I’m a teacher, and it’s probably just me at the end of the day and end of October but my thought when I saw that was “Some real shit must have gone for her to leave that job and go back to teaching. IN FLORIDA.”

I’m kind of looking forward to voting on election day. I’m going to walk down there early (polling place is two blocks from my house), get my “I voted” sticker and go get a margarita, since I have the day off.

the SNL sketch this week captured it perfectly.

When my boyfriend watched The Hunger Games for the first time, his reaction to Gale was “Do you think he’s so sad all the time because he’s not as attractive as his brother, Thor?”

Hi! I actually grew up on the Eastern Shore of Mobile Bay. So the deal is- Mobile is conservative but not super conservative. Closer to New Orleans than Mississippi level.

Trivial Pursuit for my family.

I don’t know the answer- but I love your reasoning for it.

But it is though. Which is why countries with better school systems than America’s devote resources to putting their top college graduates into teaching positions- they recognize that it’s a difficult job and should be paid well and done by people who are exceptionally qualified.

I teach high school, which is a whole different beast, but people who teach really little ones are incredible. I mean, I prep five lessons a week, and then teach each one three times in a row. And my students, while certainly not adults, are capable of taking themselves to the bathroom and self-assessing their…

I mean, even if you’re just talking politically and not being-a-decent-human-being, nothing will lose an election faster than insulting teachers.

Unrelated, but I’m sitting here watching my students take a test so I’ll fill the time however I can, my family never did the elf on a shelf thing. Then, my mom got remarried and my stepdad moved in all of his stuff, including a retro, creepy-as-fuck elf on the shelf. Every year when I go home to visit for Christmas,…

To this day, whenever anyone starts a phrase with “binders full of” my mind immediately fills in “women.”

I think it’s more to do with picking up a student on an official visit. Parents don’t want to worry that a parish official is going to start a relationship with their teenager while visiting their school for a photo op.

Also if we all ate, like, 1/3 less sugar.

Her statement is so contradictory- Taylor tears women down- she’s a terrible feminist!

I would imagine his running for president also put all of his business/charities under a microscope. No one’s got time go digging through all this shit unless you have a reason to.

You’re right. Fuck her for getting the best people available to handle her divorce. She’s clearly a garbage person.

I dunno, if I lived in a town that thought my inventor father was crazy and I was a freak because I was pretty but *gasp* liked to read then I’d probably be pretty resentful too.
