The BBC doesn’t need to spit in women’s faces when JKR is around to do it. I feel lucky to have gotten to watch Barbra Banda play in person this year and she absolutely deserves her award!
@horticultrebaby Same. I won’t do it. And I’m required to call them their legal name unless there’s parental permission, so I told them I’m happy to call them by their last name if they prefer. And if the “wrong” pronouns are so bad, I’ve just switched to they/them as default to be safe…
@horticultrebaby Well, we know YOU aren’t doing that. And I’m like, none of us are doing that! They are who they are and I just want to treat them all with respect and empathy and give them a safe place to learn. And it’s illegal for me to even ask their pronouns now
Y’all do know that a miscarriage is medically considered an “abortion” right?
You do know that when you can’t expel all of the products of your spontaneous abortion…you have to do something called a d&c right?
Y’all do know that a d&c is considered abortion…right?
sorry to be this person but the tweets are starting. please do not leave minorities in red states behind , you have no idea how hard we fight every single day to win against gerrymandering and undemocratic supermajorities. every day is an uphill battle we cannot win w/o community
My state just upheld a six-week abortion ban. I really wanted a second kid, but I’m terrified to get pregnant again if a pea-sized, four-week-old embryo is more valuable than my life. Add in everything else and I don’t even have words for how much this election sucks.
@Blue_Jello_Qn I hope you’re having a better day! Nothing too exciting here - just got home from tutoring someone and talking about how an egg with the shell dissolved can be used to model water moving in and out of a cell. Have you ever done that experiment? It’s pretty fun!
The secret to getting kids reading is the same thing that worked in the nineties. Reading Rainbow. Free pizzas. Shakespeare rom-coms. A million Jane Austen adaptations. Movies where a guy gifts his beloved an enormous library. Dog who acts out the classics.
