Use tax dollars to feed children/students who, by law, have to attend schools.
Not just free lunch, but free community college for people over 25!

Shoutout to whoever picked a golf to use for this infograph, because it’s probably an intentional reference to the “Harlequin” golf, which as you can see by comparing the modle to the infograph, is unfortunately a relic of the time when colors were winning.
so um….looks like Bradley Cooper (goy) has been cast to play Leonard Bernstein, a Jewish man, in his upcoming film Maestro (a biopic about a real Jewish composer). rather than hiring a Jewish actor to tell a story about a Jewish man, they cast a goy…who will be wearing a prosthetic nose.
and if that weren’t enough - they cast Carrie Mulligan, an Irish woman, to play Leonard’s wife…who was a Latina. and Maya Hawke, a white woman who is neither Latina nor Jewish, has been cast to play their daughter.
AND don’t forget that Bradley Cooper grabbed the rights to Bernstein’s music before Jake Gyllenhaal, A JEWISH MAN WHO WAS GOING TO MAKE A BIOPIC ABOUT BERNSTEIN, was able to. we could have had a respectful biopic about a Jewish man, told by Jews. instead we get this.
i…don’t have words to explain how insidious this is. the absolute goydacity to keep a Jewish man from telling this story, whitewash the other people in a true story, and to cast a goy instead of a Jewish person to tell a true story about a Jewish man, and have that goy wear a prosthetic nose. they would rather Jew-ify a goy than cast an actual Jew. i’m disgusted.
the response to any outraged pearl-clutching against youth liberation like "how are we supposed to protect kids from [insert thing here] if we don't have complete authority over them?" is simply that maybe you should try to talk to them as if they are actual sapient beings?
if your adult friend wants to engage in possibly risky behaviour you would hopefully not also react by imprisoning them and forcing them to relinquish their autonomy through threats and coercion. you would just, you know... talk to them about it.
like you don't need to go on some long winded defense of youth liberation using theory and citations and whatever, "I think children are conscious beings capable of independent thought" is enough of a justification
This happens all the time when mocking anarchists.
"let's abolish bed times lololol"
Yeah? Like. Yes. Sorry I know you just said you don't need long winded defenses and I agree but also I'm long winded LMAO
Anyway, yeah. Let children sleep when their body tells them they need sleep. Let them be awake when it tells them they don't. Bed times and strict school schedules are almost entirely to mimic jobs and get them used to getting up early to go to a place where they have no power and doing things to make someone else happy when learning should be fun and for the purpose of personal growth and ability.
So yeah fucking "abolish bedtime" because kids are still humans and them learning to listen to their bodies is part of growing up.
To anyone who needs to hear this:
If you’re feeling disconnected from the positive spectrum of emotions— from the enjoyment you get from spending time with your favourite people, from the comfort of your go-to show, from the satisfaction of engaging in your creative hobbies, from the relief of something hard ending, from the happiness of any situation that on paper should make you feel good…
You’re not broken.
You could be tired, exhausted, not sleeping well, stressed, burnt out, depressed, experiencing symptoms from a multitude of mental illnesses and disorders.
All these things can pass, be temporary, be medicated, or worked on and alleviated.
You’re a complex little human, not meant to always be happy (nice as that would be), so ride it out, do the things that will help without expectation of immediate success and you will get there.
