@ask_aubry He’s the asshole for kicking a mother and child out of the house. If we want to validate his desire to “process”, then why didn’t he leave the home to do that? This man doesn’t want a child. This man doesn’t want a family. He wants a body nearby. That’s it.

He kicked out his two month post partum wife and infant so he could process his wife defending herself from his mother who not only hit her but was abusing his herfor months. Got it. 🙄

@Tye3rdThoughts Americans would rather fly to Cuba than go to their own hospitals. We also don’t have to pay for ambulances 🤷🏻‍♀️

@notcapnamerica In 2019, two young black Bahamian men were found dead in a river in Italy. They were both well-educated, well-connected professionals, and the Italian police did zit to find out what happened to them. See it here tribune242.com/news/2023/may/…

@thosethatcan At my last private school, I was told to convince a student to stay by telling her how her boyfriend (who threatened to kill her parents) was the love of her life and that if she left, she would lose her boyfriend forever. The student was 13.

What’s the most unexpected/outrageous thing you’ve been asked to do as a member of staff in a school? Those things that fall well outside the job description… #edutwitter #headteacherchat
