Amen.

I really feel for teachers. They do so much for our communities with so little appreciation or support.

I vehemently hate all attempts to add AI to schooling. I want a *person* that *knows what they are doing* to teach children.

I want to PAY THEM WELL and FUND EDUCATION INSTEAD OF WAR.

OH MY GOD

There was a guy at the ska show last weekend with a shirt that said "presidents are temporary, Wu-Tang is forever".

Whoa.

All the more reason to develop a Luddite praxis in education:

I'm so tired of our choices for public office being incredibly shitty. It is limited to those that already have money and power and I fucking hate it. These are not civil servants for the people at large. They definitely don't think of themselves that way, either. Fuck these toxic weirdos.

That looks like the good life, Jeff.

You are not random, Rebecca.

There’s a genuine gaslighting element to forcing faculty to debate whether to teach with AI. If someone broke into my house & stole from me, my employer wouldn’t ask me to work with them. But that’s what AI did. So, no.

HIS ASS DOES NOT HAVE A DRIVERS LICENSE

Gee, why would they do that?

Dude, my stepdad is literally there right now. Should I alert my mom that women might be there trying to pick him up...?

Oh, I don't need to shadow you for that; I already have an extensive background of Being Mad Online. Let's just stick to moons and birds.

Man, sometimes I just wanna be your apprentice. I take pictures but mostly just of ska bands. And with a camera that's 20+ years old. I want to make friends with moons and birds like you.

Yeah, she has a lot of issues and none of them are diagnosed yet. That's part of the problem, too. I am trying to worry about myself now but once her money runs out, she's fucked and I can't really try to help anymore. Someone needs to make her apply for disability.

What can APS do? I have a friend living in a hotel right now. She has finite money and no income. She has never worked but will not apply to disability. I keep trying but I can't make her do it. She has case managers at social services & community services board but they aren't helping.

Obama is the only president to date born when there were 50 states

Oh goddammit.

The older I get, the more I realize that organized religion is bullshit. It's just another tool that rich and powerful men use to control people, even if it doesn't seem like it at the bottom level.

Every institution that punished me for disobedience & defiance when I was a kid....was fucked up.

Anyway, a while ago, there was a shake up at the Orange campus and the worship/music leaders (a couple) left because of "drama" and my mom didn't know why. Her and all of her friends assumed it was the fault of the worship leaders......how much you wanna bet it was because of *this*???

I won't get into it but my mom went to the original campus in Culpeper when it first started. I absolutely HATED it.

It is wild, though, that the people going to this church have no idea that it's a southern Baptist church and swear it's nondenominational.

Also, they really do not like women.

Also, my mother took issue with this article because she swears up and down that Mountain View is not a Baptist church but is nondenominational & independent. I always thought it felt very southern Baptist but she says, "Oh no it doesn't."

Virginia church employs former teacher who sexually assaulted a 14-year-old student A Virginia campus director leading a SBC church is a registered sex offender who pleaded guilty to assaulting a 14-year-old student in 2005.

OH SUPER COOL THIS WAS MY PARENTS' CHURCH UNTIL RECENTLY AND MY MOM HAD NO FUCKING IDEA AND NEITHER DID ANY OF HER FRIENDS

Can someone please do the thing and make gay pirates say this?

This was taken back when I lost all that weight and was sick. That's when I was wearing those sunglasses.

These were taken 20 years ago...???

Sounds fake.

I have a Playmobil ship....

Thank-you, friends. Cookies have been made and eaten!

I've been sick in bed all day with no appetite for 2 days in a row and now all of a sudden, I remember I have peanut butter cookie mix and now I am starving and peanut butter cookies are literally the only thing I want.

This is a very bad idea, right? Like, I need something with nutritional value.

I have a lot of questions and some rage.
