conversations with my sisters cat
“So if little girls experience their menstrual cycle in 5th grade or 4th grade, will that prohibit conversations from them since they are in the grade lower than sixth grade?” asked state Rep. Ashley Gantt, a Democrat who taught in public schools and noted that girls as young as 10 can begin having periods.
“It would,” McClain responded.
Unbelievable. Link to article.
The first ever suicide prevention hotline was created in 1935 bevause a man conducted a funeral for a 14 year old girl who ended her life because she got her period. She didn't know what it was and assumed it was a STD. Learning about periods and sexual health is life saving. Republicans are unapologetically just evil.
You know, here's a thing: I went to Catholic school from age 5 to age 16. (My family's not Christian, but the local public schools weren't great, so -- )
In 4th grade, girls were given a clear, scientific, extremely bland pamphlet about menstruation. It was Boring and Educational. There wasn't any class about it or anything -- just the pamphlet, provided in a plain manila envelope for you to take home.
Starting in 5th grade, the school provided a small pack of pads to girls. This was probably so that anyone who unexpectedly started her period at school would have an emergency supply, but the thing was: this boring pamphlet, this pack of pads handed to you by a nun, made menstruation...so normal. It's so normal that a nun hands you a pack of pads. It's so normal that there's a boring pamphlet. It's just a thing your body does. (It's so normal that you realize, oh, nuns have periods, huh.)
It kills me, KILLS ME, that this totally boring and bland form of education about human bodies is somehow Too Much, Too Scary, Too Sexy, for some people.
Funny how a mass arrest goes completely under the radar when it's mostly teens, right?
To be clear there was no explosive; "hill bomb" is just what the event is called.
Holy SHIT. I just finished reading a related article, and y’all, this was so corrupt OTHER SFPD COPS ARE STANDING WITH THE KIDS.
Like basically their take is “yeah, some kids were being unruly. Y’all handled it ENTIRELY the wrong way and there is zero reason this should have happened.” There was an official meeting (I think like a monthly town hall kind of thing? I forgot to take note when I read it) and the cop who’s in charge of internal conduct investigation was there and he. Was. PISSED. And inviting parents and teens involved to give their testimony on the specifics of the rights violations they experienced so he could follow up and make full reports.
Like you KNOW shit’s fucked when even other police are looking at the police chief and saying “what the fuck is wrong with you?”
hi, i actually live in the bay, and have friends and comrades who were affected by this, i have no fucking idea where you got the notion that other police officers are going against their coworkers and city officials when SFPD !and they mayors office has made it plenty clear they see nothing wrong with what they did
"i forgot what officer was doing the internal investigation bur he was PISSSED" fuck out of here youre really gonna believe their bullshit??? are you fucking stupid?? no, hes frustrated the department has to do ANOTHER PR stunt because this is routine behavior for SFPD
do not spread bullshit unsourced cop propaganda about my community because you read one single article. get the fuck out of here
thinking about how the pickup truck is a symbol of American masculinity so a lot of people want to drive one but they also want a spacious interior with comfortable seating for five people so you end up seeing trucks where the cab is noticeably longer than the truck bed
come on now
corn doodles (but i made them in pen) because i really need to get a grip on drawing this fuckin guy
im just fucking around
