I heard from a reliable source they’re changing the name to pebis
By that age, isn’t the probability of contracting oral herpes close to 100%?
This is very reassuring since I’m in a somewhat similar situation where my partner agrees with every point I make regarding food, housing, healthcare, education, acab, anti-colonialism, anti -imperialism, systemic racism, environmentalism and the problem that comes from having a society where a working class does not own the means of production, BUT only if I call all that shit socialism, not communism because communism bad, and they’re also pretty anti gun but at least they consistent and don’t think cops should have guns either. They want to be rich though, because they’d rather escape oppression by having enough wealth to not have to sell their labor anymore. So, kinda sus but not at all interested in teaching our kids political philosophy nor in interfering with my education plans for them so mostly benign parenting-wise from my perspective and potentially a useful foil considering the kids already don’t like them.
I’m glad to hear a similar situation works out for you. I will definitely take what you have shared and use it to improve my own parenting.
Teach them the stuff we all know we wished we were taught in school.
You know I keep that mf-ing thang on me (Zinn’s People’s History, Dunbar-Ortiz’ Indigenous Peoples’ History, etc) I’d love any recommendations you have for essential reading/viewing though.
Kids love to feel like they’re being let in on a secret or some forbidden knowledge.
Hell that’s like all I ever wanna talk about! They’re 2 now but I can’t wait to tell them about all this shit.
That’s a great point, I am by far their favorite parent and I think that is in large part due to how I listen to them and place great importance on their consent.
I haven’t had a direct connection to the UU church, I just read a lot about them and had a UU friend who was very well adjusted. I live in California so idk of there’s a quaker community out here. Is there anything about UU you think I should know?
From what my anthro and psych friends tell me it’s mostly just due to societal conditioning. Donation might not be possible due to the lifelong anti rejection immunosuppressant meds necessary for transplant recipients though.
