Margaret Atwood: ‘When did it become the norm to expect a porn star on the first date?’ The Canadian author on shades of feminism, the #MeToo criticism against her and Ireland’s ‘bad’ abortion laws

Ohh. Can you tell me where this is from?

Loved this conversation "talking shop" with another English teacher who cares very, very much about making conversations better—learned a lot that I'm going to use ASAP this year in my own room:

omg what if he kills him

If Donald Trump negotiates an end to Putin's war on Ukraine without Ukraine having to cede territory, I'll nominate him for a Nobel Peace Prize myself. www.instagram.com/p/DNWgZq8Jh8V/

Oh no! Counterfeits. Damn it. I’m going to get some of the ones you and others have suggested to be safe.

Thank you so much for that cert number. 🙏🏼

Oops. Sorry. I just realized that these are KN95 and not N95. Bloop!

Funny that the science writer needed to use a story, like a story from religion which is a humanities, to prove his point that the sciences, which is a story of how the world works, have nothing to do with the humanities and stories.

They do it every time.

Also, I am afraid. I am very very afraid. And I think we should normalize fear.

Because when you are ashamed of your fear, you can’t act, or if you do act, you act to shame others.

And it is this last bit that I learned from being reared by someone who talks like Trump at a press conference.

When I design some assignments, I will come back here and share.

Oh! This is fantastic! Thanks!

I am really going with a writer’s notebook here, but I’ve been struggling with how to bring it together with the argument work.

With fiction, I tend to really lean on characters as human beings having emotions and thoughts we have had, at least fundamentally. 1/2

When you have a family member who talks like Trump talks during a press conference, you know. Deep in your bones, you know. And it is a dangerous thing.

Thank you for this. As I teach AP Lit, I am plagued by the students who see the skill stuff as real school, and the aesthetic etc stuff as just me being a weird English teacher (which is true, but not the only true). And that comes down to assessment. I’m gonna try and change that this year.

This is fucking horrific.

This was a fun puzzle!

What a loser.

Fun! Thank you for sharing this. I’m excited to take a look-loo 🦄❤️
