Getting consent is always right, of course. It's weird because they're so... transactional about it. And, apparently a professional writer about sex and relationships.

Even if you're bad with social cues and can't figure out whether or not someone would appreciate horny texts, there are still ways to ask without sounding like a beep boop robot.

Talk shit, get bzzzt.

you should always get consent before sexting, and a short non-robot text beforehand could save your recipient some embarrassment if, say, you send them a picture of your bangin' titties while their dad is looking at a meme on their phone or w/e

but I'm the kind of person that always uses a coversheet when faxing so maybe I'm just a brokebrain in more respects than I already knew I was

It's like how 'emotional labor' revealed that a shitload of people view their personal relationships as transactional. (And it originally wasn't even supposed to be about relationships but about jobs forcing you to do things like smile all day)

Ah but see by gatekeeping emotional labor as specifically paid labor you are reinforcing the patriarchal devaluation of women's work, and why yes I am a completely intolerable human being, why do you ask?

ERM... Actually I have stellar scores on the surveys, and every year students tell me that my classes are the best ones they’ve ever taken.
I see that this is specifically for an Early Childhood Education class, so I suppose carrying a fake electric baby around for a while is a reasonable assignment, but I've mostly seen those things in high school sex ed classes (along with the simpler bag of flour/watermelon thing). Is there any evidence that those projects decrease teen pregnancy rates, or is it just some regressive abstinence bullshit?

e: 5 seconds of googling and no, they do the exact opposite, lol

8% of the girls who took care of the robot babies either had a baby or an abortion before age 20 vs. 4% of those who did not

I'm assuming it's no where near as effective as just providing comprehensive sex education including birth control and providing birth control to any student who wants it.

The Irish famine was less a problem of crop failure and more a problem of English imperialism. They were growing plenty of other crops in Ireland but the English were exporting them all and leaving only potatoes for the Irish. When that crop got a blight and the Irish began to starve the English continued to take the wheat, barely, and other crops anyway.

Oh thank god the American economy is designed in a much more egalitarian manner where people don't make insane amounts of money off of the labor of people who can barely afford to eat as it is.

I remember when I was in high school, the administration was absolutely, unflinchingly adamant that you 100% had to do the fake electronic baby thing or you wouldn't graduate. For a lot of other classes you could challenge them and opt out if you could prove some sort of equivalence or comparative grasp of the material, and there was a junior college in the same town so you could, for example, elect to take things like English or history classes there and challenge the high school courses with those (which I did because the high school versions were really bad), but there was nothing they would accept as a fair substitute for spending a week carrying around what amounted to a glorified alarm clock. All you did was jam a key in its back to make it stop crying.

I bet if you had a real baby they'd accept that as a substitute.
