been thinking a lot about how people raise their kids and just heard an interesting story. parents have this kid. she doesnt want to go to kindergarten + freaks out when they try and take her there. therapist says to put her in daycare slowly, first one day a week, then two, etc
they literally put this five year old kid in therapy. so someones telling me this story and im just thinking... dude, shes five. maybe she doesnt want to go to some weird place with all these people she doesnt know. is that so weird?
the person telling me this story is pitching it like “haha yeah she loves her dad and doesnt want to go away from him and he loves her so much but hes gonna have to let her go right”, and it just struck me as kind of sick, this little 5 year old girl seeing a therapist [...]
because she’d rather be with her mom and dad than go to some kindergarten and she feels strongly enough to cry about it? the therapist even said the dad cant drive her there and wants to make her take the bus... bruh momentum
extremely open to anyone with kids giving me some pushback if im wrong for imagining that if i was this dad i would just not do that. my current child rearing plan is documented in that movie the village where they just live like its hundreds of years ago (never seen it though)

incredible talking to people who actually think that all violence + crime is caused by a complex network of socioeconomic factors interwoven with the general flow of culture and history unless its a “mass shooting” in which case the causes are usually a single idea or just “guns”
unreal mental compartmentalization in someone who attributes something like violent crime in chicago to a perfect storm of social environmental causes that surround a person forcing them to act, then the opposite claim is made about other violence when its politically convenient
of course this is working inside of the surface level analysis that discounts the role of things like SSRIs and “men in suits” which u, obviously, know i would never do. i just find what must be the mental landscape of the average political analyst both horrifying and fascinating

lots of people (like an oddly large number) have asked me what i think about numerology recently and, im doing my laundry right now, so, here is my take after many years on the “weird mystical stuff circuit”.
first up is the caveat. yes, numbers can have a mystical or symbolic dimension to them. there is numerical symbolism in the bible, there can be some symbolism to things coming in groups of 3, 4, 5, etc., and i do use symbolism like this in my images sometimes.
there also can be a symbolic nature and a metaphysical usefulness to analyzing things in terms of their component parts, ie breaking them down into their twofold, threefold, etc. nature. the trinity is sort of the ultimate example of this.

Long Reads Sunday #58 - Dystopia In Paradise edition

We’ve got regulatory intrigue, Bitcoin declarations of independence, a convergent macro narrative, and the "dystopian af" use of lasers to avoid facial recognition.

That can only mean one thing...it's Long Reads time! 👇
2/ Remember the whole saga where the NYAG is investigating Bitfinex for allegedly borrowing money from Tether reserves to cover up $1B in losses? Well, on Monday a Judge heard a case to determine if they could even proceed.
3/ Tether v NY was not the only regulatory drama for the week, as the Senate Banking Committee held it’s second crypto-related hearing in 3 weeks. The day kicked off with @Melt_Dem and @Apompliano on @SquawkCNBC

Hey. Canon-compliant AU where one of the Connors that got killed during the deviancy investigation ends up in that junkyard from the game.
The revolution didn't succeed or fail. It's February 2039; the fight is ongoing. Connor was on body 55 when he was decommissioned and recalled from the DPD, eyes glazed over and sapped of life in a frozen garden.

He is never coming back.

Connor 54, on the other hand...
Connor 54 ended up in the junkyard that Markus crawled out of (the one you see in From the Dead). His body is in pieces; all he has is his torso and his head. He can't move. He lies there atop the bodies of those who came before him, helpless, staring at the sky as months pass.

After work, Shane took the trolley downtown, There was still a place or two down there he hadn't been banned from.
He was easily a block away when he saw the crowd, and heard the shouting.
#vss365
Assembled loosely on the corner was a group of well-dressed people. Some were holding signs, some were passing out literature. One fellow was saying something to people as they passed by, struggling to be heard over the traffic.
Protesters? Shane wondered.
#vss365
Too late, Shane realized one of the crowd was addressing him.
"Can I give you something to read?" The man pushed a small pamphlet into Shane's hand. He didn't seem angry at all.
"What are y'all protesting? What's this all about?"

As promised, here is a thread entitled “Confessions of a Clueless White-Lady Novelist.” #amwriting #mglit #kidlit
THE BOY FROM TOMORROW is a *very* white book, and I feel uneasy about this. But I didn’t make my characters white by default, and I want to talk about this today. I also want to tell you how I intend to write more diverse books from now on.
My two main characters are Josie and Alec. Josie is 12 years old in 1916; she is the daughter of a popular (and therefore affluent) Spiritualist medium. They live in a New York suburb.

Spending the morning with @BtSIsrael. #HolyWomenHolyLand
Avner Gvaryahu talks about straw widow raids—taking over a home, using the house as a military post. (Used in Lebanon and then West Bank). So soldiers up higher can look down at soldiers on the ground. Every night or every other night would take over someone’s home.
“That, for me, was when things started to crack.”

Story of doctor in Nablus who, after being handcuffed and blindfolded so they can take over... explains in English to Avner what life is like as a Palestinian.
