so. basically. tl;dr i ffuucking hate school it sucks and it doesnt. do ANYTHING but make things worse . anyway.

the schooling system like. it sucks for me specifically in a few ways idk abt anyone else. for starters; neurodivergency literally at all makes it so hard to function in a classroom environment. its so loud? idk if anyone else gets that in their classrooms but you can hear my class of 23~ from the bottom floor of the 3 story building and that’s considered quiet. as well as like, i cannot function in a classroom without my friends? im out at school and like.... everyones.. transphobic obv why wouldnt they be, and its not in like a..any avoidable way. if i sit with the guys they’ll refuse to talk to me and deadname me all period adn if i sit with the girls theyll laugh at me every time i fucking breathe idk, but the school still thinks putting me in a classroom with kids that visibly hate me and see me as a CRINGE ENTERTAINMENT IRONY MACHINE is like a good idea? and a good way for me to make friends? i dont know if its my luck or if they’re deliberately doing it, but, next term for example i have drama and cooking as classes. two of my friends also have cooking ....but they dont have me in their class. they’re together. but im not in their class. im on my own because other than them and the girl who already did cooking these past two terms (so she cant do it next term) i have.... no other friends. so im definitely in a class of complete strangers! and the way they have this school, you have no choice but to work with someone else in a cooking class...... you are paired with someone in the same mini kitchen and its a disaster but i digress.

also, like. school goes for 6 hours. by the time you get home and get changed and get settled, its sunset so you can’t go out and do anything. you can’t go to the park or climb a tree. youre stuck inside. your family is like groggy from work or whatever and doesnt want to talk to you. you have no energy to get online and talk to your friends online. or theyre asleep. so basically at least for me i get... no time to actually talk to my friends, for example i havent had an actual conversation with piper in like... two months i swear. we’ve forgotten how to talk to eachother and that actually goes with all of my friends. by the weekend we’re still awkward because we havent spoken in months so we can’t really even talk. and because of this rigid like, routine you have to have to actually be able to go to school at all (wake up 7. eat. get dressed. go to school. come home. get changed. eat. shower. go to bed. repeat), i actually like.... find myself. forgetting Everything. i dont know what it is about strict routine where i cannot be myself (my school has a strict and ugly uniform), but it makes me ... completely forget everything slowly and my memory decays. my time blindness gets worse to the point where i dont know what month it is on a regular basis and like... i ditch a lot? because of this? maybe if the schedule didnt make me dissociate and forget everything i wouldnt ditch constantly and like. actually go to school. but like my attendance is... im not at school 25% of the time because i physically cannot go every single day and attend to that rigid and exact cycle that doesnt even teach me anything

doesnt even teach me anything? i dont ... learn anything from school. they like. reteach the same meaningless part of a subject every single year. every year in religious studies in october i learn about the rosary and we spend a lot of the period praying the rosary and i like. ok. cool. its a religious school yeah but what am i actually learning from this. and every year in social studies we learn abt the waitangi treaty but the way they teach it is so whitewashed and utopian and its fucked and they teach it the same way every year around the same time. and anzac day. and in math im not going to use any of those skills you teach me, i dont care about algebra or anything because thats not really going to actually help me in my life im an artist for fucks sake teach me about managing my own finances! teach me how to do taxes! teach me how to function in the society i live in! teach me the important things that ill sink under or die without knowing i want to actually know important things but by cramming so many unimportant things in my brain all the time i forget the actual important things, i fucking failed basic addition and subtraction last year, i’ve forgotten division and multiplication past the 10 times table, but i can vaguely read an algebra equasion BUT FUCKING ALGEBRA EQUASIONS WILL NEVER UFCKING GET ME ANYWJERE!!!!! and it makes me so fucking angry i want to learn and function and KNOW

and the way they tightly bundle everyone to being one conforming individual who dresses like everyone else, is at the same intelligence level as everyone else, is a catholic like everyone else, does not question authority as everyone else or does not question themselves like everyone else or think like anyone else OR BE DIFFERENT THAN ANYONE ELSE makes me want to FUCKING THROW UP. there are so many hopes and dreams that i remember watching from primary school to now sink into a hopeless pit of stereotypes and basic conformity, people who used to be nice are suffocated into being horrible people so that theyre liked by their peers or get anny attention from the school at all, guys who used to respect women (god forbid) suddenly becoming horrible to anyone of any slightly different gender identity but you can actually see on their face how weird it is to them, waves of 11-14 year olds getting nose studs that get infected and they’re forced to have them taken out by the school, kids trying to do their makeup to look like SOMEONE to BE AT ALL DIFFERENT FROM ANYONE ELSE are put right back in their place and told to take it all off and their parents are called and if youre caught with the wrong jacket your parents are called and youre told youre too poor to wear what the school provides yet THEY DONT EVEN LET YOU WEAR WHAT THE SCHOOL PROVIDES WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS 70 DOLLAR HOODIE FOR WHEN YOU WONT LET ME WEAR IT WHILE IM SHIVERING I DONT SEE THE POINT OF ENFORCING SUCH TIGHT POINTLESS SMALL BOUNDARIES OF WHAT A PERSON CAN BE WHY IS IT SO LIMITED? are we not allowed to do anything? you cant even have one strip of hair dye yet a teacher can have a full head of bright purple hair what’s that about? you can have antisemetic pins on your senior year blazer jacket but the second you put a pride pin on there youre called to the principals office and asked why youre promoting this to kids

you try a speech on trans rights and they dont even pass you and pretend its because you got over the time limit but you didnt, you timed it yourself for your friends you didnt get over the time limit and you know it but you didnt even place in fourth you placed last out of 6 or 8 and you wonder why that is because every year in the past you soared into first so whats that about???? in my speech i said be yourself and dont be afraid to experiment with your gender lightly and they told me to take it out because its seen as too much and i said what the fuck? that’s the most important part of my speech, i want to promote acceptance in others and the self and they said take it out or you cant present your speech. they actively suffocate any sort of self expression or nonconformity of any sort you have to be a plain cookiecutter boy or girl and thats it you cannot be anything else, for nearly 6 months theyve fought me and my mom about my hair but if anyones being hurt by it its me because it draws more attention to the kid you can call slurs, are you hurt because im actually expressing myself? are you hurt by my little sharp stud earrings and my industrial piercing and the embroidered cuff on my shirt? are you offended by the heart on my belt or the platforms on my school shoes because the last time i checked none of these were illegal things to have at school

this kind of got a lot angrier than i meant to make it but ive been . really angry abt this for the past year idk. i really just wanted to write this because i ahvent spoken to piper properly in months and the way we talk now seems like when we just met but i cannot carry a conversation anymore because school knocked the wind out of me all over again and the sudden inability to talk to any of my friends online makes me want to scream until my lungs give out im so tired

August 20: 1x11 The Menagerie Part 1

Hello time for Spock’s Mutiny Part One

That is a LOT of 50s looking sci fi background to hit with me all at once.

Spock with his carefully neutral face like ‘hmmm? a distress signal that did not come from here? how COULD that be?’

Kirk and Spock tilt their heads at the exact same time lol.

“Subspace chatter.” Please, Commodore, call it what it is, “gossip.”

“We met when he was promoted to Fleet Captain.” Okay so he was promoted, but to a weird rank that literally only exists for like two people in Star Trek I guess. (I had to look it up because I don’t know what a Fleet Captain is lol.)

I don’t understand how Pike could be the same age as Jim and yet hold the Captain’s position for 11+ years before Jim was promoted like??? Did he become a Captain faster than AOS!Kirk? Also, he looked like he was Jim’s age now in those tapes from 13 years ago. He cannot possibly be in his mid-30s now, or he’d be in his early 20s on the Talos tapes, and also, younger than Spock. So either I misheard or...it’s wrong. I guess it was supposed to mean that he was, at the time Spock served with him, the same age Jim is now?? But it shows up in a weird place to be making that point.

Oh, Spock’s mentor. The emotion.

And so begins Spock’s amazing cavalcade of lies, lies, and more lies. Doesn’t even look like it’s hard. He’d basically do anything for his replacement father.

Pike must be the only other person Spock has ever served under.

I love it when they argue about records and log books. Like, this sort of bureaucratic dueling makes up a lot more of the TOS plot than people think. The record logs must have been changed because Spock never lies!

Love that Kirk and Mendez are fighting and Mendez just yells “Well you’re right!” and that’s the end of the argument.

Is this the same Jose who wanted his peppers in another episode?

Spock is so supremely sneaky here. Mission Impossible theme plays as he skulks around and messes with the computers.

Okay, that little flirting thing with Miss Piper and the mention of “Helen” and Kirk looking briefly worried about what Helen might have said about him--that does make him look a little slutty. So he loves love okay guys!!!

That scenery out the window omg 1954 called it wants its illustrations back.

All these dumbasses on the bridge and only Uhura is suspicious.

Spock is so exasperated. All these questions! Good thing he has a fake recording of the Captain telling them all to just listen to Spock. He really thought of everything.

Kirk is looking very handsome and thoughtful. (My mom: finally a man who can think and still look fine.) He’s so distressed at the idea of Spock doing something bad.

This Bones and Kirk scene. I’m so distracted by their insistence that Vulcans can’t lie. I mean have you considered that when they told you they can’t lie.... they were lying??? Also lol @ the idea of Spock’s human side being “completely submerged.” That’s another lie he’s telling you Bones!

Love Bones defending Spock though. “He would never make a false entry! This is the LOGS were talking about here!” He adores Spock too.

That’s a cool little secret book they got there.

Kirk’s face when the Enterprise leaves without him!

Self-driving Enterprise.

I love how everyone is just unaware of the mutiny lol. Just cackling at Spock’s blatant and constant lies. “I’ve placed myself in command of the Enterprise.” Sitting in The Chair.

I’m sorry but I’m laughing so hard at all of this. He made sure to lure Bones back onto the ship with the vaguest of messages just so he could be like “Look, friend, I have a secret... I stole a Captain!”

Lol Jim following in the shuttlecraft. Can’t get rid of him that easily! Also I love the shuttle design. Adorable.

Oh no, Jim’s in danger! You can tell from Spock’s face that this was a crimp in his plan that he did not entirely expect. (I do think he figured he’d be court-martialed eventually but this specifically, Jim not turning back when he ran out of fuel, I think did throw him.)

Jim, caring more about Spock than about himself.

Bones like “hmmm who could it POSSIBLY be in the shuttle?”

“I never received orders to take command. Just went ahead and did it.”

Well this is an awkward situation!

Bones: “Well, confine him!”

Uhura’s reaction lol. Always a cutie.

Dammit I’m a doctor, not an arresting officer.

Scotty muttering (possibly his only line in this ep)

Spock’s weird statue. Lurking in the background while Spock somehow spies on the transporter room from his room? With a camera that can zoom in and out for dramatic effect?

