i did summer school for credits one year so i could have half-days my senior year. one day the cops showed up, talked to the lady who monitored the computer lab, then arrested a guy. i turned and looked and the dude being arrested goes, "fuck you looking at?" important lesson — PolitiTweet.org

honestly it was good training for adult life in that you rapidly learn that people have all kinds of shit going on with them and it's almost never any of your business and you need not look or comment — PolitiTweet.org

so while there technically wasn't tracking, there was de-facto tracking. if you were in solid APs, did academic decathlon, AQL, UIL, etc (and/or debate, as it were), the teachers knew who you were and mostly they just left us alone. they had so many other things to deal with lol — PolitiTweet.org

for instance, we did not eat in the cafeteria. it was simply too small. instead we were free to eat anywhere in the building or go off campus if we could drive/had rides. all the kids who cared about grades met in one particular spot and we all did everything together basically. — PolitiTweet.org

yeah i think a major saving grace for me was that my high school had about ~4,000 kids in it. it was bigger than my university. it functioned like a small town. you knew people in your small group of friends/associates, but never even interacted w other groups of kids — PolitiTweet.org

@Tim40k if you just dont say much to people who dont know you and do your school work there's not a lot to complain about — PolitiTweet.org

dude...hell no...i don't think i've ever even seriously contemplated being violent with somebody. if someone attacked me i wouldn't retaliate, i would just cower and get owned. i'm like 45% marshmallow — PolitiTweet.org

euphoria hits upon a real and important phenomenon: girl fights were always way more disruptive than boy fights. girl fights would jam up major hallways and make you late to class. guys would make appointments to meet in parks then occasionally kill each other — PolitiTweet.org

@S___Elliott @Wu_117 @DrDavidLey right, that question would be phrased: but is there a difference between sex and other forms of market labor? and of course i think there is! i'm, you know, me! — PolitiTweet.org

@Wu_117 @S___Elliott @DrDavidLey i mean the industry is worth what, $75 billion? you look at what the performers are making and you tell me lol — PolitiTweet.org

@jcenters Oh yeah wasn't accusing you at all, just riffing on the subject matter! — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig

...but what a strange and sudden transformation. millennial joke culture developed in the context of huge destabilizing events, and in some sense is a way of putting emotional distance between oneself and those events. but i guess this is the limit of that whole mien. — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig

i have a sense of humor about bad things happening to me personally, and a set of principles with respect to what i take to be trolling which result in my having a very strong aversion to showing signs of being seriously upset, like for real emotional, on the internet... — PolitiTweet.org

i've never felt more radically torn between 2 versions of myself -- millennial left irony poster with brain poisoning from growing up online, and person who would earnestly support virtually any policy to avoid exposing her children to significant risk of living thru nuclear war — PolitiTweet.org
