Working with young children has made it very clear to me that bead crafts are fundamental to mental health. I think if society collapsed and we had to start over again completely from scratch, humans would immediately reinvent fire, soup, and beads.

cordage before beads; you gotta have something to string the beads on, but yeah

if i had a time machine, first thing id do is obviously kill hitler. even if germanys fascism was caused by complex socioeconomic factors itd still be worth doing for the bit. then id go even further back to the early 20th century and become one of those old timey bank robbers, when they had names like ‘pretty boy floyd’ and 'baby face nelson’ and id make sure people knew me as 'sweet baby ray’ just to see how it fucks with barbeque sauce history

As someone who ran track and cross country for 4 years in high school, this always fucking mystified me the most out of all the insane shit PE had us do.

Track and field club taught all new runners how to properly warm up, stretch, pace, etc. Its a process, and doing it properly takes 15-20 minutes to make sure your body is ready so you dont hurt yourself.

PE didnt do jack shit, they just said “go run a mile” so 70% of the fucking kids sprinted flat out the first lap and basically walked the other 3. Multiple people did it in boots or tennis shoes. I’m amazed more of them didnt pull a muscle or worse in the process.

I dont know what the purpose of PE was, but it sure as shit wasnt proper exercise. And I think a lot of people suffered for that. If they spent the time teaching us about the importance of physical health, proper nutrition, how to safely stretch/exercise, etc, we would all be better off now.

Let’s be real, PE exists to shame and torture the fat kids, and for pretty much no other reason.

*Insert that thing with all the people who dread gym*

this one?

the purpose of PE, as it currently exists in the American school system, is to prepare kids to join the military. that’s not some sort of moral-panic hyperbole. that’s…pretty explicitly the purpose.

most of the prominently nightmarish features of PE, such as running the mile or doing sit-ups, originate with the Presidential Fitness Test. This test, which president Eisenhower implemented in schools in 1956, was created after a different fitness test (the Kraus-Weber test) revealed that Americans were less fit than Europeans – specifically the Swiss.

The difference between the Kraus-Weber test and the Presidential Fitness test is that the Presidential Fitness test was specifically designed to test military fitness. While the Kraus-Weber test measured total fitness by testing things like core strength and flexibility, the Presidential Fitness test doesn’t really make much sense in the context of ordinary fitness – only in the context of military fitness. Do you remember being tested on how far you could throw a softball? That test mimicked throwing grenades. And it’s pretty easy to see why Eisenhower went this direction. In 1956, the Cold War was in full swing and WWII was barely in the rear-view mirror. There was a real possibility that we would be at war with parts of super-fit Europe in the near future. Eisenhower wanted the nation’s children ready to fight in that war.

The main issue with the Presidential Fitness test is that, as pointed out above, it really doesn’t teach kids how to stay fit or incorporate physical activity in their day-to-day lives. A soldier at war might need to run a mile with no warm-up, or perform a pull-up, but for the average middle-schooler? The tests were just kind of…pointless exercises in misery. You’re only really good at the Presidential Fitness Test if you’ve been practicing the specific exercises tested. And what 12 year old child is doing pull-ups for fun and pleasure? So instead of inspiring America’s children to train themselves into a super-fit army, it just humiliated kids who didn’t perform well.

There’s been a recent push for PE classes to focus more on life-long fitness (things like actually teaching kids to warm up, exposing them to different types of physical activity, etc). Unfortunately, the Presidential Fitness test has already done its damage. It continued to be used in schools until 2013. That’s 60 years of teaching kids to associate physical activity with shame and dread. The idea of military PE classes is pretty much baked into our cultural memory, giving us all a background dread of physical activity. and guess what, eisinhower?? that’s just going to make people less likely to be physically active!! Maybe if we’re trying to emulate the fitness of the SWISS, we shouldn’t have gone with MILITARY TRAINING FOR CHILDREN!!

anyways. take some comfort in the fact that nobody will ever judge you for your mile time again. and if they try, ask to see them run a mile. directly away from you.

Linking the Maintenance Phase podcast about the Presidential Fitness Test now that the US president has decided to bring this thing back to haze a new generation of grade schoolers. I WAS athletic as a kid and I still hated this stuff! Nothing like having 30 other eight-year-olds stare at you as you fail to do a single pushup because you were never taught how to do one correctly.

Thinking about Yasha after retirement, walking through town, passing by a flower shop, stepping inside because something on a display have caught her eye.

And the shopkeeper is really nice and helpful, answering all the questions, a bubbling personality - they remind Yasha of Jester. But then they start talking about the language of flowers and Yasha gets confused. An entirely new language she didn’t even know about, the semantics of it strange, the meanings tied to colours and shapes. It’s so weird, but Yasha tries to learn, to understand. It’s hard.

The shade of this flower reminds her of Beau’s eyes but when Yasha checks the meaning, it’s all wrong. That one’s smell is nice but the feelings it’s meant to represent aren’t Yasha’s.

And then there’s the issue of one flower being described in different ways in different books. And all the other details, like the placement of a ribbon and whatnot.

It’s like trying to write that poem all over again.

So in the end, Yasha throws the books away and just goes to their garden. She picks the flowers she likes the most. The pretty ones. The nice-smelling ones. Ones Caduceus had taught her how to brew a tea out of.

“They mean: I love you,” she says as she thrusts the bouquet into Beau’s face.

And from the way Beau smiles and kisses her, Yasha knows she got it right. That’s exactly what these flowers mean.
