Well, and most teachers haven’t been trained in how to teach effectively online. Most of them have never had to do it before, and it’s very different! Plus, I don’t even know how you could design effective online instruction for lower elementary.

I started watching it for the same reasons most of viewers probably did (bored, horny) but had to stop after the guy forces a flight attendant to give him a blowjob. The first write up I read implies it’s just a hot power exchange sort of thing, but it’s really, really not. The attendant character does not seem to be…

I stumbled across it for the first time in the early 2000's when I was housesitting for my parents and caught it just as the ship capsized. For all its schmaltz, I was absolutely horrified and captivated by the image of the woman falling through the stained glass.

Unless you’re visually imparied and/or have issues processing written language, in which case, they’re essential.

Midsommar is the only 2+ hr movie I’ve seen in ages where I didn’t pause it an hour in. It’s slow for a good chunk, but that’s actually in service of telling the  story and the cinematography does a wonderful job keeping your eyes engaged while maintaining its sedate pace.

On top of being a great comic, he also knows knew how to use a proper f’ng em-dash!

Well, it looks like I’m getting a Christopher Guest marathon for my birthday!

Yeah, the myth of “Dad as breadwinner, Mom as full-time parent” as ubiquitous and “right” is not historically a common thing throughout history, even if you limit it to modern western (i.e. White) history. It’s a specific consequence of post-WII life for largely White middle class America and there/are plenty of…

If Bill Bailey turns out to be a fucknut, I will be sooooooo sad. (I’d also be sad to find that out about Grieg, but please don't let them have Bill Bailey.)

Is this a Chuck Tingle? Because those things are less erotica and more art, imo. (Also, it seems author Chuck is a real stand up guy.)

In addition to what others have said, The Cat in the Hat character designs also take all kinds of tropes from blackface.

Thirding bullet journals. It’s very flexible and easy to play with different ways to adapt to what you need and like. I started with the “original” system for a few weeks or so and then started looking around online at other people’s layouts. It took me a few months to play around find and adapt one that worked for me…

Dude, most restaurants in my area (the outskirts of a major metro) don’t even have websites that have been updated in the past ten years. They’re not going to figure out how to get menus online.

HA! I literally said, “OMG, he’s Rickrolling the parade!” so almost the same thing

My best friend is a therapist, and honestly, a lot of our conversations is him identifying his pathologies and being like, “I know these thought patterns and behaviors are not good and why but I keep doing it.” Therapists: they’re like us.

I think it’s a realistic possibility that someone from Southie/Dorchester/whichever working class neighborhood Carla’s from would instantly take a dislike to a super-femme with intellectual affectations (which is a really smart bit of character building that makes Diane work as a character who would end up in a place…

The character of Rebecca as written is pretty awful and it’s a testament to Kirstie Alley that she made her tolerable. Shame she’s a Scientologist.

Well, and white face is not the same thing at all as black face because of the power dynamics.

She (or her publicist) seems to finally be learning. She’s done a lot of problematic stuff, which is a shame because I generally enjoy her work. I hope she continues to learn.

No but it stops Black people and other people of color from stumbling across racist shit when they’re just trying to watch something funny. Removing a few episodes from a very popular sitcom is not the end of the world nor is it some great historical erasure.
