SCOTT WALKER IS OUT IN WISCONSIN WISCONSIN HAS A DEM GOVERNOR WOOOO
THIS. IS. JUST.
I’M SO HAPPY RN.
Not only THAT, he lost to the state superintendent of the SCHOOL SYSTEM
My dad, a teacher who was born and raised in WI, hates Scott Walker with a flaming intensity, and he has been following this one closely.
I got a text at like 11:50 PM last night that just said “THAT ASSHOLE IN WI LOST FINALLY”
Hilariously he lost by such a slim margin he could have demanded a recount had he not passed a law denying recountsbecause he didn’t like it when people demanded recounts against him.
she’s cheer captain and i should really have realized by now that this song does not condemn girls for doing feminine activities or for what they wear but is instead about not feeling good enough because someone is the embodiment of a stereotypical cool girl and seriously just turn off the fucking radio if it bothers you so much
You know what really fucking bothers me about school in general?
It took away my passion.
Before high school I loved to read. I devoured books over and over, stayed up reading with a flashlight when I needed to know what happened next chapter, cherished every book and refused to crack their spines.
Now I can’t remember the last time I read a real book. In English class they would assign us Great Gatsby and Frankenstein and Heart of Darkness and Grapes of Wrath and I couldn’t bring myself to read a single one. Too many things to do, not enough time. Reading became a burden, not an escape.
So I just stopped. I stopped reading every second I had free time. I stopped picking up books in the bookstore. I gave away half my collection. I keep saying “I’ll get back into it soon” but it’s been years.
I stopped reading because I was being forced to read books I wasn’t interested in, and now I’m being forced to read 200 pages a week from textbooks to not fail my classes. I stopped reading because school killed that passion.
This is the exact same experience i had with reading.
