... no... actually... no to that #some teachers are unpleasant people or bullies because some people are just like that #some people became teachers cause they couldn't think of what else to do and hate their jobs #and thus end up being snippy and reductive to students #some teachers once loved the job but got ground down into bitter assholes by the realities of the job #some teachers love teaching but hold shitty prejudices that make them think it's ok to treat some kids worse #but no teachers just love to torment children because they're power-hungry sadists #it'd be easier to just be a politician if that's your goal #written by me

I find it fumny that people say that Elon Muskrat has the mentality of a 6 year old.

Which is offensive to 6 year olds. They're often very smart and if you explain to them what's happening they reason it and accept it.

You know what mentality he has? Of a far right aligned male, and I know this because I've met tons of them through the years and they all act the same. Hell! I live with one!

And it's always the same story. They refuse to lose, they know everything and more than everyone else, they won't listen to your arguments because they're already convinced that you're wrong, they will even deny actual data!!!

And that's what makes them so dangerous, they have absolutely no capacity for introspection.

#hong talks #Reminds me of that time during quarantine #when many studies were coming out and they were talking about them on TV #and they started talking about how many children go to school just because they get to eat #and what is the hope for those children with online classes #and he started rambling about how that's a lie and is stupid #I'M A TEACHER. I'M A STUDENT. I know this. I've seen this everyday I've spent at school.#so I told him that + the fact that he's fighting literal factual information #he screamed a me. he told me that all those polls that say our country is poor are wrong. that is impossible.#that if it'strue that 1/4 Paraguayans are hungry it means that the neighbor in front of us is hungry #WHICH IS A LIE!!!!#and like not only is that a very stupid misunderstanding of data but also is deflecting the matter at hand #he screamed and hit the table and when he realized I'm not afraid of him he got up and went to his bedroom #another time there was this classmate's dad who kept interrupting my WW2 presentation #He kept saying out loud that Hitler is still alive in Argentina because he came to Paraguay #and like everyone in the public was annoyed at him #I was 13 #So i corrected him and he went ballistic with his conspiracy theories and kept repeating the same over and over again #so I said Sir there is absolutely no proof for that because we know Hitler did this and this and he just got up screamed something and left #afterwards the teacher's told me I shouldn't talk back to adults.#They're simply so entitled that they believe they're entitled to the truth as well

um worth saying that the sunflowers are unharmed & just stop oil was aware that it’s protected by a pane of glass when they planned their protest 😭 and honestly if protesters were able to destroy such an important piece of art just by waltzing into a gallery with a tin of tomato soup then the blame would be squarely on the gallery for failing the public in their role as custodians of art for everyone to enjoy :)

#the intention was not to destroy the painting #so edgelords can be all yess destroying things rich people like is praxis!!#it was to make a point about how the entire country proceeded to go mad over a painting NOT EVEN being destroyed #when they dont bat an eye over the climate crisis or children going hungry #and tbh you are JUST as reactionary if youre implying that the significance of an artwork is worth more than human life or the planet #i like van gogh too but i would throw every one of his paintings onto a bonfire without hesitation to save the life of any random person