So Spock thought it was possible Jim would follow him, so he made his mutiny impossible to undo.

Weird how they yet again call Spock a lieutenant commander when his rank stripes have always indicated he’s a commander.

I love when they discuss regulations. These nerds! They locate so much drama in it and the JD in me is having a damn good time.

I feel like this is the closest Jim and Spock have ever come to fighting. DENIED!

Oooh fancy dress time.

I feel like Spock is having a good time here lol. He lives for the drama.

He’d make a good lawyer. Kirk would too.”Commodore, you’ve opened the door” takes me back to Evidence.

And now, 13 years ago...

Jim, you’re ruining the DRAMA with your interruptions!

“Could you be biased because he’s your personal friend? Your special friend? Your best buddy Spock?”

This pilot looks like it was made 10 years before The Corbomite Maneuver or even Where No Man.

Young Spock wants to go exploring on the new planet! Kirk 100% would have gone, like, no question.

What kind of random ass outfits were those? Tennis Sunday on the Enterprise?

Look at that close up shot of the communicator. My flip phone c. 2032.

Gotta flop on the bed in the most photogenic way possible. Google Earth, always taking pictures.

This doctor is so obviously proto-Bones. And Pike IS Kirk but whinier and without that Shatner charm.

Swords and armor and deserted fortresses?? What?

This whole ep just reads as SUCH a rough first draft.

Knowing what we know about Spock, I almost doubt there was a distress message lol.

Time warp factor 7.

Court of space law.

Literally can’t believe they watched a 10 minute clip of Pike whining as part of this actual legal proceeding.

Kirk’s probably very curious to see more of Spock in his 20s.

Spock’s eyeshadow at the trial is super on point.

I can’t believe Pike has literal papers lol. Like papers made out of paper. They have printers in deep space?

Their little away team jackets, so cute.

More 50s sci fi backgrounds! I feel like people who think TOS is dated or ages badly need to watch this and, to a lesser extent, Where No Man. I think it shows just how much TOS did its own thing bc those pilots really took from the recent sci fi landscape, whereas TOS created its own thing. I think that’s why TNG looks more dated to me--it seems of a piece with other 90s media, whereas, aside from stuff like the hairstyles or the miniskirts, TOS doesn’t look 60s and it doesn’t look like other contemporary genre work.

Pretty blue flowers that make music make Spock smile--that’s my favorite part of the whole pilot. He’s so cute.

A GIRL.

I love that reveal that the transmissions are coming from Talos IV because it means that Spock, while on trial for mutiny and an attempted capital offense, commits ANOTHER capital offense AS PART OF his trial. The balls.

“I respectfully decline.”

Literally the only time he freaks out about anything is when Jim is blamed. I mean truly his plan is at least 50% more complicated than it had to be solely to protect Jim. And now the Captain is going down with him, and he’s mad at him!! A cliffhanger for sure.

Honestly, even the power of Jim just standing alone in the room.... Underrated.

“To be concluded next week.”

toffee!

ah yeah i suppose ur right. yeah i think quarentine has had that sort of effect on a lot of people :( sorry to hear abt ur strict parents, hopefully ur friend will be able to come back soon. small outings (even with family) are still good tho, make sure ur taking care of urself toff.

youre totally right! ah yes thats good advice (/gen) ill try and use that when im in a slump ty. any music suggestions?

lol sames. even some of the stuff abt seungmin, innie etc is a little uncomfortable, like theyre grown ass men for sure, but at the same time, theyre still young, still just over being a teenager in the grand scheme of things. (on that note, i do struggle with worrying that im infantalising them, obviously theyre adults but at the same time, theyre still young. i do treat all fictional characters as my children, but i guess its different when its real people. idk. what do you think?) yeah some stans rlly need to take a chill pill, some are rlly walking the wire between 'ah theyre attractive/that look rlly suits them' and making fucking smut fics abt minors, like... they do not see a problem with that?? yeah tbh i feel like unless theyre 18 they shouldnt be put into the spotlight, weve seen what it does to peoples mental health, but modern day kpop industry is a lot like old hollywood with a lot of popular child actors -_- hopefully the big companies will learn but i agree, its unlikely

suuuuure toff haha. ill go searching for them, but idk if ill be able to find the fluff needle in the angst haystack (jkjk) yeah, fair i groan and complain but you do write angst etc rlly well, so if its what ur comfortable with, then pls continue, it is one of your strong suits, well as you write fluff aside

ah okay good! ill continue to send you essays then

THE ALBUM YES. so ive been looking forward to it for literally months, this is actually my first skz album release as a stay (since the last on was 9 months ago) i was sitting there hitting refresh on my spotify the second 6pm kst came around. (speaking of which, how did you do the release? i couldnt decide whether to watch or listen first but i ended up on listening cos there would be more material) okay: so cheese was super cool, very skz ya know? tho i almost wish theyd made domino the title track, tho obv it was a more experimental track and would have been a bit controversial (much like whistle for bp) i looooved domino and thunderous was absolutely impeccable. all the songs were amazing but standouts were- secrets, secrets which lowkey made me tear up idk why, red lights which almost killed me (it did not have to go that hard, but it did) and OT8 WOLFGANG omgggg i wasnt sure if hyunjin was going to be included in it but i was hoping and, ya know people had said hed be in there, but the further i got in, the less i was sure and then BAM hyunjin started what had been jisung's part and i just sat there grinning for about 5 minutes. surfin was absolutely adorable and gone away almost made me cry AGAIN. star lost was so touching, almost a nod to hyunjins little star? silent cry was relatable beyond anything. SSICK was funny? for some reason I was laughing while it was playing, idk the combination of added cheering and minhos aggressiveness and the totall seriousness they sung it. but i rlly enjoyed it. sorry i love you showcased their vocals like nothing else. the view is THE BOP of 2021, absolutely going to be stuck in my head for the next decade, that hook is genius. what did you think?

also did you watch their grow up performance? with all the stays and ALL THE TEARS? ;n; i feel like this is the end of an era of skz and tbh im kinda happy but also sad. super excited for their promotions but super bummed they wont get to tour. ah well

<3 w.a. 🐺

answer under the cut bc i gave an equally long answer to this already long ask HAJSH

oh yeah, abt quarantine having an effect. my friend and i talked about this earlier actually. i didn't realize the world was moving so fast until the pandemic happened. being in quarantine gave me time to think and i got to know myself more. it's just the sole good thing i got out of the isolation lmao. and abt my strict parents, ironically i got to go out today so i got to hang out with a few of my bestfriends. i had fun but my legs are a bit sore from walking. but they're a different set of friends. i'll get to hang out with the others when my getaway driver comes home in december.

hmm music recommendations for writing? depends on the plot you're writing. care to share what story you're working on and i'll try to rake my brain for a song that might match the vibe. i listen to classical / lo-fi if i don't have song inspo for a fic because lyrics sometimes distract me.

i don't think that's infantilizing tho. for me, it has something to do with my environment and the way i was raised. maybe it's the same the other way around? like this certain age (for the ones above 18 but below 20) is thirst-able for them. idk really. it's just not for me ?n? what i do NOT condone is writing smut for minors??? like get checked : D // i agree with everything with the idols being 18+ before they debut simply because it's for the best for their well-being like. how can young idols decide that this shit is the thing they want to do for life? or at least until their contracts last. idk :// it's unfortunate that it's unlikely to happen.

WELL. i have a list so you won't have to go search for them! in class (minho), in the rain (seungmin), gladius maximus (chan) and you've read five star already. and i just realized that most, if not all, of my upcoming fics are fluffs and i'm fond of all of them :D i used to focus a lot on angst because fluff disgusted the living shit out of me. i think things changed when i wrote champagne problems and hurt myself so bad i wanted to drop angst entirely. i didn't, of course, but i allowed myself to be self-indulgent now.

for the release of the album, i was on twt and watched the vid at 12 views (if i remember correctly, i watched back door at 14 so HASJH) i’m gonna talk by track so it wont be too confusing? bc i wrote this in paragraph format and it just ???? beware im very picky with tracks even if they’re my ults. so no offense if we have opposing opinions and i’m not fond of reading lyrics so these are all music wise.

cheese - oh god i hated cheese at first listen but it grew on me easily. i was singing the yeahyeahyeahyeah bit all day today :D

thunderous - i cant say that it’s my favorite title track. it felt really dry sometimes, both mv and music wise. but at the same time, it’s not that bad. the choreography carried the song tho o.O it’s so fucking cool. but like go live, another track has my heart and it’s

domino - AND YES I AGREE THAT THEY SHOULDVE MADE DOMINO TITLE TRACK UGHHHHH WHAT A WASTED FUCKING OPPORTUNITY. WORDS CANNOT EXPRESS HOW FOND I AM OF THIS SONG. it stands close to the level i love easy.

ssick - was a skip on first listen too because i found the chorus underwhelming but it grew on me? not that much but i can bear listening to it.

the view - it’s something the gen public like, hence its something i dislike. im not fond of songs that are structured like this? it’s not a bad song, just not the type of song i like. but i agree that the hook is very not catchy but it would get stuck in ur head.

sorry, i love you - it’s not as sad as i expected but i actually like it??? i can’t wait to write a fic out of it (1) HAJSHAJ it’s like a 3/5 for me. it’s angsty but chill?

silent cry - i’m pissed at this song bc it hits but sometimes it doesn’t?@?#!? but it’s starting to grow on me but definitely not my fave track.

secret secret - glad i found a secret secret enthusiast because my irls thought it was a skip?$?#@$? it gives me ikon vibes and i’m a huge fan of ikon’s discog so this was a win for me T_T +

STAR LOST - gives me bigbang song vibes and now im very sad :(( in case u didnt know, i’m a hUGE yg fan and 2ne1/bigbang introduced me to kpop so when i heard this track that gave me yg feels i just <3___<3 and it’s one of my favorite tracks anw moving on,

red lights - I WANT TO SKIP THE FIRST TEN SECONDS OF RED LIGHTS EVERY TIME IT PLAYS LIKE IT MAKES ME FEEL AWKWARD KDSJFSK but fine. i’m adding this to props and mayhem’s playlist LMAO it’s more aggressive than sexc tho. more enemies to lovers o. O

surfin’ - this coming right after red lights just wasn’t the best decision arrangement wise because how did we go from ooh sexc to aigh pARTAY. felix saying sheesh T___T it’s such a fun song i want to go to the beach ;n; do you like beaches?

gone away - i have yet to read the lyrics because i’m using this as inspo for a jeongin fic jskjash it’s not the type of ballad i like but it’s so fucking sad to listen to :’ ) the pitch change caught me off guard? still does. it’ll grow on me prolly.

wolfgang - I YELLED WHEN I HEARD HYUNJIN IN WOLFGANG. i didn’t like this song until recently. it gives me the confidence boost i need to pick myself off self-esteem crashes.

