If I were Betts, I’d press charges. This is assault.

This is an objectively stupid thing to say.
New books release every Tuesday. Therefore, there is a near infinite number of books kids can read at any level.

[Justin Baeder, PhD @eduleadership]

Let's say your kid reads many years above grade level, as mine do and always have.

Guess what—that just means they run out of books to read faster than everyone else!

What's the goal here? How does it benefit the child to pay $$$ to push them even farther out?

academia is just making mental notes on how you don’t want to behave when you become a professor and then never becoming a professor

Crazy how nobody seems to remember that *kids don’t need to read books because in the future they will only encounter information* was the basis of an elaborate theory of change just a decade ago https://t.co/b0hdzvG42p

It’s such a shame the 90s bands I see being remembered are almost all male, when the 90s were a paradise of woman-led bands:

Hole
Belly
Garbage
Skunk Anansie
Portishead
The Cranberries
The Breeders

Who am I forgetting

You are using images of only 3 days ago…yesterday Ashville was not under water and aid is flowing quicker than in any mission I’ve ever seen….come and join and help instead of selling stories that are not accurate…

The funniest part of Bowen Yang gently making fun of Chappell Roan on SNL is watching her fans grapple with whether or not a gay Asian man has more privilege than a white lesbian who's way more famous than him.

Second funniest part is acting like 26 is practically a toddler.

The best thing about being young is you see that one woman who is so wonderful in that movie and then you learn she isn’t just from that movie, she’s an icon with innumerable works of genius for you to explore. I am so lucky I got to live while Dame Maggie was working.
