public middle school teachers should be paid 3x what they’re earning because I could never do that
soldiers fight a couple tours of duty and call it a heroic art. middle school teachers enter an active war zone 5 days a week for 36 weeks a year their entire career
I don’t think middle schoolers are inherently evil, by the way. I just think it tends to an extremely difficult and transitionary period in adolescence and often kids that age are pushing boundaries and taking their pain out on their peers AND the adults in their lives. like, middle school was the place I saw the bloodiest battles I’ve ever witnessed. you could not pay me enough money to make me go back to middle school or to experience being 12 again.
i’m concerned about boys with mental illnesses and eating disorders and abusive relationships and sexual assault survivor stories and self-harming tendencies who never get the attention or care or help they need because all of those things “don’t happen to men” or because “all men are horrible monsters” and i just wanna say if you’re a boy and you’re struggling with something hard, your gender doesn’t diminish or dismiss your struggles or make them any less significant or difficult and i love you and i’m here for you
I wanna add that years ago I watched one of the Strawberry Shortcake specials with my little brother, and he said of the Pieman, “Uugh! He’s always…doin’ things, and coming outta places.”
Did you guys know the “Sickos” artist made a Sicko thats a WGA screenwriter on strike (said comic artist is a The Onion satirist comic artist and his name is Stan Kelly)
image embedded in tweet is a full bin labeled “Free Condoms, Be Safe Today!”, with the aro flag on both the label and each of the condom packets, next to a full bin labeled “Free Water Balloons, Have Fun Today!”, doing the same thing with the ace flag.
This is in fact a funny joke, but it’s worth noting that that condoms are stronger than balloons. I say this as someone who has taken a 3 pound bag of water to the face that did not explode.
scribbles in ace diary: Do not… throw… water dicks… at ppl… unless… you… can cover… their… medical bills….
