I used to feel guilty about not keeping up in school but now, I realize I passed every test. The only reason I failed classes was not keeping up with homework, which... yeah, kids shouldn't have more work AFTER work.

I used to blame myself, and yeah I should have done the homework. But, why did kids who failed tests still pass if they did enough homework and make-up work, while the kids who PASSED the tests failed if they didn't do enough homework/extra assignments? Surely the point of tests should simply be that they retained information?

And actually I realize the point was making sure you work tirelessly. Do you work in school then go home and do your homework then graduate and go work 2 jobs and pick up extra shifts and work overtime and get called in on your off days because they're understaffed and then keep doing that until you're too old to work.

Then, it made sense why the passed-tests-but-didn't-do-homework kids failed while the failed-tests-but-did-their-homework kids got ahead. They don't want people who retain information, they just want people who work.

I still should have worked harder, I just don't regret it as much anymore. Idk.

A MESSAGE FROM MY FRIENDS:

"Hello friends and comrades,

The Twin Cities-Minnesota tenants union are looking for as much help with their historic rent strike. There are actions that everyone can take, like phone banking, regardless of where you are located, to help with this historic action being organized in the city where Alex Pretti was killed by ICE.

I am asking everyone who is able in this server to join in on this and show class solidarity with our struggling comrade-workers and renters in the Twin Cities during their time of need!"

Does anyone have any weird favorite smells that aren't just like gasoline or sharpie? I do like those but I want to dig deeper. I love the smell of frozen cardboard and brand new hardware

[bishopony]

So far the replies on this seem to be either "old books and libraries.... Moss..... Rain..... I'm so weird I know" or "actual rotting garbage"

My favorite smell is walking past the nail salon in walmart

This works for everything by the way - school work, university assignments, resignation letters, fanfics, original novels. Everything.
