2012: Symposium on Mi Hedou's Red Guard Generation Book

Reading Chinese historians and writers on Chinese history and historiography brings revelations on many levels. Not just on history, but on difficulties in understanding history because of political and other restrictions and how the changing Party line affects understanding of history. And how history may be documented yet its understanding and significance is not open to interpretation because…

The wrong DNA test

( what if, Sheila wasn't really Jason's mother? The system is already corrupted, then what about the test?).

A huge brawl containing every rogue had started at the time of Halloween, causing the people from downtown to fled there home's as joker had clownized the whole neighborhood with his goon's.

Every bats had taken to groups to take out the three parts of Gotham's as the rogue's had started to make alliances, some had lasted quite long while had conflicts, and causing a big damage to Arkham asylum,

It didn't take long before they captured all of them, none of the bats questions as they observed Jason glowing green eyes starting to flick, they thought it was the pit again, growing wary of the cooperation, but Crime alley was involved and that mean business to Red hood's turf.

Catherine todd love her son as her own even if not biological, Jason knew that. But her thing with drugs couldn't make her stop.

Sometimes after that, they could hear Jason humming a tune,a nice melody from Damian's statement saying that Jason muttered to him “ lullaby” as Jason continued to read his book, maybe it could be from Catherine,

they knew how Jason's past with Catherine todd, his mom even if not related, Catherine loves her son like her own kid but her doing drugs and... overdosing couldn't be stop.

Maybe Jason just remembered his mother maybe reminiscing atleast something familiar...even if it was a bad time.

Jason had constantly have been hearing a woman's? Man's? Voice, singing him a lullaby...it soothing, like as if he known and loved this melody...and that's where the dreams kept coming, there was a person, giving him kisses, Talkin to him stories, singing him lullabies and soothing him, he could dream that he was actually a baby, a baby from a normal couple, well don't count the luxurious baby room.

Jason had took out a conspiracies why he was getting this dreams, ( he swears he's not becoming Tim) and voices, maybe like a misshapen memories from the pits of victims? No it's to peaceful for that, maybe magic? He already contacted Constantine but surely hang up after knowing who it was-

Just how is he getting this dreams? Unless it wasn't.... So he proved again his point, he started a DNA test, again but none had records...of Sheila being his biological mother...that was weird, last time he had a test was from the time as robin..and before his-

So he went to that hospital who had said where Sheila had given birth to him, and most of shock is that no one knows a mother giving birth named Sheila haywood but had a document of a baby, of one Jason jay nightingale, the most believing part was that it's the same day he was born in.

His mother, Daniel F. Nightingale was said to be trans as the doctor who help his mother safely delivered him, And saying that his mother loved him,

one Sheila Haywood had the constant trick to get him and taken him as his own, because his mother's family was a wealthy one they practically sold him to her.

Jason had thought that maybe his mother's family never wanted him to have a son with a man from Gotham's crime alley.

Meanwhile Danny had just been YEETED to the DC universe before the start of Batman's justice thing and had been adopted by a very wealthy fruit loops couple as there kid, so he stayed as the couples daughter even pretending, because he owed ghost writer a favor for the last time, and as DC universe exist so it's story, and one thing for sure the child he had to give birth in this universe has a very complicated fate,

he did the one night stand from his supposed friend Willis Todd? He had to befriend him as Dalia F. nightingale the supposed Wealthy daughter who fell in love with a peasant trope, and gotten pregnant making it a scandal, and reaching to his ‘parents’ circle and getting that drama.

But he never thought he would care for his child, his little jay, his ghost side would purr in delight when they held Jason, he was a very hard sucker especially from his pacifier or his breast, it's so weird being in a women body,

but the way his ‘parents’ sold his son to the women who was supposed to get his son killed and being revived by cheap parody ass of ectoplasm.

He went feral, he had an argument to his ‘parents’ but all fell deaf ears, he couldn't find his son in one of the hotels nearby where that BXtch was.

And that time was where his part of the script was fulfilled, ghost writer already took him, both sides of his, were angry.

He. will. get. his. baby. back.

Hey, I have a 12 year old in my care and I was wondering what kind of sex education is appropriate for him. I saw your previous ask and yeah, when he did see some NSFW stuff, the way we dealt with it was pretty bad and I want to rectify that.

Hi! That's a good question. It's very normal to struggle with figuring out how to include sex education in raising children, especially when so many places discourage even letting schools handle proper, inclusive sex education.

I'm glad to hear you want to rectify it, though, that's awesome.

I don't know where your child's education level is at but a good place to start would be to make sure your child knows how things like body education and how consent [including in a nonsexual content] works.

In order for your child to understand the basics of sex education, they need to know what different body parts are called, what they look like and what they do and how you need permission to touch people, to do things with people and how sometimes people will try to force or coerce your consent in certain situations.

[If your child isn't aware that people can use different pronouns, names or genders than they were assigned, now is a good time to make sure they do and that they know part of consent is listening to what people want to be called and respecting it.]

On body education, you can build on that by introducing information about puberty, hygiene [including some info on STD/Is!] and masturbation.

Depending on your child, the basics of how sex can work might be enough for them to discover they're not interested after that and that they aren't currently interested in learning any more for the moment.

But your child might also be more interested!

