As a native Texan, all you need to know about social studies education in Texas is this: social studies teachers do not need to have majored or minored in history and do not need to be certified to teach history.  Literally anyone off the streets with a bachelor’s degree from the University of Phoenix can teach social…

I read something somewhere that’s like a 1-10 scale of depression/anxiety.  Like, level 1 is everything’s going pretty well and you take things as they come, etc.  And level 10 is actively suicidal.  It made me realize that I have never, not once in my life, not even on a cocktail of meds that I think are working…

Hello, we should probably be in a hospital room (or gently padded room with soft music piped in) together, because I have almost all of those. (Except for rapid weight loss. Please loan me your friend, rapid weight loss!)

Kristen Bell looks like she’s just seen a sloth.

There were good things about season 1.  Season 2 was a giant mess.

It should have the same aesthetic premise of Riverdale - set in modern times but with style references to the 1950s (a diner; restored vintage cars, etc).

I have two questions.  One, why are aliens so attracted to New Mexico?  Two, is the fact that aliens keep landing in New Mexico what is keeping us from being overrun by aliens?  Like, they get to New Mexico, they take a look around, and they’re like “nothing here for us; let’s pack up and leave.”

But they’re still scrambled and look like brain matter. :(

A french foreign exchange student taught me this in college and this is how I make both fried eggs and omelets. (I do not eat scrambled eggs because I love myself.)  My favorite is just to use herbs de provence and sprinkle with a little garlic powder, but I’ve also diced chorizo (spanish, not mexican) very finely and…

Nora Roberts would never do this shit.

This morning on the radio, a local DJ was lamenting Viola’s statement, saying that she “really learned a lot about that time” from watching The Help. (It does not need saying that the DJ is white, right?)

A former coworker shared (in all seriousness) the Beto Wants Texas To Be California thing, and I was like “but Beto is a Texan.  Cruz is not from Texas.”  Her response was “his ideas are Texan.”  Literally WUT.  Sucking up to big name donors and doing whatever they want on the Senate floor and being universally…

I kind of have a different take on this, because I was always told by my dad to shoot to kill. The way he said it was always like this: “don’t pick up a gun unless you intend to aim a gun. Don’t aim a gun at a person unless you intend to shoot that person. And don’t shoot that person unless you intend to kill that…

Thank you for ALL OF THIS. Even if this played out exactly like she said (and I just don’t buy it), then A) SHE SHOULDN’T BE A COP and B) you or I would be locked up for 15-30 because, you know, doesn’t matter if you were firing under the wrong circumstances or whatever, dead is still dead.

Well, other slogans could include: “to love;” “to tolerate;” “to stomach.”

Riiight?  Would Sam Houston have stood for this shit?!

oh man, I wish.

How can you even vote when you have hair dye probably leaking into your head right this second??

Yep!  I counted FIVE Beto signs on a 2-street stroll in my neighborhood this weekend, not counting my own.  (I realize 5 does not sound like a lot, but for my neighborhood, it is practically a blue wave.)

“So, yes, he called me names, insinuated that my wife has mental health problems and skeletons in her closet, and also called my dad a murderer. But please vote for Trump this November 8th!” - how I imagine Cruz’s phone bank stumping for Donald went.
