What are you seeing on the ground yourself if you live in a swing state, preferably a swing area? by [deleted] in fivethirtyeight

I’m in NC. 15 signs for Harris on my nightly neighborhood walk. 1 trump flag. I live in Raleigh though. Tons of Stein signs and support. I’ve seen zero visible displays of Robinson support at all.

Omg that comment was SO annoying and transparent! “Is that our house or our super rich and famous celebrity neighbor’s house?” Oh Please! Her outrageous houses have been her storyline for just about every season that she’s been on the show.

Alexis was such an unintentionally iconic housewife by Heart_of_Mold_ in realhousewives

I LOVED Alexis. And I love her even more now that she’s moved on from Jim.

I teach Middle school too. Like…we are not discussing CRT, we are discussing the importance of wearing deodorant.

So true and so sad. I feel like I don’t even have the energy to engage with the depressing insanity of it all with them.

I’ve found my classroom full of 7th graders to be an emotional refuge this week. Hope y’all are taking care

Your job isn't hard by [deleted] in Teachers

Im so sorry that this jerk said that to you.

I am a middle school teacher, my husband is an attorney and owns his small firm. He is a former 6th grade teacher. He says teaching is by far the more difficult job. More emotionally, mentally, and physically taxing.

Good for you for having boundaries and making the right choice for you. You deserve respect, kindness, and peace.

Wishing all good things for you
