Kids often have difficulty asking the questions they want to know the answer to. They might not have the words to phrase their questions clearly, so, as an educator, you have to rely on context clues and guesswork to figure out what they’re really trying to ask.

For instance, last week a little boy looked at a concretion I was explaining and asked, “Is it real?”

Yes, it’s “real”. It’s not imaginary, it’s not synthetic, and it formed as an encrustation on corroding metal, without human interference in the process. But what he actually wanted to know was if it had ever been alive—specifically, if it was a coral, and if so, a freshly dead one, or a fossilized one.

He couldn’t articulate this. He simply continued to ask “Is it real?” over and over again with increasing frustration, and I had to keep trying different angles and answering in different ways before I managed to figure out what he wanted to know. It’s like… charades. Sort of. Without the “silence” part. So… not like charades at all.

Half of the people on tumblr:  “I talk pretty tough for someone with a soft, fluffy bunny heart full of feelings.” Me, unable to relate:  “I talk a lot about tolerance and understanding for someone who is always 2 seconds away from serious violence.”

Me: Minimum wage jobs are essential jobs

My dad: That’s not true

Me: If nobody worked those minimum wage jobs we’d have no supermarkets or restaurants, no factories, and everything would be filthy because nobody would be cleaning it

My dad: Then somebody else would do those jobs

Me: So you’re saying those jobs need to be done? So they’re essential jobs?

My dad: They’re not essential

Me:

I really hate how “your partner shouldn’t be a psychic” has evolved into “you cannot expect your partner to be intuitive to your needs or wants at all” because that’s… quite frankly ugly and a really good way to make your relationship feel like a chore. 

I pay attention to the things my partners like and Store That™ in my little brainspace until it becomes useful. My bf likes tea. We were cleaning out an office full of stuff yesterday and they had some tea leftover they would’ve thrown out, so I took it home to him. Wow! He didn’t tell me he needed or wanted that, but he appreciated it because it’s something he likes.

Not everything has to be some grand gesture to show your s/o that you’re into them and you’re paying attention to them. I recall someone saying they wrote down things about their S/O and their interests so they could look back and remind themselves since their memory sucked. Things like that matter.

And I think it’s really cruel to tell people, and especially women who this type of shit is always put towards, that they aren’t allowed to want romance or spontaneity because it’s an “unreasonable” expectation. It really isn’t. Healthy communication does not inherently mean constant hand-holding.

dear white male writers: DO NOT DO THIS

These horrific, sexist, racist paragraphs - screenshotted and shared for posterity by James Smythe, to whom we are all indebted - are the work of one Liam O’Flynn, a writer and English teacher. Evidently, they come from his book Writing With Stardust: the Ultimate Descriptive Guide for students, parents, teachers, and lovers of English, and are intended as examples of good writing.

UM.

Dear white male writers: DO NOT DO THIS SHIT. IT IS SUPER GROSS AND FETISHISTIC AND ALSO TERRIBLE WRITING. THIS IS WHY WE CAN’T HAVE NICE THINGS. 

Like I just. “Her virility-brown eyes -” WHAT DOES THIS EVEN MEAN? How can you have an “Amazonian figure” ON a “wafer-thin body” when “figure” is a word that describe’s a body’s shape, and Amazonian means pretty much the DIRECT FUCKING OPPOSITE of “wafer-thin” in the first place?  What the shitting fuck does ANY of this mean, apart from “I am only nebulously familiar with the concept of women and completely at a loss if I can’t compare their various bodyparts to jewels, animals and footstuffs”?
