Climbing perch fish can live without water for six to ten days in moist conditions, and can breathe atmospheric oxygen.
I once had a student who got triggered by a person saying the word “r*pe” in class. And went on a tirade about how people are so insensitive about sexual abuse. And had to leave the classroom.
When she got back, I immediately went into damage control mode and was like “I am so sorry this happened, plz lmk how I can help to avoid triggers, give warnings, etc”
And she was like “no I’m sorry for freaking out lol. My dad molested me as a kid and whenever someone says the r word I freak out for a second then I calm down. I’ll be fine. It’s something I gotta learn to deal with. I can’t expect the whole world to adjust to my needs just because I went through a horrible thing.”
I was utterly disarmed by her response. And began wondering why we began encouraging the opposite kind of response.
i’d let my cats get away with anything like the police could come and say “ur cat robbed a bank” and i’d be like “omg🥹 by herself?? she’s so smart what a good baby”
