I am happy to click links to enjoy the quality content that people like you and @morelikeasong post.

I will like/love/wow those posts. As a possessor of a penis, I'm used to having to link my posts and I'd much rather see your wonderful smut than my

Please let us know what we can do to continue to show our support

Did I click the emoji? I did. I think all emojis with no links should be banned!!

Jk! Thanks darling. I won't speak for MLAS but it helps to know people are participating. (With their dicks)

 

[PrettyLilPussy19]

Well, reverting to the written word will surely test you. Good luck. You'll need it!

Listen... I'm taking this class. I'll get wetter better!

 

[PrettyLilPussy19]

I'll always gladly click a link if it's from you or someone else I trust!

And yeah maybe people leaving because they don't have instant access to porn images might not be a bad thing...

I personally prefer things that fire up my imagination and this thread has always done that because you encourage discourse and you curate the images and gifs to compliment it so that all ticks a lot of boxes for me. And if things have to change then things have to change but I'm here in support for however you choose to continue.

And also in case there are protest baps!

I love you Rosie! This is exactly what I think.

So sorry. I did think about activating that emoji, but didn't want to cross a line.

I'll try to do better in the future.

Well done!

I'll always want to read what you have to say. And see what you want to show. I try to lurk, but I'm always around if you ever need me, my friend.

Well kids,
School's back in session and the Grinch (aka admins) hate fun. All in all not a great hump day. I appreciate Lit is a word based forum and I have no problem being wordy - but damn a little color? A suggestive non-nude? A lacy thigh? Can we have nothing!! <shakes fist at sky!>

The really frustrating aspect of this is that they said this was a change to their nudity policy. However, it's apparently also affecting non-nude images. It seems like images from tumblr and giphy are getting automatically displayed as links, regardless of the content. I guess this is part of the crackdown on posting images for which one doesn't have a copyright.

I know Lit is free and they are absolutely within their rights to do whatever the hell they want. However, I do think this might cause a decline of visitors to the site - which all in all might not be a horrible thing. Less looky-loos and more people with things to say? Is this wishful thinking or might there be a silver lining?

I certainly won't miss the vast number of threads that are little more than post after post of nude pics taken from the internet/porn with no discussion or thoughts to go along with them. There are lots of sites I can go to for such pics if I want to see them. I hope it doesn't discourage the few folks whose threads share images in a more thoughtful way, interspersed with their own thoughts and discussions with others.

How are people feeling about the links? Will you click them?

I will always click your links.

I've never been so tempted to post my "baps" in an act of defiance.

#silverlining

It does feel very puritanical in some ways. A war on sexuality? Will we all have to be straight soon too?

I certainly hope not.

You know you were teasing me with this!

Nods. I kept tapping them.

Girl, that's a solemn vow.
(And no, it's not something I say to *all* the girls.)

How are people feeling about the links? Will you click them? Do you like the mystery or will some sexy teasing words drive your curiosity? I want to keep the spirit of the B&B alive without getting banned (because that just might be my 13th reason why this year). Either way, I'm excited to experiment and see what works for others while all keeping our own individual voices. I think the people that come hang out in this wacky little corner of the internet are pretty fucking cool and insightful and sexy and I'd like to ensure you keep coming to see me (please bring snacks).

I've never been so tempted to post my "baps" in an act of defiance. It does feel very puritanical in some ways. A war on sexuality? Will we all have to be straight soon too?

Thinking of you all in these trying times.
From the front lines,
PLP

Jeez, go on vacation for a couple days and everything gets weird. While I do love baps, banter is my primary reason for being here. It’s unlikely I’ll make the discord transition. Link hard. Link often.

Good morning Study Hall! Breakfast anyone?


So summer school has begun and with new classes come new teachers and professors! Each with their own style and passion for the subject they are teaching. Which got me thinking -

Do you remember a teacher that a profound affect on you in school - good or bad?


Also it's a New and Imp.... well a New Curvesday today too!

I was a good student, from a young age. I tried hard. I liked going to school. But, in Year 4 ('3rd Grade' for the filthy colonials) I had a teacher with a very very equality-based mindset. You see, we all had stars we'd earn for good work. [x] stars and you got a certificate, going up in stages. Pointless rewards but it mattered to us kids.

