Snorf, to news in Houston-area teacher fired for attending drag show at downtown bar

“For almost 20 years, I’ve taught children to love each other. I’ve talked to them and told them, ‘You have to get along. God loves us all equally.’ And that’s the way we should be,” Maris told ABC 13’s Lodhia.“We should love everybody, and that’s what we’ve been teaching, but they’re expecting us not to do that.”

The radicals are winning in Texas.

Texas employment has been at-will since 1888 🥲

Definitely an asshole. That said, if it included some furniture, that could just be like, a sofa

SuperJetShoes,

Fun (albeit personal) fact: I’m a Brit who was sent to work in Texas in '96. I’ve still got a “Don’t Mess With Texas” t- shirt from that time.

Officer Obie, I cannot tell a lie. I put that envelope under that half a ton of garbage.

teuast,

I don’t think I can pick up the garbage with these handcuffs on.

I used to listen to that song every Thanksgiving on the way to my mom’s house, but my daughter won’t let me anymore.

vivadanang,

but my daughter won’t let me anymore.

? why not? It’s hilarious. My fam is all prior service or active military and we still laugh our asses off at the recruiting (MEPS) scene.

is there something I’ve missed about Guthrie etc? Happens, I adored Shel Silverstein until I heard the sequel to A Boy Named Sue…

Because she’s a teenager and they’re grumpy when they’re made to go somewhere for some stupid Thanksgiving and have a stupid dinner with stupid relatives.

vivadanang,

oh for a moment I was like… “shit what have I missed this time?” lol

good luck; I have a 13 old who’s sarcastic eye roll is fucking lethal, like, multiple teachers have commented.

Someone mentioned to me the other day: nothing I can mess up in this kid’s life (within reason) will be worse than the climate apocalypse coming. So enjoy this time.

Yeah. Fuck. But ok.

Lol as if i ever could have stopped my dad from playing it. He would wait till we were all in the car then turn it way up, only way to get him to turn it down was to take all our headphones off and listen quietly

I’m a softie. Also, there’s only so much complaining I want to deal with.

DanglingFury,

If you turn the volume up then you can’t hear the complaining. Non compliance is met with more watts. Old man ears are callous to extreme loud and can tolerate it better than any child and most woman. This is how i was raised. I also have tinnitus, so i too am become callous eared.
