You cannot allow that to challenge your own self-image or self-worth. I’ve lost several friends to suicide, and being a chronic depressive with suicidal tendencies, it was hard for me to deal with their deaths; I understood what they went through but somehow felt like I could’ve made a difference. It took me a while…

Multiple people I know have gone through their spouses murdering their children

no point - dumbass

She is not a “weather-caster” or weather girl, she’s a meteorologist - they have degrees in studying weather patterns and predicting the weather.

I have this dress in red and, I must say, I'm extremely pleased that I might've shaking people to their very core.

Hey look, my Mother finally worked out how to use email.

Saying you’re not trying to be unkind then pointing out “boob fat” is like saying “No offense, but you look disgusting”.

So who’s real and who’s just a waxen mold with expertly sculpted nipples?

People who work with teenagers should not think that they’re the worst. I’m a middle school teacher, and I understand that many of them are having a terrible time, but I’d rather be with them than two-year-olds, who are the actual worst. Teenagers are HILARIOUS and a fun challenge.

I love how he’s walking the line between “Taylor controlled the media and this was fake; I am a free agent once again” and “Taylor controlled the media after she broke my heart but now I’m single and moving on.” what-is-the-truth.gif, Adam?

Yeah. If they had been like, “Damn, little Johnny is kind of an asshole” that would be one thing, but to say they’re idiots and they hope they fail their classes. Nah. Not cool. And maybe that’s the difference between the teachers who were asked to leave and those who were just suspended.

i’m going to re-post my reply to everyone who think these teachers’ comments are ok:

OH FFS.

These are the people who have control over these children’s grades, while blatantly saying “I hope he fails.” That is more than blowing off steam. That is a teacher I wouldn’t trust to educate and fairly grade my child.

There’s no such thing as private on the interweb.

Using the school-sanctioned workflow software to do it is not ok.

I would respectfully suggest that understanding that nothing posted online is ever private is a more vital life skill than knowing how to correctly spell Ta-Nehisi Coates.

I think a basic rule of thumb for every job is that you can blow off as much steam as you want, but never put it in writing.

So expressing a desire to physically harm a child under your care and calling them fucking idiots is totes cool?

You know, if it were just teachers making sarcastic, exasperated remarks and blowing off steam, I would think nothing of it. But to refer to children as fucking idiots and hope they fail—while being part of the group that can actually make that happen—goes too far. I had a teacher who had it out for in 7th grade and…