and no i haven't watched that performance and i prolly wont because i’ll cry. i’m excited for the promotions too. do you think they’ll still have a repackage?? i cant fucking believe that i just finished waiting for 12am kst for skz teasers and now i have to look forward to 12am for nct 127??@?#? NOT A SINGLE DAY OF REST FOR THIS STAYZEN

i never really post on here personally because i migrated to twitter a few years ago and the appeal of tumblr left me shortly after but ive talked about this topic ive had on my mind on twitter a lot already and ive bugged my friends in their dm’s too much but i still need to get it off my chest so im gonna talk about it some more anyway

in november this past year i messaged an artist hosting a secret santa event pledging to participate, and the next day they sent me back saying, no, i cant participate, because my art looks “too traced”

i dont post my art on this blog much anymore since i started posting it on my sideblog but i do draw fairly often and for years, for YEARS, one of the things that has contributed to my horrible, horrible depression (besides like, everything else) is my very bad habit of comparing myself to literally everyone and everything else. its taken me a long time to start trying to break this habit and not feel bad about my own abilities or skills in comparison to other people, and to this day im still struggling with it. art has been a personal battle for me, as it is for anyone who creates things regardless of what it is, and ive given up, sometimes for months or years at a time, only to eventually come back and start drawing again and then hate how far behind i felt because of all the time i spent not improving any at all.

so fast forward from 2012 where i “seriously’ start drawing to the start of last year, after going through maybe 3 hiatuses where i didnt draw for over 6 months, to where i finally bought my own tablet (after borrowing off my girlfriend or just drawing with pencil) in april and started actually seriously drawing again, all summer and during school even i was just drawing out the ass, all the time, i was putting more shit down than i had for a long long time and it was bad but i was real proud of it because i was creating things! and thats what ive always wanted to do, is just put stuff out in the world. to make things with any sort of permanence. so all last year i was really pleased with my progress and i was even getting better at drawing faces and coloring so i was real pleased.

so i get into a few new hobbies during the year and start following a bunch of artists on tumblr, or blogs that promote other artists, because id gotten to enough of a point where seeing other people accomplished at art didnt make me feel quite so bad about myself as it used to - i was able to look at other peoples success with pride on their behalf and not anger or jealousy. and at this point id start liking a little bit of my own attention, so i make a separate art blog dedicated to my art and my characters. and theres this one artist i really admired. they draw nothing but their oc’s, which is also nothing but what i draw too, and they were popular and everyone liked their characters and they had lots of artists friends they could talk with and do trades with and it was and is everything i wanted to be. i wanted to be that sociable and liked and known, even if it was just among a small group of friends in a small part of a niche interest, i wanted to participate in something.

so i see this secret santa i really want to join, hosted by none other than this artist i look up to, quite a lot. id sent them a few anons before with various questions on things and felt comfortable enough to message them and ask about joining the secret santa. i was finally comfortable enough in my artistic abilities to want to join, too, which was huge for me. so i message them, and wait for them to message me back.

and they do , the next day, and its to immediately tell me that my art looks too traced and that i should “stay away” from their art trade. as any aspiring artist will tell you, tracing photos is good. it helps you get muscle memory and learn perspective, anatomy, blah blah. as long as you dont do anything with it or pass it off as your own.

but tracing photos or god forbid other peoples art and then posting it online and saying “look at this thing i drew all by myself arent you proud!?” is entirely different, and obviously isnt something ive ever fucking done, but its what they wanted to accuse me of, saying i was being deceitful and that other people in the trade would be mad if they knew. so, no, ive never done that. i never said ive never traced photographs before, i do it all the time to practice poses and anatomy and then i send them to my friend and say “ha i drew my characters doing this thing” and like, thats the only light of day it sees.

but apparently this artist was and still is under the impression that everything ive ever drawn was traced, as if i never put any work into anything. i do. i dont even know how to express that statement enough. i do . i do put hard work into the stuff i make. i practice and i draw and i sketch and no, im not fucking great at art, but it makes me happy and i can draw my ocs and thats really all i want to be able to do, so when someone comes to me , someone i looked up to and admired , and accuses me of being a liar and a fake, it hurt.

and of course i tried to explain i dont trace my art? i used photo references, a lot. sometimes ill take a photograph of myself to use as a reference too. i have a bunch of pvc pipes in my room i use when i need a ref of someone holding a staff or sword so i can make the angles better. i have a reference blog i use heavily and most of the time the outfits i draw are from stuff i see models wearing and want to put my ocs in. but i dont trace it, and that accusation hurt. the only thing i ever “trace” when i draw figures is a stick figure on a pose, IF im having trouble, like this

and then the rest of the drawing, the lines, the hair the clothes the face, whatever, i draw that free hand, its not like i sit there and trace a whole photo or drawing? and if i did im not gonna...post it online and pretend i did all this hard work? and this is all the same thing i said to this person, i admitted to doing this stick figure technique, and that i sometimes trace photographs but i use it as a mechanic to help me improve anatomy accuracy and not as a cop-out for doing my own work and ive never passed off someone else’s skills as my own like they were insinuating. i mean, is this tracing? ive seen self taught and professional artists (and artists/photographers like senshistock, where i get a lot of refs) use this or a similar stick man figure approach when trying to draw people. i never thought i was doing something deceitful , and not to mention i dont even do this with every thing i ever draw. just stuff with weird angles or if theres a specific pose i want to capture correctly. i cant tell if this criticism reminds me too much of the argument circa a few years ago that using references or photos of any sort at all was cheating, or if this is genuine criticism and its a practice i shouldnt use anymore. which i havent been doing anymore anyway.

it was so infuriating to be confronted with this and have the whole argument portrayed like i was a sham and i was duping people on purpose. “stay away from the art trade” was their exact words. it hurt a lot and it still does, and its still killing my confidence every day. ive been trying to move on from the whole thing but when someone you admire shoots you down like that, i just dont know how to keep going knowing them and other people they apparently talked to about this are looking at my work thinking im a cheat. this has been on my mind nearly every day for 3 months and its killing me.

#sorry this is so long #did they ever fix it so readmores work on mobile honest to god i dont remember #beep beep #im not trying to call this guy out or anything im like ... if i actually did something wrong then fine but #i also talked to several people who said this wasnt an issue #so if thats the case on my end and the other persons end is saying its a problem #idk who or what im supposed to listen to

Items that May become Wrecking Your gender Drive—and ways to get straight back when you look at the temper

A lady’s sexual desire are suffering from her connection background, their parents lives, and exactly how really she communicates together with her spouse, among additional factors, based on a brand new learn.

Shortage of need for sex is a type of difficulty for people, in accordance with a unique Uk learn, specially when the couples happens to be collectively with a while. The study pinpoints a few points that may be the cause in lower libido, plus the study writers promote some recommendations for exactly just exactly how women and men can reignite their unique want.

When you look at the newer research, released now in BMJ start, professionals interviewed a lot more than 11,000 Brit women and men between your many years of 1and 74, every one of who got one or more intimate lover into the year that is past. Overall, 34% associated with the girls and 1% on the guys mentioned that they’d lacked fascination with intercourse for a time period of at the very least 90 days inside the seasons. 50 % of people who forgotten need for sex furthermore mentioned these people were troubled about any of it.

Undeniable fact that daily tension generally seems to impair sexual

Some aspects are related to reduced intimate interest both for gents and ladies, the professionals observed, like bad psychological state, creating practiced non-consensual intercourse sooner or later inside their everyday lives, and achieving an STD into the year that is last. Individuals who would not think psychologically near to her partners—or which failed to usually believe it is an easy task to speak about intercourse making use of their partners—were additionally more prone to document too little curiosity about steaming within the sheets.

Additional factors had been gender-specific. People coping with somebody happened to be a lot more than two times as more likely to don’t have any need for sex in comparison to people coping with someone. Those that was in fact using their mate for over a 12 months comprise prone to document a tanked sexual interest compared to those in new relations.

Females, although not guys, had been additionally almost certainly going to need lower libido should they did not share the same bedroom likes and dislikes as their partner, or if they had children under in the household if they had had three or more partners in the last year.

To obtain our very own top health methods sent to you inbox, subscribe to the a healthier lifestyle publication

That association that is last become due to “fatigue connected with a major caregiver roll, the fact everyday concerns generally seems to hurt intimate performance in females a lot more than guys, or perhaps a change in focus of interest attendant on mentioning young children,” the writers penned inside their papers.

Sexual performance in females significantly more than boys

Surprisingly, people that has not too long ago masturbated comprise prone to report a zero need for sex, whilst the reverse was actually correct for females. This researching may mirror a propensity among girls to take into account self pleasure section of a “broader collection of intimate satisfaction,” the writers blogged, instead of a alternative for partnered gender.

The research’s findings make the situation that the issue of lowest interest that is sexual end up being answered differently for males and female, mentioned contribute writer Cynthia Graham, PhD, teacher of intimate and reproductive wellness during the institution of Southampton, in a pr release.

The conclusions may also be strongly related the present discussion over whether drug approaches—like the medication Addyi, occasionally also known as the feminine Viagra—can genuinely let female with lower sexual interest. These female might gain most from methods which also capture mental and social aspects into levels, the creaters write inside their papers.

As opposed to a alternative for partnered gender

Ultimately, the writers state, the research outcome suggest that reasonable libido can be associated with often a shortage of psychological nearness or openness by way of a lover. Ensuring both women and men bring a diverse intimate and connection education—rather than limiting intercourse ed to guidance for stopping unexpected pregnancy and various other unfavorable consequences—could assistance lovers shape most close securities and think much more comfortable talking about sensitive and painful subjects, japanese tv porn they include.

“the conclusions claim that open interaction about gender with lovers is related with a decreased odds of creating reduced interest that is sexual” Graham advised fitness via mail. “Therefore if individuals try having reduced intimate interest, this could be certainly become good starting point.”

All of our conclusions declare that available interaction about intercourse with couples

Alicia, then he will lose his temper with anyone or anything that stands between him and that marriage bed if your husband knows that you are about “to go lie down for a bit. Is not important which it really is: your children, their mother, pastor, etcetera. for the reason that minute he has got a single track notice and anyone who is certainly not your is simply in the manner. I would recommend simply not informing your until following the teenagers have been in sleep after which wonder your by having an initiation that is passionate he can really know as an initiation.

Oh my gosh this is certainly wizard! Cheers guy. I’ve been actually discovering recently about correct time. Since women are incredibly speghetti brained, me personally without a doubt, i’m before I forget it like I need to say something. But Ive located it may be at not very big period. Thank you for the note.

Occasionally wonder their with blossoms or simply a tiny surprise whenever this woman is maybe not planning on it. They shall making her feeling appreciated and suck her cliser run you. Occasionally a hug when preparing the things that are small.

