Same! I had no clue we were poor. I told my mom I loved when she sent me to school with a tupperware of cereal for lunch and a dime to buy milk (yes I'm old) because I felt cool. She said it was because she was poor and couldn't afford anything else for lunch. It made her happy to know that something she felt shame over was actually a fun memory for me.

That is a smart way to treat your kids to a game of some sort if you are poor.
In a world that can sometimes feel overwhelming, focusing on wholesome moments doesn’t mean ignoring the tough parts of life. Instead, it’s about choosing to see things in a more positive and constructive way.
It’s not about pretending problems don’t exist—it’s about believing that challenges can be overcome and that good things are always around the corner.

"Mansplaining done right" is oxymoronic. Mansplaining is always patronising, and all I can see here is a decent human being speaking about his feelings and experiences. And before using a word you clearly don't understand, at least try to learn how to spell it.

Psychologist Barbara Fredrickson suggests that positive emotions expand our way of thinking, making us more open to new ideas and possibilities. When we feel happy, we’re more likely to think creatively, connect with others, and find solutions to problems we might otherwise struggle with.
Simply put, a positive mindset opens doors.

AS someone who experienced English, American and briefly german public school education, American is the worst (straight up told me WWI started in 1917 and WW2 started in 1941), and it genuinely seems to believe that nothing existed before America (three teachers said the same thing). I burst their bubble when I told them that my old school was older than their entire country. But all history and education systems are lacking.

Well, we teach it started in 1939, but one could argue it started in 1936. It depends what level one sets for calling it a "world" war. Of course, one of the major British gripes was that the US turned up late for the first two, but appears to want to be really punctual for the next one.

I believe that every country in the world has concealed actions and events in its version of history. Remember the hard fact that the victors write the history books, not the defeated.
Michael Largey 10 months ago
"History is written by the winners." No, it's written by the rich.
On the flip side, negative emotions tend to limit our thinking and reactions. Think about a time you were extremely stressed—chances are, you felt trapped, unable to see beyond the immediate problem.
That’s because anxiety and fear narrow our focus, making it harder to find alternative solutions or consider different perspectives.

I already said it above, but that ignorant bit of misinformation pisses me off enough that i'll repeat it. he grocery store isn't asking for donations, the grocery store is not receiving the donations. The grocery store does not get to use the donations as a tax write off because again....they are not the ones taking in the donations. Charities, like American Red Cross, whom consistently put 90% of collections toward doing actual good, PARTNER with businesses....because the best time to get a donation out of someone, is when they already have their cards spending money. In 2022 alone, these point-of-sale charity partnerships brought in $749 million dollars in the U.S alone. How exactly would they use YOUR tax break? YOU are the one making the donation, which means you can, and should claim it as a tax write off....but almost no one ever does, because people continue to spread the idea that POS donations are some sort of scam.

Research also shows that positive emotions help us build valuable mental and emotional resources over time. People who regularly experience joy, gratitude, and love are better equipped to handle stress, setbacks, and even major life challenges. Meanwhile, negativity can drain energy, making it harder to bounce back from difficulties.

Sigh. Once again - only a minority of women actually have a 28 day period, the large majority have longer or shorter ones, often by more than 4 days. I'm sorry, but Ms Toksvig needs to relearn basic biology. The person who claimed that it's a calendar is also abysmally ignorant. A lunar month is actually 29 days and a bit, NOT 28 days. In fact, this post is a nice example of the abysmal ignorance of the natural world that is constantly being demonstrated by anthropologists.

Thank you. Not only is a 28-day cycle typical for only about 13% of women, the majority of women regularly experience fluctuation in their cycle length. "...a common variation can be that one cycle is 25 days long, followed by a cycle that is 33 days long." Source: https://helloclue.com/articles/cycle-a-z/what's-normal-menstrual-cycle-length-and-variation A 28-day calendar would be nearly useless for most women.

It can help to have the same routine when you study as you do before an exam though. If you eat chocolate before revising and then eat one before your exam, for example, it is easier for your brain to recall what you studied. My psychology teacher taught us this during our unit on memory. We then had to revise it before the exam, which was funny.
Beyond just mindset, positivity has real health benefits. Studies show that optimistic people tend to have lower rates of depression, as well as improved heart health and stronger immune systems. When we focus on the good, our bodies actually respond in a way that makes us healthier.