But this teacher noticed how that ended up being a problem for lower-achieving kids. He wasn't wrong, and his heart was in the right place. His solution? Was it to try to reward people for effort instead of results? Why no, that would be sensible. Boost the lower-achievers often and early and hold back the higher achievers, and then switch this round partway through the year so, in his own words (heard much later, obvs), 'everyone would end up with the same'? Absolutely!

Problem was, this crushed me. I worked my ass off for no reward while I saw others get rewarded for cleaning a table, and my confidence in myself just collapsed.

Good intentions, badly executed.

We had house points in primary school and merit marks in secondary. The house points were obviously a group goal but there were tally charts on the wall so if you didn't have as many points as your other group members you were often singled out, even if you'd worked hard for the points you did have.
Then the merits were individual but a reward was given after certain milestones. I think 10, 25, 50, 100 etc and they were obviously meant to encourage hard work but kids notice who gets rewarded and who doesn't.

My kid now gets achievement stamps. He's not very academically gifted but does get rewards for things like effort, attitude, manners, that kind of thing. They get individual rewards after so many and are also now in houses too. It does sometimes feel like a reward for turning up but it means a lot to him.

I don't know the fairest way to do it tbh

In my primary school (ages 4-11) there was a married couple who were both teachers in different classes.

She was awful. This was the early 80's just when physical punishment was ending. She'd regularly grab children by the ears or similar. An absolutely horrible person.

He was lovely. Encouraging, soft spoken, funny. Actually listened and tried to have a great rapport with the kids. He was the first adult, maybe even including my parents, who was genuinely interested in what I had to say.

It's a hard one to balance! I am glad I am not in the teaching profession.
That said, I like effort/attitude/manners - these are applicable, in theory, to everyone. But then, the ones who slack or have home issues which cause lack of focus... there's no perfect system :/

Just wanted to echo this. I had many excellent teachers, and they differed wildly in personality and style, but I think the thing they had in common was seeing students as real human beings that they enjoyed and were interested in.

I’ve been incredibly fortunate in my life to have had many wonderful educators in it. At all levels from grade school through to college I’ve had teachers who have just been what I needed them to be when I needed it.

The one I’ll mention though wasn’t even a teacher I had a class with. But he was the sponsor of my Junior High (ages 12-14) Game Club. Those can be very difficult years for needy kids like me, but he gave so much of himself to that club. Those years remain some of my fondest memories. Going to Game conventions, or to see Star Trek movies downtown. Clearing out his classroom to play weekend long wargames with the minis he was always painting at lunch and after school. I can’t tell you how good a teacher he was, but he was a great force in the lives of the kids in that club

Many many years later I tracked him down when I was thinking of becoming a teacher. I went and visited him. He was gracious and welcoming. Had great thoughts on the career. It turned out not to be for me, but I’m always thankful for his insight.

Why does mini-sized anything make me think it's going to taste a 100 times better?

I remember one of my very first college professors - he taught U.S. Public Policy. At the time, I dreaded public speaking and the idea of defending a viewpoint in front of a room full of peers felt like a nightmare. But he saw something in me I didn’t yet see in myself. He was like my personal John Keating (minus all the messy stuff...)

Right? It’s a damn fact.

I've had some great teachers and a few bad ones - mostly consisting of teachers who were lazy or clearly hated their jobs.
My favorite teacher I was lucky enough to have my freshman year for AP English. She was the first person who told me I had a little talent with writing, she encouraged her classes to stop taking themselves so seriously (a hard task for teenagers) by starting every class with 5 mins of Sweating to the Oldies a la Richard Simmons, she was sarcastic and stylish and so so smart. I ended up taking every class she offered - 4 years of English, Shakespeare, Journalism, Mythology, and Creative Writing.

I doubt she remembers me but I think of her very often. Good, passionate teachers leave a lasting mark.

 

[Whiskeyjack]

Good, passionate teachers leave a lasting mark.

They sure do.

 

[PrettyLilPussy19]

They sure do.

Where can I sign up for this class??
