Brrrrrr! I’d be cold just looking at you. Everyone is different! I’m the weirdo wearing a hat in late October 🤷🏼‍♀️

I live in a colder climate and have always found these tops to be very impractical. I’m also a person that tends to get cold easily. Can’t really wear a tank under them (fall and springtime), and you def can’t wear a sweater over them, or both. They aren’t easily mix and match pieces. I have very little use for them.

“Adults so often forget, when you treat someone with respect they are 10x more likely to act like they’re worthy of respect. Too many adults base their interaction with teens on the assumption they can’t be trusted, and then you reap at you sow.”

So... I’m a teacher, so obviously no paid vacation time (lol. So broke by August). So this is tangentially related, BUT, I will tell you this... I have gone out of my way to take as few sick days as possible (only staying home if I’m throwing and going, I’m sorry !!) and not use personal days, because in my district…

Thank you for this.

Yup. I am not allowed to request supplies, but yes they do run out very frequently. Of course using individual white boards is an education trend that the admins love, so.. Yeah.

Thanks. I teach in a poor, urban schools district. We are not allowed to request supplies at all from families. We receive some supplies through the school, never enough and always low quality, at sporadic times throughout the first two months of school. I am currently quite literally broke, counting the days til my…

YES! Hands down my fav

Annnnnd reason #49095738002228485 why women and people of color can't trust cops. Thanks for reminding me my lack of trust is based in reality.

Same with the hormonal migraines. In September of 2014 my life changed when the new ob/gyn said, in response to me explaining my period headaches and coming close to tears, said “well why don’t you just take the birth control continuously?”.

There were two gynecologists at my college: one lady that scolded me and told me I was lucky I hadn’t died yet because I’d slept with so many people.

This is all extremely triggering ...this bullshit is way way more common than people would like to admit. Oh no he's my son!!!... Fuck that shit fuck sheltering predators. It's like because older brothers are BROTHERS they get extra shelter from the reality the are monsters. Everyone sucks.

Ugh white male drivers can be so fucking entitled. I get great glee by following traffic rules and then flipping them off when they get mad about it. Yes I am at a yield, stop sign, no turn on red, etc etc etc and I WILL follow traffic laws.

Thank you for the response! You pretty much reinforced my thoughts on the book as it is.

Looking for input re: The Courage to Heal.

If your period continues to be late, I wouldn't assume no pregnancy. Def try to gain access to an in office pregnancy test if you can.

Another survivor of sexual abuse by an older brother here, and thank you for posting this.

We got takeout!! Ordered as soon as we got to the hotel. We got a BLT, buffalo chicken sandwich, and jalepeno poppers mmmmmm it was so good and so fun!

I live in a neighboring city to Salem (we would live there if it weren't so damn expensive) and love to go on the weekends for restaurants and shopping. In October though? No thanks. So crowded and over the top. Otherwise, it's just a nice little city on the water, albeit a little weird. You left out the most…

Hi all!! I'm going to be in the Lake Champlain/Burlington, VT area soon. Anyone have any good tips or suggestions for the area? Outdoorsy is a favorite (hiking, mountains and whatnot), but we are pretty much open to anything. thank you!
