Cats is a famous musical and some dork decided to produce a film with creepy looking furry people (starring taylor swift for example)

Oh, I don't care about Taylor Swift, but still... That thing I saw scare me.

It's just... Awful, IT'S NOT A GOOD MIX. NOT AT ALL.

I??? Do not like school??? 

I love learning. I love reading about things I’m interested in, and I love watching science documentaries, and I used to love fractions when I was little, and I adore reading. 

Now, an ideal school would let me do that. 

(In fact, I’m writing this while watching a science documentary in class. I’m actually having some fun right now, even though I know most of the facts already. So let me start this off by saying some things in school are fun. I like watching videos in science, which we do a lot. I like reading Shakespeare in english, which is something I never would have done if it weren’t a required thing, and I never would have discovered that I like it! I like debating different things and learning new facts from my peers during those debates. I like writing in Creative Writing and Journalism, two classes that I would never have qualified for in freshman year unless my english teacher had put a good word in for me, which he did! And so much more...) 

But school ruined learning for me. If it were just during school, it would be tolerable. I would deal with listening to things I’m not interested in, if I could go home and focus on reading up on Darwin’s finches, or on Normandy and D-Day, or brushing up on my Shakespeare! I could go through a book a day, I could memorize passages from plays I like and audition at the local theatre company. I could swim a mile every day if I wanted. I could practice piano, I could sing, I could go outside and run around if I wanted. 

But I can’t. I can’t live my life the way I want to. I’m stuck at home, slaving away for six hours a night on repetitive homework about circumferences and chords and diameters, on formulas that I’ve memorized already. Each problem takes maybe two minutes to do, but when you have fifty of them, that’s almost two hours!

Then add another hour and a half of bookwork on the Depression, work where I have to base an entire paragraph on a fragment of a sentence in the text. That’s torturous, and not even the only history homework I have! I mean, that’s what I get for taking an AP course, and it’ll be worth it when I pass the test and get college credit, but it’s slightly annoying. 

Learning a language is hard, too. I enjoy Spanish, I really do, but I haven’t learned nearly enough this year as I did back in middle school, with a better teacher. I’m dropping Spanish next year, but not for an easier course—I’m going to be taking some psychology and a criminal justice class. Fun. 

I used to know so much about the world around me. I used to be able to care about beluga whales and mako sharks, about red-eyed tree frogs and green mambas, and so much more. But now my brain is stuffed full of useless information about the Sussex Pledge and Henry Clay, and I can barely remember anything other than the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell. 

School wouldn’t be so bad if there weren’t so much homework. I could come home, maybe study a bit if I had a test, and then curl up in a chair and read some Hamlet. But instead I’m stuck doing homework for hours, and then going directly to bed because I’m so exhausted. 

That is why I don’t like school. 

I love to learn.

But school is not always learning.

i’m so mad about this safe mode update, because i know how many LGBT+ minors come to tumblr and treat it as a safe space and now tumblr has just completely ruined that for them.
