Right, she really means she can’t just waltz into a six-figure salary and she doesn’t want to do anything she sees as lesser.

I called the cops on Deadspin when they banned me way back when, and the police just told me that I was actually in a Wendy’s so I got a baconator and everything was fine.

Taylor said that though she made $500,000 from her account over three years, “that money does not last.”

I’m sure this girl is awful in a lot of ways, and I’m definitely not going to watch any of her stuff, but saying that you “bring nothing to the table” and are useless to for work is really sad. 21 is awfully young to essentially just give up on yourself.

Is it possible to say something about one trans person without it equating to saying it about all trans people?

Having respect for transgender people and also believing Kaitlin Jenner may be a phony are not mutually exclusive points of view.

Or a bandana, or shorts, or a muscle shirt, or, or, or GAHHHHHHHHHH!!! I hate people. Some guy on my neighborhood message board tried to stir shit last week because another guy was going around planting little American flags on... I think people’s lawns and in the medians and such? OK fine, cool, I guess... except…

You can wear it over your ass, but your ass can’t sit on it. I think. Flag rules are weird.

Seriously. The fact that kids had been complaining to their parents before this story broke (and of course, parents dismissed it) means the children were picking up on this animosity and tension live, in the classroom. The teachers were not confining their opinions to personal communications between each other, which…

If you conclude that a child’s an idiot for misspelling a (by the way uncommon and unusually spelt) name you shouldn’t be a fucking teacher. If that’s your mindset you don’t belong in the profession. This could have been a funny anecdote about a student’s kind of funny mistake but it got malicious for no reason.

While you’re sitting high and mighty about grammar I think it’s important to point out that your sentence could use a few commas

Ha!

You’re right, any high school student who doesn’t put 100% effort into every assignment is a fucking idiot who should be pilloried by her teachers. You seem like an incredibly understanding and reasonable individual.

i sure hope you spell everything fucking perfectly.

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

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…

Wow. So now he gets what it’s like for someone to trap you and force you to undergo an experience you don’t want to go through?* Huh?
