i taught swim lessons and preschool, do y’all wanna hear the most ridiculous white kid names i’ve ever seen?

  • i’ve met at least a dozen children named some form of “jackson” but the best ones were “jaxon” and “jakson” 
  • a parent who i really liked named her son “jaycob” because she was worried people wouldn’t pronounce it correctly. when someone accidentally spelled it “jacob” she would loudly and obnoxiously ask “WHO’S JAH-KOBE?” 
  • two siblings named “thor” and “tiara”
  • i once had a classroom with four girls named “brooklyn”
  • if you sent me a list of popular boy names, i could guarantee i’ve met every single one of them
  • twin girls named paisley and brinley
  • a girl named reader
  • a boy named rocko
  • keighleey
  • kayde
  • kolten
  • if it can start with a “k” instead of a “c” i have met that child
  • brittalynn 
  • i taught a swim class with three girls named “london” but only one of them was spelled “lundon” and i know my boss did that to me on purpose
  • a couple named all their kids after places in arizona: tatum, payson, and hayden
  • and speaking of hayden, i’ve seen: haydon, heighden, and heydon 
  • according to some white people, there are sixteen different ways to spell mckenzie
  • lakelyn, blakelynn 

this is white culture

it’s her…. reader…… those self inserts are about her now….

The problem with the idea of 8 hours of work, 8 hours of sleep and 8 hours of recreation as a structure for a day is that it simply can’t work that way. If I’m expected to be at work at 9, then my work day must begin at 7. Allowing myself a rushed experience to wake up and get to work. And I live close to work. So either my recreation or my sleep needs to take a hit, but for some people it could be more. 8 hours a day, 5 days a week as a basis for full time work is honestly unreasonable at that point. Because it isn’t actually 40 hours a week, it’s 50 hours a week lost to a job, of which 10 is unpaid.

some of my coworkers have 2h of transit to get to work, which takes 4-5h off their free time. working full time is a bad idea and shouldve never been a thing

This is, it’s worth noting, by design.  

It’s perfectly well known that people can only really “work” (in that they can only consistently and effectively perform tasks and create products) 3-6 hours a day, for 1 hour to 2 hours at a time. Generally speaking, the broad consensus among actual researchers is to aim for about 4 hours a day.

The rest of these work hours, and the associated sunken time necessary to get to and from these work hours, serves one purpose:

It exhausts people.

People who don’t have leisure time are stressed. People who are stressed need conveniences. People who need conveniences will pay for them.

People who are stressed also don’t have the energy to fight for their rights, having expended all that energy in just staying alive.

And let’s not forget that maintaining a clean home and providing food for yourself takes over 20 hours a week (appx 20 hours in-house, and varying hours spent running outside errands) if you are completely abled.

“I think it’s vital that teachers are trained about dyslexics, about dyslexia, about spotting it, and about working with dyslexic kids. It’s absolutely vital because the world is changing and imagination is key to everything and there’s going to be a lot of kids whose potential are lost unless we train our teachers to effectively teach them.”
