@AshsToAshs_ I was in the middle of teaching a lesson on propaganda, but my 11th graders turned it into conspiracy theories about the alert. 😖

@lilsimsie I'm so sorry, losing a pet is like losing a little piece of yourself. Take comfort in the fact that he's no longer in pain or struggling and that you gave him a very full life. ❤️

@heymrsbond As cheesy as it is, I love "summer camp" style competitive games. Like hoola hoop relay. Etc. Or like "drinking games" but obviously change the rules for school friendly atmosphere.

@bopitinventor Yo! Settle an argument for us; was there ever a bop it with a fan to blow? I remember it being blue.

Rome crushes its all-time temperature record by two degrees--two degrees *Celsius.*
That's statistically...crazy. But it shows we're living on a new planet

@heymrsbond The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy. Never had any exposure to Indian culture/people in the isolated place I grew up and it was really important to broadening my limited horizon.

@AshsToAshs_ But do you have an astigmatism? It's super annoying to be like, oh everyone doesn't see light in starbursts?

@meetmissandrews I always like Canterbury Tales because each vignette can be self contained.

@Stumptgames These guys for sure! The sass!

@CartNarcs Reporting a cart crime in Walmart parking lot! These assholes took all their drinks out of the boxes, then left their cart full of the trash. #lazybones

@PeachyAenne Obviously the "haters" were too shy to ask for such games. It's a weird way to get their wish list across, but hey let's entrepreneur this!

[Emily Martin @librophile926]

@kellbot Absolutely! I think you've nailed it. And how we don't look out for our vulnerable populations. There was a gimmick where violent gangs would use a "lost" child for luring unsuspecting women to traffick. Sucks that we have been trained to be skeptical of kindness.

[Emily Martin @librophile926]

@kellbot You're right. I used CPR as a bad example of an emergency. Just saying that I wouldn't want to do anything to further agitate a situation. If she fell and broke her hip getting her to stand on it would be beneficial or necessary.

[Emily Martin @librophile926]

@AltheaDawn2 @AtsukoComedy That's a lot of assumptions about a stranger you've never met. All I'm saying is people help at their comfort level, right. And at their ability/skill level. If you think that makes me a bad person, sorry I've upset you.

[Emily Martin @librophile926]

@taegibop_ @AtsukoComedy Appreciate it!

[Emily Martin @librophile926]

@mdwss_ @AtsukoComedy I'm sorry you see it as an excuse. Kinda mean to assume I'm being callus. I'm not a trained medical professional and didn't say I'd point and laugh as I walked in to get my groceries.
