Sure, I never said I was done with this. I'm free to keep responding. You're the one who's pretending to be finished, and then responding three or four times to every comment I make.

I said I worked at Barnes & Noble when the trend started. That would mean I don't work there anymore. I'm actually a teacher now, maybe I can help you with the reading comprehension?

Sorry, are you pretending to be done with this again? I'm having trouble keeping track.

Nothing to do with hiding from speakers, not dedicated spaces just some one off events for students to blow off a little steam after a troubling event. Nothing unusual there. Didn't you say you were done with this?

Neat, an op/ed with absolutely no sources for their claims. Super great. Not at all specious or suspect, or literally exactly what I was talking about. Didn't you say you were done with this?

You'll note I never claimed they were therapeutic, I said they were relaxing, and that they are acknowledged as such by mental health professionals.

"You cited barnes and noble from several years ago as evidence."

Cool, here's some people with other opinions.

"The discussion I entered posed the question: why do they always mock the coloring book aspect??"

"Literally almost any activity can be a great way to relax and focus."

Nope. It's generally said to be a great way to relax and focus, similar to meditation. There's a reason mandalas and nature are among the most popular subjects. Again, mental health professionals, who you formerly held in such high esteem, have been recommending them for years. It's no stupider than anything else a…

I think you're misreading the thread. The "these people" I'm talking about are the same ones you are. Eric is the one who can't seem to identify what a safe space is.

You're just jealous you don't have a badass skull and a complete inability to drink whiskey like a human.

"Yes….for children."
