If your idea of greatness includes cages, cruelty, and repeating history’s darkest chapters, then congrats, mission accomplished.

And f*ck you!

They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.

Y’all gotta go read books. There’s no way around it.

Read books.
Form your own opinions.
LEARN THINGS.

READ BOOKS WHILE LIBRARIES ARE STILL AROUND

Every day on the internet makes it abundantly clear that some people have never had a single person turn around and say to them, ‘Cite your sources’ because, and I say this with every ounce of love I can muster as a teacher: while you are entitled to your opinion, that does not make it fact.

Please, do tell me how my fused spine and current hyperfixation on creative learning methods (seriously, the neurodivergent brain wants what it wants 🤌) is such a dire threat to American life.

"Oh no! She is going to rest her back after being excited about teaching for a 10 hour day. The horror!"
This commission statement refers to people with Autism, ADHD, asthma, auto-immune disease, and chronic illness as a “dire threat to the American people and our way of life”.

This is a manifesto against disability.

This is the language of eugenics.

I can "catch all the blessings" I want but not enough to accept "thoughts and prayers" style toxic positivity when my country is hemorrhaging rights and protections. Healthy anger inspires action. I'll hold my grudge, thanks.

When I was 25 I was sad I had not written The Great American Novel. At 55, I realize there's no Great American Novel, there are merely the stories I'm the best person to tell. Don't worry about how others see greatness. Work on being the best version of who you are and what you can do in the world.
people over 30 quote this with some life advice for the rest of us?

It’s important to be clear that TikTok could have stayed up through the inauguration. Joe Biden said he’d not enforce the law.

They made a choice to shut down and display a pro-Trump message. They weren’t forced to.

Let them be mad.
Let them judge you.
Let them misunderstand you.
Let them gossip about you.
Let them ignore you.
Let them be right.
Let them doubt you.
Let them hate you.
Let them run your name in the ground.
Let them make you out to be the villain.

But never let them make you question your worth.
