Plagiarizing an article about shoplifters? Mm hm.

A movie adaptation of We Have Always Lived in the Castle is supposed to be coming out later this year (though it is possibly stuck in development hell).

Haha, perhaps. There’s also a long tradition of fox characters in folktales dating back at least a few thousand years. I think children’s stories are influenced by that. Think Aesop and “The Fox and the Grapes.”

Comprehensive sex education is so important. I completed student teaching last year, teaching 11th and 12th graders. The school I taught in was in *California* but they had recently cut the mandatory health classes district-wide (traditionally health class is a full semester and focuses a lot on sexual health…

These kids are mostly Gen Z. Millennials are mostly adults by now.

If you work in the field of education (and not even necessarily as an educator - even in peripheral roles) they’ll usually ask you to include your GPA, number of units, transcripts, etc. in your application. School districts are often the biggest employers in many towns. I would hope having a high GPA wouldn’t be a…

Information literacy is a skill. Many people....do not have it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

Growing up, my family had two cats. Neither of them slept in our beds at night. My parents wouldn’t even let them into their bedroom because of my dad’s allergies. When I was in college my parents adopted two chihuahuas. They both slept with my sister for the first couple of years (they’re very snuggly animals). At…

I live in Davis too and I think Sacramento is fine ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Right? Counting calories (correctly) is the best way to ensure weight loss, instead of taking a stab in the dark by restricting one thing or the other.

I think part of the reason she doesn’t go into it much because Japan has an extremely complex system for disposing of waste.

Frankly, I’m not sure we can take the doctor at his word. I’m not normally a conspiracy theorist, but when the doctor goes up and lies on national television (Trump does not weigh 239 lbs), I doubt everything he says.

Yep. I was watching the doctor live and was trying to figure out if he was full of shit or not. As soon as he said the president was 239 lbs, I realized that he was lying, lying, lying. There’s no way that Trump is 239 lbs (which “conveniently,” puts Trump’s BMI in the overweight range, instead of obese, which he…

I was wondering about that too. But her Twitter handle just says “Sarah Sanders.”

I’ve realized that the general public often doesn’t know “sexual assault” can include rape. A lot of people think it only means groping or something along those lines.

I grew up only three hours away, but I’ve never been! I’ve always wanted to visit the house though.

A lot of their followers (tho certainly not all!) are teenage girls. Kids tend to be less aware/more naive.

Wait..what show is this?

How could you forget this masterpiece?
