damn.

The problem with being a HS social studies teacher is its almost assured at least half of your department will be conservatives

 

or football coaches

 

About a third of the vote statewide has been counting and medicaid expansion is winning by about 5%. And only one precinct each in STL city and county so a lot of "yes" vote yet to come. Starting to get hopeful

 

It's currently a coin flip as to whether poor people will get free medical care or be left to fend for themselves.

This country, man.

 

Fuck yeah!

 

lol true. Fat chance I’m ever gonna be one of those in the future.

 

“cancel culture” lmao

 

i've been told credibly that if you interview for a hs history job theres a solid 90% chance the first question is gonna be "what do you coach"

 

i hadn’t been able to find the good frozen taquitos until this week

 

Someone has to explain to me how a group of people merely stating a political opinion (such as encouraging votes against a despicable and corrupt politician) is an example of cancel culture, while condemning said display of freedom of speech (and in several cases blacklisting those peacefully supporting a position) is... perfectly acceptable? It's almost as though "cancel culture" has become the new "snowflake" or "states rights", i.e. something solely used to defend the vile ideology of right-wing America

 

hahaha. I can only slightly confirm—-I was asked what type of after school activities/sports id be willing to get into, but our principal asks that of everyone because he’s been trying to build the school community back up because up until about 3 years ago, the school had been losing students every year for like 7-8 years.

 

Love how easy it is to weaponize “cancel culture” as harmful to open debate by accusing anyone who disagrees with you to be canceling you, making no open debate possible. Great that there’s been hand wringing and media focus on this for three decades. Not dumb and bad at all.

St. Charles County is also a maskless covid cesspool though so let's not give em too much credit

(edit apologies to @DarkHotline)

 

SAME. haha

 

Wouldn’t that be something?

 

would be incredible and I was proud to vote for her again today but idk I'm not super hopeful

 

Good lord.

 

IIRC there’s a Tina Fey Weekend Update joke from the Bush era where his Secretary of Interior didn’t know he was in charge or “the outside”

 

Gonna be a lot to unpack in these numbers

 

69% in (nice) and Cori Bush is only down 1.7%!!!
