Yes! I have so many conflicting feelings about this situation, but that is something I keep coming back to. This crime was heinous, yes. He did it as a child and has been in therapy. If there’s some type of character clause, what’s acceptable and what’s not?

I taught a student who molested some younger kids. My thought process was similar—he was a kid, too. Also, this might not apply to Heimlich, but my student was also molested as young child. Where’s the line in the sand in between, “No, you’re forever punished” and “You just need help”?

What I see a lot of conservatives—my whole family, neighbors, high school friends—is a complete inability to see beyond their own circumstances. They just seem unable to put themselves “in someone else’s shoes” or even think that someone else’s life (and opportunities, resources, education, family history) may be…

I teach high school. Fanny packs have BEEN back.

From the headline, my first thought was,

And it was an old lady! Sheesh! I mean, It’s not okay to body shame anybody but what’s a senior citizen supposed to look like, exactly?

*stands up at podium, clears throat*

I’m Cueto coming in 5 minutes late acting like I’ve been there the whole time.

1. Why does everyone keep highlighting Bryce’s punch but not Strickland’s?

This fight is like art. So many things to look at: the teammates slamming into each other, Bumgarner sadly walking away, Cueto coming in 5 minutes late, Posey reaction (or lack of), Strickland losing his fucking mind, Bryce’s glorious hair.

he has way more to lose than Hunter Strickland (who will never be a star).

Yeah, I don’t care either way...I’m an Orioles fan. It was just funny to me to compare what the Nats feed was saying compared to my friends listening to the Giants feed. The Nats announcers also decided that the crowd was very quiet and therefore approved of Bryce Harper charging the mound.

I’m an Orioles fan and was just watching the Nats game for fun. I don’t usually because I fucking hate one of their announcers (Wtf type of name is FP). I’ve never seen a catcher stay back like that either but maybe he knew Strickland was a COMPLETE FUCKING PSYCHO and could handle himself (which he did.) Strickland…

It is really not fair how pretty Bryce Harper’s hair always is.

The Nats announcers said they have a history from playoffs. They also noticed the lack of Posey intervention. “That tells you all you need to know”

The Nats announcers have decided that since Buster Posey didn’t intervene soon enough it means that no one on the Giants likes Strickland.

And so, the capital city in the state south of the Mason-Dixon

Back when I tried to understand things, I checked out all my redneck family’s opinions. Apparently, regardless of who he is, God sent him to save us from Obama. God sends imperfect people so we just have to pray that he will do God’s will.

They’re never *alone*. A lot of my teen years was laying get floor of my room getting emotional to some music. I don’t think kids now ever just *be.* there’s always an IG or tweet or text to look at. It makes me sad.

I think we should be something different, tbh. I’m 35 and my brother is 15 years younger...and we’re the same? He doesn’t know a time when phones weren’t everywhere.
