This makes me fucking sick.

What kind of depravity lives in those who would do this shit?!

May they never, ever know a moment’s peace again.

May they live with the pain, sadness, suffering, terror, and loneliness of those on whose lives they gambled away.

I put on ankle weights before my workout this morning. Just little onesβ€”1lb each.

I feel like I am 900 years old and forgot to have my hips replaced.

Ok ok…I’m trying not to #spoiler for anyone who hasn’t watched the third season of Picard, but there’s an entrance by a particular character that is so perfect that I watched it three times and could not stop laughing.

Republicans spent 17 months on Benghazi because 4 Americans were killed.

It’s been 3 days and Trump’s illegal Iran attack has already gotten 6 American soldiers killed. He promises more will die soon. And Republicans don’t care.

BREAKING: SCOTUS shadow docket decision rules in favor of forced outing of trans students, reinstating a lower court ruling against California's law prohibiting forced outing. Also references forcing teachers to misgender trans students. Horrific precedent.

I’m tired of hearing that my classes are bigger because of budget cuts. That I have to cut back on printing resources because of cuts. That I can’t use Google Drive anymore because of cuts. That there’s a teacher shortage, but boards can’t hire because of cuts πŸ€¦πŸΎβ€β™‚οΈ

I know this isn’t the point of the article but y’all know why he was suspended and not fired, right?

It’s because this king is a union member.

I hope his rep mops the floor with management.

By the time Tor Top’s mother was sick with cholera, the nearby clinic had been shuttered for two weeks.

He bundled her into a rented canoe and paddled toward the nearest hospital, eight hours away.

Less than halfway into the journey, his mother died.

I’m blown away again today, thinking where I was this time last year…my SIL had to talk me out of making a really bad career call then, & today my boss literally sent me an email that basically said don’t worry about this thing that’s going onβ€”we’ve got your back. I am so glad I waited it all out.
