Thanks so much for sharing this. I'm wholly unfamiliar with HRS, but I like that it seems to address the complex realities of drug use and abuse in a way that DARE simply cannot.

I appreciate your advice. Thank you.

It does. Another former student, who is a nurse in an addiction unit, said it best when she said that most of us are only two or three moves away from a similar position. She also points out, and correctly so, that addicts deserve proper medical care in spite of what a lot of people may argue. That's the kind of…

Long post ahead. Short version: it’s been a shit week. Long version: Monday, I buried another former student. OD. I had him, his younger brother, and their younger sister in class as well, and I’ve grown close to them all, particularly the younger siblings. My heart aches for them. The world of addiction is so scary…

And I know for a fact that it’s perfect because I know repubs who give the verbal equivalent of the heel in the corner all the time.

Right. They’re the political wrestling heel, choking the “good guy” in the corner while their partner distracts the ref. When the democrat partner steps in the ring, the ref stops the action, and the heel in the corner holds up his hands in the universal “What? We didn’t do anything!” sign. The Dems need to run in the…

I’ll start by professing my love and admiration for Michelle Obama.

Don't be a dipshit. That's just a blue dog footprint that a kid once made for me. It has nothing to do with my school.

That it’s a brotherhood. The corps will support Black athletes, but they don’t give a shit about those same athletes as students. That’s just off the top of my head. There’s so much institutional racism and misogyny ingrained in the cadets. It may be different now that the college is coed, but I'd imagine that these…

Citadel grad here. So many parallels. Ask me anything.

Citadel grad here. You are correct. 

The Citadel

Rapidly googling Marc Maron. . .

Nice call.

He definitely sees himself as the keeper of the Ralph Wiley legacy. I wish Wiley’s ghost would come down and slap the taste out of whitlock’s mouth.

Unfuckable hate nerds? Call the US patent office because that's a phrase spun from pure gold

Unless real systemic and social change occurs and the police are brought to justice, it's performative and crass.

And I believe Graham has also stated as recently as 2018 that a new justice shouldn't be appointed if the primary season has already begun. 

Agreed. I don't want Woodley to merely win. I want him to fuck CC up. Covington will probably be no less insufferable, but watching him get his ass handed to him would be richly rewarding.

Teacher here. It's taken me a while, but I'm so far past the "Not all teachers" phase. Fuck these dumbasses. There's not much that some of my colleagues can do that would actually shock me.
