Just finished grading some quizzes. Unsurprisingly, my students seem to have done very little studying this week. (Almost all of them got the material we covered last week correct, and the material we covered this week looked like they'd never seen it before.)
You walk in worlds the others can't begin to imagine.

Natter 69: Practically names itself.
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
And what's worse, I can't even imagine it. That's how much I idolize Dean Smith.
Yeah, and I'm less of a b-ball fan than you, and I feel the same way. Dean worship is just so woven into the Carolina cloth. It's the warp to the K-hate woof.

Jessica, my mother thinks she went to college with your aunt. Bryn Mawr 1971? And my mother says my grandparents knew "the Ransohoffs" (which, not sure) well.

Nike has no plans to change the name of the Joe Paterno Center, a child day care facility on the World Headquarters Campus near Beaverton, in response to a sexual abuse scandal involving one of Paterno's former Penn State University assistants, a Nike spokeswoman said this evening.

Steph, for REALS? I know it's real; I believe you. But I am drop-jawed with disbelief. WTSweetFF? Jesus, the stupid, it burns with the heat of a supernova. DAMN.
I can't really speak about Penn State because my rage is so off the charts.
Yep.
When I was a college admin, I wasn't a mandated reporter. I worked mainly with students on academic issues, and as an instructor, I taught. That said, I made a lot of suggestions to seek guidance for emotional issues from campus psych services for various issues, and mandated-reporter at that job or no, my boss was amazing, and if I'd reported to her something similar, she and I would have been balls to the wall screaming our bloody heads off about it, hush-hush be damned.
God bless her progressive, hella smart, ex-hippie assertive heart.

The main campus also has a child care center named for Schultz, one of the administrators charged. It just opened a month or two ago.

Student body president addressing students now. "We are the ones that must restore glory to Penn State." And many many more repetitions of the "We are!" "Penn State!" cheer.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
"We are the ones that must restore glory to Penn State."
What does that mean? Is that supporting the student protest and riots?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Among the things I know how to do are a) call 911 on behalf of a stranger and b) hit people. I don't know what I'd do on the spot, but I'd like to think rape is more of consent to get punched in the face than signing a krav contract. I just...I'd hate to imagine living being that person. Like any of them.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
They should put off "glory" until they've mastered the basics of "right and wrong."
