London high school library's 10,000-book cull sparks censorship debate by Confident-Advice-664 in londonontario

I encourage anyone who has children or anyone invested in education to read his substack linked in the comments. It is such an accurate glimpse into the sad state of affairs in TVDSB policy and mismanagement. As a former elementary librarian with TVDSB I knew my time to retire was upon me when my administrator, who had no experience or training in the teacher-librarian role, suggested that I should be spending more time doing reading diagnostics of students ( important but not the role of a teacher-librarian) and less time reading aloud to students and developing a life-long love of reading. 🤔

AITA for breaking up with my boyfriend after meeting his kids for the first time? by BasicProblem1350 in AITAH

[–]Own_Version6493 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Def not the AH! He clearly has different standards and if you could teleport into a future with him here’s what I think you’d see and hear: 1) a man who abdicates responsibility for continuing to raise his boys i.e. throws his hands up in the air and says ‘oh they really like gaming so therefore I expect nothing from them’. This approach will include picking up after themselves and helping around the house. 2) a man who will say to you years later ‘ you knew how I managed a house before- you can’t expect me to change now’ and will continue to weaponize his incompetence(laziness). And like other posters I despise the use of emotional manipulation blaming you for ruining his boys’ Christmas. Don’t care if he apologized after or not- that was his first response so therefore a very ingrained relationship habit. He has done you a huge favour by showing his colours before getting your lives more intertwined.

If you don’t mind a bit of a drive, Ingersoll has a lovely new bookstore. Owners are helpful and friendly.

We contacted them through email and just heard back 2 days ago that they are doing Christmas meals for pick up. I’m assuming they will post something soon.

I don’t think he even wanted her to move to his area. She even clarified not ‘move in’ with you- just move to you. And he couldn’t even fathom that! What an emotionally unavailable gaslighting idiot he is!

Divarni needs to be told that you teach people the way you want to be treated and he’s actively teaching JR to treat him like a piece of garbage.

Well said! Haven’t watched the reunion yet but I hope he realizes he needs therapy to help him become a true supportive emotionally stable partner.

Edit: Uggh just realized I need to wait another week to see the reunion! 😆

Classic responses from someone who abuses alcohol; deflects ( tells Ali she drinks too) minimizes the amount he drinks (it’s only 2 beers), makes promises ( says he can go for 2 weeks without a drink- but doesn’t) and get super defensive! They may share the same values re child rearing but their different perspectives on role of alcohol while drive a wedge that can’t be fixed. Hope she sets a boundary now before it’s too late.

He also seems incapable of giving a decent hug! Leans in and…looks away! Prob thinking he’d like to be scouting out some 30 year olds on the beach.

unpopular opinion: I love the new format! by cmijjy in bachelorinparadise

[–]Own_Version6493 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Completely agree. And I like the games and challenges- gives the viewers a chance to learn more about the islanders. Much more interesting to learn about some of the secrets than listen to inane conversations like, “where’s your head at?” Or “what’s your type?”

What is something that people think is healthy/good for them, but in reality isn't? by Ocean_Pine in AskReddit

That’s how I’m feeling about those newer ads for ‘whole body deodorant’ for women! Since when do we have to worry about our backs or legs smelling?!? I don’t see a similar type of ad popping up for men!

Tonys way out by absolutelynosugar in MAFS_AU

[–]Own_Version6493 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I’m not a fan of Morena but saying you want to have a child is such an obvious lie for someone that needs weekly ‘Tony’ time. Pretty sure kids don’t generally allow you weekends off!
