Apparently all of the 2nd graders got it, which assuming there is more than one class means more than one teacher was responsible.

I am *very* interested in knowing the demographics of 2nd grade teachers at this school.

My thoughts, exactly.

That makes more sense (the article I clicked through to didn’t say that). It looks like she had five outstanding warrants and a history of heroin addiction?

Which, assuming all is true (and these warrants aren’t a decade old or anything) it does make sense to detain her. The jail was obviously incredibly unethical in…

My cousin ended up in jail for driving on a revoked license (she was caught like... 20 times?). She was driving a ton and for completely unnecessary reasons (party, go to the mall, etc- she has public bus service and family who will drive her to work) and she’s an *incredibly bad driver*, but there’s also aspects of…

We apparently live in bizarro world where people end up in jail with 10k bonds for *driving on a suspended license*.

Seriously, she had no business being there. Impound the car if she’s a dangerous driver, stick an ankle monitor on her, whatever, but jail? FFS. What a waste of money.

Someone could have said this (and probably did) about both my grandmother (unmarried and pregnant at 13) and my mother (ran away to California with her drug dealer at 12) yet somehow I’m alive, so.

He’s holding the cat and not dead so it’s not truly feral. It may be partly feral or stray, though.

Because it’s a $100 doll and you’re going to fix it when it gets broken rather than trash it?

Not sure the specific details, I just know generally what she’s talking about.

It’s how they mount the head to the body. They use to use a string, now it’s a zip tie. It’s about the quality of the build.

They suffer from a lack of empathy and curiosity. Intelligence has nothing to do with it.

They require a nebulous belief in a diety or religion. Scouts and leaders can lie, and certainly many do (what percent of people sitting in pews REALLY believe, anyway?), but many refuse to.

If you had asked me ten years ago, who would the scouts accept first, atheist/agnostics or LGBT folks... I probably wouldn’t…

I am so glad they did this. Somehow they’re managing to be dragged into the 21st century.

The main characters almost get deported, too. And would have, had it not been for a violent protest/escape plan that threatened the lives of numerous people.

Regardless of what we should or shouldn’t do, the stigma is there. It exists. If you have a mental illness, and it is publicly known, you will be discriminated against.

I have a mental health history. I’m “functional” right now, but I haven’t always been. My employer provides mental health treatment and disability…

I have given up on being ungreyed. I’ve had comments with over a thousand stars and I’m STILL fricking grey. I changed my username to point out the fact that I’m grey and it’s not easy and look, Kermit! and I’m STILL FRICKING GREY.

Seriously, I think I’m even out of the greys on jalopnik and I drive a frickin…

The goal is to destabilize the US government, so now that the idiot is in power the next stage is going after him.

By that definition, gametes have a sex as do tumor cells.

We usually define sex by genetalia and secondary sexual characteristics, not just by chromosomes. Actually, it’s sort of rare that we define it by chromosomes, since most people aren’t karyotyped...

Find out if you can send origami paper (if you can, call the mail room), and if you can I would consider sending her an origami book and some origami paper. I haven’t been in jail or prison, but I’ve been *other places* and having something to create that is tangible makes a huge difference.

If people didn’t do that how would Lifetime still exist?
