How would you feel if you had to go back in time and watch your young self receive the worst bullying of your life all over again? How can Spock’s dad stand by and watch his son endure this trauma and not intervene? Are the big expectations placed on Vulcan children healthy or harmful?
Hats off to the Royal Astronomical Society for tackling this issue. "Urgent action is needed to address an insidious and systemic #bullying problem within the world of #astronomy and #geophysics, a damning new report warns."
This is such a heartbreaking story. #SammyTeusch was a 10yo boy who endured years of relentless #bullying. For years his parents begged the school to do something—anything to put a stop to the daily torment. And for years the school did exactly nothing. Finally, this little kid couldn't take the abuse anymore, and he killed himself. The school responded by patting themselves on the back, and feigning shock & sadness about the entirely preventable death of this child.
That thing last month where the LAPD had their lawyers send a bogus DMCA takedown request to some people selling "Fuck the LAPD" t-shirts, and the t-shirt people's lawyer sent back a letter that literally just said, "LOL, no"? Well, here comes act 2: the "LOL, no" lawyers have sent a 🔥scathing🔥 letter to the other lawyers asking why they shouldn't seek attorney's fees.
