It’s something I’ve heard a lot, and it’s obviously a compliment and meant to be nice. But I’m probably never going to have kids of my own and I just think of the father I could have been.

This is a huge meltdown in conservative circles, and considering how spineless the OU administration is, they’ll probably end up nixing the professor. They are currently working on getting rid of the African American studies department as is.

Edit: absolutely bonkers

I can buy the normally very deliciously painful spicy stuff from Walmart now, instead of the pan Asian supermarket. I’ve noticed that it seems to taste wayyyy less spicy. It feels closer to a hot Cheetos spicy than the proper actually painful way it used to taste.

That’s what they do. Our media absolutely covers for hate crimes right now.

I sent an email to their complaint department about the headline. Not likely to do anything, but I’ll still be annoying.

He was going out of his way to do everything “right” too.

He couldn’t use the men’s, because it was a trough set up. He talked to an employee, made sure that no one was in the women’s.

And then the cops had the gall to accuse him of being drunk and disorderly?

The problem is that the mask is off. They have never cared about the rules, they’ve never cared about the law - it’s always been in bad faith. Now we are in a time of strong men, and anything the strong man says is reality.

Calling someone a “pastor” is a Protestant thing. You wouldn’t hear a Catholic call The Pope a pastor.

Vance, like a lot of tradcaths, is LARPing because the rituals look cool. Sorta like how Andrew Tate is a “Muslim” because he thinks it’s all about controlling women, but at the same time unabashedly drinks in public.

Like not all Catholics are obsessed with the Pope, but like I have merch of the man from my Vatican visit. I have some conservative Catholic family critical of the Pope’s more progressive views, but they would never talk like this.

Hegseth doesn’t think women should be in the military. The DUI-hire is gradually working on it - I think we will at least see a return to a ban on serving in combat roles within a year or so.

I was a trans teacher (stealth, students and teachers didn’t know), and I did have a few students tell me that they were trans.

I asked them if they wanted me to call them by a different name or use different pronouns, and told them I would support them if were mistreated by other staff or administration and wanted my help. Truly evil indoctrination.

Like, what matters to me is that that homework has a name I recognize and give a grade for. Teachers are way too fucking busy to be indoctrinating your kids, especially the ones in hell hole red states (feeder middle school had 100+ kids in some classrooms - I remember being at a PD when someone asked how to adopt the activity for a stranding room only classsroom….)

This is the same kind of thing the 19 year old high school dropout with two kids he doesn’t have custody of posts on Facebook. Like “the devil whispered in my ear you can’t handle the storm and i said i am storm”

I worked in a school with a pretty good amount of students whose families had probably not entered the country legally.

I had a student who would be out at the end of the day. Like, yeah, lots of kids are zonked out by the last hour, and the fake sleep to watch silent TikToks was ever popular.

But this girl was out. The bell would ring and I’d try to wake her up. Like starting with a “hey the bell just rang, time to go home.” Gently nudging her to get no response. This was routine.

She worked a full time job at night. She didn’t get to sleep. She worked at night, she went to high school during the day.

There have been times that I’ve had to work three jobs to survive as an adult, and I’ve worked my share of fifteen+ hour shifts with no OT because who needs labor laws?

But that girl had to work harder to survive than any billionaire I’ve met could even conceive of (and I fucked a billionaire for quite a while). She was a child. She should have been tired because she had stayed up all night playing video games or talking to her friends - she should not have been tired because she had to have a full time job to survive as a teenager in high school.

Sovereign citizens believe that there is a difference between JOHN Q. PUBLIC and John Q. Public. Like your name in all caps is a “corporation” that the US government controls, which has money that you can access with the right combination of magic words. It’s very cargo cult.

I paid for my teaching degree by working as a prostitute. Prostitutes aren’t extra horny degenerates or something, they’re just folks trying to survive. I’d probably be a better teacher if I could still do it, because I could cut back the hours at my second job 🤷‍♂️

Seems like we hold teachers to higher standards than CEOs and politicians, for less money than a Walmart GM makes…

Mates, makeup ain’t for y’all. You know how you spent eight hours messing with your .bashrc or rolling for counter strike skins or whatever weirdass hobby you have? You don’t do it because you are trying to attract women - you see your friends get into something cool and you get competitive with them. That’s what it is for the womenfolk. They get their nails did and do weird ass makeup looks because it’s a fun hobby. They know that you probably don’t care about the difference between coffin and ballerina nails. But their friends do, and they want to show off, because it’s fun.
