I always hate the “teachers just need to teach” sentiment because I’m also expected to be a therapist, teach proper behavior, have empathy, etc, on top of teaching math.

btw, this is totally different from people being happy that people are suffering.

don't conflate the two.

i'm only specifying because despite the fact i don't think this will get out of my circle, the iq of the internet is in the negatives.

so go forth, enjoy the holidays and if you try to say "BUT PEOPLE ARE SUFFERING" i promise you some Tia is gonna come with a chancla and smack you into next year.

YES, I AM HER EMOTIONAL SUPPORT WHITE PERSON.

she's one of the happiest people i know but i also know she's fighting the fight.

i've had to come with her to things as a token white person and watched how people treated her.

and then i was like "so mom. you know we're in the 'let them eat cake' part of the french revolution right?" with some other words i will not repeat on social media because i don't want big brother after me.

my mom literally told me this morning she had no idea how evil the right was.

and i'm here like "you JUST figured this out?"

The big difference I can think of now is that I’m standing when I make them. Idk how it helps but it must have some psychological advantage.

His sister scheduled a conference time but he didn’t. I just found out he has a sister in high school.

He’s dead.
