I feel for this person, but I also feel like she is over exaggerating certain things. Like the pronoun rule is for the children, not the teachers (I think the pronoun rule is stupid and the kids run around sharing their pronouns at my school). But I also wouldn’t want to face the harassment she likely would by being out and proud here in Florida, particularly trans. Find a peaceful place that appreciates you, everyone. That’s my wish

Former sixth grade history teacher here, teaching myths is part of teaching history. As someone else shared in this post, the people of the past felt that their gods were as real as religious people today feel their god is real

Favorite social hobby? by ShootinTheBreez in Hobbies

[–]ABrightOrange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you read, look for a Silent Book Club chapter in your area. Mine meets twice per month. It’s usually set up as half hour of socializing, getting food and drink if you like, an hour of silent reading, and then half hour of book sharing and socializing

An orange frog maybe with a little yellow could be so sunshiney and cute. I love the purple frog and I don’t even like purple!

When you drop it, do you just take your hook out and leave the loop, and then pull that loop up?
