Just a horrible side of our society that needs to be exposed fully and ended. Great article on a sickening topic. I am sickened for these young women who have gone through this.

macabre = “muh-KAHB” Worcestershire = “WOOSS-ter-sheer” omnipotent = “ahm-NI-puh-tunt” reticent = “RET-uh-sunt” epitome = “ih-PIT-uh-mee” myriad = "MEER-ee-ud" Never make fun of someone if they mispronounce a word. It means they learned it by reading.

My penultimate text, but would make for a better tombstone than my latest: “Ok. Take care of yourself.”
Magistra Cohen (she/her)@magistracohen.bsky.social · 2mo agoThat sounds awesome. Unfortunately I have to run a meeting tonight. Just got home from working with D. and I'm resting. By which I mean answering emails.

for all you teachers, or anyone who still uses a printer, here I made this for your classroom or bulletin board or whatever room where you sit and think and sometimes cry and then overcome and persevere.
Happy “time to open schroedinger’s box and check on mitch day” for those celebrating
