I tutor, and I’ve ran into lots of rich boys with disabilities who learn that they can get their parents to pay for their homework to be done for them (or the mom does it herself…). Fired a client because he had too much of a “reading disability” to do the required reading for the paper we were writing - previous tutors would write his papers for him!

The DOJ has had a moratorium on pursuing any Title 9 claims related to gender identity for several years now. The EEOC has not been investigating claims of discrimination related to gender identity in several districts also for several years now.

These are specific items that need to be addressed. I’d like there to be separately pushed, because “Trans Bill of Rights” already sounds like it’s going to be nuked from orbit.

I had more than one job offer explicitly revoked because of my gender identity, including a federal one (cited Trump’s EO.) I sought help and did not find it. Living in a red state gives you zero recourse.

What is “rope drop?” Disneyland lets guests inside the park about 30 minutes before it opens. Guests can walk towards the Hub, where ropes prevent them from entering the lands. At official park opening, there is an announcement and cast members pull back the ropes, allowing guests into the park. Because the crowds disperse quickly across many attractions, wait times are incredibly short for the first hour or two.

Disney adults are something else. The fact that planning a trip to a theme park is something you need jargon and multiple guides for is crazy to me.

Facebook also makes it very hard as an adult to monitor a teens social media use and protect them. I was working with a teen who was joining dating groups made for adults, and the tools wouldn’t let me see the messages being sent. Wouldn’t let me report the groups.

There’s never going to be a time in my life where I will be able to afford even a modest gaming computer :(

He’s not even cool enough to have invented meat shoes.

You never budget for a grocery store trip? You never walk into a store with $10 and think about how many cokes or whatever you can buy?

Just because someone’s not handing you an algebra worksheet, doesn’t mean you aren’t doing algebra.

I get locked in a rumination cycle, which makes it difficult to do things I need to do (clean, work stuff, etc)

Weed shuts it off.

The woman who leans into the frame also seems to be wearing hers like that too.

Truly a bunch of epic penguins of doom.

her sunglasses are upside down?

I forgot yesterday that it was going on and went to Trader Joe’s after work. It was heavenly. Those stores are always so cramped.

I think many people really don’t like knowing that other people suffer. Much easier to pretend that suffering doesn’t exist by not interacting with it. But once you overcome that hurdle of realizing that suffering exists, then there’s so much joy to be found in being able to actually eliminate some of it.

K-12 STEM stuff is so fun! I’ve got to be a badge counselor a few times and that was a delight.

Do you have a stabby stick, or do you just wear gloves?

Is JustServe alright? The context I learned about it was Mr Beast teaming up with the LDS church, and I wasn’t sure if it was a Mormon thing or not.

One of my favorite things in college was checking out my fraternity chapters website for volunteer sign ups. It was fun to have a menu of opportunities every weekend. It would be nice to just go to an app or something instead of just trying to tune my Facebook algorithm.

Food pantries are great. One of the few good deeds in the world where the impact is something you can very directly see.

The Right essentially decided to destroy public education in response to desegregation.

The district I worked for was excellent in the 50’s and 60’s. Now, the only high school that isn’t a failure is the application school all the white kids get into.

I’m just glad the media called it “racist.” Not “controversial” or any other sane washing crap.

This is disgusting.

the women obsessed with this kind of thing

Right wing women redirect their frustrations with being treated like breeding sows to an acceptable target. Gives them a feeling of power and control.

The Girl Scouts let trans girls in though?
