The Lesbian Love Sage

Welcome to Black Lesbian Books!

blacklesbianbooks:

Hello! If you’ve found this tumblr, you’re probably in search of books from the black lesbian experience. You’ve found the right place.

It’s hard to find books that are for us and by us, and I’ll try to compile both information, visuals, links and book reviews and interviews pertaining to African-American lesbians.

And some fun stuff. And possibly some NSFW stuff. But I digress… :-)

This is an extension of Sistahs on the Shelf, the home for readers of black lesbian fiction. There, you can find an extensive number of great reviews of novels and interviews.

So follow us.

Also, my personal tumblr is renareads.tumblr.com. You can stop by there, as well.

“Flapper “ The notorious character type who bobbed her hair, smoke cigarettes, drank gin, sported short skirts, and passed her evenings in steamy jazz clubs, where she danced in a shockingly immodest fashion with a revolving cast of male suitors.” “The New Woman of the 1920s boldly asserted her right to dance, drink, smoke, and date— to work her own property, to live free of the strictures that governed her mother’s generation. (…) She flouted Victorian-era conventions and scandalized her parents. In many ways, she controlled her own destiny”

teachers who complain about grading work

image

are you fucking kidding me.

no.

no you sit the fuck down.

LET ME EXPLAIN YOU A THING

do you know how hard it is to be a teacher in the current economy? do you know what it’s like to frantically…

Yo idk where you went but literally only 2 teachers in my entire highschool career did what you described so
I agree with op here.

I dunno man. Point still stands. Every body complains about doing work, kids included. And I’m sure that most teachers don’t want to have to waste their time grading work that half the kids didn’t put any time or effort or energy into it, regurgitating the same information over and over. Grading papers is boring as shit but it also has to be done. 

Teachers in the US especially don’t get paid nearly enough to deal with the amount of stress that they go through and the effort that most of them put into their jobs. I mean, if your teachers didn’t, that sucks for you wherever you went, but a lot of teachers actually do put a lot of work into their job. 

Like, I’m only an assistant teacher and sometimes I’m worked to death. 

Though I also work in Japan where teachers get to school at 6:30 and are there literally until 9 or 10 at night doing work. So perhaps my perspective is a bit different, but American teachers do a lot of work too. Several of my aunts teach and dedicate a fuck ton of their time into helping kids graduate and get paid jack for it.
