Well there goes all the new teachers. The standard now is for teachers to have Masters degrees and as a professional degree, no one is getting funding for that.

I am plain and chubby and I get street harassed. It happens because it's not about sex, it is about power. If I'm the next woman unlucky enough to walk by a guy who feels like his dick is too small and he needs to feel power over someone in order for it to be bigger? It's not like the dude stops like, "Nope, not…

I would be lying if I said that my decision to move from DC back to my home town was not partially motivated by the extreme difference in the amount of street harassment I experienced in DC.

Most of the smokers I've hung out with over the past decade are lawyers, doctors and teachers. Waaaa-aaaaay more pot-smokers exist out there than people realize because the stereotype pothead that you can pick out of a ine-up is a teeny-tiny percentage of the people out there toking up in private and responsibly and…

Since I learned more about Scientology's education "philosophy" (it epitomizes "when the only tool you have is a hammer...") and how the Church is trying to get it introduced into public schools, I can't even laugh about Scientology schools any more.

Gave you an upvote because I too am probably a pedantic turd (but a pedantic turd whose professional life completely revolves around teaching children the proper definition and function of an experiment).

My college didn't have any Greeks so this whole article basically read to me like a bunch of gibberish except I got the part about the hideous fucking racism.

I spent my mid-twenties either putting my husband through graduate school or moving to an unheated shack in the middle of nowhere and living on the single income of a public school teacher. Did I do it wrong?

Um.

Just a general heads-up though that Gerber sizing runs realllllllly small. Like really really small. Buy up at least a size, if not two.

I was really surprised at the policy because otherwise it's a small, friendly, reasonable-seeming company. But, like, how is this an expectation that anyone thinks is realistic? Literally nothing is going to happen that requires your attention on a weekday for four months? Really?

And frogs!

Meanwhile, I am kind of salivating at the thought of t-shirts that are more form-fitting and slimmer than the norm because my boy child is not even on the growth chart and dressing him in clothing that doesn't resemble a potato sack is an ongoing challenge.

My husband just started a new job where he was told that he would not be permitted to take (well, was strenuously discouraged from taking—he did take one sick day when he was literally unable to get out of bed) any leave for his first 4 months of employment. We have a young son who has had some minor health problems…

I think I'm on Team MadPiglet. I don't fold my t-shirts "correctly" like they do at department stores because I can't be bothered. It's a t-shirt. I fold it in whatever way gets its end state to be a square that fits in my drawer. Then I shove it in the drawer. Done. Life is too fucking short to spend agonizing over…

There basically is no "gender neutral" section of children's clothing in most big box typed stores. Or specialty stores like The Children's Place. You walk in and immediately go to your "side." It's terrible.

I taught high school and middle school for a couple years and never noticed a gender difference in awfulness of taste.

Why do teenagers seem to gravitate towards terrible things in large numbers?

It looks less hideous when it's not all rendered-shiny and 3D. But apparently the shiny 3D look is part of the whimsy?
