Spent all weekend helping my high school freshman write a 5-paragraph theme on Great Gatsby.
I fully believe that watching fans analyze texts on TikTok and YouTube has made her a better analyst than many of my former college freshmen were.
This is a fully unbiased opinion, of course.

We don't talk nearly enough about this.
Friendly reminder that offering economic support for elderly caregiving costs was part of Kamala Harris's platform. As in, she talked about "the sandwich generation" every god damn day.
“For too many in America right now, this holiday season is hardly about the art of care and joy of giving. Not when the cost of caregiving itself is a national crisis.”

I just started singing with a choir for the first time in my life. It's pretty incredible as far as experiences go. Didn't realize how good it would feel.

Listening to a novel a friend wrote and the narrator just described something her boyfriend says as “the lighthearted ignorance of the non-creative” and I just think that’s so brilliant I want to tell my friend but it feels weird to compliment an author directly.

Picked up my kid from school just now and told her that she has autism because I had a headache when I was pregnant.

I am really learning that normal people know practically nothing at all about Groypers.
I'll tell you, I have been wondering for YEARS how the Right has been able to get away with pretending they're the normal ones and we're all crazy. This is how.

For those who dont follow right wing media, they have January 6th'd the Charlie Kirk murder.
They all believe it was transgender or radical leftist etc and refuse to talk about Groypers.
It's a cult. Lost.
Concentrate on informing and organizing the majority.

As soon as puberty starts, every young girl should be awarded a Fairy Hormone Godmother for life, available at your disposal for every random symptom and question you may have as your body changes inexplicably with every passing year.

I do a lot of my reading now via ebooks, but for a certain kind of academic reading where you’re trying to get a sense of the whole book while diving in and out here and there—spot checking, skimming, reading closely, checking citations—there’s no substitute for the physical thing in your hands.
