I'm on a bus! They're much less skeezy than when I last traveled interstate on one.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I am shocked every time it's brought to my attention that kids can wear shorts to school. Some people agitated for that in middle school, because hot, but there was no way. And my high school had a strict and specific dress code - pants down to the ankle, shoulders covered, no bandanas (because gangs), I forget what the rule was for skirts but I'm sure there was one, no hats indoors, etc.

Yay for the non-skeezy bus!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
My school technically had a rule against hats, but nobody ever really cared about it.

The main thing I recall was no gothic lettering, as we had local gang issues. Forbidding shorts or tanks would have caused a riot.

My mother had to bring me a change of clothes once because I wore knickers, the kind that button under the knee. Everyone (including, as I recall, the vice principal who was doing the enforcing) thought it was pretty ridiculous, but rules are rules.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
-t, Matilda is eating a popsicle right now and was just saying, "I don't know why some people don't like popsicles. How can you not like them? Who could do that?" She is delighted to hear that you're on Team Popsicle with her.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
There was a rule at my/my brother's Jr Hi. Hoodies were not allowed because they were "gang related" (this is a school with farms on 3 sides). This was particularly funny when I had given him a Brown University hoodie. You know, from that Ivy Gang.