We quite definitely agree with this specific any!

Perhaps even a hug whenever preparing the tiny products

What exactly would i really do whenever my partner claims “we can’t while teens tend to be conscious or home.” The youngest are 9. That’s a lengthy time and energy to waiting. It is become to the stage in which the time that is only passionate is actually as soon as we include alone wearing a resorts. What’s considerably distressing, she discovers causes as to the reasons we can’t disappear.

Oh, dear. Actually? Like maybe not when they’re at home after all? That’s simply not possible. I believe I’d ask their something similar to this:

What exactly is it that you’re scared of? A lot of people have intercourse while kids tend to be asleep inside their rooms. How come you might think that is incorrect?

They seems like their problem tend to be more a strong problem that is seated intercourse in general–that it is somehow worst. Will she see my personal publication the nice Girl’s help guide to Great Intercourse, which may offer her a various views?

Deeply sitting issue with gender in general–that it is somehow terrible

It may maybe not feel that she’s afraid of any such thing, but instead that she discovers by herself sidetracked from the children’s requires, just because they have been asleep. Possibly the sole opportunity she feels “free” adequate to participate in intercourse, occurs when she’s got real length. As though she eventually extends to grab down their “mom hat” and set on her behalf “fun” hat. We don’t indicate this wearing a way that is bad however it sorts of seems like she concerns a great deal, which can be also the key reason why she’s discovering reasons never to disappear. Occasionally worry over funds, or creating other individuals see our children, etc. will get when you look at the real method of actually removing the “mom hat,” even when she would love to take action. If this sounds like the situation, chat through their concerns together with her, and create what to let their become most at convenience. Like, if she’s focused on cash, generate spending plan together that presents her you really can afford the instantly at a resorts. Or, if she does not feel safe with making the youngsters to get a any period of time, manage small daytime schedules aside, until she’s much more more comfortable with making immediately. Whenever you lady feel we could inhale and also have fun, we’re greatly predisposed to wish to have gender.

Ask the authors: The originalist republic – Justice Gorsuch’s “A Republic, If You Can Keep It”

The following is a series of questions posed by Ronald Collins to Jane Nitze and David Feder in connection with Justice Neil Gorsuch’s “A Republic, If You Can Keep It,” co-authored by Nitze and Feder.

Jane Nitze served as a law clerk to Justice Gorsuch on both the Supreme Court and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit and to Justice Sonia Sotomayor. David Feder served as a law clerk to Justice Gorsuch on both the Supreme Court and the 10th Circuit.

Welcome Jane and David, and thank you for taking the time to participate in this question-and-answer for our readers. And congratulations to you and the justice on the publication of this thoughtful book.

* * *

Question: Of all the books written by Supreme Court justices published while they were on the bench – some 350-plus such works – this may be the first one credited to others “with” a sitting justice. Typically, such collaborations are tucked away on the acknowledgements page, so it must have been a great honor when the justice extended this rare courtesy.

How did this title-page credit and working relationship come about?

Nitze & Feder: It was a great honor, and an unexpected one at that. We did not ask the justice to put our names on the cover — he offered of his own accord. That speaks to the type of person he is. He embodies the values that he preaches in the book: kindness, generosity, friendship and more. All his clerks have felt the power of his mentorship; he lifts up the people around him.

The working relationship came about at the conclusion of each of our respective clerkships with the justice. We each deeply respect his philosophy and jurisprudence and were grateful for the opportunity to continue to work with him in assembling the book.

Question: As noted in the book, the title comes from a 1787 quote from Benjamin Franklin. Of course, Chief Justice Earl Warren also selected it as the title of a work published 47 years ago. In some important respects, Warren’s was a very different kind of book with a different take on the role of a justice and how to interpret law.

Did you ever consult or discuss the chief justice’s book while working on this project?

Nitze & Feder: We never discussed the chief justice’s book, but we think the title is apt for a judicial book because it focuses the attention where it should be in our democracy: with the people, not with the judges.

Question: In reading this book one cannot help but notice a genuine sense of the need for civic virtue. That concern is couched in terms such as “civic responsibility,” “humility,” “integrity,” “patience,” “impartiality,” “kindness” and the value of reasoned judgments, not merely in the governmental realm but, more importantly, in society as well. Do you think we will hear more from the justice on this matter, not only in his judicial opinions but perhaps also in his extrajudicial statements?

Nitze & Feder: Yes, undoubtedly. The justice has made civics and civility the focus of many of his extrajudicial speeches, both before and during his time on the Supreme Court. He believes in the great American experiment of self-governance, and often speaks of the sorts of values that unite us as Americans and that are essential to ensuring our republic survives for generations to come. So, for example, he’s teamed up with Justice Sonia Sotomayor to promote iCivics, a civics education program, and we expect such efforts to continue.

Question: Henson v. Santander Consumer USA Inc., a statutory-interpretation case concerning the meaning of “debt collector” under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, was Gorsuch’s first Supreme Court opinion – one that his former boss, Justice Anthony Kennedy, happily signed on to by way of a hand-penned “join memo.” Not surprisingly, this unanimous opinion is included in your book.

What do you see as the main strengths of this textualist opinion?

Nitze & Feder: To begin, Henson illustrates the exemplary writing that has earned the justice praise from people of all stripes, and shows his ability to turn a fairly complex statutory interpretation case into one that even a nonlawyer could understand. The justice believes it’s important that the public as well as the litigants who come to court — not just the lawyers — be able to understand why the court reaches its decision.

The opinion, moreover, does an excellent job explaining why textualism matters. What happens when you try and further a statute’s perceived purpose over its text? Well, first and foremost, as the opinion explains, you face problems of democratic legitimacy. Often enough, a compromise embodied in the text was the price of getting enough votes to secure a statute’s passage. Besides, when it comes to the sorts of hard questions that the Supreme Court gets, can’t both sides usually make a pretty good argument about what best furthers the statute’s purpose? Faced with exactly that scenario, Henson explains that following the statute’s text itself, rather than trying to divine its unexpressed purpose, was the only legitimate (as well as the most prudent) course.

Question: There are competing notions of originalism. For example, there is Justice Hugo Black’s generous application of originalism in his dissent in Adamson v. California and Justice Clarence Thomas’ more cabined understanding in his concurrence in American Legion v. American Humanist Association. And then there is Professor Raoul Burger’s version in his book, “Government by Judiciary: The Transformation of the Fourteenth Amendment,” in which Burger argued that Brown v. Board of Education was wrongly decided as a matter of original meaning. There have been divergent applications of the theory in the same case, as exemplified by Justice Antonin Scalia’s majority opinion and Justice John Paul Stevens’ dissent in District of Columbia v. Heller.

How is a jurist’s discretion limited in any meaningful way if the same theory can produce radically divergent results? How do you suppose Gorsuch would determine which precise methodology of originalism is the preferred one?

Nitze & Feder: We don’t think we can do better than Justice Gorsuch’s reply to this frequent question, from his speech “Originalism and the Constitution”:

“[L]iving constitutionalists often pursue their indeterminacy argument this way. They point to cases where originalist justices on the Supreme Court have disagreed about the Constitution’s original meaning. They say, ‘Aha! See, the promise of being able to figure out the original meaning of the Constitution is such a sham even they can’t agree.’ But what does the occasional disagreement between originalists really prove? We all know that the cases that land in the Supreme Court are the hardest ones in our legal system. So why should it surprise anyone that faithful originalists on the Court sometimes disagree on the original meaning of some of its provisions? And why should that be an indictment against the methodology?

After all, if there’s one piece of terrain that living constitutionalists do not want to pitch their battle upon, it’s determinacy. Originalism makes many of the living constitutionalists’ hard cases quite easy. Is the death penalty constitutional? Yes, the Constitution expressly mentions it multiple times. Does the Sixth Amendment require confrontation or are there a bunch of balancing tests and unenumerated exceptions we must devise? We know the answer because the text tells us. And while originalists may sometimes disagree on outcomes, they are at least constrained by the same value-neutral methodology and the same closed record of historical evidence. Come to us with arguments from text, structure, and history and we are bound to listen with care and do our best to reason through them. Allow me to reign over the country as a living constitutionalist and you have no idea how I will exercise that fickle power.”

Question: This question is directed to both of you as practicing lawyers who either litigate cases or offer advice to clients or policymakers. Do theories of judicial review and constitutional and statutory interpretation, such as originalism and textualism, actually determine how you defend or counsel a client? For example, what if a nontextualist or nonoriginalist argument, consistent with settled law, favored your client whereas a textualist or originalist argument did not?

In that context, can we speak of lawyers as “textualist” or “originalist” lawyers? Or are such methods of interpretation more (if not entirely) a concern for appellate judges rather than for practicing lawyers?

Nitze & Feder: Surely one can be a practicing lawyer, rather than a judge, and yet firmly believe that originalism and textualism are the only legitimate methods of interpretation under our Constitution and its separation of powers. What types of arguments one chooses to press depends, in our view, on the circumstances, such as whether a lawyer is pressing his or her own view in a debate or those of a client’s before a court.

Question: In a portion of a tribute (reproduced in the book) to Justice Byron White, for whom he once clerked, Gorsuch wrote: “Justice White was famous for dissenting from denials of certiorari – he authored more than two hundred of them.”

Do you think Gorsuch is of a similar mindset when it comes to issuing dissents to denials of cert?

Nitze & Feder: Like Justice White, Justice Gorsuch cares deeply about every case that comes before him. So in that respect, it’s not surprising that he takes the time to write dissents from denials of certiorari when he thinks a case is worthy of the court’s attention. It’s very much in line with how he views his role as a judge: a judge should do his job and nothing more or less than that. And that includes hearing the cases worthy of being heard, such as those in which there is a circuit split, even if it’s not a particularly “important” case in the eyes of some.

We think this also goes to one of the reasons he declined to join the cert pool. As he recently told the Wall Street Journal: “There are 8,000 people a year who want this court to hear a case. We only hear about 70. I don’t think it’s asking too much of me to spend a little bit of time looking at those and doing it in-house, in our chambers, the old-fashioned way.”

Question: In a speech he gave at Florida State University College of Law (reproduced in the book), Gorsuch stated: “Taking a risk may mean anxiety along the way, but it will make you wildly happy if it succeeds and wiser if it fails.”

Is Gorsuch a risk taker? If so, how?

Nitze & Feder: In some ways, definitely. We suppose he’s unlikely to go paragliding anytime soon, but he’s certainly taken risks in his own life and career. Many of these he talks about in speeches to young lawyers collected in the book. For example, he took time to go to England for a fellowship, rather than walk the more narrow path straight to a law firm. Then in his choice of law firm he veered to the smaller, less established shop that was started a couple years before by a few friends. It could have collapsed but he took the risk, and as he tells it, it paid off: He was thrown in the deep end and gained great experience quickly. And then once he was an established partner, he departed to go into public service — yet another risk, but one that turned out to bring great professional joy.

