Wesley ,'Chosen'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
A state legislator in, I think, Alabama is saying that giving public school teachers a raise would be unbiblical. His ... logic ... is that if teachers were paid well, it would attract people who are in it for the money, rather than as a calling. Same guy is, as I understand it, for a major raise for legislators because not paying them enough leads to corruption.
Edited to add a link to the story.
I did not dream badly last night.
Thank you, Buffy on Netflix.

This type of thinking pisses me off so much. People go into business for the money, and no one thinks ill of that. People go into medicine for the money, and few people think ill of that. Teachers who actually want to get paid a living wage for what they do?? The complete and utter gall!
Disclaimer: I just took a second, second job for extra money because my teacher pay just ain't cutting it, so I may be a bit bitter here. (My first second job just ended and I need another one. My 3rd second job will happen over the summer. Pretty much, I have a string of second jobs all year long.)
See also nurses and child care workers. Feh.
IE, women's jobs. Women don't work for money, that's sleazy. They work because they're superior, moral creatures who have a "calling".

Perzactly.
also, attendants.
I feel rather ridiculous and Oliver Twist about this, but I just had a real moment of joy when I realized we now have two-ply tissue in the bathroom. For years it's been single ply, industrial-supply stuff, but now we've got stuff you might use at home. (I'm sure someone goofed and brought over a case of stuff from the Main Building by mistake.)
(could I use the word stuff more often? I'm sure I could.)
Random happy: I forgot how much I totally love Lush Ocean Salt. OMG it smells so great and feels so good on the skin. Lurve.
Glamcookie!
If legislators are so eager to apply the Bible, I wish they'd apply "If you lend money to any of My people who are poor among you, you shall not be like a moneylender to him; you shall not charge him interest."
