Word Soup Time

Anyway enough lame gifted kid discourse we are in our 20s. Let's talk about how homeschooling in america should be fucking illegal it's insane lol

They actively brag about how they handicap their kids' ability to function in the modern adult world independently so that leaving the family/cult is impossible or at least incredibly difficult

So, this. I was homeschooled, and I will say. I did meet people who had legitimate reasons that homeschooling was better for them. Many had been in public school and were severely bullied, most due to disabilities. I myself was bullied relentlessly and my mom cites that as her reason for pulling me and my siblings out of school. (She was also enamored with the idea of downsizing into a trailer and traveling the country. Yes, with a newborn baby, two audhd kids, a dog, and her crumbling marriage) Here's how that went:

The other thing I'll add is that, homeschooling did not make me into the perfect propaganda machine my mom wanted. It didn't make my brother one either, and all the Gods willing it won't make my baby sister.

Despite my mom's best efforts, I still ended up queer, leftie, and pagan. My mom tried as hard as she could to stamp every little bit of individuality out of me, and it did. Not. Stick. (She told me once she wishes she oppressed me more, and I kindly informed her that if she did, I wouldn't still be speaking with her)

So like, indoctrination ain't shit, especially not in the age of the internet. Eventually those kids you tried to fold into perfect shapes will experience the culture shock of their lives. And yeah, many of them will end up doubling down, but not all of them. Probably not even most of them. They will step out of their echo chamber and see a huge beautiful world around them, and you can't perfectly fit a person back in a box once they experience that.

no you know what? fuck you. FUCK you. i do NOT deserved to be treated like this– the constant manipulation & gaslighting, i just cant take it anymore. you can pretend to throw the ball for some other dog, but im leaving...im finally standing up for myself. i just cant keep doing this with you... goodbye... *walks across the backyard and lays down* *lets out a big sigh*

shut up

This man is actually willy Wonka and he needs to be stopped. Someone needs to stop him. This is out of control.

So when I was getting dressed today, I very quickly put on a lab coat and some cat ears, not even trying to have something coherent, just wanting to have some kind of costume, and then I used some eyeliner to draw some whiskers on my face, so, yeah, that's my costume, cat in a lab coat, does it make sense? no. who cares. Still wearing the same skirt and striped knee-high socks from yesterday, but that's just my work clothes.

But then when I got to my office in the physics department, one of my colleagues was immediately like, "Oh! Schrödinger's catgirl!"
