Teacher here...many schools have changed STEM to STEAM to include art because the arts are important to cognitive development and learning just as science, technology, engineering, and mathematics are.

‘Honey, can you come in here and give me your opinion on which sweater looks best for a perp walk? I want it to say ‘OLD MAN, NOT RAPIST, PUDDING POP.’

I say there are men who are objectively beautiful but not erotically stimulating.

As a teacher, I’m not going to say there aren’t asshole teachers out there, but true bullying can be REALLY FUCKING HARD to recognize from our point of view. We don’t know the backstory, we’re usually overwhelmed with the academic side of things to the point where we feel like we don’t have time for the social side…

I am always SO paranoid about this when my students have a joke that I don’t understand. Like, is it just stupid middle-school humor, or are they being cruel and I just don’t know the whole story?

Best Barbie ever: Feeling Fun Barbie! 1988. I loved her, wanted to BE her. That hair! The supercool outfit!

check it. Almost 20 years of Barbie Keepsake ornaments (not pictured are the last few years), one from my mother for every Christmas I’ve been alive. I’ve got the full collection now, from 1990-2015 when they made the last one.
