When Breath Becomes Air is perhaps one of the most beautiful books I have ever had the pleasure and displeasure of reading. Below is a thread of some of the most relatable and beautiful collection of quotes I have ever seen in a one single book.
“Professionalism” maintain the status quo is so real in so many professions. You don’t deserve my respect if you are actively oppressing people and I don’t care what position you hold I won’t give it to you as if you’ve earned it.
@sergeant_stick@nobuniqqa@MEEK_ndhumble All of that said, I am a huge proponent of teaching more diverse Lit as well as lit written about the time and issues that students are actually facing (such as YA lit). I think classics are important to study style but beyond that you can get the same stories from other works.
@sergeant_stick@nobuniqqa@MEEK_ndhumble So definitely agree that it being labeled a classic without any context or analysis isn’t great. I also think that a lot of books that are classics are still classic and should be taught if for no other reason than to express how dishonest and shitty they are in regards to truth

@haunted4always Depends on the grease. If it’s bacon grease, you save it in a mason jar. If it’s oil from frying something, you dump it at the fence line (I.e. away from the house). If it’s grease from sausage you fried that morning you turn it into gravy. It’s situational.
Then my dramatic ass popped back around the corner and said “if I’m dead don’t wake me.”
And he, without missing a beat and completely unphased, said “ok, good night, love you baby”
Man is a saint I tell you!

Dads of dramatic daughters are saints walking among us as men.
I have COVID and my symptoms keep getting worse.
Tonight when I went to bed I said good night and I love you like normal and then I said will you check on me? He said sure. But I didn’t stop there. 1/2
Me having tattoos doesn’t make me less capable of doing my job any more than they type of clothes, color of my hair, hair style, or glasses I wear do. My appearance does not make me more or less competent when it comes to my job.
I think I’m going to relocate out west. I mean there are so many reasons to live in a place like New Mexico or Arizona.

2.) warm weather
3.) men who wear cowboy hats
4) liberal governments
5.) men who wear cowboy hats
Like I said, sooo many reasons
