The ending to that sentence is always moot. You guarantee it. End of. If you don't follow through on that guarantee, you are a liar.

That little ragamuffin...such a ne'er-do-well.
I'd imagine they were meaning to refer to the practice of foster "parents" signing up to take in kids in order to receive money money every month that they use mostly as personal income for themselves while neglecting the kid. Cuz yeah, adoption is very different.
It was definitely the case for me. I was looking up symptoms because I had a student that a other teacher said she thought might be autistic, so I wanted to see what the signs are. Reading through the list, I was like "Holy shit...it me!" My coworkers were floored that I didn't know I was autistic because they had spotted it right away. I told my mom, and she said, "Yeah...you're dad and I always thought you might be."
So I got tested at age 46 and got the diagnosis. Easy peasy. I mean apart from having to wait a few years until the right combination of health insurance, mental state, covid safety, and diagnosticians came along so that I wouldn't have to pay $1500 out of pocket.

They disappointed me unforgiving when they dropped the size of their $4.00 Large Frosty down to 12 oz. I was like no, I ordered a large and she said, "Yeah, this is a large." It was the same size as the little white cup they give you when you ask for water.

“Again, we want to make clear our unreserved apology to Anna Landre and we are making every effort to ensure this doesn’t happen again.”
That's the thing though, isn't it? The entire point of her advocacy...of anyone's advocacy when it comes to their disability...is for able-bodied people to think ahead to make sure that the same services they enjoy and places through which they can travel can also be accessed by disabled people as well.
Apologizing ex post facto and "making every effort to ensure this doesn't happen again" really just means "we'll make sure we have ramps available next time." It doesn't mean they are committing to choose well-contrasting colors in their documentation for ease of reading for color blind people, or that as a matter of habit they will have sign language interpreters on call for every event, or any number of other things. The "Oops, We Dun Goofed" apology promise is almost always just to not to do that particular goof no more.

It opened in 1931 and underwent a major renovation in 1997. Apparently, the water usage is sustainable (see below), but it still doesn't excuse the fact, in my mind, that continuing to support the upkeep of a green-ass golf course at the edge of Death Valley shows how out-of-whack its patrons are with the changing climate.
"In an area as hot and dry as Death Valley, balancing water usage with conservation requires significant planning. Furnace Creek and its namesake resort exist in their location because natural spring water flows from nearby mountain ranges to create an oasis. By routing the water from one point to others, the resort’s goal is to use the same molecules of water for several purposes. The spring-fed water is first used at the Inn to irrigate gardens and supply the swimming pool which was designed with a flow-through system that minimizes chemical use. That water then continues downhill to the Ranch where it fills the ponds on the golf course, providing habitat for local and migratory wildlife. The water in the ponds then irrigates the golf course." - How Xanterra’s Furnace Creek Resort is Sustainable, greenlodgingnews.com

tl;dr - House Republicans are targeting socially responsible investing, including investments that take into account environmental concerns like climate change.
>And that’s a threat to them, because what they’re trying to do is to basically stop people from looking at the climate risk from the oil companies. And they’re saying, “Don’t look up.” They’re saying, “Put your head in the ground.” And what we’re saying is, “We need the freedom to invest.” Like, they’re trying to suppress our freedom to be able to make logical, good business choices. And in doing so, at the state level, their harming their own citizens. - Andrew Behar, CEO of non-profit group As You Sow which promotes corporate responsibility through shareholder advocacy, speaking to Amy Goodman of Democracy Now! - March 29, 2024
Brianna Coppage said she made $1 million on the platform, which she was using to supplement her teaching salary.
![Teacher who resigned after her OnlyFans page was discovered says new employer fired her for violating social media policy](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/766f66cb-ab1c-408d-9ad6-d62b4d260e10.jpeg?format=webp&thumbnail=256)
Had to supplement her $42,000 per year teacher salary with OF and made nearly $1 million in six months (almost 50 times as her salary) before the school caught wind of it and forced her to resign. Got a new job out of education and was fired five days later when they discovered news articles about her.
Edit: To those basically saying she had it coming because she made her OF account public...
- Sex work is real, valid work.
- There is nothing wrong with sex work. Sex-shaming is Puritanical horseshit.
- "But her students could find her OF!" is a problem their parents should have to solve. It is not her responsibility to use an alias, because of points 1 and 2.
- Every other argument criticizing her for her sex work during her non-teaching hours is fucking moot.
