Not all those who wander are lost.

do you ever have a conversation and think “I am not heterosexual enough for this”

i think it's cute when americans talk about being from the 'great state of connecticut' or like 'the great state of wisconsin.' not when it's texas or new york or california obviously because then there's the fear that they're being serious. but when americans adopt that really earnest tone and are like 'god bless the great state of delaware' in response to a picture of a seagull swallowing an entire ziplock bag full of cheese-its. I think that's very endearing

Everyone's thinking "witch" but the owl was actually going as a cowboy.

Radical idea but I think all vaccines should be free for everyone forever.

The tags on this post have informed me yet again that this is a fucked up American thing and that many other countries have completely free vaccines.

My friend teaches high school history and allowed his students to do their chapter summaries on their chosen biographies as originally created memes. He said that he had never had kids read so carefully to find the most obscure detail from chapters to make their memes. [pro-tip, for younger middle school/elementary school students, make a folder of popular meme templates, to avoid uncomfortable internet searches}

This reminds me of my class watching the 90s film and when it got to this scene some guy in my class shouted out ‘hoe don’t do it’ and then 5 seconds later -sigh- ‘he did it’.

Shakespeare would have loved this 😔

#honestly i think having students submit one meme per scene/chapter of a reading would get them wayyy more engaged#bc you’re looking to find smth funny in the text#which means youre looking for surprise you’re looking for inconsistency youre looking for contrast#youre doing a critical reading!
