I think a lot of people have seen the insincere lip service paid to marginalized groups. Its a valid callout, but getting to this point required a lot of work through decades of rampant homophobia.

Its honesty wild how fast and far Americans swung towards accepting gay marriage at all

Calling out pink-washing is one thing but, like, if a conservative and “dirtbag leftist” use the f-slur im not gonna think “wow, nuanced politics” I just think “wow, two bigots!”

It also reads so lazily contrarian. Forever thinking of this quote

Yuuuup, a lot of crossover there. I liken math and science to art a lot. Gotta do a lot of doodles before drawing gets easy

My numeracy has skyrocketed since i started teaching

Minor perk for me but im starting to lose track of what a normal expectation for math competency is

Actually I do this and my habit of ripping out hairs was a combo of stress and being distracted by the fuzz touching more fuzz

With a groomed beard, theres a calmness about it

Chromebooks are used too often as a teen's only/first laptop too. A homeschooler I taught didn't know how to navigate a directory, or how to access a USB drive.

Til that point they only used their downloads folder for everything

The eternal struggle: a teacher who insists learning takes time & practice

versus

a student who thinks teacher is a dork-ass nerd who doesn't know how to get to the point faster

I'm always skeptical of these "I'm unique" kinda statements from hustle-culture folks

I'd bet money this is not a regular habit. Most of the time when people say they don't sleep they will admit to short bouts of "resting"*

*napping or sleeping but badly and ineffectually

Professors hate this one weird trick!

Even if it was, surfaces aren’t

A lotta people seem to think handwashing is a reactionary habit and not a protectant against how gross doorknobs are

But what about a tiny, sneaky vampire? A mouseferatu? The world contains multitudes

Momentum is so important! And dont be discouraged if you plateau. Often, we build muscle and retain water as working out increases
