Honestly .world should have just blocked the most common shiposting Hexbear comms like chapotraphouse and dunk_tank as these are what most users found annoying. And I believe ther are more leftists on .world than one might think. There’s a great games comm on Hexbear too, and downvote away on the leftist game posts - Hexbear doesn’t have downvotes anyway!
A year ago, the Colorado legislature put new restrictions on the use of reunification therapy. The new law barred courts from restricting the custody of a parent who is competent, protective and not abusive solely to improve a relationship with the other parent. It prohibits reunification treatment that is predicated on cutting off the relationship between a child and a protective parent the child has a bond with.
State lawmakers acted after The Denver Gazette published investigations into Colorado’s troubled family court system, which has been plagued by accusations of bias, usually from mothers who say they are punished and can have their parenting time restricted during divorces when they seek to protect their children from abusive fathers.
During one troubled two-month stretch, four children were murdered in December 2022 and January 2023 by a parent embroiled in a high-conflict court custody battle. Police classified all four deaths as murder-suicides, in which fathers killed their children and then themselves.
Sounds like, even besides her own eye-witness accounts, she has good reason to be concerned. He already tried to kill his son once, and the son is probably going to testify in the child molestation case against him. This case, and reunification therapy, seem really fucked up.
I definitely had to have a chat with my SO about letting me vent without problem solving. I still have to remind them from time to time. Some people are just solution-minded like that.
This is called Social Emotional Learning and is a big thing in the school I teach in, but has big pushback from many conservatives because it talks about respecting people for their differences, even if they are gay or trans or a poc.
You know what, that image of Cubone playing the flute is so serene that it’s finally quelled the sadness in my heart since reading those words on Pokémon Yellow all those years ago.
Walters said at Thursday’s meeting that Boismier violated rules that prohibit instruction on topics related to race and gender. He told reporters that she “broke the law.”
Oh? I didn't realize providing a link to an online resource was considered teaching or had anything to do with race or gender. 🤔
I heard some stuff that was worse happened after I left (girl brought a knife in her bra, someone turned on the gas in the chem lab) but during my time was the Ketchup Incident.
I guess the lunch monitors felt that students were taking too much Ketchup at lunch and “wasting” it, so they started monitoring it - two pumps, no more. Well, the guy I had a crush on (funny cool rebel type, in a band, all that) decided to bring Ketchup to school to share. He got in school suspension for some amount of time, and there were kids caring signs, and I remember a few times chanting, “Free (guy’s name)”. He became a folk hero of the oppressed student. They eventually reinstated full Ketchup privileges, and it was all because of him. At least, that’s how I remember it.
A few years later, dumb ass senior boys glued the sports trophies to the floor of the gym and got in huge trouble.
The schools I know have specific rules of conduct that says anyone who works at the school can not have a relationship with a student, and also for two years after the student has graduated or left the school. And that’s apart from age of consent.

Fair, that’s what I did.
