msbelle, isn't that To Sir, With Love? It's the magical negro noble teacher!
I WAS JUST GOING TO POST THIS. Simpatico.
Mercy is the mark of a great man. Guess I'm just a good man. Well, I'm all right.

I could not for the life of me remember the title or who played the teacher. My google search was hilarious.

Hahaha!
Yet you're still doing a lionshare of parenting.
And yup, and I think it's enough.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Is there a relationship in To Sir With Love?
And, FTR, the provocateuse pecking order is:
- handson
- venus
- spectacle
- wetmen
- bestof
- barefoot
Which is not what I was expecting. Of the baby sites, it's beards, skirts, silverfoxes, which is again not what I expected--the numbers don't really align with the number of pictures in a usefully predictive way, except to separate the big boys from the runts.

Fashion dilemma! Going to a conference, trying not to check a bag. First night has a welcome party where one would make a first impression. Due to other commitments, I will only be there for an hour. There are events Thursday and Friday as well. Do I wear the really cute outfit to make a good first impression, or save it for one of the nights where I will get more mileage out of it?

Aaand then I thought a little harder and just ran over and yanked everything I could see (kitchen lights don't work) that wasn't in jars and triple bagged it. Everything was warm and inflated. Partly my usual late night industry, partly OMG gross, partly pure pity. I'll go over tomorrow to deal with jars and booze and bowls of destinkers.

Ooof, tough one, Vortex! Will you be there for an hour that a lot of others will be there for, or is it possible the ones you want to impress will have already left/not gotten there yet?
I am having a dilemma, because I do not want to pay to go to Cleveland. Sigh. My yearly drag conference has been horribly mismanaged this year, to the point that I wasn't really sure it was going to happen. And I REALLY want to see all my friends, because it's only once a year most of us are in the same place (bang for the buck!). But it's so damn expensive, and only for a couple days, and I worry it'll kinda suck...

I wonder how much of the Noble Teacher thing is used as justification for paying teachers shitwages. "Oh, they don't want money, they do it because it's a Higher Calling."

Longer hours in our system often just means more of the same. Instead of more of the same, how about more enrichment, more music, more art?
I'd be all for that.
I love To Sir, With Love but it is totally the magical negro noble teacher movie. And we've all seen the Saturday Night Live parody from it had to be the 80s with Bob Geldof, right?
