Shout out to all the Trans kids going back to school to face being misgendered, going to the wrong bathroom, and overall not feeling comfortable with who they are. We love you, you’ll make it through

Answer:
Depends on the proposals, th eone you are probably asking me about is for free college education.
For free college/university/higher education all it would take is to raise the tax on stock trades on Wall Street by 0.5% on stock trades (only 50 cents for every $100 worth of stock), a 0.1% fee on bonds, and a 0.005% fee on derivatives.It has been estimated that this would raise hundreds of billions a year ($300billion to be exact) which could be used not only to make tuition free at public colleges and universities in this country, it could also be used to create millions of jobs and rebuild the middle class of this country.
i swear to god, men raising their voice is the most terrifying thing in the whole world. they dont understand, like its an immediate panic response, game over
so I babysit these 2 kids, as most of you know. one is 8 and she’s a girl, and the other is 5 and he’s a boy. naturally, as the younger sibling, even though he won’t admit it, he wants to be just like his sister, which means playing with her toys and repeating things she says and all that.
the other day tho, she didn’t want him to pick up her special box that she made herself because y'know, accidents happen and she didn’t want him to break it. i asked him to put it down and after a little while, he did. then, i sat both of the kids down and talked to them. i told them, “when someone says ‘no’ or ‘stop’ you have to stop right away. it’s very important, because if you don’t, someone could get hurt. you don’t want to hurt anyone do you?” and they both shook their heads no. “okay,” i said, “but also remember that before you touch something that isn’t yours, you have to ask permission from the person who owns it.” then they nodded their heads and we went on with our day.
later, the little boy asked if he could touch his sister’s stuffed toy. once, she said no and he respected that and didn’t touch it. after that, she gave in and let him play with it. he started throwing it and the little girl told her brother to stop. he paused for a second, then carefully placed it down and said, “okay because i don’t want to hurt anyone,” and he looked right at me. and then for the rest of the day, when he told her to stop and vice versa they both did, as soon as it was said. if that’s not the cutest thing i don’t know what is!!
but it’s not just cute, to be clear, it’s evidence that IT’S EASY to teach kids about consent. SO TEACH THEM. PLEASE.
woah I expected this to get like 5 notes what the heck

My biggest fear is taking a screenshot of a convo and accidentally sending it to the same person
All you have to do is say, “What did you mean when you said this?” In reference to the screenshot you accidentally sent. That way it looks like you sent it on purpose.
