I did a fitness challenge when I was 22 for 3 months and I ate under 1200 calories a day—900 was my goal—and I also exercised for an hour. To no one’s surprise I lost a lot of weight! I also (1) almost crashed my car multiple times and (2) broke down into tears in front of my students and cried for thirty minutes…

Athletic students aren’t always so skinny, though. Some of the most “in shape” students I have, who don’t skip lunch, are sturdier. The same students are often the dedicated athletes who understand the importance of nutrition re: their athletic performance. I’ve heard some students say that they play sports…

Anecdotally, I would say that my teen students are, on average, skinnier than ten years ago. I know they spend a lot of time on Tik Tok, and I wonder if it’s contributed to the problem. In our school, a lot of girls skip lunch altogether or grab a rice crispy treat or something small. Some parents are on it, but most…

My guess is original gown was shelved because they wanted good PR with this.

I agree that it’s a beautiful dress, especially with the updated sleeves. The hem is a travesty. But it’s nice to see how happy the queen is while she is looking at her granddaughter. I hadn’t thought about old dresses reemerging before this (mostly because I don’t like the queen’s style), but there are a few gowns…

I liked Princess Beatrice’s vintage dress (except for the badly proportioned hem). I do wonder if she wore one of the queen’s gowns because of her family’s financial difficulty, though. On the bright side, I’ve always wanted to see the queen’s wedding tiara resurface on a younger head and I wasn’t disappointed.

While I enjoyed this movie, I do agree that it’s a movie that’s obviously made by dudes. 

Fuck that doctor. 

There was a mud pit I’d swum in many times before but this was a new season and the spring rain made the pit rise so much that the ridge became an archipelago. I knew this. And yet, I swam to one of the islands, climbed to the top, and did a cannonball off the side where the water was only 1 foot deep. Everyone…

I’ve heard about this!! Pure evil. 

His taste is not THAT good.

I grew up near that college and yes...there are great restaurants around. I met him at a local diner getting breakfast.

It’s definitely bad enough that he was there at all. Old people do show up to college parties, though. Jimmy Fallon made a mess of himself partying with Harvard undergrads. : ( I never had any illusions about Jimmy, though.

Gross! I hate this information, but I have to star it anyway because it is important. Expose every douche.

I don’t know, but I was totally mesmerized by her, too!

The only Hollywood actor I’ve ever met was Christopher McDonald back in his Shooter McGavin heyday. He was so fucking nice it was almost disappointing.

Except that this isn’t one story, this is many stories told over many years. Totally agree that your high school friend’s story is trash homophobic nonsense, though.

They almost certainly came up with another reason to fire the employee knowing full well that the employee didn’t have the financial capability to fight a legal battle. And that, even if they did, their own legal team would decimate them.

I really enjoyed this movie. It wasn’t groundbreaking, but I didn’t get distracted by my phone once while watching it. That’s rare these days.

Do you really think I live in Hamerica?
