    My seniors had some feelings about this today. I teach in a mid/lower income community. The vast majority of my kids aren’t getting help to pay for college and they are stressed about paying for it and where to go and this asshole had her way paved to this university and doesn’t care. 

    I’ve liked LVP but she is shady AF.

    Demi is the best. I know she is heading to Paradise but I’d love to see her as the Bachelorette because that would be entertaining.

    Honestly, she probably only came on the show for insta followers so she can shill diet teas. And she was probably hemming and hawing to try to get a Bachelorette position, if she said she just wasn’t into him and left then the bacholerette was a no-go. But if she just doesn’t know what to do, then maybe she still gets

    This is the only way I’d pay for the live feeds instead of reading recaps. I didn’t know I needed this in my life until just now.

    This! I’m not a fan of the Kardashians but the whole RBF keeps you young is a joke that I trot out all the time. It doesn’t mean I never smile.

    The price of pads and tampons is outrageous for what is essentially a wad of cotton or rayon.

    Colton is so amazingly bland. I honestly don't understand why he was picked. I also feel like he wasn't really listening to Demi as she walked out. 

    As a teacher, chances are it wasn't about the door and it was about things going on for some time, simmering until the kid exploded about the door.

    I loved Fatima Ali on Top Chef and her essay was beautifully sad.

    I hate those posts with every fiber of my being. Maybe he’s just shopping and that’s why he’s in many different aisles. For instance, I ran into a parent of one of my students about 8 times last weekend at the grocery story.

    I mean they used her image without her permission or paying her. 

    I’m as far from an athlete as you can get and I only managed to go to my zoo lab like three times.

    Someone replied to a tweet last night about RAINN that Caelynn’s story didn’t add up with the hospital thing. It took two seconds of googling to come up with stories in Canada, South Carolina and Texas where women were turned away from hospitals. The hospitals claim that they either don’t have rape kits or they don’t

    Except today they told me they decided to sell ukuleles and dinosaur shaped chicken nuggets in the taco shop.

    I’ve taught middle school first 11 years and let me tell you they are little weirdos. They like weird things and say weird things and do weird things. They other day a group of girls was dying of laughter in class because one said she was going to own a store called Taco Shop but they wouldn’t sell tacos. And

    Not only do I love garbage holiday sweets, the white conversation hearts were my favorite. They are weird and chalky and I love them. 

    My state (and I'm sure others) is having an issue with charter schools kicking kids out and back to their home district the few days after child count which is what determines state funding. So, they get the funding for the kid but the kid is no longer in that school.

    Preach. I can’t with the class size doesn’t matter people. I have also been hearing the big class sizes prepare them for college arguments and I can’t with that either.

    The number one rule with crazy street preachers is that you don't engage with crazy street preachers because you will never win. Never.
