My whole feed is about the man with Tourette's at the award ceremony and as someone who is married to someone with Tourette's, I'm holding back so much from replying to every post I see. So much misinformation
And I saw posts of people saying he shouldn't have been there but then you're discriminating against someone for their disability which is wrong
People with coprolalia have the tic that causes them to say inappropriate things. Tics are uncontrollable--involuntary. They can't help it. And a lot of the times, the tics are what you want to say LEAST in the moment like what you know to be most socially inappropriate

She posted this video in 2023 btw so it’s not recent. This is a well-documented thing that deserves more care than it’s currently being given.

Whelp my twitter just updated to x after getting a new phone so I guess this is it for me on this app. It's been fun! I'm sad it's devolved into a mess

I'll be teaching in a new school and new grade in September! I'm so excited, but with all that change comes a need for some new supplies. Please consider taking a look at my wishlist. Thanks!! amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3R…
My husband and I have been attending a new church (since Feb) that we've really liked so we took the membership class on Sunday and it was so disappointing hearing their specific views on certain issues. To the point where I can't sign a membership statement.
I finally finished sewing my sylveon plushie and oh my goodness I am never seeing with minky fabric ever again
Literally all of the quote tweets I've seen of this on my feed have been tumblr posts 😂
We finished our novel study of Hate That Cat by @SharonCreechx and my students all applauded at the end! They absolutely loved both Love That Dog and Hate That Cat. What a joy it's been to read both with them

Today marks the end of Ramadan. From my family to yours, Eid Mubarak. May you be rewarded for your good deeds.
Honestly what might drive me off this app for good is the fact that I keep seeing posts for a ship from a show that I don't like at all and there's no way to blacklist
Whoever writes the test prep questions for NJ, I have a bone to pick with you. This practice question is an excerpt from Absolutely Normal Chaos by Sharon Creech. The ? Is asking about the narrator, but uses he pronouns. The narrator is Mary Lou, a young girl! What??
