Snake and Mouse

high school was literally exclusively horrible for me; there is no advantage i've gained whatsoever from having barely completed it alive. i ended up going to a technical college years later which would have accepted a GED; grades didn't matter. i would've ended up exactly where i am now, a biologist earning my master's degree. i look back at HS and i'm like ok, there was literally NO reason for me to endure all that LOL!!!!!!!

obviously it's not the right choice for everyone but if you genuinely don't know if you're going to survive high school, quitting actually is an option. look into GED programs in your area. (i also have several younger friends who were lucky enough to have access to online homeschool options after i graduated, so if your issues are related to bullying, disability, etc. you can consider that too if it's feasible)

Now, at 29, I’m lowkey having a panic attack because my academic email is filled with middle schoolers wanting me to answer their questions about pygmy raccoons and I keep putting off answering them because I’m so overwhelmed with all the other raccoon stuff I have to do.

Whereas the reality is far more like

If someone were, as a random example, say hospitalized for over two weeks with no explanation, I think that should automatically trigger a special election to replace them.

If you're still able to do your job, then prove it. And if you're not, then you're actively obstructing democracy by not stepping down.

Which is to say, that if a public official were to pass away or into a coma, and their handlers choose to obfuscate that fact, this should be seen as intentionally obstructing democracy.

But the kid are absolutely unfazed, arguing that "it's alright they will be together again soon". The normie are so sad for the "children clinging to vain hopes" until Morticia and Gomez get married again two weeks after the divorce.

In the meantime Mama and Uncle Fester fight about which one of them will go to whose custody.

They pretend to argue in court and at meeting with lawyers over the splitting of the properties but that's mostly Gomez insisting to leave more and more thing to his wife in an angry voice.

At home they decided not to talk to each other so Lurch has to (begrudgingly) transmit messages from one to the other, even when they are sat on either side of the table.
