We hope @ascherlucas will be our Valentine, because he is a total babe in #sugarpill #felinefancy collection 💕

I’m an ordinary girl from the rural lands of Pennsylvania. My family wasn’t rich or famous. My dad was a mechanic and my mom stayed at home. I was lucky enough to be born into a supportive family who said Yes to me following my dream of being a Rockstar. Now, Twenty years later I’m in this incredible position to spread positivity around the world with my music and what I stand for as a person. And This isn’t something I went after, or expected. But for some reason you all feel like I’m more than just a musician on a stage to you. This makes me feel so honored. I’m humbled by your trust in me. You trust me with your deepest darkest secrets, you cry on my shoulder, you open up your heart and let me live in there. For some of you you’ve shared more of your insides with me than your own families and lovers. I hope you know that you can always wear your insides on the outside with me. I’m always going to be here for you. Like I said, I’m only human, a nobody…. but you make me feel like a superhero. I will never take that for granted, and I will always use the powers you’ve given me for good. Cause we all need each other! My lines always open! Feel free to write me privately in my Tumblr inbox. Much love in the name of Rock n Roll! Lzzy Hale

This is so me it’s not funny.

wiktionary spills the tea on this fine monday

A student in Massachusetts constructed a swastika in the hall. Two teachers talked about it (one by broaching the topic of antisemitism in class, the other in private conversations with teachers and another student); a third rescinded her letter of recommendation for the student (contacting colleges to explain why). All three teachers have now been disciplined by the school. The first two teachers received disciplinary letters, the third has been suspended from teaching. This is outrageous. I can – barely – wrap my head around some discipline for the two “talkers” on student privacy grounds if (a) they mentioned the swastika-creating student by name and (b) it was not generally known that he was the perpetrator. I still would be very, very dubious, but I can see a superficially not-entirely-frivolous rationale there. But the suspension of the teacher who rescinded her letter of recommendation is far more troubling. While we don’t often talk about “academic freedom” in the context of secondary school, it does exist and this is a great example of it. A teacher’s decision to recommend a student for college or a job is an exercise of their personal judgment as academics and directly puts their reputation on the line. There can be no obligation to “go to bat” for a student if the teacher has lost confidence in the qualities that triggered her recommendation in the first place. It is beyond unreasonable to mandate that a teacher continue to back a student who is either pro-Nazi himself or so negligent with respect to the sentiments of others that he just doesn’t care about the hurt and offense he causes. By and large, the story here seems to be that the school district wanted to sweep this incident under the rug and several teachers declined to assist it in doing so. And when the perpetrating student’s mother called and complained, the district swung into action to ensure that his not-right to have a favorable recommendation wasn’t jeopardized just because he threw up some Nazi symbolism. It’s grotesque. The Boston Globe describes the case as “difficult terrain”, but it wasn’t all that “difficult” until neo-Nazism managed to squirm back into the mainstream. The teachers here are unionized, and I hope they grieve the hell out of this one. via The Debate Link http://ift.tt/2l56QaH
