Guys… I know this is shocking to no one at all but I’m just so pissed about how horribly teachers are treated in this country. I do so fucking much and I can’t even afford to live on my own but on top of that I’m 21 and I’m frightened because my physical health started rapidly declining and I have to go to loads of doctors appointments and my joints hurt and I’m exhausted and standing and walking causes me pain now and I don’t qualify for PFML because GUESS WHAT!! Educators don’t qualify!!! Like at all!!
Like , I get paid shit. I am exposed to insane abuse on the daily. Im working in - I kid you not LITERALLY- mouse infested classrooms, I don’t get paid during the summer so I have to find other work, and I don’t even qualify for PFML so I’ve got to juggle THAT on top of being twenty one and paying rent in Boston and going to all my new doctors appointments and idk being in pain? And we can’t even strike about it because striking is ILLEGAL!!!! It’s literally illegal for teachers to go on strike here. I’m fucking tired of this shit I love my job I love teaching I love the children I love the classroom- this is what I’m passionate about and I’m fucking good at it and look at how we are being treated. This whole country is fucking SHIT! How do you have so much fucking money for war but you can’t pay your fucking teachers and get the goddamn rats out of the classroom. My kids don’t deserve rat shit all over their class and so do I. Fuck you.

I will return to not stanning politicians tomorrow but watching Kamala Harris destroy Donald Trump is like a religious experience to me. She's leading him into traps to distract him into saying nonsense about crowd sizes, pointing out how he is an adjudicated rapist and convicted felon, and just nailing every question.
I am smiling So Much after a really shitty day.
Now I understand why some people start riots when they win at sports.
This is the woman who made Brett Kavanaugh cry and she is here to break Trump like he's a glass at a Jewish wedding.

I think what I want to get into with the "Anyone can do harm." thing that I keep beating yall over the head with is that literally anyone, anyone at all can do harm it's not "in your DNA" to be an abuser or written in the stars that you'll be a predator.
Whatever image you have of an abuser in your head, drop it and replace it with your favorite person in the world and you'll probably be closer to the truth than you realize.
It's easy to address harm when it's coming from someone you already hate.
I see it happen all the time. Someone you couldn't stand for no real reason does something heinous then all of a sudden here comes the avalanche of "I always knew they were a fucked up individual."
No, you didn't.
There is no possible way you could have known, you just already didn't fuck with them before they started doing something you could use to justify your hatred of them. I'm guilty of it too! I'm petty, mean, vindictive, and yes! I'm way quicker to believe something bad about someone I hate versus someone I love because I'm human. Still, y all gotta learn to move past that initial "Well, they were always nice to me!" gut feeling and understand that nobody truly knows anyone and anyone can be capable of anything. Even victims. Even you.
