Anyone else remember when Special K created their own diet and it was basically just eating two bowls of Special K every day and everyone accepted that as medically sound?

Don’t forget the English teachers grading 100 essays with personal feedback and corrections.

Have you ever stopped to think about how everything used to be created to generate peace of mind and accept those waiting periods?

nikki blonsky pre-racial slur.
zac efron at his prime.

QUEEN LATIFAH.

quite possibly one the best musical movies of the 2000s, if not THEE best.

today someone in office said that “worrying is the worst way to use your imagination” and that’s easily the best thing Ive heard all week

Dawson’s Creek was an outlier even back then; critics argued it was unrealistic to portray teens with such extensive vocabulary who are so deeply self referential. But if you know ball you get that the show never spoke down to its viewers, which was a huge part of its success.

You cannot:

​Work full time, raise children, keep a spotless home, show up fully in your marriage, maintain friendships, stay fit, build wealth, read books, pursue hobbies, serve only home cooked meals, answer every email, and still make the 3:30 school pickup.

​That standard was created to keep you exhausted and blaming yourself. Let it go.

I’d argue that once you hit your late 20’s you realize you were practicing adulthood for the last 10 years and it’s not what you really wanted because you probably decided your entire life trajectory before your frontal lobe fully formed and it makes a lot of sense to have the desire to start all over with the knowledge you gained once real adulthood and life experience hit

This is going to be long.

Last semester I suspected I had a major issue with use of AI in my survey courses, so I inserted what is known as a trojan horse (not the virus kind) into the directions of a paper assignment. As it turned out, I did in fact have a major problem, and a post on Threads about it accidentally went quasi-viral and ultimately became a Huffington Post article and an NPR interview.

One of my pet peeves is hearing people say, “Schools need to teach finances.”

They probably did. You just didn’t pay attention.

The same way health class taught you what healthy habits look like, yet people still vape, live off fast food, and drink energy drinks daily.

What’s James Marsden’s best role and why is it Corny Collins.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

During Teacher Appreciation Week, remember this: If we want the best-educated workforce in the world, we need great teachers.

But we won’t attract great teachers when the average starting salary is just $48K a year.

My Pay Teachers Act guarantees teachers at least $60K a year.

[Cybele @cybelethebest]

The real change is that we're now racked with guilt any time we're with our kids and not actively enriching and educating them. I feel vaguely bad when I'm with mine and trying to get something done, even if they're perfectly fine, as though I'm being neglectful. I don't think previous generations felt this way nearly as much as we do now.
