I love this idea, thanks! Stealing!

Oh don’t even get me started on the people who listen to TV shows or sports on public transit!

Absolutely! I encourage my students to go for walks, or at least step outside, during the hour-long lunch time, but most of them don’t. I wish there was a better way to incentivize getting them outside.

I blame Trump for making more people comfortable with this “selfish greed disguised as social Darwinism” bullshit we’ve been seeing more of

My god, that is such an obvious explanation that I’m upset with myself! I think you’re right, it’s supposed to be toward. 

A single mom teacher in our school couldn’t manage and she was encouraged to resign.

We’re supposed to ask kids at my school not to lay down on their beds while Zooming and lol I am absolutely not enforcing that. You’re doing it right over there!

This. H&M said they were forming a production company under Netflix. Not getting in front of the camera. 

Stray thoughts from a teacher. I’ve heard other parents complain about picking up homework packets and, logically, it’s odd—those complaining (on my social media) are the same parents who picked up and dropped off their kids at school every single day rather than rely on busses. I think what’s bothering us (all) is…

This is really helpful, thank you! All this happened in January, but maybe I’ll give this a shot because I’d really like to recover that money. I was on the phone with different people at the in-network hospital that did the ultrasound for hours when this happened. They argued that they technically “covered” the…

Thank you! This study really bothers me. I know a lot of men are like “she was totally into me” and then I follow up with the woman and they’re just confused. People might very well behave this way when they’re flirting...but they also behave this way when they’re not flirting.

I’m happy you for, but so sorry the house buying process has been stressful! Our market is so bad that we had to make an above-list-price offer with no contingencies. We still felt lucky that they accepted our offer—and they almost ran out the clock on the offer expiration. It was only because we already had our prior…

This wouldn’t work for everybody because of tantrums and toddler ownership issues, but my brother and SIL used to ask the kids what they wanted to eat and then order it for themselves and ask for a side plate for the kid. If you go this route, just tip as if they’d ordered a $7 kid meal or whatever and everyone wins.…

don’t abruptly end screen time to make some point

The thing about the portions seems like the most important part. What I remember from kids menus, and what I assume the Tweeter is remembering, is that they used to be filled with bland, not so healthy, and unimaginative “kids food,” like chicken nuggets, french fries, grilled cheese, mac and cheese. Except for…

oh my god. this would give me such a headache!

Does “eyes turned forward turned the implied target” make sense to you? Is this a typo that means “eyes turned forward TOWARD the implied target?” If so, how can they be both turned forward and toward the implied target if your head is tilted? I’m sorry to be thick, I still don’t get this bullet point at all! I get…

• Eyes turned forward turned the implied target

600 or keeping your legs closed?

I don’t have a good one, so I’ll just share that Jane Austen’s father was a rector and when she was young she made up marriage records in the Steventon marriage register (including her own marriage).
