No, I get your point (and you had a good attitude about it in your OP) I’m just VERY firmly of the mind that schools should not overly dictate matters like this. I think the actual error was in the overstep of their initial stipulation, however dickish (though, hopefully, instructive) her response.

I went to a Catholic school. Often, the “rebellious” kids who flouted dress code also happened to — surprise surprise — be the poor kids from shit homes.

These days, Jesus just uses memes. Cuts out the middle man.

Nope, nope, nope. Catholic grad, here, as well, and no fucking way should a school dictate that I need to wear a dress. Choose a color if you like, that’s cool, but don’t tell me I need to show skin or wear something feminine. I’m graduating from school, not presenting myself for a gyno appt., gender is irrelevant.

Is that... a bandaid or a mouse pelt strapped on her hand??

The battle over Robin Williams’ estate is far from over.

Wait... Ryan Gosling is on the Bachelor, now?

He’s kinda crazy sexy, isn’t he?? It’s weird, the last few years I’ve been having surprising reactions when I run across old Hollywood actors my mum used to find attractive. I can suddenly see what she saw... sort of like the celeb version of when your mum nods at the dorky guy in school and says “he’s going to be a…

I’m now actually very curious about whether or not that’s true (I’d also heard that he’d fabricated that part of his backstory — he has an interesting enough life story as is!) but, either way, saying a person with a small percentage of Mongolian heritage can organically play a person from Thailand feels a bit like…

I read that as tater, and was very confused.

Really? Interesting, I thought he was fully Russian Caucasian (I know he’d mentioned minor Mongolian heritage at some point but I thought his son confessed that he’d made that part up...)

Yul Brynner would like a (sexy) word with you.

My mum had this! Ended up in the hospital for weeks. Her sisters also had to spend time in sanitariums for tuberculosis, pleurisy, and a few other old timey sounding conditions.

She does it all the time, and I finally realized why it looks so familiar: it’s the Quiverfull Courtney. I’m equally embarrassed for both of them every time I see their respective, practiced-in-a-mirror, tell-me-I’m-doing-good-Daddy, versions of WifeFace.

Although, “be my badass pet” is also an acceptable response.

Yeah, they had me at Jackal God when they first taught us Ancient Civ shite in grade school.

FIVE TIMES, people. Or more accurately FIVE VICTIMS, who knows how many times.

A few?

From the report by WSB Channel 2, it seems like Wright really wanted to be “one of the guys” with middle-schoolers, which is creepy and stunted as hell.

In this instance, I have a weird feeling that a woman is behind this campaign. Maybe it’s the PLL aspect, dunno, but there is a certain type of women who seems personally offended and aggressively dismissive when other women suggest rape and rape culture actually exists.
