If I were a English teacher, I would teach it very differently than I was taught. No Moby Dick, no Silas Marner, no Catcher in the Rye. I also would be careful with Shakespeare. I used to think I hated Shakespeare because we had to read it out loud in class and/or memorize portions of Hamlet with little to no…

I teach middle school at a charter school in Washington, DC.

You’re describing about half the current adherents to the GOP. The platform seems to have become, “Focusing on policy decisions don’t accomplish anything good for the base, but that will actively antagonize those in other parties.”

Its funny. The rest of the Trump Klan was mostly about graft. Money, power and simple corruption. The money the Trumps stole from us is significant.

cuts his own hair using a Flowbee, a contraption I’m just now learning of that the manufacturer describes as a “vacuum haircut system.”

I live in a Red state and couldn’t agree more. I saw a family of four at the grocery store yesterday, maskless and glaring at me like I was the asshole for staring at them. I just couldn't fucking believe it. It shouldn't shock me, but it did.

Ablation High-five right back at ya!  More women need to know about this procedure.  You do NOT need to suffer, ruin sheets, spend $$$$ on tampons, pads, new pajamas, etc.  Ask your OB about it, it is life changing. 

The worst for me has been sleep disruption. I can fall asleep, but can’t stay asleep. And while my period duration has gotten shorter, there is usually one day when I am changing tampons every hour. And I’ve definitely noticed an increased difficulty in maintaining muscle mass since I’ve hit the mid-40 range despite…

Anyone else here working from home getting to the point where, after eight-nearly-nine months, you’re starting to forget your colleagues aren’t just a circle with initials but actually have faces?

My mom had a similar attitude - experienced lots of sexism at her work place in the 80s and 90s (she quit after she got all three of us through college and off her health insurance). On one hand, I’m glad she didn’t see Trump in office. On the other, I was sad she didn’t get to see Kamala Harris’s phone call to Joe.

Being born to & raised by my mother, Feminist Extraordinaire. Every bit of my politics comes from her, even though she died when I was 13. All these decades later I still feel her guiding me. She was intersectional before it was a broadly discussed concept. For her equal rights weren’t worth pursuing if only a…

They’re putzes, schmendricks (esp Jared), schmekels, schmucks, shlemiels, fercockt, khazers, and I don’t like them, either.

L’hitraot, you entitled, narcissistic, worthless cretins. Don’t let the door hit you in the tuchus on the way out.

Am I the only person that doesn’t use the damn iCloud? I don’t need to store everything out there on a server that could be hacked. I’m sure it makes some things easier, but I’m way too concerned with privacy for that nonsense.

Thread for election/data nerds who may be stressing out. tl/dr, there has been insufficient attention paid to two facts: Biden is polling >49% in most places that matter, and the number of undecided voters now is well below 2016.

HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THAT ANYONE WOULD VOTE FOR THIS GUY??? HOW!!!???!??!?!?!?!? (everyday I ask myself)

You guys really seem to not like that a high-ranking Trump scumbag got caught with his hand down his pants in the same room as what he thought was a teenage girl.
