I'm Not About To Argue The Finer Points Of Southern Culture With Anyone, Because I Can Accept That I

So I ended up with free time at the end of my first class today, so I was like "do yall wanna see a vintage meme?" and turned on "what does the fox say". Expected like. A laugh from the kids, or even just a "wtf is this mx?" which is. A reasonable reaction to What Does The Fox Say.

But instead of a reasonable reaction. all of my students watched the first 60 seconds with jaws agape. And then this one kids turns to me like the fucking eye of Sauron and literally goes:

I was reading something about Whitestown, Indiana and my eyes nearly popped out of my head thinking it was one of THOSE comically racist towns. Nice to know, at least the name, wasn’t that.

Hey, here’s a concept. What if we stopped saying “but autistic people CAN do all those things” (erasing high support needs) and instead started saying “not being able to do those things doesn’t impact someone’s value as a person nor does it make it okay to commit eugenics”.

Prague is beautiful, and on my list of cities still to see as we travel around Europe.

This is just me adding to the list of people telling everyone- if you're thinking about closing a padlock onto a bridge as a cute forever keepsake, don't fucking do it. So many people do it, as you can see in these pictures, that historic sites all over the world are facing costly and time-consuming renovations to undo the damage. Not to mention, at this point maintenance crews will just cut the locks off anyway.

There are plenty of great ways to show your love for your partner(s), or for the cities you visit- focus on the ones that won't be a pain to undo.

Love locks can be found on bridges, lamp posts, fences and monuments worldwide; so why are destinations falling out of love with them?

Prague’s Old Town is a time portal back to the 10th century and has remained virtually untouched since those times. If you can manage to avoid the tourist shops and restaurants the city is among Europe’s most treasured. The famous walk through the Old Town to see the Astronomical Clock, The Gothic Church of Our Lady before Týn that towers over the beautiful center square, and various other Gothic churches, towers, and buildings will leave anyone in awe, but simply wandering aimlessly around the charming cobblestone streets, across the Charles Bridge towards the Prague Caste complex, and discovering some of the most pleasing side street architecture in Europe is what puts this Czech town over the top for me. Nobody complains about being lost here.
