You make soup in a big bowl. You serve it in a smaller bowl. And then you convey it, using a spoon, to your mouth. But what is the spoon? Simply a smaller bowl still

Stevens state of body being determined by his state of mind is genuinely so interesting to me. Like its clear that he grew when he was living with his dad, like a normal kid, but clearly he halted once he started living with the gems.

This is him right before he moved in

This is him right when he moved in at 8 years old.

And then he remained looking that way for SIX YEARS.

Gems dont grow. They're born the way they are. If a gem is childish and small they will remain that way for the rest of time. Change is an abstract, even taboo concept for Gems and subconsiously the Gems enforced this belief on Steven. They treated him like he would never change and he didnt.

Until Connie came along.

Steven had been surrounded by people who never expected him to change. Sure he had some human contact, his dad, Lars, Sadie, Onion, The Pizza Family, The Frymen family. But they weren't close to him. Not really. The only one that could've done anything was his dad, but he had already accepted Steven wouldn't be normal.

It was Connie that really introduced Steven to the human experience. Who introduced him to the concept of school, to reading, to learning, to growing. He gave him the expectation that he should change.

So he began to grow alongside her. Despite the fact that he was around 2 years older, he grew up with her and at the same pace. He finally had a reference, something to live up to.

He still wasnt growing naturally though. He was still the expectation of what he should look like. And while it was never shown in the show, we can see that eventually Steven did start growing naturally. That he began growing stubble, that he began caring less about a color scheme and became more and more human

Yeah thats it.

Christians love doing stuff like this and making such a person the face of their religion then turn around and get mad when they're (correctly) seen as insufferable.

Some of the same people upset a Muslim man is poised to be the mayor of New York. But sure, they give AF about supposed "religious discrimination".

Let my Black behind have thrown a fit like this and I'm sure the same crowd supporting this girl would be telling me to sit my DEI ass down.

hey so i read part of the student's essay and i want to add a few things:

here's a line from her essay:

"Women naturally want to do womanly things because God created us with those womanly desires in our hearts. The same goes for men. God created men in the image of His courage and strength, and He created women in the image of His beauty."

here's her teacher's reasoning for the grade:

“[I am] not deducting points because you have certain beliefs" but rather because the paper "does not answer the questions for this assignment, contradicts itself, heavily uses personal ideology over empirical evidence in a scientific class and is at times offensive."

the girl is a hate-filled bigot. she is a white christian girl who is now being championed by fox news and turning point usa while her professor sits on fucking forced leave. this is disgusting.

important edit: i have just learned the professor is trans. this hateful brat is actively trying to destroy a trans person's life.

Reading the feedback of the teacher as well as the co-teacher, they calmly explained their reasoning for the 0 grade in a way that repeatedly said this girl was allowed to think what she believed, but that this paper simply could not be considered a completion of the assignment.

The fact that this teacher was put on suspension for failing a student who did not even meet the assignment and went out of her way to say the girl was allowed to believe what she believed is absolutely galling. This is an educational institution, and the fact that they are even considering disciplinary action against this teacher for attempting to teach?? Appalling. Absolutely beyond parody that this is where we are in this country.

I feel the need to point out the following:

1. The teacher who has been suspended is transgender.

2. Multiple teachers in the faculty room marked the paper. Only the transgender teacher has been suspended.

3. The student in question broke this story through the incredibly transphobic organisation Turning Point USA.

4. The student's mother has been posting hideously transphobic things on right-wing social media.

This isn't just conservative anti-intellectualism. This is weaponised, targeted transphobia.

i think its also very important to note that samantha fulnecky made academic honor roll at OU last year. people keep saying how stupid she is, which based off the essay absolutely makes sense, but i think its important that more people know this was a conscious effort on her part to produce a piece of work well below the standards of the course, inserting hateful rhetoric, for the sole purpose of getting a failing grade and getting this professor fired. this is not her being ignorant or stupid, this is a specific strategy to ruin a trans womans life and gain public notoriety to launch a right wing grifting career.
