Considering she spelled it "armor", she's talking about schoolkids wielding weapons in an american school which makes me wish there was a combination of :thunk: and :whitewater:

I love the image of two angry teachers looking up THE RULE BOOK and being like "well, it doesn't mention armor specifically so technically I guess she's right..."

I dunno, I've met the kids of reenactors before, I can definitely believe that they wore mail to school. Just not that they weren't resoundingly and consistently mocked for both wearing mail and having no social skills or personal hygiene.

I grab my hat and throw it down on the ground in frustration as little Junetricia vivisects another first grader with her broadsword. They just dont write the rule books with these kind of situations in mind.

My hands are tied! If only he were using scissors or a gun, then I would have a clear ruling I could stop him. But alas, a broadsword... how ~unusual~

"Disrupting the learning environment," the teacher equivalent of the old "interfering with a police officer" catch-all charge.

As a teacher myself I'd have zero issues with a kid wearing chain mail, provided it wasn't too much of a distraction and they could still do their poo poo

Hm. I have reenactor friends, and all their chain mails are super jangly, so I thought they were supposed to be like that.

Actually doing what he said produces some good results though

Once, once told me,
the world takes me to the world
I am not the most precise tool in stock
He looked somewhat dumb
with his finger and finger
In the form of "L" in his forehead

Years are coming and going
I refer to the federal laws and go to the ground
Do not be good to entertain
Your brain becomes smart, but it's a dumb lead
So much to do, much to see
So wrong with the back streets?
You never know if you do not go
You'll never shine if you do not

Hey, now, you're a star, continue playing, play
Hey, now, you're a rock star, you're showing, paid
And all these misfortunes are gold
Only the masters shot the mold

A published author claimed he once filled in at a publishing house and accidentally rejected his own work. He eventually admitted it was made up, but not before lots of people bought into it.

I read the original tweet, and I thought "Alright, I mean it could happen, maybe." But then he's taking pictures, and posting them online, not once checking to see who wrote the story. Then invested in bitcoins, and somehow got an advance big enough to owe $175,000. JFC.

Haha yeah I read that a couple days ago and immediately figures that it could absolutely. It be true. Good to see he came out saying it was not true.

Man, this story. I didn't realise it had been made up, but that's probably for the best.

It's not even a flattering look. What sort of moron doesn't recognise his own story? How can you be editing submissions for a magazine you've submitted to? How incredibly unprofessional is it for an editor to post excerpts of a submission, mocking it on social media? If this were true, all it says is "I'm a really terrible writer and also incredibly dumb and unprofessional."
