Hahaha, I would never assume that anywhere bothers about having a diverse curriculum. It’s just a million times easier to do the easy thing and stick with the same books that have always been taught. And no shade to teachers on that individually — they work really hard, and building new lesson plans is hard, and school systems aren’t always willing to listen, etc. But add it all up and it’s a real, serious problem.

Hah, yeah, I’ve seen that too, and I don’t have a ton of sympathy for it from Chris Rock either. They just seem so unwilling to consider that maybe the problem is they’re making crappy unfunny jokes.

Ugh, I saw those. And Tim Hunt was talking about how his institution threw him under the bus. Shut up dude. You threw yourself under the stupid bus.

Yep, I agree with you. Even when we do seem to make one tiny bit of progress (like if they decide no more Confederate flags flown by state governments), it’s nowhere near enough. Nothing like proportional compared to what happened. It makes me really sad and angry.

I know! Exactly! Arrrrrrgh.

Hope you enjoyed em! 🙂

Oo, he should have done a photoshoot where he put many puppies into many buckets and photographed them all. Then he’d have a solid supply of the pictures and he could dedicate his work time to work things.

Boy we sure do. :/

I agree with that in theory, but I think so many authors are bad at it. But you’re right! I’ve seen authors come onto blogs and provide further background info about their books in answer to questions the blog posts have asked, and that’s been fine — fun actually! I’ve had that happen a few times to positive effect.

Right? Look at its teensy puppy face!
