Sleeping pill didn’t work last night. I can already tell I am going to have a low, low tolerance for nonsense today. Best case scenario is that no one at work notices.

But when are not tolerating nonsense? Either tolerating or ignoring it. The time has long passed for the burden of responsibility to be on those inserting their nonsense into our lives. Political reform, social reform, #EducationReform, they are all the same thing.

If humanity is going to survive nice people must get meaner.

This Guardian article is sober and controversially true

Still, a better resolution would be a reformed educational system where Women’s Studies are taught from the start. Youth is not a barrier to justice or understanding.

Outrageous! This is not what education is for. It's high time we reform our education system to foster respect and understanding, not encourage violence and discrimination. Our children deserve better! #EducationReform #NoToHate https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/agra/private-school-teacher-encourages-students-to-slap-classmate-in-ups-muzaffarnagar-stirs-row/articleshow/103071257.cms

Without abolishing #capitalism and implementing urgent, whole-scale #EducationReform, addressing #climatechange will be impossible. Since neither of those is going to happen, welcome to the #climatecrisis. Quite certain you will have good seats.

I suppose I didn't truly expect there would come a time where so many #multicultural #progressives would themselves embrace toxic culture, and yet, here we are. Another argument for thorough #EducationReform.

From homeless to Ph.D.: How I found my way into research

By Emma Xu

https://www.science.org/content/article/homeless-phd-found-way-research

"But I frequently felt insecure about my prospects. One physics professor liked to show off photos of his son as a boy with Nobel laureates and brag about how the son started doing research as a high schooler. Oh, yes, his wife was a physics professor, too. I feared my late start meant my scientific career was doomed to failure."

As grand as my dreams for the subject matter to become normalized may be, the truth is I most likely will not live long enough to see #ViolenceStudies become integral in the education system. And the truth is, there is not one single reason why that should surprise me. Still, I do find it extremely disappointing.

By the time #academia realizes the importance of #ViolenceResearch on a wider basis, it will be far too late. Political turmoil will make #EducationReform near impossible. Only a thorough revolution will make it possible. I have my doubts U.S. citizens have that type of resolve in them.

I put some of my writing on #interdisciplinary #ViolenceStudies online again, this time at https://www.towardspostviolencesocieties.com/

This section does not go so much into #EducationReform, but does go into elements of how #SpaceAndPlace work into #ViolenceResearch. Aside from the science of education, I feel that the interdisciplinary #humanities central to Violence Studies offers a place for societal reform and growth.

Writers, philosophers, theologians, and psychiatrists don't have answers. Artists sometimes have answers, but half the time they borrowed it from someone else.

Futurists will tell you they have answers, but then ask you to invest in their start-up. 🙃

The closest I have ever come to finding answers is in interdisciplinary #ViolenceStudies and #EducationReform.
