@notcapnamerica I understand the sentiment and problems. But kids don’t need a speech like that do they?.

@jo_juice @notcapnamerica She didn’t give them a reason. She was vague and made them feel it was their fault in my opinion.

@NeoKiingDave It’s the way it happened a number of times for me - I’m Gen x -think that’s better than seeing my teacher cry about her mental health from the job? Kids always blame themselves.

@RaquelE305 @rachel Yes, that’s it. The out of shape Karens are envious. No. How about this famous lady who makes money from her image and fame is totally full of shit pretending to be Spanish and it’s fucking ridiculous.

@jdflynn As a Catholic college kid at a catholic college, I had an appetite and inclination toward premarital sex. It wasn’t seen as such a massive sin that I was offered counseling and an apostate to join to stop my inclination. No, we only do that to gay kids.

What is happening #AmbassadorBridge in Detroit is a sign of the aimless idiocy of certain angry white men. No goals, no demands, they aren’t even real truckers according to the Canadian Trucking Alliance. Just a bunch of assholes shutting down commerce.

@PaulMinda1 @MorganJerkins There’s a store in my neighborhood called “Art Smart’s Dart and Juggling Emporium” where they sell only darts and juggling supplies. I can’t believe I just wrote that. Juggling supplies.

Driving home, I’m totally car crying. Lost dear friend to an OD earlier this year and I’m so not over it. Red light, dude watching frm back window of a gov’t van in front of me smiles& gives me a prayer sign. Shows his handcuffs. He’s a prisoner in transport. Now that’s Grace.

@Blackrosess_ @sankofa_bird I went to a plantation today in Charleston called McLeod. Focus of all tours: the enslaved people, not the white “owners.” Black tour guide with a master’s degree in history and AA studies. Just fantastic. What it should be. An education, an acknowledgement, hallowed ground.

@Emilymakescoff1 I ❤️being a lawyer and wanted to do it since I was a kid. I was an avid reader too. I would tell her just read, read, and read about anything and everything. So much of law school and practice is reading comprehension! Learn all you can about the world thru books.

@helloreilly As a parent, it crosses my mind as a possibility with any teacher, coach, priest, or other adult who spends time with kids. We need to teach our children about boundaries, telling when something weird happens, and building in structures to safeguard them.

Shockingly, “Melanie” blocked me at 11:15pm from her hot newlywed Catholic trad bed, where aside from being happily married and alive with Christ she also constantly tweets against normal Catholics, all day, every day. And night, apparently. Totally normal. Not fake at all.

@jdflynn The impact of making their “sin” worse than mine causes a shame spiral. Gen X generation knows full well. Meanwhile, we have kids who are cutting themselves and major depression/anxiety not functioning. Give me a break, you people talking about masturbation.

@WTMJSteve I think about this a lot. But being a pragmatic, I remind myself it would happen in any city. Let’s welcome them as we sell them rooms and steaks and meeting places. Along the way let’s question them. Let’s do that, pocket the $, and vote Biden.

There are no words that describe Robert Jones’ writing about gay black men. It is simply radical. I hope the world reads “The Prophets”. His elegy for Michael K. Williams is linked. Indeed. God rest Michael.

This doctor’s writings often move me to tears.
They’ve been married for forty-five years, and reached the point in their relationship where most of the communication happens wordlessly. A subtle smile, a nod. A “hmm” or a “yeah” or the occasional “fer sure.”. Their love reaches a place, deep down. 1/.

@CoffeeBean26 I also think WILL promoted a false story. Reported everywhere: that the 3 boys were being “charged” - the stories all made it seem a criminal charge had been filed oe a civil lawsuit or something. But it was just a Title IX complaint the likes of which are normal!.
