Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Mmmm.....that one is tough. I'm agnostic on the question.

This week, 2 kids from school have been hospitalized because of alcohol related incidents. Wednesday, my student who tried to commit suicide was placed on a 72 hour hold. Today we did a search for alcohol and drugs. And now we are having a school lockdown.

What is going on?!

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I worry that disclaimers aside you would start seeing a lot of fundraiser submissions.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Could you post it WITHOUT the fundraiser information? People who felt inspired could easily track it down.

Punishingly Intricate

My concern would be the same as Brenda's. There are a ton of worthy fundraisers out there. Where would you stop?

Because books.

Or you could just leave it off. I reblogged it, and I know others are -- maybe I'll post it to Facebook, too.

Kat, that's a rough week. I don't know how you do it.

Yeah, fundraisers are hard.

Recycled Costumes.

I love that tumblr.

I dreamed about being at some fundraising dinner with Allen Leech and Whoopi Goldberg last night. (I am not sure where Whoopi came from in my subconscious.)

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Kat, I know I've been skippy -- what suicide attempt by a student? That's tough.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I worry that disclaimers aside you would start seeing a lot of fundraiser submissions.

Oh yeah, that too! OK, you know what? I'm just going to give that girl some money myself ad leave it at that.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

One of my students tried to commit suicide on Wed. I had her Best friend in class yesterday and tried to connect, but with 8554 things going on, I could only get a quick note to the BFF.

I'm gutted and tired today (I have a book hangover from reading through the night. Curses on Rainbow Rowell!) and am a little overwrought. I can't get into work email so I don't know why we are on lockdown. ARGH.
