The game within that game is fun too; how fast would you have died? I usually win (3 days after birth).

Fuck SeaWorld honestly, their practices are so fucked up. Off topic: My friends and I watched Fantastic Planet and then Blackfish immediately after (my friends and I are THOSE people) but the combination messed us all up far more than just watching one and then the other on another day

A guy I’m casually dating—who’s pretty good with nonverbal communication—asked me when we first met “Are you okay with hugs?” I said “YEAH!” because we were at least friends and he gave me a nice hug goodbye.

As a fellow teacher, I agree with you. No guns in the classroom - not in my students’ hands or mine. Mind you, I AM good under pressure and I’ve handled guns numerous times. Furthermore, I’ve survived two different incidents when an unstable teen put a gun to my head, and one where a student threatened to beat me up…

I took it as her saying that she didn’t end up as a teen/very young mom, which absolutely can make it much more challenging to focus on your career.

I am coming to the conclusion that some of the people who are responding to you have a fundamental lack of respect for early childhood educators and the work they do. It just floors me how little insight they have into a child’s mind and how learning basic concepts makes it possible for higher-level concepts to be…

You know what else is important? Understanding language, rhetoric, reasoning, argument, logic, etc.

I am so sick of this bullshit prioritizing science and math over the humanities. People who can’t evaluate argument, recognize propaganda or understand history and sociology are much easier to manipulate, even if they…

I loved the movie too! I like every effort to popularize science and to not make our lives look like our destiny is always in the hands of God or of some group of conspirators. We are here and we do impressive stuff because of science and that was the message of the movie (to me). I love stories where people use…

I saw Brand New and Manchester Orchestra for the first time in 10 years last month and it felt so good to be immersed in a crowd of late 20-somethings singing along to “Okay I Forgive You But My Tommy Gun Don’t” with combined nostalgic fervor. 10/10 would experience that again every day for the rest of my life if I…

I FEEL YOU.

Thanks for the spoiler alert.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaugh! You didn’t say “spoiler alert” and now you’ve ruined Moby-Dick (a 150+ year old book with a story that’s been widely discussed by scholars and laypeople alike for generations) for me! I’m very upset. (No, I’m not.)

Cult mentality. Cult mentality. Cult mentality. Unlike your moderate branches of Islam where you can interact with non-Muslims and non-Muslim cultures fine, the branch this couple followed has all the ear marks of a cult. And we know how cults can twist people around to do extremely violent things that normal people…

It's a harvest feast... is that really so strange?

“You really should educate yourself.”
Jesus effing Christ, what an asshole.
My brother went through a brief “Super Jew” phase in college and couldn’t understand why I didn’t disagree with intermarriage. He then told me I would understand “when [my] religious views mature.”
My mom always says I would have had a clear case…

So, having children should only be a luxury afforded to the affluent?

I liked her better when she was called Rayanne Graff!!

It can both be true that Caitlyn Jenner is not deserving of the Woman of the Year, and that this guy is an asshole for calling her a man.