Question: In the chapter entitled “The Art of Judging,” Gorsuch takes issue with portrayals of jurists who rule one way or another in a particular case or class of cases. He also takes exception to portrayals of justices as “‘liking’ or ‘disliking’ this or that group of persons.” That said, there are certain controversial areas of law in which the “conservative-liberal” divide is virtually certain to manifest itself time and again, regardless of the interpretive method employed.

In such instances, aren’t such labels warranted? If not, why not?

Nitze & Feder: We don’t think so. If a judge has this or that reading of (say) the Fourth Amendment, it’s not surprising he or she would rule the same way time and again on the issue. That’s a sign of consistency to be applauded, not denigrated. But it also doesn’t mean that the judge “likes” or “dislikes” a particular individual or group of individuals that happen to be favored or not by those opinions.

Besides, these areas are actually pretty rare and aren’t the norm. As Justice Gorsuch explained in a speech, “Law’s Irony,” while he was on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit: “As you know but the legal cynic overlooks, the vast majority of disputes coming to our courts are ones in which all judges do agree on the outcome. The intense focus on the few cases where we disagree suffers from a serious selection effect problem. More than 90 percent of the decisions issued by my court are unanimous; that’s pretty typical of the federal appellate courts. Forty percent of the Supreme Court’s cases are unanimous, too, even though that court faces the toughest assignments and nine, not just three, judges have to vote in every dispute. In fact, the Supreme Court’s rate of dissent has been largely stable for the last seventy years — this despite the fact that back in 1945, eight of nine justices had been appointed by a single president and today’s sitting justices were appointed by five different presidents.”

Question: One motif in the book is Gorsuch’s concern about structural matters and how they relate to separation-of-powers issues. He voiced one such concern in the book and also in his dissent in Oil States Energy Services v. Greene’s Energy Group, in which he emphasized the need to police “the boundaries between executive and judicial functions and between the executive and legislative roles.”

What kind of structural/separation-of-powers issues most concern Gorsuch?

Nitze & Feder: We think the introduction to the book says it best:

“[A]ny reflection on our Constitution has to begin with an appreciation of its design. Of course, the Bill of Rights is vital: It promises the right to free speech, free exercise of religion, and so many other essential liberties. The Reconstruction Amendments and their promises of equal protection of the laws and due process are foundational too. But without limits on the powers of government, the promises of individual rights contained in these provisions are just that: promises. Our founders knew that the surest protections of human freedom and the rule of law come not from written assurances of liberty but from sound structures. As James Madison put it, men are not angels and the value of their promises depends on structures to enforce them.”

One of the things the justice talks about in the book is that the legal profession has focused heavily in the past few decades on the divide between the legislative and judicial branches. A renewed dedication to originalism and textualism is one of the upshots of that time and effort. But along the way we seem to have neglected devoting equal time and effort to the other two sides of what he calls the separation-of-powers triangle: the divide between the executive and judicial functions and between the executive and legislative ones. So he included a speech in the book, “‘Power Without Law’?,” that focuses on those two divides. After all, the rule of law depends on keeping all three governmental powers in their proper spheres.

Question: There is much in “A Republic, If You Can Keep It” that calls for major changes in existing law. Beyond those areas already mentioned, for example, Gorsuch warns of the “proliferation of federal criminal laws,” both statutory and regulatory. He is also concerned about excessive discovery in the civil-law context, particularly in “an age when every bit and byte of information is stored seemingly forever and is always retrievable.”

In light of all of this, would it be fair to call Gorsuch a reformer? If not, how would you characterize his calls for significant changes in our law?

Nitze & Feder: We wouldn’t apply any particular label to the justice; after all, “reformer” can mean many things to many different people. But does he think that our judicial system has its flaws, even while being the best the world has ever seen? Yes. We must have candid conversations about some of the ways in which we still fall short of our aspirations. Over-criminalization — the tendency, as he puts it in “Law’s Irony” (quoting Senator Joe Biden), to “federalize everything that walks, talks, and moves” — is something he has spoken about often. As are the areas where the system still struggles to offer affordable legal services. As he put it in the chapter “Toward Justice for All,” “I couldn’t afford my own services when I was in private practice; today’s law school graduates can’t either.”

LOADING INFORMATION ON NIGHTMARE’S VOCAL, DANCE NAM YURA...

IDOL DETAILS

STAGENAME: N/A CURRENT AGE: 25 DEBUT AGE: 23 TRAINEE SINCE AGE: 22 COMPANY: Koala T. SECONDARY SKILL: N/A

IDOL PROFILE

NICKNAME(S): N/A INSPIRATION: None other but the old man himself for raising her with an impeccable work ethic, even if he hates the line of work his only daughter is involved in. It’s managed to get her this far, and if that isn’t something, she doesn’t know what is. SPECIAL TALENTS:

Can shove her whole fist into her mouth.

Take perfectly angled selfies with her feet.

Demonstrate various taekwondo moves.

NOTABLE FACTS:

Her father is a high ranking officer of the ROK Air Force.

Particularly skilled in sports as a child: Yura received her first rank black belt at the age of 15; outside of her martial arts focus, she dabbled in track and field as well as basketball.

Graduated from the Korea National Sport University with a Physical Education degree in 2015.

Knows a couple of the well-touted members of the performance demo group, K-Tigers.

Has her motorcycle license.

IDOL GOALS

SHORT-TERM GOALS:

Increased exposure of Nightmare as a whole through their sub-units. They’re not her cup of tea, but at this point, it’s no brainer that KTM is sharpshooting in hopes that something, anything, will stick and hit bullseye. Once it does, there’ll be relief in going back to the original game plan because that’s what Yura has become comfortable with. She’s been going with the flow since debut, and has no plans of going against the current for now.

Quit sittin’ pretty, because the rest of her members are beginning to make moves into other areas, while she has nothing more but Nightmare activities on her repertoire. Insecure? Hardly, when it only guarantees more free time, but the job description says girl idol, not girl idle, and she signed up for this to do something different, and not nothing at all. Can girl group members moonlight as stuntswomen? She’s beginning to consider it more by the day lately.

LONG-TERM GOALS:

To ride out Nightmare’s name until she has nothing more but her own to rely on, then fade out into the blissful obscurity that is life away from the stage. Being an idol has never been her first, center, or last resort, not when she’d accepted the offer only as a chance to weasel her way out from a restricted, rigid sort of life for however long she can. The idea of eventually being billed as an “action star” down the road started off as a joke-to-self, but with her athletic abilities and with her idol lookalike now cushy in the Chungmuro film industry, maybe it can amount to something a little more serious than that. Safe to say though Yura hasn’t decided just yet, and if all else fails, there’s no problem in working up to finally receiving her 9th rank in taekwondo and / or marrying the model air force officer Daddy Dearest will pick out for her.

IDOL IMAGE

Knifelike. That’s a good word. The proper word. Down to the teeth of something animal, the line of her jaw, to how her gaze can cut through crowds. Precision, glint, and edge all wrapped into two syllables. Being raised by a military man did her well in that respect, discipline with the square shoulders and a straight spine. Smoke and mirrors are nonexistent in the face of the cold, cold metal. She prefers to leave that up to the other members anyway, as the oldest, and the most unconcerned.

This translates on-stage to: a piercing gaze, sharp moves, a woman unsettled rather than some soft, wicked thing. Power and aggression in each pulse that is impossible to look away from. At the same time, it’s intimidation in spades that can create a sharp divide between themselves and the ones they want to draw in. Which is why show performances and variety appearances are two vastly different rodeos. It’s during the latter, free from dark makeup and costumes, when the comments resurface ( “From that idol group-” “You look just like her, she’s beautiful-” ), which, eerie sense of impostor syndrome aside, she takes without question. For the questions that are raised her way however, Yura keeps things pointed and to the point. Nothing more, nothing less, not because she’s shy, but she knows action always speaks louder than words. So where they cease to exist, she goes above and beyond in being a doer, be it through physical stunts or her avid participation in activities ( no matter how ridiculous ) without complaint.

Off-stage, there isn’t a lot of deviation. She talks little, works more, cruises the most. Doesn’t actively seek people, but takes initiative in leaving some bite of an impression, then doesn’t do much to keep them around. Desperation, hunger, for any of these things the others strive for ( fame, attention, money, love ) feel terribly insignificant; more distractions than direct pathways to a solid destination. Coming from a girl who’s only here for a good time, and not a long one, she’s fairly content with simply seeing this to the very end.

Some noted characters quirks include: Being inactive on social media ( to the point where even their manager has to remind her to post things come promotion time ), never seen to slouch or soften up, and seemingly having an odd aversion to skirts.

IDOL HISTORY

There’s little to life but family. Correction: family is all there is to it. Appa, oppa and baby girl in their well-to-do house in a well-to-do neighborhood in Haeundae-gu, contained and without contempt in the countless ways they mean the world to each other. Ironic, what with a wide ocean view from their windows and a patriarch who’d made a living solely off of flight, but one’s scope is always small from the start. Lullabies, plucked strings, film reels, none of these are woven into Yura’s childhood. Square and center in all early memories sits a round table made of dark elm. As plates were passed along, so were lessons. Shoulders level. Hands crossed over the lap. Chin at that angle. That’s my girl.

II.

A fine line exists between control and discipline. At first, she only learns this because she has to, but soon embraces it in body, mind and spirit. For over a decade, athletics is the forefront of her focus—not dream, mind you—and with the way she pushed forward, the chances of it becoming a formidable future were high. Pressure mounted, never all at once, but just enough for her to feel it with each passing year. Apparently love and passion is supposed to be part of the picture, but all Yura ever feels at the end of each match is the hard pounding in her ears and the wet sheen of sweat at her brow as gold is pressed into her hands. Devotion is practically sewn into every nerve and muscle, but it’s all it ever is. Skin-deep. Physical.

With age, the word “beauty” remains skin-deep as well. Puberty and good genes does wonders, but the pool of pretty people is only so wide. Overlap is expected in hindsight, then, but she doesn’t expect it to include her. The first time someone tells her, Yura admits she doesn’t think the same. The second, that she’s heard that before. It only multiplies and expands from there, with a dash of sweet talk and awe, to the point where it’s deemed fact for her. And of course, there’s the staring. Little does she know that this is only prep-work for what it’s going to be like all the time.

III.

Inertia stays for as long as one allows it to. Physics allows that much. A uniform, routinely life is fine for the first ten, fifteen, and even twenty years, but somewhere the monotony of it all brings out the first swell of exhaustion. Family, school, sports, then family again; with each rotation, the impulse is harder to fight. Indifference to losses by the first year. A switch to the Phys Ed. department by her second. Trysts found a dime a dozen by her third, through people, places. Positions. An early existential crisis, or a belated attempt at teenage rebellion? Neither actually, not even close. She just wants to move differently, feel what it’s like because it’s all starting to get a little old and she craves a change of pace. It’s that simple.

