Jlajdjskscn adding on to this bc I feel I didn't explain my position clearly and I don't want people to assume things: I feel that gun control and reform is incredibly necessary, at least where I live in the U.S. We have a mass shooting a day almost, and more school shootings than should ever be tolerated. Most students(myself included) go through lockdown drills and get training on what to do in case of a school shooter, and are afraid that they may be the victims one day. This said, I also hunt and bench shoot for fun, and my dad taught me how to use both a rifle(to hunt/bench shoot) and a handgun in case I ever need to defend myself. We definitely need frequent mental health and gun safety knowledge checks, as well as a gun safe requirement. However, eliminating all guns is not the solution as people use them for many things other than murder. And sure, in a utopian world we wouldn't need guns for war or self defense, but that's the world we live in. Also yikes sorry for gettin all political on ya I just have very strong feelings on this issue
I think a lot about how kids think they don’t like learning and about how wrong they are about it.
Kids love learning. They’re biologically hardwired to love learning. They just think they hate it because half of what gets taught in schools is irrelevant to real life and not hands-on activities.
Kids might say they hate school and learning. But like ask any kid if they want to be shown how to make fire turn green. Ask any kid if they know about real life Dracula. Ask any kid if they want to hear about how strong a tiger is. They’ll want to learn about it.
When I was in third grade, my entire class started this weird black market inside our desks where everybody sold different things and we used broken pencil leads as currency. I sold pet erasers I think, they were just erasers with faces drawn on them. Obviously we got in trouble and weren’t allowed to do it anymore, but imagine if our teacher had stopped our boring curriculum to teach us about economics through the lens of the weird businesses we had created? It would have been amazing. We would have loved it.
Kids don’t hate learning. School is just bad.

So outside of our house we have a couple of trees, and occasionally doves will make their nests in them. About 10 years ago, some mother dove had nested in one of the trees, and when we went outside to go to school and work, we noticed that the nest had fallen of the tree, and the two baby chicks were just,,, laying on the ground. So my dad took a small basket, nailed it to the tree, and put the nest back in. He then scooped the chicks up ever so gently and placed them in their new, secure, nest.
Both of the babies lived, and every year a mother dove will come to roost in the secure nest my dad built. We like to think the new dove is the baby of the old dove, coming to live in the family nest.
So this year, as usual, a mother dove comes to incubate her eggs in the nest. However, this year has been particularly rough and the tree has not grown leaves yet and there is minimal shelter for the bird. It's also been very rainy and cold.
So every morning my dad, this strong, tough, jaded man, goes put to check on the dove and talks to her. Things like,
"Ya made it through the night huh? I know there's not a lot of cover for ya," "It was extra rainy, but yer still doin a good job hun," "I bet yer babies'll be big and strong,"
And it is the sweetest thing to see my dad talk to these birds every morning

Dear Trump,
Could you maybe fucking not for two days? Do you not realize your actions impact other people? Innocent people? Of course you don't. You've shown us time and time again all you care about is money. And now your actions will hurt innocent families. You like it when there's war, because it keeps you in power. And it doesnt affect you, of course. You're not an Iranian child targeted by bombs. You're not an American soldier fighting a pointless, cruel war. Nothing matters to you except re election. You speak of wanting to get our soldiers out of the middle east, and yet you pull things like this as a political stunt. You are selling the Americans nationalism and militarism tied up in a pretty bow, disguised as patriotism and love for the country. And I hope we do not accept it. You are a disgusting man, and I hope one day you realize your actions have consequences.
Y'all I really dont deserve my great grandma. Me and my brother went to visit her today with some great aunts and uncles, and I was leaning down to give grandma a hug, and one of my great aunts said, "dont you think those shorts are a little bit too short for a young lady?" And my 86 year old great grandma went, "oh, shes fine Elaine, those shorts look quite nice on her," and then she gave me another hug and whispered, "Grandma's always on your side," and idk why but that hit my in the feels and my great grandma is too good for this world
