Yeah this is a kid who is always late to school, so it's really just not a priority for her in her life.

I remember in college someone sharing how to upload a corrupted document to your professor's email to buy yourself more time to write the essay. I feel like this is that.

I've got a kid who has a C because they have multiple assignments that they did not give me access to the Google doc. I have said it to their face when they've had time and class to fix it. At this point I adsume they turned in a doc w/out access hoping I would give them a grade and not look at it.

A small marker of our times: this phrase in a news story (rather than opinion) and it being completely accurate.

And then we have to look at our loss to Future scientists: I know two young people who abandoned PhD dreams. One of them specifically switched over to a 4 year mechanical engineering track when the research Grant that was funding his work study was cut by DOGE last year.

Strongly suspect that as this war and its negative effects escalate, we're gonna see a massive increase in disinfo and unsourced "news" - starting right the hell now.

PLEASE don't share "breaking" news from rando or disreputable accounts who provide no links.

Terrible twos meets daylight savings.

PSA Meta’s employing a tactic known as « being vicious lil buttholes » to get people to use that thing

Hell, I'd take it as store credit. They have a record of everything I've bought on my membership.

One of the most depressing things about the war in Iran is how a bunch of grown ass men are acting like this is a fucking video game.

The Easter episode of Bluey is real because without spoiling the Easter Bunny for kids they make it really clear to the adults that Mom and Dad just fucked up.

Got most of the Easter basket, just need to candy to hide in the eggs. Getting ahead of it because it's going to sneak up on me.

That's why I'm so against ChatGPT. I'm against letting a machine do your homework for you. I think you should cling to Doing Your Homework Yourself like it's the last opportunity you have to liberate yourself from mental enslavement. Because it basically is.

Anyway shout out to Kai Cenat.

Them being able to work out respect with -2int roll means anyone can do it and makes it even worse that its not truly universal.

I finally read the full Slate article. I conclude this is more evidence that a person who doesn't read romance should not write a Serious Article About Romance, even if that person interviews very smart people like @jenreadsromance.bsky.social, because the condescension drips on through.

Post the cover of a book you love from the '90s. (Any century.)

Does a play count?

BEFORE AND AFTER You may find that you begin to measure your life before and after they left. And that’s okay. Just be sure whatever you do whatever tiny grain of strength you have left that you strive to fill up the after as richly and as beautifully as they helped you fill the before. The before is committed to memory now but the after is totally up to you. Make it count.

I know a guy who rose pretty quickly to a lead at Pixar. We hung out a lot freshman year of college but have fallen out of touch since. This whole article made me question what he knew, saw, did. Esp because his first big project was Brave.

I need every single male artist that follows me to read this. It's not very long. You need to bear witness to this shit. You have to see it with your own eyes because you never will in your everyday life.

I'm serious, read it all please

Opening a cup of yogurt and pretending it's for me so that my toddler will want to eat it.

“If I eat a piece of the Bible, does my body become holy?” fourth graders are the best.

Don't watch this movie. Period. If he thinks knowing gay people exists will somehow be traumatizing, he doesn't deserve our money or our eyeballs.

Defenders of the war claim it's liberation, but the water in Tehran today is acidic and the sky is black with ash. It's mass murder.

Some people insist on bad faith readings, even after clarifications are made, because they don't have anything interesting to post about if they aren't arguing.

I'm specifically talking about the movie they made being free to watch and free for the artists to send around as portfolio work and post clips of online.

Not to sell, not to own, but free to watch.

I'd accept creator. Basically if you're gonna take a tax break, I don't want you to be able to scrap the work of a team of artists and make it so they have nothing for their portfolio to show for two years of labor. They should have the right to it if the company kills it.

I feel like we could head off a lot of this by requiring that art written off as a loss become public domain.

Fortunate that the state of Alabama screwed Birmingham Southern and caused a college to close down and displace a whole bunch of students and teachers? Yeah fuck this guy.