Luckily for her, the first opportunity wasn’t anything less questionable but a recruiting offer from Koala.T, who’d seen her face on the street in her post-graduated state and conjured the same thought that countless others have made. Of course, making an impulsive decision is always the easy part. Explaining it later that night would be the uphill battle none of the Nams would have seen coming.

IV.

No, she’s not the best. The important thing here is that she’s not entirely the worst, either—for someone who doesn’t have a single artistically inclined bone in her body, that’s not too shabby. Having physical strength, agility, and reflexes has its positives; channeling those assets into dancing, then continuing to improve with time has her getting favorable marks during trainee evaluations eventually. Singing ( to this day ) remains passably decent—so long her voice stays well within its lower range.

It helps that she’s not here to win, not when she’s led a whole twenty-something years dedicated to the idea. It also helps there’s no sweat in being watched, criticized with every blink of an eye. She’s been there too. Despite it all being intense and laborious like trainee life is touted to be, it’s the newness of it Yura marvels at. Everything else is only a matter of adjustment.

When the concept is first introduced, it’s perhaps the most emotion anyone has seen on her face because it’s so damn pretentious. Sopretentious Yura couldn’t help the small snicker that had escaped her lips at the time, incredulous. That this won’t sell is practically written all over, plain as day; then again, she’s not really here to sell anything, really, remember? Instead, she merely bites her tongue and simply goes along with it, because the code of conduct is to be grateful for even a sliver of the spotlight at all, irregardless of one’s intentions. She didn’t expect to come to this point, and not certainly this soon. So let’s take what we can get and make something out of it, shall we?

Also HELL YES FOR CASUAL PLAYER LOVE

Im so happy to hear that Let's Go is indeed INTENTIONALLY designed to be "more casual" and everything these super anti-casual conpetitive players are complaining about was intentionalky put in there cos the developers legit think its better. THANK YOU!

i dunno man it just seems like we NEVER heae about the developers doing anything for the fans unless its enablibg competitive play or iv breeding or whatever. Like those are the only definitions of "fans" that interviewers seem to care about. And Its hard to know what the developers really think when the questions that are asked leave out a huge componant of the fanbase, yknow?

And uhh.. I mean its just good to specificially know that theyre okay with casual fans existing, like not just "its for kids" but "hey you are not bad if you are an adult who also enjoys the game for its intended appeal points and not for a huge mega complicated mathematical metagame people made up to be 'more mature'". I was really surprised to see that written interview with masuda specifically mentioning IV breeding as the place where conpetitive goes too far and makes the game not fun anymore. "Pokemon wasn't meant to be a game about hatching eggs and nothing else." Like.. Playing competitively itself is not bad, i dont wanna sound like i hate hardcore fans and im a big ol jerk. I admire the dedication because it all seems so super unattainable and mathematically magical to me! Im not into that stuff but i can admire that you have to be a damn genius to achieve all that stuff. BUT i also get what he's saying. Because it sucks when you HAVE to be a damn genius to EVEN START PLAYING! Whenever high level competitive strats become the goddamn baseline it makes competitive completely inaccessable to everyone except the most hardcore of the hardcore, and its like damn man how do you even become that if you have no way to start practising? Iv breeding is so INSANE in retrospect! Like when you think about it, its wild that people even cracked the code for how to game the system and get the highest possible randomized stats for every ridiculously minor thing. Like how the fuck did they even figure out any of this?? And then all the further madness into figuring out how to attain it and how to raise odds of shinys and hidden abilities and how they keep figuring out new ways to do it with every new system each game brings out. And then people will spend friggin LITERAL DAYS OF REAL TIME running up and down the same road in the game, hatching thousands of eggs just to get the one mathematically superior pokemon from a confluence of random events. And this is treated as fuckin REQUIRED to play the game! You can't touch competitive if you dont do it. And these bad sorts of competitive players will try and force this requirement onto other non-competitive parts of the game, and shame casual players for not doing it even though its literally not what they want to play the game for.

Seriously, man! Individual values were just designed to make individual pokemon more random, so the play experience would seem more unique to each run. It was literally invented for a "casual" reason! It just really sucks that they implimented it in a way that had an objective "best" value to get, so people ignored the whole point of "adding personality" and just wanted that one. Tho i mean at least they patched out the early issue where gender and shinyness were linked to these values so you couldnt get certain types of pokemon as the "best" version and it was even more limiting. Glad that GSC didnt have online metagame yet, lol! (Tho it makes it possible for people to more easily predict which pokenon will become Shiny when transferred from rby to gsc, which is neat.)

ANYWAY WHERE WAS I

Oh yeah! I appreciate that each generation of games lately has made it easier to see your IVs and EVs and to get them to their "best" versions, with even the FUCK YEAH feature pf being able to "fix" bad IVs on level 100 pokemon. I carried my Sneasel named Reaper since RSE and he's been completely unuseable for so long and bottlecaps fixed that! Kid me just played the game like he was my starter and i loved him. I didnt know about IVs or EVs, so i took this terribly-statted dude with a bad ability and made him fight all the wrong pokemon because he is my best friend and he needs to win every gym battle and i will buy him lemonades afterward. Also he wore the Blackglasses item forever cos i thougjt itd be cool if you could put accessories on your pokemon. So yeah i did Everything Wrong and thus all the pokemon i actually cared about were made weak and useless by my love and i had to spend 48 hours running down a stupid road to hatch and abandon 1400 new ones just to get one that was "useable". Thanks to bottlecaps, this is no more! Decade old weasel pals can be revived! Tho still it sucks that i hit level 100 before this mon's evolution came out. Alas!

BUT

Like.. Even tho now its slightly less hard to make a "perfect" pokemon its still tedious as hell and really takes you out of the moment and you have to already know beforehand that its necessary. Kids are just gonna blunder in and not even know why they keep losing due to no fault of their own. Adults are gonna also do that. Seriously this isnt a "kiddy fans vs mature fans" or "non fans versus FANS" thing, this is just "fans who have one very specific skill for memorizing a bunch of numbers and steps and enduring hours of boredom doing it vs..people who think that kinda ruins the game". And even if nintendo fully streamlined the process into sonething easy, itd still feel like an unnecessary roadblock in the way of just getting to play the damn game. We really need to add some sort of hardcore/casual or iv breeding/no iv breeding thing to league divisions, as well as the tier lists. This is why im so hyped for the current "Spooky Cup", since it actually seems like a "just for fun" multiplayer experience, and its kinda dumb that we have to rely on nintendo actually programming limitations into a tournement cos the players refuse to allow anyone to just do it normally. I did a big whoop at "no mega stones" and "everyone gets a participation prize even if they lose"! And the limitations being a random event based thing rather than a skill cap! Yay ghost types!! Reminds me of the baby pokemon only tourneys in the n64 games. That was a kind of hardcore challenge that had a bit of creativity to it!

So anyway anyway what i'm getting at...

I'm just happy that the devs are saying "yes this is a casual game with more of what casual players want, and less of those hardcore limitations" and THATS NOT MEANT TO BE A NEGATIVE!! Actual developers sitting on a couch hugging giant pikachu plushies and saying this game is for people who just want a fun game about..well, hugging pikachus! They changed the way you catch pokemon because they wanted it to be more fun. They brought back following pokemon because fun. You get all these new features for your starter because they wanted you to really feel like a kid going on their first pokemon adventure and sharing all these special moments with pikachu! They talked about how the art style was decided upon because it was the closest to "how you imagined it in your head when you played pokemon yellow", and "if it was photorealistic it just wouldnt feel right". They picked eevee for the second option because they actually paid attention to the fans and which pokemon was the second most popular and had a similar "both cute and cool" appeal with all audiences. And they put the most effort into the visuals and the cuteness and making everything just feel like a good and fun adventure that recaptures everything you wanted as a kid playing the first game.

And they just act so unapologetically HAPPY about all these parts of the game! These are their favourite parts! They're the goddamn DEVELOPERS and even they say that they prefer the story and the characters and the relaxing childlike whimsy to the concept of refining gameplay to a ridiculous hardcore perfection and throwing out everything else in pursuit of that. And man, seeing them hugging the big pika and eev plushies in EVERY PROMOTIONAL VIDEO and just enjoying playing their own game so much!! And babbling on about dressing up your pokemon!!

God its just SO GOOD to see this as a fan who's been here since the very beginnibg and is starting to feel quite self concious about being an adult fan who isnt doing it "properly". Like man the pressure of hardcore competotive being the "only right way" started even when i was just 11, like seriously THE AGE THE ACTUAL TRAINERS ARE IN THE GODDAMN GAME. Before you even hit your teens you already got stuck up older kids telling you you were too old to just enjoy a game cos you enjoyed the damn game, noooo you have to make it as unfun as possible and only derive enjoyment from defeating other people. It took me until ORAS to actually even be able to try competitive at all, i found it so overwhelming until they added other methods to EV train. And even then i still felt like the blandness of the preparation outweighed any fun of playing these "higher level" battles. Like sure maybe some people like that stuff but it felt so dissappointing after all these years of being pressured to try it...

Sometimes its just good to enjoy a game cos you legit like the world and characters. Sometimes its just really validating to see the developers talking about enjoying making those things, cos it gives you permission to be less embarrassed about it. Sometimes its good to also see them hugging a hundred dollar giant pikachu while you hug your hundred dollar giant mimikyu. Cos seriously what is the point of being an adult if youre not allowed to buy these adult sized plushies? What kid could ever afford those! Im not letting my childhood dream pass me by just because ~maturity~ when im finally able to slap a fat wad of cash on the table and yell GIVE ME THE BIGGEST CHU

I will embrace all my pure childhood love and enjoy this game of just huggins and nothing else! And i really like this concept for the series, if they continue doing Let's Go as a spinoff so we'd have a set of games appealing to each of the casual and hardcore demographics. I always feel bad complaining about hardcore when really my actual opinion on it is just "its not for me" and im actually only complaining about the rude fans who tell me im not a real fan unless i like their genre of stuff. Dude i was three years old when pokemon came out, i think ive earned my right by seniority to hug a plushie or two! So itd be awesome if hardcore doods could get their super hardcore game too, and we could just argue less cos we'd each be able to enjoy what we enjoy. Tho i mean the main series games already have a pretty clear divide between story/fun being the main game and hardcore competitive being a postgame thing. And yet we still get all this fandom fightibg over "ignore the actual 90% of the game, skip the plotline and only play competitive" apparantly being the "real" way to play it. Like man im worried that attitude is still gonna stick arpund even if they do give us separate games appealing to each side of the fandom?

