No, really. My second graders want to know and I don’t have an answer for them.
The idea of stereotypes came up today in a way that needed some correcting and eye-opening. I talked to my students about sterotypes of natives. How some people dress up like American Indians…

I've been thinking about legally changing my name...
1) I really like it.
2) Some people already think it’s my actual name.
3) There are two Michael Lewises at work and people are always calling/emailing the wrong one.
4) I hate my real name (Michael Wyatt Lewis) because it’s so common, so redneck, and my gross middle name was taken from my racist grandpa, ew. I don’t identify with it at all and it makes me uncomfortable.

None of them hurt at all, except for the ear holes which hurt all the time which is why I am in a bad mood. The pain never ends
None of the tattoos have any meaning whatsoever.
All of the places I got my “sick tats” have burned down and all of the people who have “inked” me are dead.

I think if you’re the special kind of jackass who thinks being fat is something that is inherently funny, then you have to explain to us exactly how many pounds someone has to weigh before you can consider their weight an axiomatic joke. I weigh 207 pounds right now. Do I weigh enough for it to be funny to you? Why or why not? Can you actually break that down for me? If not, how much more...
I’ve had this annoying lingering sickness since before New Year’s Eve. I got a shot and a round of antibiotics but it never completely went away. I’ve been able to manage it for the most part, but I’ve been missing quite a lot of work and taking too much LWOP because I’ve used up all my leave. But all day yesterday was just terrible. The worst. Last night, I felt like...

Anxiety: A Uniquely Human Experience →
jtotheizzoe:
From “The Brain and the Roots of Fear ”:
While anxiety is defined by uncertainty, human anxiety is greatly amplified by our ability to imagine the future, and our place in it, even a future that is physically impossible. With imagination we can ruminate over that yet to be experienced, possibly impossible scenario. We use this creative capacity to great advantage when we envision...
ninestraycats asked: Hi! Speaking as a linguist, there is absolutely no wrong way to speak. Everything from "that's not a word!" to "that's grammatically incorrect" damn near infuriates me. I won't bore you with details out of the blue, but know that those who study language are on your side. :) And don't forget to mention this to people: using the 3rd-person plural as a...

Last night when I was doing my makeup I kept getting so frustrated with the sloppy job I was doing that halfway through I would take it all off and start over. I did this four times and I was still unsatisfied with the end result. Do you ever just have one of those days where you feel like you simply cannot make yourself look the way you want to look no matter how hard you try? Ugh.
Geeks
tylercoates:
occupythedisco:
I think the reason I find geek culture so obnoxious at times to engage in is because the people are for the most part the same privileged dips that inhabit mainstream culture, but with the added detriment of a victim complex. They’re still largely white and center their race, they’re still largely straight and center their sexuality, they’re still largely cis men...
