every one of my followers gets a little bowl of soup from the pot bubbling in the middle of my blog and a slice of bread with homemade butter on the side

I'm really curious about what you think schooling would look like in a Solarpunk world/future!

Because the current public school system is broken af and the homeschool system isn't much better. I personally have looked into things like Sudbury schools and found good things and also issues. I've always been a proponent of the IDEA of Unschooling (which I understand to be, letting the child learn naturally through the world around them, learn reading through reading to them or teaching math and even basic chemistry through teaching them to cook, etc) but it seems like most parents use it as an excuse to not educate their kids...

I really think kids should learn practical things alongside the Academic stuff (three Rs, science, etc) but no system seems right...

Oooh boy! Have I thought about this one endlessly!

So background info that I have to frame where I'm coming from-

A- the current system is built for school>> factory worker pipeline

B) it also evolved from ppl working at factories and needing to put their kiddos somewhere while they worked their 9-5! Thus Sunday school evolved from something to teach basic literacy to a full time job for children (it's legit nearly 40 hour weeks for CHILDREN) so there's a lot of padded time to ensure they meet that quota

C) it's used of a massive scale it was NOT designed to be used at

Soooo!! Let's imagine a better one!

Personally, based on children's development I think schooling should be broken up into focused chunks and then obvi each kiddo should be able to work at their own pace within these chunks of time.

0-6 Motor and sensory skills- introduced to music/shapes/building, "helping" with community chores (laundry/windows/dishes/sweeping), basics of plants/gardens, learning about transportation and basic navigation.

7-10 Written- literacy (reading/printing/telling time/storytelling/etc), health (emotional+physical), basic cooking + tool usage, basics of history/geography, basics of all sciences, gardening more independently

11-13 social + advanced work -- advanced history/science/literacy/home eco/etc.. start working within the community in a vollunteer capacity, Starting to specialize in interests, focuses in philosophy/analysis/debate,

14-20 community and citizenship --greated focus in Philosophy/debate/analysis in addition to apprenticeships of testing out what they'd like to do with their lives

20+ whatever they wanna do! Personally I think our adulthood should start over from 0 here. Bc after you hit 20 your a baby adult, but like a 35yr old is nearly a teenager as should be treated as such! Finding themselves, building community, getting the swing of all that jazz.

Then the WAY this is taught would be with ppl close to the kiddos, neighbors and parents and community leaders would be in charge of these chunks. Much more like a tutor or professor style where each teacher specializes in both the thing their teaching but also the kiddos their raising.

This reminds me of this one story I read is a kid where if you eat your vegetables you get to eat this delicious looking angel food. It was supposed to teach kids that vegetables come before the good stuff but I was so focused on the aesthetics and the eatability of it that I didn’t even care lmao.

I expanded on the rainbow cotton candy I drew. This aesthetic is just *moowah*

helpful guidelines for twitter users who are new to tumblr (but like for real)

there's no "ratio" here, it's kung pow penis or nothing

they're mutuals, not "moots" + specifying "oomfs" defeats the entire point of vagueing

the only thing staff cares about is turning this website into a clone of more profitable social media websites. even if you try to defend their bullshit they're not going to fuck you

occasionally staff will take death threats and suicide baiting seriously, but they're usually too busy shadowbanning lesbian bloggers and flagging queer SFW art to care

if you censor words (whether via l33tsp34k or using asterisks) you WILL be laughed at, we don't do that here

there is no algorithm, every single post on your dash (feed) is either from one of the people you follow or based on posts that YOU interacted with, if you see something you don't like there's no one to blame but yourself

both the person you reblog from and the OP of the post can see any tags you leave on said post

only the celebrities that stay in their lane (like neil gaiman) get to stick around. if they don't pass the vibe check, we can and will chase them off of tumblr

tumblr has a very, very long memory. if you fuck up bigtime and wind up hurting people, your url will be passed around for decades to come and you will always be remembered for said fuck up(s)

you know that black mirror episode 'nosedive'? we are the prisoners at the very end, left in jail to rot but somehow the most free we've ever been in our lives

nobody wants to listen to you self-flagellate about how privileged and pathetic you are

it's pretty safe to assume that the prettier and more aesthetically pleasing someone's blog is, the more vicious and vindictive they will be towards you if you piss them off

you can block anon hate but you'll still see a copy of whatever anons you received in your notifications

don't feed the trolls
