Growing up my family always said we had a Cherokee ancestor and I just rolled with it. When I was in college I found out that this was a huge trope that everyone says, and I find it so weird!!!!! Like how did this start and why is it so widespread?!

So true. My current school is generally pretty awesome, but my last school’s lounge was an utter nightmare. I remember talking to a fellow colleague who said that her first year she could not go into the lounge at all because her anxiety would just ramp up immediately listening to this one group of teachers mock…

I’m DYING to watch RHOD but I can’t stream it anywhere! Its the only RH not on Hulu!!!

I like Bumble, but like most dating apps, I feel like it does require a lot of time, energy, and work to get a few actual decent/potential matches.

I know. It also really helps when a guy mentions something about Trump or MAGA. One time I came across a profile that said “swipe the way you vote!” so I appreciated his transparency and immediately swiped left.

I like this idea.

I think they’re so stupid and a complete slap in the face to all the progress we’ve made. Like they make party decorations that say “bows or baseballs?” its sooooo freaking gender normative, conventional BS.

I was hoping this would be an article on the popularity of gender parties, which I find to be very odd, obnoxious, and a subconscious backlash to the recent mainstreaming of transgender issues and the recent and ongoing conversation regarding the spectrum of gender overall.

University of Miami! They were in a grad program called Community and Social Change (mine was Education and Social Change). They did a year of classes and then applied for the Peace Corps in order to graduate with their Master’s. It was a cool way to do the PC I think.

Yeah, let’s arm all teachers!

Thank you for writing this. The original post left a bad taste in my mouth. Since when do we hate on the Peace Corps? For one of my classes in grad school, it was combined with another program in which the cohort did classes and then joined the PC. All the people I met were very aware of their role in the process and…

My biggest fear is meeting the love of my life and he’s allergic to cats. I made a commitment to this cat when I adopted her and I refuse to give her up. So I guess I’ll just continue asking about allergies on first dates! Hahaha.

I started online dating and had my first date and it went well! After a lot of deadend relationships and being single for a while, it feels great to get out there and meet people.

“Just stay away from “they’re jealous of you” and that line of thing. It’s not true (or very rarely true) and doesn’t help matters.”

I am a meal prep goddess. I make a large dish of something on Sunday and then eat it for the rest of the week. Today I’ll be making a pork loin with brown sugar glazes in my Crock Pot. This works for me because I am single so its just one mouth to feed, and I eat relatively small portions. I love looking up new…

One of my favorite random questions to ask is “what is the most famous book you’ve never read?” There are a lot of famous books I haven’t read! My usual answer is Moby Dick.

I’m also a high school teacher. My last school did lockdown drills, in which we turn off the lights, lock the doors, and hide the kids from view through the window. My new/current school follows the ALICE method, so we do drills every few months. There are options - we have a messaging system that all teachers can use…

Actually, shooting a lock does not ruin its effectiveness or unlock it.

I love this show so I loved the episode, but I did find it to be a bit uneven. Throwing in a murder plotline feels out of its universe, even though Rebecca Bunch has done plenty of crazy things. Alas, I’ll be sticking with it to see where it goes! I know it hasn’t been renewed yet but I remember hearing that Bunch had…

As a singleton, I am surprised at how annoyed I am about this year’s V-Day. I usually don’t care, but I also feel like last year I didn’t see soooooo many couples posts. I don’t know, the holiday itself doesn’t bother me too much but as usual, social media ruins everything.