Both options are fine. Making sure that child has the basics is good but if they don't currently want to learn anymore, give them the resources, tell them they can look through them if they want and that they can tell you if they want your help or have questions they want you to answer.

If your child is more interested, its okay to find more resources on sex for your child to learn about. Knowledge is a good thing and actual educational resources can do your child a world of good.

If you're wanting resources, I know that sexplanations on Youtube has some very good videos [can't vouch for all of them but I've watched some and they were pretty good], as does NCIL [specifically for people/w/disabilities, though I do remember some explicit intersexism that you'd definitely want to avoid in those]. Scarleteen has some good beginner articles, as does Teen Vogue and Planned Parenthood.

There are also beginner courses by different organizations that you can sign your child up for but I'd give a good look through them first. As well as sex education books that you can look through online!

I hope this helps, at least some. Let me know if you have anymore questions or need more recommendations. <3

Alberta will prohibit hormonal treatment, puberty blockers and gender affirming surgery for children 15 years and younger, Premier Danielle Smith announced Wednesday in a video posted to social media.

Top and bottom gender reassignment surgeries will be banned for minors aged 17, though bottom surgery is already limited to adults.

Teens aged 16 and 17 can start hormone therapy as long as they have permission from their parents, a physician and a psychologist.

Alberta parents will need to give permission before a student aged 15 and under can use a name or pronoun at school other than what they were given at birth, Smith said.

Students who are 16 or 17 won't require permission but schools will need to let their parents know first.

Full article

So not only does this require schools to out trans kids to their parents, potentially endangering their safety and even their lives, it also requires kids 15 or under to have parental permission to be called by their correct name and pronouns. Not to mention restricting gender affirming care for minors. Next level transphobia from Danielle Smith and the UCP.

As much as I hate 'generation discourse' Nothing makes me roll my eyes harder than older Gen Z/millenials shitting on Gen Alpha now. Like of course there's a lot wrong with using screens to pacify young children, but it's not even critiquing the parentings, nope we've moved on to full on 'this new generation is rotten and doomed' rhetoric about how these literal children and toddlers are gonna be the downfall of society because someone posted a video of a toddler having a meltdown for millions of people to see and find their justified outlet for wishing harm upon young children- I mean, Ipad baby meltdown cringe comps. What kills me though is the irony, all the things Gen Z and Millenials rightfully despised Boomers for- You are doing right now, in your twenty five minute video essay on why some parents neglecting their toddlers means kids these days are all uncultured drooling npcs. Calling the next generation after you stupid and inferior to you goes back to ancient times, and now you have unironic video essays on why Gen Alpha will be the worst generation in history.

I hate ageism.

if either louis or daniel had a single friend between them they would have figured out about armand's duplicitous manipulation of their memories years ago. it's called a girl's night and the pair just shared one together with their bare tootsies steeped in a sophisticated little indoor pebble garden

[aftonsparv-bugzz]

i grew up with the mindset that "if i (an adult) cant do it, youcant" and i realise now how wrong and awful that mindset is. truly an ageist mindset. stop belittling young people because you believe they are lesser than you. young people can achieve many things, you just judge them for their age. instead of judging children , how about you judge your mindset and change it. learn that children can do things too, you just judge by age.

Louisiana governor Jeff Landry – who recently tried to stop summer school lunch programs – is pressuring Louisiana State University (LSU) to resume parading its live tiger mascot at home football games. This hasn’t happened since 2015, when Mike the Tiger VI was still alive. The current Siberian Bengal tiger, Mike VII, kept in an enclosure at LSU’s Baton Rouge, has never been subjected to this.

hi! ftm almost15 here. im going to be sexually active soon and my mom has no idea because whenever sex comes up, she acts like its gross or something for me to interact like that. is it weird to be sexually active at my age? should i feel gross?

(we're both std-negative and im going on birth control immediately after and also will be using a condom)

Hi! It's not weird and you shouldn't "feel gross". There's nothing wrong with having sex. Especially since it sounds like you're aware of any risks and being careful!

I can't say specifically where your mother is coming from. It might just be because some people don't like the idea of their children having sex.

Regardless, I'm sorry she's made it uncomfortable for you to come to her about this! That makes things really difficult.

But it doesn't mean you're gross for planning to have sex. You're allowed to have sex. Just keep it consensual and you're absolutely fine.

And ignore anyone shaming you for having/wanting sex, that's inappropriate and a them-problem, not a you-problem.

Also! If you mean you're going on birth control after you have sex, it is recommended to go on birth control beforehand. Birth control can't prevent pregnancy (if that's your goal) just by taking it afterwards.

Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions. <3

Advocates fear loss of schools as safe space amid gender pronouns policy

Education advocates are bemoaning the loss of schools as safe spaces for vulnerable kids only weeks after the UCP announced a controversial gender pronouns policy that they say puts a wedge between LGBTQ+ students and teachers. Teachers, parents and academics worry schools are already being enveloped in a culture of fear and mistrust, well before this fall when the policy is implemented, requiring teachers to notify and get consent from parents to alter the name or pronouns of a student under 15 years, and to notify parents of students aged 16 and 17. Even the much-celebrated and protective GSAs (gay-straight alliances) — clubs created by students and led by trusted adults to support LGBTQ+ kids in schools — are at risk of being lost as students question the potential risks now associated with joining them, advocates say.
