Oh yes, and we’re expected to give our lives for our students- anyone who dares give that a second thought is automatically a horrible person. But the fact is, I have 2 kids of my own. Am I expected to leave them motherless for that student who called me the c-word last week? Or the one who just got out of jail (for…

Are we sure it was dick pics and not just a pic of his face? Kind of hard to tell the difference.

And the girl “slapped” him, but according to him he had cuts all over his face? That’s not a slap- more like she was wearing a ring and closed fist punched him several times. So either way he’s lying- he did something shitty and got beat up by a girl, or his injuries were not nearly what he was claiming. I’m going…

Seriously, what’s with the constant references (real or not) to women attacking him!? I’ve worked in a high school (not far from west Bend, actually, with similar demographics) for 15 years and I can count on one hand the # of times we’ve had a girl hit a guy: one because the guy spread rumors that he had nudes of her…

Not likely if they live in West Bend.

I feel like the “girl” his mom was talking about was actually herself.

Thank you! I really don’t understand all the Cardi B love- she’s awful! But saying that out loud usually gets a lot of hate.

Way back when I was an undergrad I took a pre-law class (I did not end up going on to law school) and I remember the professor saying that elite ivy league law schools aren’t really all they’re cracked up to be.  He said it’s tough to get in (unless you’re the child of the wealthy elite, apparently) and the first year…

Also not valid because Jeff Bezos himself looks like a penis.

Wait, was it a Minnesota Vikings hat or an actual viking helmet with the horns?

I never got the chicken pox vaccine because I’m old (was in high school when it became a thing)- I did have it in elementary school though and some pregnancy bloodwork showed I still have antibodies.

I have a 2.5 year old and a 4 week old. I won’t allow my toddler to play with any unvaccinated kids (which won’t be so easy once she starts school) and because the baby is too young to be vaccinated, we made it clear no one can visit unless they’re up to date on all vaccinations, including the flu shot. That pissed…

He benefitted from the time in which he lived IN ADDITION TO white male privilege. 

I had to stop watching that one because it was just SO awful (the parents, not the documentary itself). They were so insanely, painfully stupid, they should have been prosecuted for child abuse.

Our house was built in 1895- while having an old house is cool, just be prepared for endless work. Even if it’s updated, there will always be something you need to do.  Taking off old wallpaper is a NIGHTMARE (that stuff was meant to never come off), but plastering is actually not bad (get this stuff called Big…

Ugghhh that sucks! I was mugged (and ended up with a broken arm and some cuts and bruises) 16 years ago this week. Such a huge hassle to replace what was taken in addition to the emotional toll- take good care of yourself and give yourself as much time as you need to process what happened! Also, I hope the pile of…

Provide access to birth control and quality education about preventing pregnancy. Provide more social support for pregnant women and parents (financially and emotionally) that would allow them to keep their children. Remove barriers to terminating pregnancies.

Yes, adoption is too difficult and expensive. HOWEVER, there is a ton of research out there that shows that taking kids away from their bio parents involuntarily, even when the bio parents are not stable people, is traumatic for the kids and leads to negative outcomes (even when the foster/adoptive parents ARE…

Been there, done that. Thinking good thoughts for you!

We were considering adoption when we were dealing with infertility, but it is such a LONG, heartbreaking, and expensive process (especially after the cost of unsuccessful infertility treatments), it wasn’t a real option for us. And we are middle class, white, well-educated- so technically the people for whom adoption…
