Post-soccer drunchies?

No, we didn’t go out tonight. We’re going to meet up for a happy hour next week. It just occurred to me while I was commenting on a friend’s Facebook status.

I’ve been holding onto the “fair foods retail storefront” idea for a long time.

Note to self: Look into feasibility of “craft ice cream pub.” Perhaps it could be the “cold” addition to my long-planned drunk food eatery that serves fair foods.

"After spending all day in school, our children are forced to begin a second shift, with more..."

“After spending all day in school, our children are forced to begin a second shift, with more academic assignments to be completed at home. This arrangement is rather odd when you stop to think about it, as is the fact that few of us ever do stop to think about it.
Instead of assuming that homework should be a given, or that it allegedly benefits children, I’ve spent the last few years reviewing the available research and talking to parents, teachers and students. My findings can be summarized in seven words: Homework is all pain and no gain.
The pain is obvious to kids but isn’t always taken seriously by adults. Backpacks stuffed with assignments leave students exhausted, frustrated, less interested in intellectual pursuits and lacking time to do things they enjoy. “Most of what homework is doing,” says literacy expert Harvey Daniels, “is driving kids away from learning.”
We parents, meanwhile, turn into nags. After being away from our children all day, the first words out of our mouths, sadly, may be: “So, did you finish your homework?” One mother told me it permanently damaged her relationship with her son because it forced her to be an enforcer rather than a mom.
The surprising news, though, is that there are virtually no pros to balance the cons. Even if you regard grades or test scores as good measures of learning, which I do not, doing homework has no statistical relationship to achievement in elementary school. In high school, some studies do find a correlation between homework and test scores, but it’s usually fairly small. And in any case, it’s far from clear that the former causes the latter. And if you’re wondering, not a single study has ever supported the folk wisdom that homework teaches good work habits or develops positive character traits such as self-discipline, responsibility or independence.”

You didn’t think too deeply about this did you? Of course not. If you were prone to thinking deeply about things… you probably wouldn’t be a Feminist, now would you?

I’m screaming “THAT’S THE POINT THAT’S LITERALLY THE POINT YOU JUST MADE THE EXACT POINT” at my computer screen right now.

I love you, Internet. Even when you hurt me, I just…I really love you.

Dove hired a forensic artist to draw how women see themselves versus how others see them - the results are moving.

The results are misleading.

Titanic Sinks, Women Rise:

The Titanic was the worst maritime disaster of all time. More than fifteen hundred people died, including some of the world’s wealthiest men. But if the Titanic didn’t crash into that iceberg in 1912, women wouldn’t have gotten the right to vote in 1920. Thanks, Disaster!

Plus, it spawned a hell of a movie.
