With #california school staff striking for pay increases, it’s a good time to remind ourselves of where we stand in terms of per-pupil spending: 20th in the nation. I frequently hear misinformation on this, that we already spend the most and money isn’t the problem, blah blah. It’s Prop 13. It’s always been Prop 13.

@RainofTerra won’t someone think of the rich white males who think that any mention of race is racism? I hate that attitude. It’s so self-serving for the race with the most privilege to want to ban all thought or speech about race, making their privilege invisible and unmentionable. And they think we can’t see this plain as day.

@NoelJPenaflor such a great and weird movie. An elementary school teacher of mine in the 80s mentioned it to class as the scariest movie of all time - never watch it, she said. Of course I did, as a grownup. The weird armpit sniffing sex scenes were the scariest part.
@CIA dude fuck this account.
@leigh I don’t really think you ever engaged, so we can’t even achieve that.
@leigh if Reddit isn’t a useful example to discuss then Twitter is a terrible example to discuss. If subreddits and stack exchange instances are wildly different then Twitter is entirely irrelevant.
@zackkatz “I know Kung Fu.”
@leigh that’s a non-sequitr. Weren’t we talking about appeal resolution speed?
