Juno is an incredibly disturbing movie
Just the thought of being pregnant with Michael Cera’s child
I hated juno because it forced me to think about Michael Cera cumming inside another human being
why did you do this to me I’m dryheaving

it’s been literal weeks and i’ve only just realised this is meant to be read as “healthy burgers” and not “heal thy burgers”

Coby Burren was reading his textbook, sitting in geography class at Pearland High School near Houston, when he noticed a troubling caption. The 15-year-old quickly took a picture with his phone and sent it to his mother.
Next to a map of the United States describing “patterns of immigration,” it read that the Atlantic slave trade brought “millions of workers from Africa to the southern United States to work on agricultural plantations.”
“We was real hard workers wasn’t we,” Coby texted, adding a sarcastic emoji.
Coby caught a textbook error that had been missed by several editorial layers, starting with mega publisher McGraw-Hill Education, followed by the official textbook reviewers and, finally, members of the Texas Board of Education who have the final say on materials like this.
Roni Dean-Burren, Coby’s mother, is a former teacher pursuing her doctorate at the University of Houston. For her, “that word — ‘workers’ — was an attempt to erase that hard writing that slavery has had on the paper of our society.” She points out that, while the book describes many Europeans immigrating as indentured servants, she found no mention in this lesson of Africans forced to the U.S. as slaves.
Why Calling Slaves ‘Workers’ Is More Than An Editing Error
