To all the trans men who need to hear it, it is totally okay to be a man. Testosterone does not make you evil. Transitioning doesn't make you a traitor to feminism. It's not internalized misogyny. Most men are good people, even if the bad ones get the most attention.
You are good.
You are good.

Teachers don't have time machines to tell what every student will find useful in the future - as though life is some process that ends in a fixed, easily-determined outcome and a teacher's goal is merely to teach things that lead up to that future for every child
![A comic showing a teacher presenting the quadratic formula, with the caption '"To prepare you for how much of adult life is wasted on needless tasks, you're going to memorize this, use it a lot over the next four years, and then never see it again for the rest of your life.' [sic, missing the close quotation]. It was shared within a post by the artist, who said "My cartoon in this week's issue of The New Yorker. Huge thanks to all my middle school and high school math teachers for inspiring this cartoon by wasting years of my life."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:c56dfqq2kropq4ys65h5pvgr/bafkreicyqwvnie4s5kzclj4s47pyp5g2wfngbqhfb75btaunmuyn5xlcqy@jpeg)

How to explain book bans to those who *actually* want to understand what's going on.
Conveniently, I decided to rerun one of this year's most popular book censorship posts this week and it seems like I need to just rerun this every week.

I’m convinced the “do audiobooks count as reading?” argument all derives from those mid-90s summer reading pizza challenges.
Folks - we’re all in our 30s and 40s now. It’s no longer a competition.
Go buy your favorite pie with your adult money and let people enjoy books however they want.
