I am voting because there is a person running who in the chat transcripts really concerns me because it is anti language and I do not fucking want that anywhere near the board.

STOP!!!!!!!

mrs cratchit would have been working too, in a factory, at-home piecework, and keeping house which in reality they likely would have shared with two or three other families and slept on the floor in shifts because there wasn't enough square footage for everyone to lie down at once. none of the cratchits are turning to alcohol to deaden the pain, none of the children are dosed with opium so the crying from hunger stops. neither mrs cratchit nor the children are engaged in sex work for just a little bit more money. none of them have their faces eaten away by syphilis. none of them are dying of cholera or tuberculosis. dickens' poverty is there for the moral betterment of wealthier people, not an accurate reflection of the real lives of the destitute. because the cratchits aren't destitute. they're the pretty kind of poverty, the worthy poor. bob can read and write, he's had schooling. he's a "better kind" of working man. he's on the same 'level' as scrooge. the real poverty is the twisted forms under the ghost of christmas present's robes by all means be angry at our poverty now! please be angry at our poverty now! the money is there for everyone to live a comfortable life, children to go to school, and only the minimum of work or no work at all. we have the idea of a civic society that is reciprocal. so many things are automated now, people don't need to toil to survive; it is distribution that is the issue. but do not gloss over exactly how horrible industrial cities were before all the work of unions and reformers made them livable.

The confusion runs so deep by the time Ron starts that Snape once takes points off Slytherin for Ron fighting with Malfoy.

“?????”

When asked about this theory, Fred/George subtly insinuates that he used Polyjuice Potion so that there could be multiple versions of himself at once. This goes around the Hogwarts Rumor Mill like fire. The Weasley family says nothing to dispute it, not even Percy.
