While I'm in this body...

You know, when I've remarked that a lot of the responses to my posts feel like people are just plucking out keywords they think they recognise based on the shape of them and replying to what they imagine the post says based on that, the possibility never occurred to me that this is actually how many American schools are currently teaching kids to read.

Like, my assumption this whole time has been that when folks go "I misunderstood this post that says [thing] as saying [unrelated thing] because I mistook [word] for [completely different word that happens to start with the same letter]", that was a bit. What do you mean they're teaching kids a reading method that's tailored to produce this exact error?

i noticed my horrible patterns! i think the process stops there

hopefully i'll get to do something other than endure soon. that would be really nice

STOP calling women hoes bitches and whatnot you are embarrassing!!!!!

this is the first time in my life i thought oh i hope there’s music

“if i were you-” you’d collapse and burst into flames if you were me.
