“Not use collective punishment as it is not fair on the many people who did nothing and under the 1949 Geneva Conventions it is a war crime.”

Wait it’s a fucking WAR CRIME?!?! I mean that might not be 100% accurate but now I gotta know

holy crap, collective punishment is a war crime.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourth_Geneva_Convention#Collective_punishments

and according to the exact legal phrasing-

No protected person may be punished for an offense he or she has not personally committed. Collective penalties and likewise all measures of intimidation or of terrorism are prohibited.

This technically counts, as students are civilians, and thus considered a “protected person”. So yes, collective classroom punishment breaks the fourth Geneva Convention, and she should be rewarded for standing up for human rights and doing her research.

Well, I mean, Garfield does care

Anyone who’s ever owned a cat knows that they have thier own ways to show they love you

An often overlooked thing about Garfield is between the snark and schemes, he’s really a loving kitty

I guess these aren’t as memorable as the wackier strips

But Jon can always count on Garfield to make him smile when it really matters

And Garfield knows that Jon cares

I swear, my cat is the same way, the below picture is an accurate portrait of how it is to have a dog and cat the same time.

Theory accepted

wholesome

It’s rare to see Garfield content on Tumblr that isn’t “Jon is a heartless monster” or “Garfield is some eldritch horror”

Some Thoughts about the “Big Picture”: A Metaphor for Life

Logan: Logan seems to want very much to understand the painting in Thomas’ living room. In fact, he’s asked about it seven times. It seems to frustrate him that it is something he may never fully understand. Consider this as Logan’s approach to life: desperate to understand, even though some things may be beyond him.

Roman: Does not acknowledge the painting at all. Consider how Logan accuses Roman of ignoring reality by fantasizing and dreaming up alternative worlds.

Patton: Appreciates the painting without questions. He seems quite happy just to be looking at it. It’s his transition into talking about making others happy. Patton sees the world in the same way: as a piece of beautiful art that can be appreciated without understanding all of it.

Virgil: Virgil is drawn to the painting by Patton (emotion/morality) and says that he finds the “big picture” calming. Coping with anxiety often means asking “what’s the worst that could happen in the big picture?” or “will this be important to me in five years?” Virgil can be helped by looking at the big picture of life and not focusing so much on the little things.
