"If you love your job then there is, I think,...
I have so much work to do I don’t even know where to start and I haven’t even got grading on my ‘to do’ list.
But Gove doesn’t think teachers work hard enough.
Well, it’s 7:15 at night. I got home at 6:30pm after working till 6pm (from 7:30am, with no lunch break and a 15 minute break in the morning) and I’ve got, probably, another 3 hours work to do....

Valentine’s Day it’s an excuse to buy crap. This capitalist holiday makes people feel like shit if they’re single, because no other holiday singles people out so acutely. For example, everyone has a birthday at some point during the year. But not everyone is paired. Why this single day is supposed…
I’M NOT OKAY WITH CHRIS BROWN PERFORMING AT THE... →
I’m sick and tired of people acting like it’s no big deal that Chris Brown will be performing at the Grammys.
I’m frustrated that the mainstream media is covering this story like it’s any comeback story, like an exiled prince’s return to a former glory, like this is another political timeline — as though some rich and powerful old white men in the music business have not just issued an enormous...

I think
[sketch]
Case must be that one generation then should be as many living as now. To do this & to have many species in same genus (as is) requires extinction. Thus between A & B immense gap of relation. C & B the finest gradation, B & D rather greater distinction. Thus genera would be formed. — bearing...

I hate people who steal
and taking something which someone has left by accident is theft.
Two things I’ve left in the gym lately - a pair of headphones in my locker, and on Sunday, my iPod shuffle, and headphones on the treadmill. I totally forgot about it, I’d unclipped it after falling off so as to not distract me, and just forgot.
Both have gone. Not been handed in. Now I know, that should I have...

you thought I didn’t really notice. But I did. I wanted to high-five you.
Yesterday I had a pair of brothers in my store. One was maybe between 15-17. He was a wrestler at the local high school. Kind of tall, stocky and handsome. He had a younger brother, who was maybe about…

tis the season for religious tosh through my door.
Just had a flyer from http://notashamed.org.uk/ through my door. Did you know that the poor Christians are being PERSECUTED for being Christian in the UK. Everyone is stopping them practising their religion, even if by doing so they’re being homophobic, offensive or just not following the same dress code as everyone else.
I know there’s Christians on my tumblr/twitter, and I know...

“For those who believe, no proof is necessary. For those who don’t believe, no...”
– Stuart Chase | Submitted By: mynameismystery (via quote-book)
This totally goes against the scientific method. Science requires evidence, theory and peer review. Not just faith. Show any atheist the kind of evidence we have for evolution, or an expanding universe, or quantum physics for the...
