In 8th grade English class we had to write a short essay for homework (this was before most families had a computer, so it was hand written). I’m lefty, and the ink from my pen smudged (iykyk). In front of the whole class she called me out for sloppy work and said I’d receive a 0. So I asked how, as a lefty, I could prevent that from happening. She gave me 3 days of detention for talking back to her. When my mom found out, she called the school and spoke with the principal, who happened to be a lefty. He reversed course, saying detention for this was ridiculous, as well as suggested pens he uses that smudge a lot less.

Another time, in high school, I was in art class. Everyone would keep their sketchbooks in the desks rather than take them home. One day, someone drew a bunch of swastikas all over mine, and then reported me. Originally, I was going to be expelled. After explaining I didn’t draw them, and how anyone could access the book, they reduced it to 3 days suspension. After my mom got involved, it was reduced (“reduced”) to 10 days of detention. This was catholic school, so detention was kneeling for an hour in front of a wall.

Also in catholic school, I got detention for arguing with my theology teacher that eating eggs means he supports abortion. I deserved and enjoyed detention that day.

… I got in trouble a lot in catholic school

I’d love to, but I was just a lurker. I have the artistic talent of a potato :(

There was a subreddit that I really miss called something like “whatsthiscookiecutter”, where people would post a cookie cutter they couldn’t figure out. People would create all sorts of weird, random, and funny drawings.

devinickles on Instagram does this with his kids. It’s pretty great

They burned down Boost for Reddit, and Boost for Lemmy rose from the ashes

Honestly I don’t think the driver even noticed the guy walking in front of the car - she was likely concentrating on the guy trying to open her door while the killer, for whatever reason, walked in front of a moving car. There are wild animals with more sense than that…
