Whoever the person was who used the Notre Dame fire to bring attention to Louisiana, they seemed to do it in a kind and gentle way--not criticizing people for caring, but just trying to nudge people towards a cause that is similar and also caused a great amount of loss and suffering (with less...

I once signed up for a conference section that promised "new, creative, and effective" classroom management strategies. The whole two hours was dedicated to teaching how to begin and implement a token system into your elementary classroom (for those who don't know, basically giving kids tokens...

An interesting thing to come out of this terrible event is that people sort of used it to draw attention to the fires at 3 historically black churches that were started by an arsonist (a "suspected" racist who is most definitely racist.) Someone on Twitter made the point that, while nothing of...

Watched Us. I really liked it. Like @Tress, I saw the big "surprise" coming, but I don't think it was even meant to be a surprise. Rather, I think it was supposed to be on our minds the whole time. When I left the theater, I was saying, "Well that was creepy, but I don't think it'll really stick...

Booooo, that sucks. I recently tried the hamburger salad at a burger joint. Their food was really good, so I was looking forward to it. Nope. The salad was an afterthought. It was mostly cheese with shredded iceberg and black olives. So gross.

The more I hear, the more excited I get. I love that it sound super different from Get Out, which definitely had layers but was pretty straightforward.

I'm a total chicken... scare super easy, and just the trailer gave me nightmares. Still really really reaaaally wanna see it in the theater. I had the same feelings about Hereditary, and I slept with a lamp on for a month. Man. The media-based adrenaline junkie cycle continues... *stocks up on...

Everyone I know has a favorite "plate lunch" place. If you've never had a plate lunch, it's basically sweaty, braised meat struggling to remain fresh inside a styrofoam clamshell nestled up next to canned vegetables and a slice of Wonderbread. Everyone down here also has at least 5 relatives who...

The internet/the world doesn't want women to have pores. @GasBandit you look pretty, if not a bit like a wax monster.

I didn't learn to do mental math well until I had to learn what strategies to teach my students.

Could be someone trying to get out of purgatory.

That sounds like fun!

I recently got invited to open for an all-women standup showcase. The lady who invited me is a comedian that I really respect, and she's been at two of the three open mics at which I performed. It's become a hobby for me, and I'd planned on attending them every now and then to just hone my...

Sometimes my kids bring me trash they found on the floor.

I walked away from a friend years ago. It was really similar to the situation Dave described. This girl was sapping all of my energy, and I stayed friends with her because she was going through such a hard time. After several years, it dawned on me that she was always going through a hard time...

I used to be super into 5 Guys, but the last 2 times I went, the patty wasn't salted *AT ALL,* so I stopped going. If a restaurant doesn't know how to use salt, they don't deserve my time or money. It's a shame; I loved all the toppings and the fries.

I stayed at 3.1 or above on the elliptical tonight! That doesn't seem like a lot but my endurance really took a dive after I had to start working out less. This is awesome. I feel awesome!

That is great news! Congrats

That is amazing!!!

Funny how many friends of mine who "don't get sucked into social media drama" and "choose positivity" and "don't think there's a point to protesting" are loudly banging the "boycott NFL" drum online right now. I get it. The call (lack of a call) wasn't fair. You've just now realized the NFL is...
