SOMEONE out there has to have cracked the code of getting three kids out the door in the morning AND two parents ready for work without tears, right? Is it really just “hire a nanny even though everyone is in school/daycare because you can’t do it any other way”?

Loved this thread & it made me think of Mr. Natale (my 9th grade English teacher who provided the first really enjoyable space for me in public school) & hope that I’ve been this teacher for even just ONE of my students in the past 18 years.
I was not a good high school student — my mother died the summer before my 9th grade year, and I really struggled. I got suspended often for fighting, for yelling at teachers. Not a lot of people in the building believed in me.

Looks like I do have two invite codes on That Other App so if anyone wants them before this place X’s itself out, let me know!

Ron Perlman responds to the studio executive who said: “The endgame is to allow things to drag on until union members start losing their apartments and losing their homes.”
rewatched M:I3 and let’s bring back movies with big color palettes, ok? (Could NOT find an imagine without that dumb movie clips logo in it with the green light but oh well)
Listen I know being on strike is terrible but I also couldn’t be more relieved that SAG is going to join the picket lines. Maybe once enough expensive productions are shut down these execs will start to begrudgingly understand that there IS value to human creative labor.
Disney CEO Bob Iger, who makes $27 million a year, went to TV to say that writers and actors aren't being realistic with their demands.
When asked why these workers are being unrealistic he says, "I can't, I can't answer that."

I have two published books of poetry and I still feel like I have no idea what I am doing when I write a poem, maybe that's the point?

I’m not posting here very much anymore but idk seems like the right place to say that I have never hated any fictional character as much as I hate Claire in The Bear
