Just a little (link) love: working like a dog edition

Working on that poverty mentality and hoarder instinct
I already liked Kristen Bell. I didn’t know she was part of cofounding this rather neat company.
When did you take your first AP class? Freshman year does feel early but hey, if a kid wants to try, let them!
I’m really sad this is the reason the PIEs haven’t updated in a long time.
I need to see if I can make a low-carb low-sugar version of Annette’s GF zucchini bread.
What is it like to be the most (maybe unintentionally) funny person on Twitter. Nicole Cliffe has some of the best threads and inspires funny sharing from others.
I neeeeeever wanted to have an answer to this question: When’s the last time you ran into your ex? How was it? Where were you? I had a firm rule developed some time in college: never look back, never talk to exes again. This was after my first serious boyfriend, I think, and was meant to include casually dated people because I didn’t really casually date. Welp, that changed last year. At a holiday outing, a person who looked vaguely familiar and his family joined our group. I didn’t pay much mind because logically, if I only vaguely recognized him, I probably didn’t want to actually recognize him. I was sticking to it. Then at the end of the evening he identified himself to me in one of the weirdest possible imaginable ways, thus shattering my rule and my plausible deniability. HUMPH. I had some ungenerous thoughts about him. That was just one of the few people I casually dated back in the day. I never ever want to run into an actual ex. Ever.
I feel like the first dog
Note: I don’t agree most anti-socialist judgements – they ignore all the realities of life like illness, disability, structural issues like racism and sexism. But the dogs are hilarious.

Thanks for the link! DC1 doesn’t actually have a choice about whether or not to take an AP class for history, it’s just a question of which one. The one he’s taking this year is required eventually, but can be taken either freshman or sophomore year. The one he’s not taking (Human Geography) is never required and the teacher is kind of racist, which is ironic given the class topic. So basically he’s taking this one so he can skip Human Geography and will be able to take AP Psychology later instead.
You’re welcome!
Maybe my recollection is fuzzy about the early AP classes, it HAS been a while 🙂
Wise to skip the racist teacher.
High school and AP classes were so long ago, but I know that my freshman biology class was AP (although neither my mother nor I knew what that meant at the time), and probably my English class was as well–I took AP English all four years. Math? Probably. I never did take an AP test, though.
Why didn’t you take any of the tests?
