The last line of the article says that the family is responsible for the bills.

Literally the fucking Handmaid’s Tale.

By the way, black women in the US are 3.5x more likely to die in childbirth than white women are. How do you think DOGE and RFK Jr’s research priories will impact that?

The absolute best strategy for most reading comprehension struggles is read aloud. Active discussion is good too.

Or I also like to tell my high schoolers to be contrarian with the text. To argue against it, to try to prove it wrong, even to the point of bad faith. “You’re saying the book sucks - I want receipts. Tell me about it.” I don’t really have training in teaching english but I will happily pressure high schoolers into reading the books in English class.

Musk platforms Rowling. That’s the point. There is a concerted, multi pronged approach to fascism, where there is a large group of alt right weirdos LARPing as “radical feminists” have tricked a bunch of young women who would otherwise be organizing on things like reproductive health care or lesbian rights or workplace equality to hyperfixate on the same cause Elon is obsessed with because his daughters transition is a fundamental assault on his masculinity/desire to create a genetic space empire?

You can doubt my putonghua skills all you want and accuse me of not being feminist - but feel free to stalk me and test both claims. Sort by downvotes for the feminism, likely.

Random question -what’s your favorite book? I’m really vibing with your interpretation here.

I’m a radical feminist. I am gravely concerned about the fact that trans exclusionary radical feminism has co-opted the term “radical feminism,” despite some of the greatest minds of radical feminism recognizing that trans people are great for feminism actually (eg, Dworkin.)

I’m pointing out/attempting to call attention the fact that there is this strange community of crypto feminists who are mask off fascists, and no one seems to be noticing this disturbing alt right pipeline for girls.

I didn’t use Google translate. That’s high school level Chinese, I didn’t even bother using Pleco.

Once you incorporate networking, you’ve lost me. I’d rather implement ed on a billion NAND chips. Soldering is enjoyable and physical; networking gives me aneurysms.

你也不懂汉语？你的名字是”张殿李”？你说不说汉语？你是中国人吗？

你会写英语，不懂英语。

The point being it’s obnoxious that discussions of any female politician at some point have to bring up their attractiveness. It’s completely irrelevant to the work they do. I can’t think of male politicians getting the same treatment.

Woman: exists

Gooner: is for me?

“Radical feminists” on tumblr are calling themselves fascists because they are happy with the porn ban.

Masks are off, “radical feminism” was always a front.

For some reason you reminded me of this.

because it was mandatory to do some

Usually understood to be a violation of ethics if they didn’t provide you the opportunity for an alternative assignment btw.

Thanks for the explanation. It’s very interesting to learn about how others perceive the world.

What does understanding mean for you in this sense?

I don’t mean to come across as ignorant or disrespectful - just curious. A big part of my understanding of that passage is the process of visualization. When I read that passage, I feel it. It’s wet, it’s filthy, everyone is upset and I imagine faces scowling. That’s what “understanding” means to me as a process.

It’s probably some ASD-ish adjacent, but it just breaks my brain every time. It seems like there’s a large proportion of people who don’t seem to actually care whether they have an accurate understanding of the world or not? The amount of times online I’ve been able to show someone evidence that they demanded, and then they double down. At best they’ll go silent, but then you’ll see them making the exact same claim later.

In general right now it seems like there are a lot willing to call evil good, and good evil. Everything is backwards. The Moral Majority voted in a pedophile rapist.

I believe in your right to access gender affirming care (installing netbeans)

Flex Loans offer borrowers up to $4,000 at 279.5% interest, trapping thousands of people in debt that can land them in court.

Payday loans in the states are horrifying. It got so bad that the US government stepped in to limit the interest rates they could charge military members.

Certain tribes are exploiting regulatory loopholes and charging 600%.

Oklahoma prefers DUI hires.

Hey - don’t stand so close to me.

Nabokov is fun, because he had an opinion on basically every author ever. If you feel frustrated about something you read in an English class, you can probably find an essay by Nabokov reading that author to filth.

"Dostoyevsky's lack of taste, his monotonous dealings with persons suffering with pre- Freudian complexes, the way he has of wallowing in the tragic misadventures of human English words expressing several, although by no means all, aspects of poshlost are, for instance," cheap," "sham," "smutty," "highfalutin,""in bad taste." dignity - all this is difficult to admire. I do not like this trick his characters have of “sinning their way to Jesus" or, as a Russian author, Ivan Bunin, put it more bluntly, "spilling Jesus all over the place.”

Like c’mon man - if you don’t feel something reading the Grand Inquisitor passage in Karamazov - are you human?
