You know what I love about Maine?

It is not Indiana.

Bass Pro selling 900 series backpacks for $14.99. If you want the 1300 with chest strap, that'll cost ya $29.49.

Mother is not happy that you hate New Brunswick.

You had Pence as governor.

Indiana is not kewl.

Dude, you really need help. You really are just nasty aren't you?

If that was the case, then every other state in the deep south would vote more democratic than us. Politically speaking our rural areas and suburbs are less uniformly conservative than elsewhere. Portland isn't any more liberal than your average liberal city.

I think the appropriateness of sharing social media is up for discussion, frankly. When I was in high school, my best friend's mother was my government teacher. My algebra teacher rented a room from my other friends parents and came to their Christmas parties. My drama teacher held a summer BBQ for all the graduating seniors.

Saying teachers cannot share any of their private life with students seems needlessly cold. There's nothing wrong with a teacher relating to their students on a human level. Talking about the birth of their new child, talking about where they grew up, bringing their husband/wife to the school recital, etc.

Social media profiles can be very private, but often times they aren't. Often times it's no different than a digital resume, especially on platforms like TikTok and Instagram.

Tbh this push to dehumanize and automate teacher/student interaction is a really sad by-product imo of this whole trans debate. Is there a line? Of course, but schools are still communities, not factory assembly lines.

Mississippi ranks lowest on almost every List. Apparently making it large in Mississippi is just getting out of the state.

You guys are so fucking cool. I haven't been there.

I wish more people would say that who HAVE been here.

>Not every group is a potential audience for activism because you feel, of course, your message is super critical and HAS to reach them. Everyone will use that rationale - and has been - and its how oppression happens. Just take a step back and understand sometimes people in marginalized groups can cross lines too. She did.

Hard to disagree.

“This vehicle makes sudden stops at you mom’s house” is the best bumper sticker I’ve ever seen

Appreciate that reply. I have talked with him. That was the first thing I did. Figuring adult's can be adults but then he threatened me with "popping my effin head in* and running me over the next time I walk my dogs I only include his remarks to give you an idea on the kind of Neanderthalic thought process on this fake tough guy. You just can't reason with somebody who doesn't understand the meaning of the word reason.. or the meaning of word for that matter. scratches chin

I can attest to that Mississippi ranks pretty low on my list too. Top states are Alaska, Washington , Maine. Not sure about the order though

I don’t understand why state police did not go and find these women on Wednesday. They were at the Irving station in the morning and were already reported missing. They could very well be in a ditch by now with the cold and snow.

The timeline and lack of police involvement here does not make sense.

And definitely not Mississippi

>I remember many teachers in high school who would attempt to be “cool” and build relationships with students

Oh yeah.

Only recently has a concerted effort been made to put an end to these "relationships." My chem teacher, married, knocked up a sophomore. My US History teacher was banging a junior. Neither faced consequences beyond some well-placed comments from female colleagues.

Blue, as in voting, as in democratic. This was more of a side comment to your “dominated by Portland” idea. Politically our state often reflects liberal ideals because the urban areas in Maine vote. Anyway, doesn’t matter.

>In this case, a teacher is actively advertising her social media which directly brings minors to provocative photos? Not a great look!

Agreed. Should be common sense among teachers.

Prolly not Arkansas or texas

God damn cameras are everywhere here! (Not that I have thought of this)

No.

There are good people and turds on both sides of that political aisle.

>I just saw a video on Twitter of a male teacher that accidentally had his Facebook up on the projector while looking at women's profiles where they were in bikinis.

How does such a thing occur accidentally? Teacher needs to be smart enough to never have this occurrence be possible. Less of an accident than carelessness, imho, and should be addressed by the building admin.

I visite November of 20 and Bought 22 acres last summer. Surviving this winter has been fun. Wouldn’t change it for a thing

>When the story was actually "a teacher told some students what her tiktok handle was".

Given the content of the account, the handle should not have been shared.

In today's environment, a teacher's social media presence needs to be squeaky clean. If it is not, then why is the teacher sharing the handle?

I agree with the person who posits that this is less about gender identity than it is about appropriate behavior.

>She told the kids her tiktok handle.

Difference without a distinction.
