God I miss the Animaniacs.

Parents notice your fake friends before you do.

They dont always get it right

Maybe if they keep the garbage books for VIP the good books will be available for everyone

I don’t think y'all understand how round of this post I really am. I scheduled to reblog it as one of my “Favorite Posts of 2019” just a couple hours after I created it back in February

Who is she?

Where’s her Vogue spread?

thinking about when i was small, how my mom told me that pipe cleaners were just a tool until people started idly shaping things with them and it grew so popular that they were marketed as crafting materials. and that story about how the original frisbees were disposable pie plates that students flattened to throw. and how when i was a child i had a wooden mancala set with shiny, colorful stones, but on invention it was played with rocks and grooves dug into the dirt. and middle school, paper football and tic-tac-toe and mash and mad libs, games that just need pen and paper. and before that, games of pretend with pirates and princes and masked marauders. how at slumber parties after lights out, we used to whisper storytelling games, i say one sentence and you say the next. and shadow puppets. and the way all the kids in the neighborhood used to divide into teams and throw fallen pine cones at one another. and the floor is lava game, and the quiet game, and the games i play with my coworkers that are just words and retention. and "put a finger down" on the high school bus. and little girls clapping together, and how the first jump-rope was undoubtedly just a length of rope who knows how long ago, and how natural it is to play, how we seek play at every age and with any resources we have and with whatever time we can squeeze it into in a day. i'm not an anthropologist or a psychologist but i think after food and shelter and water and air what comes next is games and stories and laughter. i think that there is nothing -- not sex or fighting or forming unlikely bonds with animals -- there is nothing more human than to play.

I do not require my students to turn on their camera unless it’s group discussion time and they WANT to. We don’t know what anyone’s home Life or living situation is like, there’s no point of putting that kind of pressure on them

My teacher over the summer made the entire class time discussion, but the catch was you didn't have to have your camera on or even talk out loud, you could type in the chat. He would lead the discussions while keeping an eye on the chat and had that be a completely valid form of participating. It was the best discussion class I've ever had, because you could participate without pressure, people who normally wouldn't speak up felt comfortable typing, and if you had a thought from an earlier point you could mention it without disrupting the flow of the conversation. 10/10 would recommend to all teachers

Uhhh MC is equally as guilty of harassment also whether you want her to be or not

Mason's dad is a piece of shit and doesnt deserve rights.

Anon, never have kids

i’m not gonna lie, i really didn’t like mason but this chapter really made me see him in a different light. the fact that he understands what he and his dad did was bad and he feels guilt.... yeah i don’t think he’s a bad person at all maybe just misguided. idk....

Despite that he still continued to contribute to treating him like shit ever since he came back which there is no excuse for
