I agree, I get that academically he’s miles ahead of his peers but school is also about socialization which I’m guessing this kid missed out big on. My mom teachers first grade and one year she had a genius like him (he was in the process of patenting a car design at SIX) but his parents wanted him to move through the…

oxy addictions often evolve into heroin addictions because heroin is cheaper and easier to get and produces a similar high

Our constitution guarantees free speech and the right to assemble regardless of ideology.

I have really conflicted feelings about this because, on the one hand, fuck Nate Parker but on the other Nat Turner’s story is so important.

I like Lochtenator, I’ve been calling him the Lochteness monster
