Youโ€™ve been on here talking about nothing but cats for a whole month. Itโ€™s kinda weird. Follow at least one acct, and maybe talk about something youโ€™re interested in. If you keep exclusively talking about what you donโ€™t want to see, it will continue to be all you see ;)

My own experience with nipples tells me that, if I closed one in a door, Iโ€™d definitely specify that it happened to my nipple. โ€œBoobโ€ would not be a suitable substitute in the retelling.

Thereโ€™s a little irony in the fact that the caption says a picture is worth a thousand words, but there were zero words added to alt text.

Several young students sit gathered around a white board. A teacher has drawn 3 fish shapes on the board, and is adding stripes to the second fish. The first fish, with no stripes, has been โ€œxโ€™dโ€ out.

Taught a bunch of kindergartners how to identify which species of salmon they are raising. They nailed it! This is one of my favorite in-school activities.

โ€œLittle Buddyโ€ is cute. They always end up going by a hundred nicknames anyway. Her name is Freyja (but I nearly always call her Muffin)

Heโ€™s also gone on anti-college tirades ๐Ÿ˜”
Iโ€™m not surprised to hear that the research didnโ€™t inspired defensiveness instead of reflection and improvement.
