So many friends I know w little ones would get a babysitter for the night and have a hotel room mini getaway. This is so gross
A Hampton Inn in Asheville just canceled my family's reservation because our address (incorrectly) showed Asheville—and the hotel bars locals within 50 miles.
When I asked why, they said, "because of our homeless population," adding that most hotels here have similar policies.
This is outrageous.

Back in our cave-dwelling days, I am convinced pedophiles were beaten to death on site. This served as a public warning and created lore. Bring it back.
"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

Once again, a fancy conference where folks are paying $1000+ a head has invited me to keynote and has offered me... "exposure." No I do not want to mingle for opportunities. I want to do my thing and come home and get paid. Stop bothering me.

12YO girl signed up to do “stand up comedy” at the talent show. 13YO boy decided to heckle her. Teacher started to tell the boy to leave her alone, but the 12YO comedian said “no, no, let him go, this is the closest he’s ever going to get to having a conversation with a girl.”
What's an insult you'll never forget?

AOC and her team prepared hundreds of backpacks for the start of school. Kat doing mutual aid when so many folks are suffering is fabulous. Maybe she'll win, maybe not, but can you imagine if every Dem running was doing mutual aid for those in need? Stop clutching your pearls folks.

It is EXHAUSTING not only being made responsible for coming up with new kinds of assignments for our students; it's also tedious reading op-eds that suggest the core problem is a crisis in teaching. But, as Chris and I lay out here, this isn't a crisis in teaching; it's an attack on learning.

Mediocre dudes want to show up and get flowers on arrival, it takes a decade *minimum* of grinding to begin to feel some ease, and look at the ages of those who have a lot of buddies... it starts with building community and solidarity with those at your stage. Worst case scenario: wonderful friends
They have come to the convention hoping to "break in" and then find themselves -- shocker! -- a "nobody in the book world." Yeah no shit! We all are! I have gently told guys like this a million times that it takes most of us *years* of hard work but they do not believe that could be true for them. +
