I think this is a brilliant idea (and I’m assuming the women are all thoroughly educated and doing this willingly). How many of these women are in prison for offenses that are directly related to their poverty? If they can now avoid an unwanted pregnancy for 5 years, perhaps that will be enough to get them on their…

Why are either of these events gendered?

Holy shit. This woman was terrorized by this man and his son...the father admits to it...and the town still doesn’t believe her?

“Smooth like a boiled carrot” will haunt me....thanks, John Oliver.

My state has instituted a new fingerprinting requirement for teachers. Apparently I must go and pay $65 to be fingerprinted before 2017 to keep my license.

I need to follow The Rock on Instagram. Every time I see a repost of his pics, I fall a tiny bit more in love.

But....why?

I’m basically going to be in a state of jet lag/hangover for the next two weeks as my body struggles in vain to deal with the sun setting when I walk out of work.

As I tell my students “People are hanged, pictures are hung.”

Haha they all smelled the same and I thought they smelled soooo good. Before smartphones became ubiquitous, just opening a magazine in the doctor’s office would give me terrible middle/high school flashbacks because of the perfume samples. Thank god for the iPhone. It's been years since I've felt that.

Totally would pull perfume ads and put them in my gym locker and backpack so they’d smell good. They never smelled good.

This was this week’s dinner: sautéed tofu, kale, and chickpeas with spaghetti squash. Lots of garlic, salt, pepper, and a dash of poultry seasoning weird...yet tasty

When introducing The Handmaid’s Tale to my juniors, I ask them to watch Fox News for a couple nights as homework.

That dog is a BOSS. I'd only use his photo bombed photos. This might be why I will never marry.

At one point, due to the whaling industry, NB had more millionaires than anywhere else in America.

I'm kinda jealous: I love creepy things and waitress right down the street from the Borden house. I need to get my act together and check the place out!

Wow. The idea of a married high schooler makes me sad and disgusted. I teach high school ànd even my juniors are still babies. They'll readily admit that they have little idea what to do for their futures, how to go about picking colleges and jobs....they shouldn't be trusted choosing a husband or wife...because they…

That bemused smile. The composure. The cold answers. So brilliant.

THIS! I fucking hate anti-abortion assholes who claim to be pro life and then support the death penalty and reject social welfare programs that support life. I'm a lapsed Catholic, but at least the Church is consistent in their pro-life/dignity of life dogma.

But every once in a while we would get people coming in and asking if we sold the separate ingredients for them to take home and cook themselves. I had no idea this was a thing, but people swore that this was somewhat common on the East Coast
