extremely funny when students get really into some harmless "vintage" activity to the point of absurdity. right now it's hacky sack, which is not something i ever thought i would see my students playing en masse. and yet here they are organizing competitive hacky sack teams. taking over any space they can to kick a hacky sack around. i had to chase a group to morning assembly today because they were busy playing hacky sack. just saw one of my students sending an email that said "stop adding randos to our team they're the worst sackers." 2026 year of the hacky sack ig
That explains the squad of teen boys I passed on the way home from work today. They were trying to convince a fellow classmate to lend them her hacky sack and on being asked if they'd make sure to give it back immediately burst into a chorus of "ON GOD ON GOD ON GOD".
I've never seen someone so serious about hacky sack. Pretty sure one of them saluted.
