So the shower perch fell off the wall today and Mia got a bit more water than she bargained for

The teachers had no idea how kids actually learned to read. “It was just that they do,” Ibarra said.

See, I read stuff like this, and…not to devalue the importance of teacher training and actually knowing how to teach…but part of me goes “But don’t you remember learning how to read?! Don’t you remember how you learned to read?!”

Because I do! They didn’t call it “phonics” to us as first-graders, they just called it “sounding out,” but I remember vividly sitting around the reading table and being taught to do that. Like what do you mean you have no idea how kids learn to read…how did you learn to read???

And then I remember again that most people do not remember very much from before they were six or seven years old.

And it explains so much.

Yet even children who study this “science of reading” rarely recall the painstaking synthesis of sign and sound that first alchemized tree pulp and petroleum ink into Desmond Cole of “Ghost Patrol” and Matilda Wormwood, Roald Dahl’s 5-year-old protagonist from the book of the same name.

At some point, for most of us, it just happened.

There’s another one!

(This whole story is actually very good, though, and you should read it.)

i think its very sexy how millennials are very anti-ad. like. ads were invented to encourage us to buy stuff. but me and all my friends? if we see an ad for something it fills us with rage. a pure hatred. if you interrupt my twitch stream or my stupid TV show for you stupid product i will hate you product for the end of time. i will spit on it whenever i see it. your ad doesn’t work on me. it doesn’t make me want to buy your shitty thing. it makes me want to piss on your shitty thing. fuck you ad companies.

I just discovered a band I'd never heard of by finding two of their albums in a mysterious plastic bag in an abandoned school building. Finally, I'm at the start of a fantasy novel

To make things even weirder they're called Vampire Weekend and they appear to be some kind of weird One Direction knock off from 2008? If forced to describe their music I'd say maybe soft rock, but honestly I have no idea. They're kinda good though??

you guys CAN NOT tell me Vampire Weekend was actually popular this is so embarrassing I'm going to take the high dive off a cliff