My mom and her parents had a deaf bulldog named Angel when she was little. Her house had wooden floors, so they would hit their heels twice to get the dog's attention. Mom said that Angel would sit by the fence at the same time every day waiting for her dad to get home from work, then follow him around for the rest of the day. Other than deafness, completely normal bulldog. Friendly, strong, slobbery.

I still don't understand why children don't learn sign language in schools and kindergartens from an early age. It would be so easy and such a great way of inclusion
Brenda 10 months ago
because most school districts can't afford to pay foreign language teachers for that age group. it's so much easier for kids to learn another language when they are young. we were lucky that my youngest had volunteer instructors before school in elementary. ASL, Spanish, Mandarin and German (I think). mine took ASL in 5th, 7th, & 9th grades. She still uses it, although she isn't fluent. . I took Spanish in 5th, 6th, 7th 9th & 11th grade (intro to Spanish, Spanish 1, & 2) took French in 12th. All I can do is count!

100% agree. We need to keep pointing these out because in many cases I don't think it's malicious or deliberate, just that people don't think about the needs of the disabled community. I know we didn't notice the problems with accessibility until our family included someone using a wheelchair.
Pencil 10 months ago
That it isn't always malicious or deliberate is ironically highlighted in the post itself. They say that ramps should be the norm. Clearly their intent is that people in wheelchairs have equal access and ramps can be used by walkers and wheelers alike. But what they seem to have overlooked is that not everyone actually CAN walk on ramps. Particularly some elderly or others with balance issues. For instance, my 98 year old father starts walking down a ramp and he's basically just falling forward grabbing the rail and desperately trying to slow himself down. Stairs have a flat even surface he can safely rest on as often as he needs. OP clearly meant well but the best answer is to make ramps AND stairs the norm.

This reminds me of the saga of my English teacher. He is a lovely person, but he rarely allowed us to type things. This year I was finally able to get an accommodation that allowed me to type longer written tests (History and English mostly). At first, while the teacher was supportive he was skeptical of logistics. By the final he allowed everyone to type if they wanted because he had been my teacher in 10th grade and he was able to see the drastic increase in the quality of my tests and he realized how much easier typed tests were to grade.

A friend of mine has a son with dyslexia, ADHD and ASD. He was (thankfully) diagnosed fairly early so had doctor's notes about the supports he needed, yet he (well, mostly she) still had to fight to be allowed to type and have someone read the questions to him during exams. Once he got the support, like you, they realised how easy it was to accommodate the supports needed.

Ramps AND stairs, though. For some people with balance issues, such as the elderly, stairs are easier because they have a flat, even surface to stop and take a rest on. My dad is 98. Going up a ramp isn't too, too bad for him but going down it's like he can't stop himself from falling forward and building up speed, you know? Stairs he can take one at a time and he doesn't feel unstable. So, yes to ramps but also keep the stairs.
Huddo's sister 10 months ago
Has he tried a wheely-walker? That way he has something stable to hold onto wherever he walks and if he falls forward he can put the breaks on to stop himself falling. They usually have a seat on them too, so he can rest as needed.

1. kids should be taught 2nd or 3rd languages (sign language, included) while their language window is open (elementary school, NOT high school -which is after it's closed). 2. the curb-cut affect: accommodations help more people than just those they are made for.

Reasons - honest explanations for your actions, why you did (or didn't) do something, because sometimes you have do do a thing differently and then must explain why to someone (usually a boss). excuses are frowned on. Reasons are normally considered/taken into account regarding your actions. a good reason is not always the best thing to have done, but it allows others to understand why you did what you did.

this is very true. Its also a fact that men earn more. Lets make equal pay for equal work a prerequisite, then women and men can both pay for what they want and need. Date or no date.

This is a movie that is on my list, but I kinda dread it.. I have seen intervjues about the characters and even that hits to hard.

It is some of the best acting i have ever seen. An overwhelming movie that I will never ever watch again.

The bowler is bowling over hand with his none dominant hand and the bats man has stepped forward ready to knock the ball for an easy 6... BUT WHAT IS THIS?!?!?! He has dropped the bat and pulled out an eldritch horror! This cricket match is definitely going to be epic!

A lot of these were people complaining about social problems. That's not wholesome, it's depressing. A "wholesome" post should stick with the nice stories about cat birthdays and little girls who invent things, not people pointing out injustices.

I find it very wholesome that we are all rediscovering our humanity together. That is what those other posts showed me.
