“Better a hundred innocents suffer than one freeloader get a free lunch.”
God forbid we just feed students lunch without interrogating their parents financial situation. Gotta make sure the freeloaders aren’t gaming the system for canned green beans and wiener wraps.
My excuse is that it is delicious and awful and I hate myself.
Pennsylvania drivers (at least Pittsburgh ones) are batshit fucking insane. These people terrify me, and I grew up in DC.
The Knockout Game is not real, and that is in no way what that was. All the other kids were confused as shit when it happened.
You better start stalking me then. I lived through 4 fucking years of that godawful state, and I’m not about to temper my distaste for the place where I nearly died at least four times that I can name off the top of my head. Whether it be by heat exhaustion, too many guns in schools, or good ol’ fashioned bad drivers,…
So, story time: I was actually once randomly assaulted on the subway for no goddamn reason. I was on my way home from work, wearing a hoodie and listening to music with my head down. I was interacting with and bothering absolutely no one. This group of middle school kids on their way home from school got on as I was…

I could actually feel my face frantically…
I am not ashamed to say that I am more attached to Bill Bye thn I am a large part of my extended family. He represented a chill science class and was the first adult I could consider ‘Cool’. He has never let me down. Okay. I will go get help meow.
If nothing else, this bit gave us an amazing gif of Bill Nye saying “That just makes no fucking sense.”
I grew up in LA. I can't begin to tell you how many people (white women, mostly, but some WOC too,) that used to espouse that shit. Drove me nuts. Dude. I don't think the universe gives a shit about... anything, really. But really not whether you consume dairy or soy.
I am not white, but I think the universe is telling me I should be white
Bill Nye was a key figure in my childhood science education.
