I still don't know how to fill out a W-4 and neither does my wife so I ended up owing about ~$1100 between state and federal taxes.

Unfortunately where I am you can lose your WIC or Food Aid if your children rack up too many absences so this is more or less going to be the end of any sort of sort of student lead protest. As for adding lessons on civil disobedience that's what the month of Febuary is for but only teaching...

Well in my lovely school district we've got orders from the top, either the super or the school board, no more student protests. Last week my high school had a coordinated walkout w/ school level administation and teachers dicrecting them to the football field where they had there chance to...

So I am keeping my head down, I'm trans and a public school teacher in the south. I'm getting voice surgery because well, voice training didn't take me as far as I hoped. I'm also going to keep donating to the local arts programs I already do and, G-d help me, voting Dem. in the election...

It's the difference between "Hey can you check my kids missing assignments" to "MY KID did the assignments, WHY haven't YOU graded them!"

Just got an email from the mother of one of my students. I teach electives this year and the general level of effort being given in these classes is dogshit. Mom asking me why haven't I graded her daughter's late work from two weeks ago and why is her grade going down. Like, Ma'am...

HAHA I wish! We're a 'bell to bell instruction' school. No movies, no fun.

I'm at work too damn early and am struggling with "getting my feelings on". I woke up late and haven't had enough time to mask my autism and introversion for teaching. So all the kids are going to ask why I'm in a bad mood and I can't say I just have resting bitch face and don't want to talk to...

It is sadly but the style right now is more night club on the beach than arctic. I've asked my girls and the stuff they do for fashion. IDK I was one of those JINKO wearing wanna be Goths so I have ZERO room to critique their fashion sense.

Dispite school personel being overwhelmingly women whoever controls the AC keeps it at ARCTIC BLAST all year long. Jesus christ I'm wearing a cardigan and need something heavier.

Got dragged of topic.

I would LOVE to use the district provided device, unfortunately it was never fast and when you get the filtering software, the DB connection software and whatever eldrich horror lives in our update pacts loaded 1st block is over and then the damn thing still won't let me show a clip from...

My school district after seening one south of us get ransomwear has decided to go with a very agressive security policy driven not by back end tech but by rules nannies at all of our campuses turning level 1 & 2 tech support into wanabee KGB agents. My specific frustration is this - I have a...

Training I'm all for, already have classes at an outdoor range and just running drills at the indoor range I'm a member of. I've also bought a 1000 rounds of 5.56 target ammo. As for the gun itself it's a 16" model and will absolutely shoot better than I will ever be capable of. I just need to...

I already am a member of a range I go every Wednesday to and have bought 1000 rounds of cheap 5.56 for training with. As for the "is this a concern," well to me it is. I'm a clocky Jewish Transwoman. Enough of my family got wiped out in the 2nd world war for me to have any intrest in going to...

Regular low recoil federal flight control is my go to - soft shooting but still has the velocity to penetrate at the range I need, ~15" at 20 yards.

As far as guns I like I have a 10/22 take down in a magpul stock and an upgraded... everything. It's just stupid fun to plink and tinker with. For a mouse gun/take the dog for a walk at 2am gun I have an LCR .22 that I've slicked up and poilished the internals on, put a light on it, and a...

I'm trans, live in the deep south with my wife, and we're active in LGBT spaces so with all the unpleasantness and general panic at what Trump's doing taking over cities and a rewatch of the handmaid's tale, I decided it was finally a time to get a gun that wasn't a toy for the range or my...

This is actually worse than it sounds because while overturning the court case that allows for minors to be treated when you look at the language, especially that Roberts, you can see that non-conformity is no longer a protected class. That means they can come for everybody if you are nothing...