EHHH WHATEVER! Im just gonna sit here in my corner of casual hugs and work on my self confidence to be able to stop feeling bad about not being someone else's idea of a "real" fan. If real fans can't have pikachu in a little hat, then that is not the life i wanna lead!

LITTLE GODDAMN HAT, MY GUY

#rambleramble #just a long vent ive had pent up since gen 4 lol #tho man people were still jerks in the competitive scene even back when it was just local link cables #just that there wasnt a massive internet community thats only really available to competitive people and excludes anyone else

Choosing A Bandage Dress: Two Ideas To Reflect On

Garments can enhance or exacerbate your body shape. In this manner you should know your figure first. Every female shape can be alluring as long as it is dressed properly. In the event that you are honored to have excellent bends, you can improve them with a bandage dress. It is a stretchy outfit that mirrors the body of the wearer when worn. Since ladies have distinctive body sizes and shapes, bandage dresses can change. As you pick yours, put the accompanying 2 thoughts into thought.

Shading, length, texture and style

Women have isolate explanations behind purchasing bandage dress. Some need to expel swells from their figures while others want the thinning impact made by these garments. To look slimmer than you truly are, be cautious with your shading decisions. Strong hues are the most suitable for those of you who want a slimmer body. There are women who just won't wear strong shading dresses and feel lovely in them. Is it true that you are one of them? For this situation pick a bandage dress that has similarly disseminated blended shading groups.

In this piece of clothing the originator changes shading at the body parts specified above to attract eyes to them. Length is another basic factor to consider while choosing a reasonable piece of clothing. To make a thin body shape, utilizing bandage dresses, evade low profile and short ones.

This Moroccan-Inspired Dish Is Surely Satisfying

Morocco, located in the northern part of Africa, is home to a highly diverse cuisine. Because the country is at the crossroads of many civilizations, Moroccan dishes have Arab, Berber, Moorish, French, Middle Eastern, Mediterranean African, Iberian and Jewish influences.

Spices like cinnamon, cumin, turmeric, pepper and paprika are extensively used in Moroccan dishes, because they have been imported to the country for thousands of years. Other popular ingredients include fresh and/or dried fruits like apricots, dates, figs and raisins, as well as nuts like pine nuts, almonds and pistachios.[i]

These Vegetables Provide Valuable Nutrients

Having a variety of vegetables in one dish, just like in this recipe, provides you with not just a mix of flavors, but more benefits too:

Broccoli: An excellent source of phytonutrient glucosinolates, flavonoids and antioxidants, broccoli is known for its chemoprotective properties that may help combat cancer. Plus, sulforaphane, a naturally occurring form of organic sulfur in broccoli, can prevent inflammation by reducing damaging reactive oxygen species by as much as 73 percent,[ii] and it may act as an immune stimulant too.[iii]

Broccoli also contains fiber that may help nourish your gut microbiome, and eventually strengthen your immune function and lower your risk for inflammatory diseases.[iv]

Tomatoes: Tomatoes are known for their high lycopene content. According to research, lycopene can lower your stroke risk and play an important role in bone health.

Cauliflower: Cauliflower is rich in natural antioxidants like vitamin C, beta-carotene, kaempferol, quercetin, rutin and cinnamic acid. These can help combat damage triggered by exposure to pollutants, chronic stress and more.

Okra: The high amounts of fiber in this green vegetable contribute to maintaining overall health of the digestive system.

Furthermore, vitamins A and K in okra can assist with improving vision health and providing flavonoid antioxidants, and enhancing bone strength, respectively.

Sweet potato: The beta-carotene in sweet potato, which is responsible for its bright color, can assist with eradicating harmful free radicals, supporting the immune system and reducing your risk for heart disease.[v]

Beta-carotene may be converted into either retinol or vitamin A by the body. The latter was shown to contribute to optimal eye health and vision.[vi]

Parsnip: Parsnip is another good fiber source, and may help lower bad cholesterol levels and diabetes risk.

It may help improve your digestive health by allowing food to move slowly through the intestines, helping prevent constipation and other common digestive disorders.

Parsnips may also aid with lowering risk for birth defects, helping with weight management and providing an immune system boost.[vii]

Ideally, purchase vegetables that fresh, organically grown and GMO-free. Farmers markets and local cooperatives are good places to look for these wholesome ingredients.

A Guide to Buying High-Quality Spices

You'll need high-quality spices for this dish to be a success. You can determine you're buying good spices by looking at these qualities:[viii]

· Color or appearance: Spices must have a uniform color. If spices have both dark and light particles, or have different colors, this may mean that they were harvested before maturity, the selection wasn’t the best or the sorting wasn’t done properly.

Good-quality spices must have a vibrant and intense color. If they look grayish or faded, it might be a sign that they have been sitting on a shelf for a long period of time. Furthermore, if you spot a lot of powder on the bottom of a package of whole spices, this can mean that these are old and have started breaking down.

· Scent: The more intense the smell, the better.

· Taste: While not all spices will taste good on their own, if you know the taste you’re looking for, you will know if you’ve found it.

Ideally, purchase whole spices and grind them yourself, not only to ensure that they retain their maximum potency and ensure fuller flavor, but also so you’ll know what you’re getting. Ground spices may contain other added ingredients such as salt, rice or flour mixed in. Furthermore, FDA regulations don’t require suppliers to list these add-ins as ingredients, and ground spices aren’t required to be free of contaminants.[ix]

Another tip is to buy small quantities at a time. From an economic standpoint, large budget packs may seem cheaper, but unless you cook in bulk, they will likely end up stale and you won’t be able to reap what they have to offer.

Don’t forget to store your spices in a cool and dry part of your kitchen. While they don’t necessarily need to be kept in the dark, remember that heat and light can break down important oils, affect the flavor and possibly degrade the antioxidants in the spices.

Finally, check the spices constantly to see if they’re still fresh. Ignore the best before dates – the easiest way to tell if a spice is still potent is by smelling it. A pleasant and pungent smell signals that it’s good to use. Avoid doing this with chili, though.[x]

Why Bone Broth Is a Known Health Booster

Homemade bone broth is a great addition to this recipe, since it adds both flavor and nutrition to the dish. Bone broth has been found to:[xi]

Provide vitamins and minerals

Boost the digestive system

Combat inflammation

Help support joint health

Promote weight loss

Enhance sleep and brain function

Bone broth is also home to nutrients that play a role in healthy bone formation, such as calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium and trace minerals. Amino acids like glycine, proline and arginine in bone broth may deliver anti-inflammatory effects too. Chondroitin sulfates, glucosamine and other compounds extracted from the boiled down cartilage, meanwhile, were proven to aid with reducing joint pain and inflammation.

A properly designed touring kayak will be more streamlined for much less drag and will sit decrease within the water so it would not get caught by side winds.

Imagine it or not, there are inflatable kayaks prepared for all the things from a use during a fishing journey to make use of throughout a run down rapids to use in the frigid waters of the Arctic Circle Prime of the line inflatable kayaks can compete with customary rigid-bodied kayaks in virtually every respect, although you'll have to be ready to pay top dollar for these high quality options.

Some inflatable kayaks are supposed to be adaptable and utilized for certain circumstances, albeit most are significantly just like their hardshell companions. There are inflatables with plenty of room for cargo and so they can monitor in addition to some arduous shell kayaks.

The sit on type mannequin is the best choice as a result of you'll be able to flip and move round simply for casting and accessing your fishing gear.

Most learners who attempt inflatable kayaks are extra comfy on the water and start having enjoyable rather more rapidly than these in hardshell kayaks.

Usually Amazon will have actually good discounts on inflatable kayaks, so sometimes the value can be decrease than it was after I checked out the product. With the soundness of an everyday kayak and all the benefits of being inflatable, in my view the NRS Pike is the best inflatable kayak for fishing.

You also needs to check out our inflatable paddle board reviews and inflatable boat reviews We hope you enjoy studying our opinions. They've decades of experience with making inflatable products and have recently come out with their K2 sequence kayak.

The inflatables with flatter bottoms are very steady in comparison with hard shelled kayaks. Sevylor stays one of the best inflatable kayak manufacturers, regarded for making probably the most specialized kayaks accessible. After a while the trailer began rusting, then there was the cost of a tag and insurance so I made a decision it wasn't value it. I offered it and purchased an inflatable kayak.

These kayaks are also lighter than plastic kayaks and aren't as pricey to restore if they occur to get broken. The Sea Eagle 330 is designed to hold up to two adults, which is why its our greatest inflatable tandem kayak decide in 2016.

The original kayaks had been made primarily of seal skin (and occasionally from the hides of different animals) stitched collectively after which stretched over a body made out of whale bones or, when it was accessible, wood. And do you have to determine to purchase an inflatable kayak, beware of a budget inflatable kayaks found at huge box shops.

But when fishing is your factor then I'd recommend looking at our fishing kayak critiques page. These kayaks are the smart and cheap alternative for anybody starting the pastime. Higher quality kayaks are found at devoted water sports activities shops, as well as prime quality outside gear stores resembling REI (though choice tends to be fairly restricted).

A rigid kayak will be easy rinsed off and cleaned while an inflatable should be folded up and packed away. Under is a really informative video on tips on how to repair your inflatable watercraft in case it does get damaged. In the meantime, a foul inflatable kayak will be lucky to last the summer season, often requiring quite a few patch jobs.

Aire and many other producers sell inflatable kayaks that perform amazingly nicely at school IV whitewater. The higher clackamas whitewater festival had many whitewater competitions for inflatable kayaks, giving out prizes for the top competitors.

In my view for the standard you get, the Sevylor Huge Basin is the best inflatable kayak for the money. You may pick up a half first rate inflatable kayak for simply over $one hundred, and in the case of sales, generally as low-cost as $eighty.

Relying on your budget we recommend going with a high quality inflatable kayak that can final for years to come.

Firstly, now we have the Intex Challanger K1 Inflatable , currently price at beneath $a hundred.

When choosing a kayak for use throughout a fishing journey or to be used throughout the course of many days, equivalent to with a tenting journey that includes river journey, you want a boat that may handle loads of weight and that provides glorious stability.

New Post has been published on Bestnewsmag

New Post has been published on https://bestnewsmag.com/right-to-education-has-done-more-harm-than-good-return-of-exams-is-just-a-one-step-towards-reform/

Right to Education has done more harm than good; return of exams is just a one step towards reform

Prakash Javadekar, the union minister for human assets development, lately advised The Instances of India: “An Imperative Advisory Board of Schooling (CABE) meeting had taken area these days wherein Training ministers of all states had been the gift. The Education ministers of 25 states demanded that there needs to be a change in the coverage to sell all students till Elegance VIII. They wanted detention in lessons V and VIII. Best 4 states said that they wanted no detention of students.”

