Aww what a cool kid.
Give him money back and just erase the damn lunch debt though. Its ridiculous that we have to have fundraisers so kids can eat
(I am in no way discounting what he did, that's incredible, its the fact that this sort of thing has to be done)

You are wording way better than I am today Nah we posted at the same time and you worded my thoughts exactly
I am trying to be more 'critical' of heart-tug stories that yes they make you feel good and give you hope for the future but at the same time, NOBODY should have to fundraise so kids can eat or so someone can get treatment for cancer.

Oh for fucks sake at that tree.
And stop with the "but we totes care! We'll throw some bias training at the problem!" This is much deeper than bias and a quick 2 hour session won't fix this.

It never should have happened in the first place. And they should be doing more than a 2 hour training.

Are we thinking this is going to be a short SOTU address? Given recent speeches, it’s hard to believe he could stand up there and read a speech for an hour.

OK I know we asked yesterday but where is dc2london? I just want to make sure that a weird caucus, SOTU and impeachment trial in the same week hasn't made her head explode.

It’s character building and teaches them to not expect a handout.... or some shit. It blows my fucking mind. My kids have bought other friends’ lunches because they saw them going without. One got his hot lunch thrown away after he went through the line. My oldest fed him. It’s just so sad and unnecessary.

How is throwing food away helping anyone. That poor kid. And how humiliating too.

Will there be a separate SOTU thread or should I look for it here? I’m not planning on watching but hope to catch Whitmer’s rebuttal tomorrow.

Honestly, I think the only reason I may watch tonight is because I'm curious if he will be able to stay true to the prompter.
My brain needs more zoning out though so I'm guessing I'll be catching up to Bachelor and reading Twitter/here.

I have such a ragey, visceral reaction to his voice. I can barely tolerate 60 seconds nevermind 60 minutes.

Typically I would volunteer as tribute but I have a 9 year old who is currently a glass case atm. I can’t wait for her actual pms’ing because I’m sure it will be a walk in the park. /s

I’m out tonight. I had cupcakes to decorate. Now I’m drinking wine and avoiding raising my blood pressure to dangerous levels by listening to that fucking lunatic.
