there's a dynamic I see play out a lot where
people who are the direct targets of a structural violence will try to explain to others that the structure (and ideologies used to justify it) are dehumanizing to everyone involved, including those they exist to benefit
(e.g. the way that accepting as natural the ideologies, self-theorization, and modes of living entailed in embodying social roles of whiteness, manhood, global north citizenship, heterosexuality, cisgender relations to one's assigned sex, able-bodiedness, sanity, etc. requires the refusal of one's commonality and connections with others, requires the severing of one's ability to relate to aspects of one's own humanity and disavowal of all embodiments, interests, behaviors, and possibilities which have been attributed to oppressed people as justification for their oppression, requires the narrowing of relational possibility and conditioned revulsion at diversity of human bodyminds, requires an ever shrinking social world and ever dimming awareness of the rest of humanity and life and the planet)
and a certain number of those benefiting from these structures
(instead of the intended reaction in conveying these things, which is prompting realization that these benefits are at the cost of their own humanity and to hopefully spur beneficiaries to deciding they would rather give up these benefits if it means eventually being able to undo the profound alienation and disconnection that enables such vast networks of cruelty)
will instead hear this on the most surface level and start arrogantly asserting that these systems target the beneficiaries as much or even moreso than those peoples on whose exploitation the entire structure is built.
and that's just... profoundly frustrating every time it happens.

I was today years old. That is disgusting.
No Child Left Behind is one of the worst things to ever be incentivized in schools. It was signed into law when I was 14. Reading Rainbow was my show as a kid. LeVar Burton played a big part in why I became an avid reader to date. The joy of it. It's an adventure around the globe and through different time periods without stepping on a plane or time machine.
Children parrot behavior. In grade school, I always wanted to read the same amount of books as my teachers (50 books) and managed to double that each year. Before No Child Left Behind, book fairs and Scholastic catalogs were a serious matter like your grandma's Fingerhut catalogs. Libraries were (and still are) a wonderland.
Reading comprehension and proficiency in schools has been declining for decades. A crisis. The joy of books isn't pushed anymore and I'm always saddened by it. It's one of the reasons why I post my book reviews and recommendations on here, as well as posts from others to encourage reading and (novel) writing. Kids will parrot your behavior while the education system sadly fails to return as that example.

I SAID THE BEST WAY TO TELL A LOAF OF BREAD IS FINISHED IS TO STICK YOUR DICK IN IT.

Having a vagina honestly sucks bc it's like you have to do fucking alchemy just to prevent yourself from getting sick. You've got an intricate ecosystem of microorganisms down there that you're dependent on for your own well-being and they can be set off by the tiniest fucking thing
Keeping your pubes too short can cause yeast infections, but letting them get too long can also cause yeast infections. Washing the area with specialized soap can help prevent yeast infections, but it can also cause them. Your periods can cause yeast infections, and so can the medicine you take to stop your periods. Having sex can cause yeast infections, especially if the person you're having sex with is diabetic (???). Being diabetic can cause yeast infections. Wearing the wrong clothes or eating the wrong things can cause yeast infections. Not getting enough fucking sleep can cause yeast infections. The list is neverending
Luckily, yeast infections are fairly easy to treat with OTC medicine that you can find at any Walmart. BUT! Even if all of your symptoms indicate that you have a yeast infection, you have to take a test first to confirm that it's a yeast infection (they do not sell the tests at Walmart) bc you might actually have the opposite of a yeast infection (bacterial vaginosis) which has the exact same symptoms as a yeast infection but is caused by an imbalance of different microorganisms. And if you use yeast infection medicine to treat a bacterial infection it will light your pussy on fire. So if you have a bacterial infection, you must instead visit your local witch doctor (gynecologist) and get prescribed special potions (antibiotics) to treat it
Antibiotics can also cause yeast infections