In brief, the authorities are deliberating re-introducing assessments at a few tiers within the schooling gadget.

The Right to Education (RTE) basically makes it clear that no infant have to be held returned in Magnificence or expelled from faculty till he has finished his essential Training (i.E., up till General VIII). This becomes carried out so that you can lower the stress on college students. But at the flip aspect, this essential method that there are to be no tests and students keep moving from one Class to some other, regardless of whether or not they’re excellent sufficient for the subsequent Elegance or not. The Act also makes it clear that no toddler should be required to bypass any board exam till the final touch of basic Education. Reuters This along with other matters which might be part of the RTE have ruined the getting to know effects of colleges through the years. The RTE came into impact from 1 April 2010. As consistent with this Act every toddler between six and fourteen has the Right to free and obligatory Schooling in a neighborhood faculty.

As referred to in advance, for the reason that advent of the RTE, the gaining knowledge of consequences of children have come down dramatically. As in line with the brand new Annual Reputation of Training Record (ASER), in 2010, 53.7 percentage of Well-known V students in rural India should read Widespread II stage textual content. By using 2016, this had fallen to 47.eight percent. The fall became extra in case of presidency faculties. In 2010, it had stood at 50.7 percent and By way of 2016, this had fallen to forty-one.6 percent. Consequently, Best around two out of every 5 General V students can study Fashionable II level textual content, in rural India.

In the case of arithmetic, the consequences are even more disastrous. In 2010, 36.2 percent of Trendy V students in rural India may want to do department. This had dropped to 26 percent With the aid of 2016. In the case of presidency colleges, the parent has dropped from 33.9 percentage to 21.1 percent. Hence, Most effective round one-5th of presidency faculty students studying in Fashionable V in rural India can do department.

What this tells us is that scholars aren’t mastering what they’re anticipated to research in a given Elegance. And notwithstanding this, they may be promoted to the following Elegance, given that there are not any tests. That is something that Javadekar desires to exchange With the aid of re-introducing assessments. Indeed, that may be a precise thought.

The RTE really specifies that the instructor ought to entire the entire curriculum (i.E., the syllabus) in the specified time. This regardless of the truth whether they are knowledge matters or not.

As economist Abhijit Banerjee said at a literature competition a few years returned: “Beneath the Right to Training Act, each 12 months you’re presupposed to cool the syllabus. It doesn’t rely upon whether the kids apprehend something. Think about all the usual IV children who can’t study. they are learning Social Research and all sorts of other remarkable matters – except [that] they are able to study. they may be gaining knowledge of not anything. they’re sitting in a category looking some film in some overseas language without subtitles. Consequently, the drop-out quotes are excessive. And I’m stunned why everybody comes to school at all.”

So, at the same time as instructors are busy completing the syllabus, most college students don’t study a whole lot. In the meantime, they hold getting promoted and soon they’re totally lost on what’s happening in Class. The shortage of regular attendance, each of teachers in addition to students, has its impact. Moreover, the point of interest is on completing the syllabus. Given this, the academics concentrate on that and no longer on how lots gaining knowledge of is taking location. in the system, they come to be addressing the needs of a small portion of the Magnificence which follows what’s being taught and pass over the rest.

Subsequently, the reintroduction of assessments in Class V and sophistication VIII isn’t always going to help a great deal. By the time the student might be tested in Magnificence V, it’ll be too late. The horrific studying effects will already be in place and the examination will just keep him or her again in General V, without doing whatever about improving the studying consequences. Possibilities are he or she will be able to soon drop out.

As economist Esther Duflo places it: “getting to know is not about enrollment, the teacher-scholar ratio [or] having latrines in colleges; it’s about if we are severe approximately studying.” The question is: Are we critical about getting to know? It turns out that we aren’t. A simple problem with the RTE stays that it expects children to be ready for simple Education after they enter Fashionable I. In reality, as Duflo places it: “With the aid of the give up of Grade 1, they are speculated to be performed with analyzing…. It’s an entire delusion.”

In reality, it’s miles worth emphasizing here that when a toddler joins Popular I, in most instances, he or she typically comes from a text-scarce environment. In many cases, the dad and mom may not have long gone to high school or Handiest long gone to school for some years.

Given this, the solution to this problem is not completing the syllabus or having tests. the answer as Duflo places it’s miles to be serious approximately learning. And the way can that show-up? Banerjee made a completely thrilling factor about this a few years again whilst he said: “We did one experiment in Bihar which became with authorities faculty instructors…. the teachers have been instructed: ‘Instead of teaching as you generally educate, your process for the following six weeks is to get the kids to study a few simple talents. If they are able to read, educate them to read. If they can’t do math[s], train them to do math[s].’ On the end of six weeks, these teachers were given a small stipend. They’d additionally been given multiple days of education.”

And how did the scholars do? As Banerjee mentioned: “At the cease of six weeks, the children had closed 1/2 the distance among the pleasant performing children and the worst appearing youngsters. They’d definitely advanced quite.”

So, what became taking place right here? the lecturers did now not have to complete the syllabus in this situation because the RTE mandates. They had to teach college students what the students did no longer understand. As Banerjee put it: “within the first four years, we must prioritize the studying of primary competencies – overlook approximately getting to know the records of the united states of America, etc. You don’t know who Gandhiji changed into for the primary 4 years. Permit’s simply deal with students being able to study and do simple maths. I assume that such a system could deliver a miles higher final results.”

Therefore, to supply better mastering consequences what is wanted is a radical reorientation of the way matters are taught in schools throughout this united states. And that, as I maintain pronouncing, is less complicated stated than done.

Schooling—like democracy, free markets, freedom of the click, and “ordinary human rights” — is one of those topics whose distinctive feature is considered self-glaring. So is the prevalence of the industrially superior international locations in accomplishing them. Consequently, any package deal that arrives with such a magic labels on it mechanically qualifies for the “inexperienced channel” at our access ports. No questions requested. This uncritical recognition has critically crippled our discussion of these types of essential subjects. For example in Training maximum of our discussion facilities around literacy records and the need to have such a lot of graduates, masters, Ph.D.’s, and so many specialists — engineers, doctors, and many others.— in a given u. S . A . primarily based on the standards within the industrially superior countries. The Valuable issue of curriculum or even greater fundamental problem of the cause of Schooling usually do not entice our attention; they have got already been determined By using the “superior’ countries for us and our task is Simplest to follow in their footsteps to attain their level of progress.

Indeed they have got. in the “first” world, Schooling has to turn out to be an extension of the capitalist system. Its cause is to offer the qualified body of workers for its equipment of manufacturing and eager consumers for its products. Stated in a more polished shape, the cause of Education is to offer for the monetary prosperity of a rustic. In addition to a personal degree today the purpose of Training is a good way to earn a decent residing.

whilst earning halal residing and imparting for the financial properly being of a country are sincerely important Islamic dreams as well, the linking of Education to monetary desires is extremely unlucky. It turns the facilities of gaining knowledge of into mere vocational facilities of their outlook and spirit. It degrades Schooling and thru it the society.

To deliver domestic the pivotal But forgotten position of Schooling we want to recall that there may be an essential difference between people and animals. Instincts and bodily desires alone can deliver ants, bees, or herds of beasts collectively to live in a perfectly functioning animal society. humans do not characteristic that manner. they’re no longer confined By way of nature to observe Best the one’s methods that are important for the harmonious operation in their society. If they may be to form a possible, thriving society, they need to selected to achieve this. What drives that choice is the sharing of common desires, ideals, values and outlook on lifestyles. without a not unusual framework binding its contributors, a human society cannot continue to exist; it’ll disintegrate and be absorbed By using different societies. Further, the society should make sure that the not unusual floor will retain to maintain from technology to generation. This is the actual motive of Schooling. The Education gadget of a society produces the residents and leaders wished for the clean operation of that society, now and into the future. Its nation of fitness or sickness translates directly into the fitness or illness of the society that it is meant to serve.

these days we find many internal issues — corruption, injustice, oppression, crippling poverty — anywhere we turn in the Muslim international. If we reflect consideration on it, we may additionally realize that most of these issues are man-made. That is any other manner of announcing that they are in large part traceable, directly or not directly, to the Education machine that produced the folks who perpetuate the issues. The rulers who sell out to overseas powers and subjugate their human beings; the bureaucrats who put in force legal guidelines based totally on injustice; the generals who wage struggle against their personal people; the businessmen who take advantage of and cheat; the journalists who lie, sensationalize, and promote indecencies, they’re all educated human beings, In many instances “quite” educated people. Their Training was intended to put together them for the jobs they’re gambling in actual existence. And it has, despite the fact that in a completely surprising manner!

The trouble plagues all layers of society. Why are Muslim groups within the grip of a lot of materialism these days? What needs to we anticipate while our entire Education gadget is preaching the gospel of materialism? Why have we efficaciously relegated Islam to a small inconsequential region in our public existence? Due to the fact that is exactly in which our secular Training machine has put it. Why in our behavior in the direction of each different we see so little show of Islamic manners and morals? Due to the fact, our imported Education device is without all ethical training. Why our societies are ill? Because our Training machine is sick.

That is the real disaster of Education. Before we got into this mess With the aid of importing from the exams Colonial powers what was present day and popular, towards schooling in our societies changed into usually the method of nurturing the person.

ethical education, Arabiya, become always an inalienable a part of it. The Ustaz,(instructor), turned into not just a lecturer or mere professional, However a mentor and ethical guide. We remembered the hadith then, “No father has given a more present to his children than excellent ethical training.” [Tirmidhi]. Our Training gadget was knowledgeable By using this hadith. Our Darul-rooms still keep that tradition however the quantity of college students who bypass through their gates is minuscule compared to the secular schools.

within the U.S. And Europe, the schools have been started out With the aid of the church. Later as forces of capitalism overtook them, they molded them into their picture. ethical schooling turned into a casualty of that takeover. However, capitalism and their political economy did want humans trained to work Below these structures. So citizenship schooling changed into retained as a vital, although diminishing, the aspect of the curriculum— a faith-unfastened subset of the ethical education it displaced. Something civility we see right here is largely a result of that leftover thing. The imported versions inside the Muslim international locations, even though, had even that aspect filtered out. And the outcomes are seen.

We will resolve our trouble once we realize our mistakes. the first reason of our Schooling machine ought to be to supply certified citizens and leaders for the Islamic society. Tarbiya, actual Islamic moral education, have to be a critical a part of it. This ought to be the soul of our Schooling, no longer a ceremonial husk. All plans for enhancing our Schooling will be totally vain until they are primarily based on a complete know-how of this key truth. This calls for revamping our curricula, rewriting our textbooks, retraining our instructors, and knowing that we have to do all this ourselves. We do have wealthy records of doing it. Are we sooner or later willing to turn to our very own in-house treasures to redo Education the manner it must always have been?
