Alright gotta do this before I head out, transformers I mostly know them to do one thing and that's changing voltage. You either have step up or what I've learned them for mostly in HVAC as step down as in changing 240 volts to 24 volts. There's not much you really do to fix them if they aren't working just make sure the wires coming in are actually secured on it and the lines out also. If it ain't working you replace it with an OEM and move on but I done some digging into how they work. As shown in the image you got windings shown primary and secondary and how the voltage change depend on the ratio of windings you got and the voltage coming in. Something something Faradays of induction and you got EMF, look I'm not gonna pretend I fully understand it all yet but I'm trying. I know this component is real important since while the main things in HVAC require 240 volts a lot of safe guards and other components need just 24 volt to get working such as contactors and switches to get the power through. Anyway keep looking out on this mega as I add more through out the week as I try to educate myself on it by reading.

familial dynamics criticism discussion
really sincere conversations happening now (elsewhere) talking about being critical of the nuclear family unit, and the dissolution of that idea.
More interestingly to me is the critique of the "found family" trope. Specifically, trying to re-create the nuclear family dynamics within the found family. Such as : seeking a parental relationship / assigning somebody to be your parent. I think this also extends to sibling dynamics as well. (It should also be pointed out that I don't have a problem with people who give a shit about each other, coming together to help each other as a "found family" in terms that don't have a power dynamic.)
I can say that this was also brought up to me by an older non-binary person, who said that they felt it was ageist for people to automatically assign them as their parental figure and demand emotional labor from them.

I definitely understand where its gross to assign someone as a parental figure and expect them do emotional labor and stuff- something I have specifically had to try and avoid doing even though I do needBut I guess I don't understand what the issue with sibling dynamics is in this context? Could you expand on that one a bit more?

like an older sibling / younger sibling dynamic
an example would be a sibling forced into a caretaker role, when they are not really equipped / prepared (or desire) such a role
and then the lines can be blurred between parent / sibling who also says they are your "best friend"
that's just an example off the top of my head
