💜💛🧡 absolutely beautiful. Wish I could teleport myself there.

So if they share a goal of resisting and arguing why they should resist, it explains the behavior, and will probably result in a lower grade.

If they want higher grades, they may need to re-evaluate the behavior.

😁

Cheating is, by nature, dishonest. Everyone knows the rules here, so, not cheating.

That means it's about goals. Practicing debate skills probably feels interesting, but that won't singlehandedly improve their grades in these classes, or their class learning. Accepting the teacher's offer will.

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen.

Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

You did it, and it WILL be remembered. 😂

Outstanding, thank you!!!

Hi, Pup!!!

Same with lots of Oregon. Grrrr.

Voting strategically matters.

Sometimes that means eating a turd sandwich. I get it - that's disgusting. Yet swallowing the poison sandwich force fed by autocrats is dramatically worse.

Exhibit A (gestures broadly).

Speaking truth matters. Votes matter. Each tool has its purpose. Strategy is key.

Voting TOTALLY matters.

Pan! (IYKYK.)

Person making giant bubbles on the beach with a golden sunset in the background. The end of the bubble string looks like a swirling rainbow-lined jellyfish.

Quite a moment.

As far as the part where it's easy to identify that it's specific to parents with only older kids, it's hard to say -- it would be interesting to hear from them. My guess is that they probably have had some experiences if it's a widespread phenomenon. I'd be curious to learn.

In my area, there are reasons. Some take their own kids to an event instead, some with smalls want to avoid big kid chaos, some feel too vulnerable to open their doors (I've seen teens do some crappy stuff to vulnerable folks in my day), etc. And Ring cameras show us what happens to honor bowls. 😕

ROTS.

LICE SAVERS.

NARDS.

Still totally matters, good work! You put a dent in tomorrow's cleanup. Well done. 🍁

For the new gig!

I worked hard to feast my eyes, but I will grieve the leaves anyway. ❤️🧡💛🤎🍁🍁🍁🍁

This, exactly.

I luhrve it!

Seems like a good time to get more creative. Make the whack a mole game more challenging. Be less predictable, less kettle-able. Make it harder to get video that requires luggable equipment and tripods. Leverage tech even better. Exploit cruel tactics frequently and even more effectively. Mm hm.

Perfect timing, really.

(I mean that for real, no sarcasm or snark -- it really IS lovely of you to think of this and be so considerate and open hearted. I realized after writing it that it could sound chilly, and I mean it warmly.)

That's really lovely of you. ☺️💖

Anyone who disagrees should go rent a wheelchair and physically attempt to navigate many varying areas of the built environment with it, including those designed for wheelchair users. It's a lot harder than most people think. (And ambulators can easily get back up and deal with it if they fall.)

I, too, have strong feelings about this. I've been a person whose only option was a wheelchair before. Even rolling across a sloped driveway in the RIGHT area is a tip risk. A person can get a TBI trying to get around a car like that. Way beyond inconvenient. I am intolerant of excuses on this one.

You mean where I think, "I would never do something this stupid or reckless, I MUST be asleep, WAKE UP" then wake up?

Yes. Yes it does.
