Police in Baltimore are amped and ready to tell you about every detail of damage inflicted upon patrol cars, buildings, exaggerated accounts of assault from ‘mobs’ of ‘threatening’ high schoolers–but can they tell you what Freddie Gray did? Can they explain with the same transparency and vigour what Freddie Gray did to deserve being beaten to the point where his spine was 80% severed from his cervical region? Freddie Gray was carrying a switchblade of legal size, Freddie Gray’s murderers unabashedly failed to provide him proper medical care under their custody, Freddy Gray fell into a coma after an hour of his confrontation with the police. Police officers in Baltimore are ready and prepared to go on CNN and discuss the number of cracks on their windshield but will not and cannot explain to you why Freddie Gray was targeted on April 12th, 2015.

When your child says “Why can’t I get a puppy?”
Instead of defaulting to “My house, my rules”
Try “Any pet is a lot of responsibility. A puppy would have to be fed, walked, and taken outside to use the bathroom several times a day and taken for regular check-ups and vaccinations at the vet. You can’t do all of that by yourself, and I/we don’t have the time or money either.”
When your teenager says “Why can’t I come home at 2:00 this Saturday?”
Instead of defaulting to “My house, my rules!”
Try “The time you come home is a matter of respect and consideration. I/We will not only be concerned for your safety, but we would either be disturbed in the middle of the night when you arrive or forced to stay up for several extra hours waiting.”
When your child says “Why am I not allowed to do this thing?”
Instead of defaulting to “My house, my rules!”
Try actually communicating a legitimate reason, because children pick up on subtlety and on context and on the unspoken messages, and it’s better to teach children lessons like “You should think really hard before taking on new responsibilities” and “It’s important to show consideration for the needs of the people with whom you share a living space” than lessons like “It’s okay for people to demand your absolute obedience so long as you’re dependent on them for survival.”

"I am insulted that this anime did/didn’t do a thing with race! POC deserve respect! I want them to change it to be more like I want!" The Japanese have a completely different racial and social history, so it may be that they are making it based on...
Best opening scene
Just had an idea for a horrible art game
One artist draws something, and then makes it a silhouette, gives this to another artist who doesn’t know what the actual drawing is, and they have to make a drawing within the silhouette based on what they think it is
Then the original and new version are compared
