My old boss told me not to pick up heavy boxes because I “needed to get pregnant someday.” ?????

I’ve been told the same thing. “You know too much about sports and it’s intimidating to men.” The closest thing to a positive response is some guy staring at you like you’re a unicorn. “Wow, you know a lot.”

When I was in elementary school in the mid-90s I got into an argument with an adult man about the Atlanta Braves pitching rotation. I can’t even remember the exact details I just remember feeling so frustrated and upset that he wouldn’t even entertain the idea that I could know what I was talking about WHEN I TOTALLY…

I’m a guidance counselor, and I really hate most of the other guidance counselors I know. It’s depressing to hear they are bad everywhere. :(

Not dumb, just gross and unnecessary.

And those same motherfuckers will shout from the rooftops how much they hate Obama.

Before I even opened this I thought to myself, "I hope he talks about the clothes hanger!!"

AND bobblehead hatred? Cool, more for me.

Haha, thanks. I teach in Baltimore, so its not even regular teaching. It's like partial teaching, partial parenting, partial counseling, partial policing. I earn every cent. Nobody is waiting in line to take my job and most people couldn't do it and wouldn't try.

YESSSSSSSSS

Yup. I'm a teacher. I wish people wouldn't be so angry about my excellent benefits and union that fights for me and instead try to get that for themselves. The "it's not fair that you don't have to be miserable like me" argument is stupid.

OMG. My dad took us to Disney World after my mom cheated.

He has that cool ultra-conservative trait of not being a dick about the one policy that might affect him or his family directly. His son is a drug addict? Let's all calm down about drug offenses then, dontcha think?

Where I work the teachers don't get to pick the novels they assign. And people at the district are obsessed (unnecessarily in my mind) with being "relevant." I think it is insulting to the children that, oh, Hunger Games and Divergent are popular, so we have to read that to get their attention.

this is beautiful.

The first amendment means you can't be prosecuted in a court of law. It doesn't mean you don't suffer the consequences of your actions, i.e. losing your job, your scholarship, your place at a university. It's not that it isn't as ironclad as people think it is, it's that it has nothing to do with a lot of things…

Stop fighting the hot, Jared. GODDAMMIT.

I thought I was going to spend 45 minutes catching up on current events but then I just watched those llamas run loose the whole time.

Baseball commissioners always had the best names.
