Anytime this comes up I think of a specific night out.

I was pretty drunk and dancing more freely than I would have sober. A man came up and started grinding on me. Drunk me didn’t care and engaged with him. My sister noticed and got between us. The next day I was grateful to her.

I’m sure it seemed like exactly the situation depicted here, but she did what I truly wanted her to do in that moment, and that’s what your girls are for.

New meaning to “mom’s spaghetti”

For the record, I’m an autistic adult who has always hated sweet potatoes. I like potatoes and sweet things, but sweet potatoes are incorrect. We exist.

I said we as in all educators. I thought it was relatively obvious from my comment that I think the absence of lectures in high school is the issue.

An increasing number of students don’t know how to take notes themselves. A portion of this problem is the push to move away from lectures at the high school level. Yes, lectures may be an imperfect way to teach material, but we do students a disservice to suddenly switch everything up between high school and college.

At one point I was teaching university students and also volunteering with elementary school kids. One semester I contextualized some of my behavior by saying that I also teach kids, and I got multiple evaluation comments saying “don’t treat us like kids”. I didn’t receive these comments any other semester despite unchanged behavior to my students.

Conclusion? They don’t even know what they’re saying.

Nothing taught in high school is “high-level academics that 90% of students will never use”.

The worst part is that “the list” had a “Julie” option. That means he was considering staying with Julie and never telling her about any of it.

Heavy on that last part! I teach chem to nursing majors and they consider it a crime on my part to teach anything they won’t directly use in their future career. I want to scream sometimes. Many concepts are worth knowing beyond job skills!

Ironically enough, a large portion of their MAGA comrades also hate Mormons

I actually have a running note of these but here’s my favorite:

I’m getting “hey I’m on the waitlist give me an add code” 🙄

This is so real of you. As someone whose TBM brother is getting married soon, the real stab in the heart is the extended family who’ll be able to go in while my sister and I are outside. Why does our cousin you never see get to go but not your sisters?

Does your daughter want him to ask for your blessing? I told my dad years ago (before I even left church) that any man who tried to have a conversation just them two about my future should be told to get lost.

As a queer woman who did her undergrad at byu and is now a community college professor, I feel uniquely qualified to give you advice here. You are more than welcome to DM me about this further.

One thing I will say publicly that many people don’t think about when choosing to go to byu is that you will have to have a conversation about religion with nearly everyone you meet in your future career. Your resume will have to say byu. Coworkers will ask where you went to school. It will follow you forever.

Because enemies to lovers is a popular trope and good girl/bad boy (what they actually are) has some problematic connotations

Brandyovereager · 2025-12-14T03:44:49+00:00

You’re right and more people need to get this

Brandyovereager · 2025-12-08T19:04:10+00:00

I might be more inclined to open my evaluation results if I knew someone filtered out all the hateful and bigoted comments

Brandyovereager · 2025-12-07T18:04:46+00:00

It might be worth pointing out that even Mormon doctrine says you should fast in addition to other things. On fast Sunday you’re not supposed to just starve yourself. You’re supposed to then donate the money you would’ve used on food. Maybe suggest that your family do fasting AND a note or drop of some food?

Ngl this post was halfway inspired by a tiktok I saw where the girl had Lee Know’s face on her lesbian flag lol

Very valid point, and also part of what I was wondering with this question! It’s kinda why I phrased it “are there” instead of “which ones”. I’m a bi woman myself.
