Well that's kind of narrow.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Nilly, I would be a terrible Jew. I have tattoos, and I like bacon too much.
Hey! That's the kind of terrible Jew I am!

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Hee. Yeah, I know. We're going to read Oedipus Rex, The Haunting of Hill House by Shirely Jackson, The House of the Spirits -- Isabel Allende, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, Bastard OUt of Carolina by Dorothy Allison, and The Great Gatsby.
I love all of these books, so I'm looking forward to this class.

Bad Jew, Allyson! BAD JEW!
Mmm. Bacon.

Um, sorry for the dumb question, but - what does that mean? I mean, I saw the list of the books, but what makes this class something with that name, and not just a general lit class?
Allyson, with all the charity you've coordinated, you can't really be that bad a Jew, tattoos and bacon and all. At least, to my opinion.

It means nothing, Nilly. I was given a list of classes I could teach as electives, and I picked this one BECAUSE it meant nothing, and therefore, I could make it into whatever I wanted.
And I want to teach these books, and write about them, and do projects based on them. And with TWO new classes this year, I really need to teach books I've read over and over again, so I will be able to actually SLEEP now and again during the school year!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Brad Bird's movies, The Iron Giant and The Incredibles have good mother-child dynamics.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Hey! That's the kind of terrible Jew I am!
Yeah, but you're born to it. You get the bonus points.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Chocolate cupcake #1 eaten. Kettlebell cancelled. Still watching Nemo. I'm liking it, but I don't think I'm feeling love. Does this mean offers will be rescinded?
Also, I have dibs on everyone. For the record.

I think if it's Nemo you're liking but not loving rather than the cupcake, all offers are likely still on the table. Mmmm, cupcakes.
