I was on Pennsylvania Ave in front of the Trump Hotel, and during her silence a group of pro-life counter-protesters were chanting and trying to disrupt the silence. So I was watching her up there, and absorbing the resounding silence, while simultaneously hearing blurred yelling and insults. It gave me chills and was…

Yeah, it was definitely moving. I actually am feeling much more somber, reflective, and downright sad than I expected tonight, reflecting on everything discussed today. I’m a high school teacher and just rewatching the footage and the sheer terror during the shooting itself hit me hard. And then to see teenagers take…

I completely agree. While I am absolutely in favor of stricter gun control, I really do think there is a serious problem with glorification of violence in our culture. I don’t think gun control would solve the problem by itself.

Just wrote basically the same thing before I saw your comment. Yeah, the march today in DC was very affecting. It was serious, passionate, and full of anger.

I cannot deny your own experience, but I will say, the march in DC was serious, passionate, and people were angry. I didn’t see people taking selfies or indulging in social media sharing, in fact, we all stood there listening to the speakers for three hours. There were tears, moments of connection, and arguments. It…

I went to the march in DC. It was very good and I’m happy I went but it affected me more than I thought. I’m a high school teacher and I can’t stop thinking about that situation happening to my own students. When I see teenagers, I just see my students. No child should have to live through terror like these kids lived…

I mentioned this in another thread. I’m a high school teacher and my GPA definitely matters. All my employers have asked for official transcripts, and my first employer (first teaching job at 22 years old) asked to see my diploma. Didn’t bother me at all, also I had a high GPA which I worked hard for, so I was happy…

I think it depends. I’m a high school teacher and every job I’ve had asks for GPA, cares about it, and also asks for official transcripts.

My mother is a career placement advisor for the College of Engineering at the university she works at. She always advised me to include my GPA on my resume.

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…
