worked in an underserved K-6 school as a school librarian. The only new books we got all year-for a school with 800 kids and some of the lowest reading scores in the state, were purchased by me. The principal refused to spend the money and even confiscated money I made from the scholastic book fair-which was meant to…

Caitlyn Jenner says she was denied service

No they are not forced to, they do it because they are good people.

This makes me sick.... At the same time my school district has been out of copy paper since before Thanksgiving so we’re forced to make our own copies for over 100 students. Every day.

I don’t know any teachers who itemize and I know a LOT of teachers.

“They’re not forced to”? That’s your response to this? Holy shit, no wonder your country is so fucked up.

Even if everything you said were true, you are still asking teachers to spend their personal after tax money in July or August (when they stock up before a school year) and not get money back until April or June after tax returns come back.

Spend some time in an underresourced public school and you’ll change your tune. I spent $100s of dollars on classroom supplies during the mere 6 months I was substitute teaching. Most of my classrooms were special ed, and went through sensory items like Play-Doh faster than the school would ever supply it. I also kept…

It depends on the state- also the tax write off (1) often isn’t more than the standard deduction and (2) isn’t anywhere close to $400. And it depends on the school- more affluent schools give teachers more funds to stock their classrooms and are less likely to run out of things like printer paper or paper towels.…

You’re funny. 

Just listened to the behind the bastards podcast about the duggers. They are fucking vile vile cultists

From an InTouch article about The Duggars:

Nope. I voted for her three times. All my friends and I who worked for her are outraged at her betrayal. She is deeply unpopular in AZ.

Popeye’s chicken sandwich is better

I don’t want to see The Bodyguard with Lizzo playing Whitney Houston. Much rather see it with Lizzo playing Lizzo.

And Chris *checks headline* Evans as the hunky movie star that needs her to keep away obsessed fans?

Lizzo as the bodyguard and I’m in.

The worst part is seeing identity boiled down to body parts. Well before I came out as nonbinary, I really chafed at that: I appreciate my body and how it is put together, I am grateful for it, but I’m not who I am “because” I have that. When I thought of myself as a woman, I wasn’t a woman because I had a uterus. How…

The TERF argument is now literally driving me up the wall. I was born a biological woman, and have always felt like a woman. When someone else says they, too, are a woman, it doesn’t harm me in the fucking least. “Being a woman” isn’t like a well with a limited quantity for everyone, where someone taking some means…
