Ready for today’s lesson? 4th grade math.
“Mr. Torees took his students to the dolphin show. Each row in the stadium had 11 seats. One adult sat at each end of a row, and each group of 4 students was seated between 2 adults. Mr. Torres sat by himself. How many adults were there?
From the graph:
Mr. Torres has 24 students.
Ms. Bird has 30 students.
Mrs. Allen has 36 students.
Mr. Torres has 24 students. If there are 4 students in rach row, he will need 6 rows.
4x6=24
Each row has 2 adults sitting on each end.
The kids are trying so hard to figure this out. Meanwhile I’m like... Image
The answer is 10.
12 - 2 = 10.
10 adults.
All those words just to get to 12-2 = 10😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩
Okay this is easier.
“There are 8 rows of 22 chairs set up for an awards ceremony at school. In each row, the 2 chairs on each end are reserved for students receiving awards. The rest of the chairs are for guests. How many chairs are for guests?”
8 rows of 22
8x22 = 176
2 chairs on each end are reserved.
8x2 = 16
176-16 = 160
160 chairs are for guests.
Okay 1 more.
“Brenda’s vegtable garden has 13 rows with 8 plants in each row. Brenda plans to plant peppers in the first 2 rows AND the last 2 rows of the garden. The rest of the rows will be tomatoes. How many tomato plants will Brenda plant?”
13 rows with 8 plants in each row.
13 x 8 = 104
4 rows of pepper plants
4 x 8 = 32
104 - 32 = 72
Brenda will plant 72 tomato plants. And we know this is true cause 9 rows were left. And 9 x 8 is what?
72.
*correction* Um...2 chairs at the end of each row is 4, not 2.
8 x 4 = 32
176 - 32 = 144
Lord. I hope so.
Okay so we got this one wrong😭
Oh, no we didn’t. We orig said 160. But we corrected our mistake to 144. And that *is* correct.

I did a breakdown on @poplifepodcast with Jeff, Nai, Inca & Shawn about the WGA & SAG strike, but I’ve never really explained the reasoning for the strike #OnHere. So, here it goes. I’ve been a SAG/Aftra member since 1994. Basically, the Screen Actors Guild is the Union all…
… all working actors have to join, in order to work on union projects. I came to LA for the summer in 1994 as a kid & immediate started working. So I had to join. Through the union, you have access to health care and other resources. Resources that the Union fought for. One…
… of the resources, is residuals. What are residuals? Well, before streaming, if you worked on a film or tv show, there was a huge chance that show or movie, would play multiple times, on network television/cable. Every tv show had their eye on SYNDICATION. When your show…

When he said, worst outcome for kids is when dad get new gf/wife, espc if dad has kids w/ new gf/wife becuz statistics show men abandon their previous kids… this hit bcuz I have SEEN this. Multiple times in my life. Wow.
There’s a saying that I’ve heard from women my whole life & it’s is something like, men (not ALL) love the kids as much as he loves the woman. And if mom & dad fall out, mom stays & there’s a big chance dad will be on to the next. This makes perfect sense in the context of …
… those other videos where the guys could not get past who is/isn’t f*cking them when talking about mentoring/servicing/spending time w/ kids in the community. Like wow.

Personally, I think the sharing of videos w/ police murdering Black ppl (including Black children) is continuing the legacy of Chattel Slavery/Jim Crow. White families would dress in their Sunday best, bring the kids, bring food & watch human lynchings as entertainment.
I would never in a million years WANT to see videos of *any* school shootings with kids being killed. EVER. I don’t want to *see* anyone be murdered. I also think it furthers the desensitization (that Black ppl STILL experience in hospitals today) of violence toward Black ppl.
Also, how would you feel constantly seeing people who look like your mom, or son MURDERED, repeatedly. For centuries. And have people on the news, argue whether those folks *deserved* it. How would your mental health be? That trauma would be passed down in your DNA.

Yesterday, there was a thread w/ people realizing that if getting an abortion is a felony, then this is *also* targeted voter disenfranchisement of women/ppl w/uteruses. It was a light bulb moment for so many in the thread. Nevermind that the convo about felons & voting rights…
…is not a new one. Activists have been beating that drum for decades. And while I don’t know the ins & outs of everything, it’s just a reminder of how race trumps *everything*. Because the idea that felons (men AND women) can & do get their voting rights taken away has…
…*never* been a concern for most ppl who’ve never had someone close to them in jail/prison. Or it was always something about *criminals* that didn’t effect *everyone else*. Because *those ppl* “broke the law” and were suffering the ‘consequences of their own decisions’.

Twitter isn’t a real place when folks stay on here all day calling ppl (not cis men of course) who need/want abortions “sluts” & “whores” but are silent on SCOTUS *also* saying they’re also coming for CONTRACEPTION. They talking about you too darlin’.
“Why don’t ya’ll use condoms”
Uncle Clarence said he thinks condoms, the pill, IUD’s yadda yadda also need to go. And oh yeah, say you *want* your pregnancy but miscarry or have an ectopic pregnancy (can’t control these things) and need a D&C so ya know…you don’t die…
…they’re talking about YOU TOO. And we already know they’re saying NO exception for rape or incest. And for men, I’d bet money that *at least* HALF of the girls/women in your life have experienced or have needed these services. Hell, *you’ve* needed these services for…

I don’t know shit about shit. But what I *do* know is that Twitter has been a huge platform for people, often ignored & criminalized by mainstream media. Black ppl and POC’s, women, specifically Black Women & WOC & Trans Women, LGBTQ folks, folks living in poverty…
…as the middle class has been shrinking for DECADES w/o any real policy changes to address it. We’ve seen REAL conversations of how student loans affect ppl’s whole lives & we’ve seen that even with the changes to our health care, ppl still have to crowdfund to get their …
…basic healthcare needs paid for. The space that Black Twitter created specifically, made way for the 16*9 project to happen & we’ve seen the *national* backlash to that in schools/politicians media. Conversations pushing culture (kicking & screaming) forward about…
