Somebody in here has eaten beaver cream.

I kind of hope they do remember. There’s still a 20 year reunion to find one of them and ask if they remember. I’m able to mostly just laugh now. But my god, the torture of being a teenager.

It was high school physics and I had aced the final exam, which was the same exam used in the equivalent college course.

I had a teacher who asked me in front of the class if I would mind if he shared with the class a big accolade I had achieved. He was teasing me, as he took away my choice to say no in that moment. I was immensely proud and excited for that to be shared with the class, but also chose to take a jab back at him. I stated flatly “no, I don’t want that shared with the class.” Before I could say “just joking” or whatever, the awkward silence I had created made me panic and shut down. And after a few more awkward moments we moved on to something else. 20 years later my stomach still churns.

Yes everyone; consider that every speaker might be biased.

You’re incorrect. If it’s actually felt, shame is the most powerful motivator for change. The personal satisfaction comes not from what the effort might accomplish, but from defending the ground you walk on when invaders try to tarnish its value. I will not let them enter every space I occupy and bloviate unchallenged.

No more time for sorrow. Efforts to not live in a cesspool are futile in an oligarchy. Let’s shame some people who deserve it.
