school districts and administrators are working hard to scare students out of protesting in the wake of the Parkland shooting.
don’t fall for their bullshit. you have the right to speak up and make yourself heard. a local superintendent doesn’t overrule the first amendment, much as they might like to.
and here’s an open invitation: I’m a teacher, recent PhD, one-time educational administrator (although not in a public school), and hopefully soon to be a college professor. if you need advice on navigating the crap your school is giving you or minimizing the impact they can have on your chances of getting into the college of your dreams, message me. I’ll help you find legal resources, write admissions essays, find ways to argue for your right to protest to your school board – whatever I can do.
please signal boost this, and if you’re someone who can help (civil rights lawyer? college admissions counsellor? experienced activist leader?), join in and let young activists know what you can do to help.
Hi there is no such thing as a “permanent record” outside of the legal system. Your school records don’t go to the FBI or the cops.
Also if you get suspended or punished for protesting, call the ACLU. There’s case law protecting the first amendment rights of students. They can help.
Not to mention,
“I see you got suspended. Why?”
“I got suspended for organizing/participating in a direct action initiative to address gun violence in American schools in the wake of the Florida Shooting.”
That shows an engagement with current events and an active participation in civil government. Trust me, colleges eat that shit up with a spoon.
In order to deliver on our promise to save America, we knew we needed to tackle our country’s biggest issue: wealth inequality. The richest 0.1% of Americans have as much wealth as the bottom 90%.
Our lawyers wouldn’t let us pursue our first choice – a campaign to eat all the rich people and live in their homes – so we settled for something more achievable. Today, Card Against Humanity has redistributed your wealth.
Using the survey you filled out when you signed up, we identified the 100 poorest recipients and sent them each check for $1,000. To see how this $1,000 is impacting these peoples lives, read their stories at CardsAgainstHumanityRedistributesYourWealth.com. The next 10,000 poorest recipients got a $15 refund check.
You got nothing. And if you don’t like it, tough titties.
I love you,
Cards Against Humanity”
I was one of the 100 to get the check from these folks, and holy shit I was CACKLING at the hurt people on Facebook. Some people only cared about their precious $15 when it helped the poor.
Congrats! I’m thrilled that some of my $$$ went to people who needed it.
I went to their website for this to see if info on the other days was out, and their FAQ is so perfect I almost choked to death.
Ginger, this isn’t good. They kept most of the money for themselves and didn’t tell anyone they were doing this.
They scammed people, kept roughly 90% of the profits (2 million dollars in their pockets) and people are praising them.
Just to break it down…
The money they collected:
$15 * 150,000 people = 2,250,000
Then what they donated:
$1,000 * 100 people = 100,000
$15 * 10,000 people = $150,000
All in all, they made 100 people’s days, and made another 10,000 people say “oh nice the $15 that I could spare is back,” and made $2,000,000 for themselves.
Basically they said “screw capitalism” and they got all y’all’s praise and 2 million dollars. Solid business plan, perhaps not something that a smart anti-capitalist would be praising.
You absolute dipshits, these were NOT DONATIONS.
WE PAID FOR SEVERAL PACKETS OF UNIQUE CARDS ONLY AVAILABLE DURING THIS PROMOTION, AND IN ADDITION GOT
-part ownership in a section of land along the US-Mexico border
-This
-Part ownership of a minor league baseball stadium
-Funded some classrooms
You absolute fruit loops, do some goddamn research. We paid for a product and got it, we didn’t donate to a charity.
I don’t understand how you can see Killmonger disrespect culture, attack women, basically was trained by military to tear down civilizations, his own father says he is disappointed in what he’s done, move to arm black people outside of Wakanda with high tech weapons (yes cuz giving Leroy and em cannon blasters is gonna help the cause) and y’all still fix ya lips to say he was right lol when Nakia exists. Wild.
I was waiting for someone to say this.
There’s a reason he was the villain. He killed his girlfriend in cold blood. His anger was understandable, true, but his methods abhorrent and destructive. The end result would have been huge amounts of death and chaos. No positive outcome.
[Killmonger was an amazingly written villain and a great, if not perfect, example of how to execute a “tragic backstory villain arc”. Due to his characters anger and Michael’s incredible acting it made Killmonger a character a large amount of people could empathize with. An amazing villain. Truly.]
Nakia LITERALLY was team “let’s stop having Wakanda be an isolationist nation and help the worlds oppressed” from the jump and she doesn’t get enough credit.
One of my players made me a dice necklace out of the dice he’s been using for months, as a thank you for putting up with him all these years, and I don’t have the heart to remind him that those were dice I loaned him that I kind of wanted back.
On one hand, it’s pretty cool, but on the other hand, *Borat voice* My Dice.
Everyone’s like, “Oh, they’re just cheap Chessex dice, dude. Calm down,” but you don’t understand. I have to buy like three fucking sets of dice a month because these little shitheads keep losing theirs and no way in hell am I trusting them with my Good Dice. I have a fanny pack full of dice that I wear to sessions because these fools suck so bad. I honestly think they’re eating them. I think they’re skipping them across lakes. I think they’re fucking tossing them at windows in the pouring rain to get their unrequited lover’s attention. I give these motherfuckers so many of my dice that they could hike the Appalachian Trail and leave dice behind like breadcrumbs. They probably pour buckets of my fucking dice under their tires like kitty litter to gain traction when they’re stuck in the snow. And I know they aren’t just keeping them because they’ll literally lose them mid-session. Like there’s a black hole under the coffee table. It’s an X-File at this point. It’s beyond an X-File. My dice are probably in The Black Lodge. My dice are in The goddamn Upside Down. They’re in The Uknown. They’re in the Additional Paranormal Pop Culture Reference, y’all.
Anyways, thanks for the necklace, Deac.
What I’d do is buy a Wiz Dice bag of devouring and then be like “look you lil shits, these are your dice, and when they’re gone, they’re gone, I’m not buying more”
No joke, I’d punish them in game.
“Roll to attack… oh you lost your D20, looks like you’re rolling a D12 then, roll high.”
“You failed your perception check. Yes, rolling a D4 for perception does suck but fitting since you failed your perception check to find the rest of your dice as well.”
“Alright, who actually has all of their dice today? Good, you get 500 bonus xp.”
I just slap ‘em real hard with a monster manual, but your thing’s fun, too.
The way I got into the rooster teeth fandom wasn’t even subtle like I watched 1 rage quit and that snowballed into 9 straight hours of lets plays and vs and play pals like I didn’t walk into the fandom I tripped and fell down the deep dark hole that is ah and now I can’t get out
