parents aren’t spending enough time exploring how to be safe and smart online with their kids.

Wasting gas is shitty, but unless you are riding your bike everywhere, never flying, and eating nothing but homegrown vegetables, you are often wasting gas. I’d say that keeping your car running so your dog stays cool is not as bad as a lot of things.

Verily.

I remember it too. I also think there was a Josie and The Pussycats single available during the same time. And just happened to find an Archies cassette tape at a local thrift store last week.

I remember too.

We lie to your husband too. Maybe smaller lies, but you all get lies.

Did anybody go look at that random guy’s twitter page?

I think they took out the zinc oxide not because of the scary chemical thing but because it’s thick and gives the skin a white cast. They just talked about lessening whitening and making it easier to apply in their statement.

Um. That song was written by Brandy Clark, Shane McAnally and Kasey Musgraves. I know this because they are credited as writers for the song. I am not sure if you are aware of this, but Kasey Musgraves is a songwriter. She writes songs both for herself and for others. That is how that works. So no need to be mad.…

Exactly—any time you have “blanket’ rules; it’s going to mess someone up.

Exactly. My partner became a student in the school where I was teaching... what were we to do, get a temporary divorce until he graduated? Silly!

I am grateful that I’m not single and trying to teach at this university. It would be so easy to meet with someone, have a great time, and then find out they are a student in…

Just curious, do you also agree that she should be subject to Title IX investigation because it was in poor taste or because you thought it condoned Ludlow’s behavior?

I think most universities already have policies in place around dating students you’re currently teaching. Where I went to graduate school, they certainly did. And I knew somebody in the program who ended up in a relationship with an undergraduate he had taught before. They disclosed it to the department head, and…

Argh, I’m risking doxxing myself, but I went to this school and one of my friends married a professor. He was never *her* professor, but he did teach in the same sub-school. It would have been ridiculous to ban their relationship (they met doing an extra curricular activity, she was over 20 when they started dating…

Great. Another way for the police to selectively arrest minorities.
