Danielle Fishel, the actress who played the character Topanga Lawrence on the show Boy Meets World, is married to a comedian named Jensen Karp, who tweeted that he found shrimp tails in his box of Cinnamon Toast Crunch.

After his tweet went viral, writer Melissa Stetten alleged that he was an abuser and stated that other women had reached out to share their own allegations against Karp with her.

Karp being a “milkshake duck” refers to a June 2016 tweet from Aussie cartoonist Ben Ward which read

The whole internet loves Milkshake Duck, a lovely duck that drinks milkshakes! 5 seconds later We regret to inform you the duck is racist

It gave a name to the phenomenon of seemingly harmless individuals’ sordid pasts being called out after a brief brush with fame.

On March 24, 2021, Twitter user @BudrykZack tweeted “Shrimp Cereal Topanga Husband is a MeToo milkshake duck”. The accompanying image is taken from an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation called Darmok and is of the character named Darmok who is a member of the Tamarian species which speaks only in metaphors.

“MeToo” refers to the worldwide Me Too movement, that began in 2017, through which survivors of sexual assault and victims of sexual harrassment - mostly women - have come forward to admit to announce their victim hood in order to bring to light how common such assaults are and to demand an end to rape culture.

My favorite piece of text from a few years ago that I was disgusted to be able to parse was “Shrimp cereal Topanga husband is a Me Too milkshake duck.”

I taught last year in a district near Dallas, TX where 70% of students were on a free or reduced lunch plan. This year, I am teaching in a district near Portland, OR where breakfast and lunch is free for every student, as it should be.

I know someone who died from huffing heroin pills.

The Air Force once injected an unsolved, 1000-year-old mathematical puzzle written in another language into the game Prometheus, and an unemployed college dropout genius who lived with his mom solved it, got recruited to participate in a highly classified mission to the planet P4X-351 where he, a crew of Air Force officers and personnel, and a few civilian scientists ended up being forced to evacuate due to an impending planet-wide explosion (as well as an aerial assault by a band of space pirates) by jumping through a stable wormhole whose terminus was aboard the starship Destiny - an abandoned scientific vessel launched one million years prior by a species known as The Ancients who had planned to use it to travel to the center of the known universe.

Sounds like someone wants to openly use bigoted language without repercussions on privately-owned social media platforms.

He’s a “lifelong bachelor” 🙄, not allowing himself to experience true happiness with another person of his choosing according to his orientation out of the knowledge that he would be ostracized by his colleagues, voted out of office, and would lose his livelihood. He chose capitalism and power at the expense of his own joy, so he can go ahead and be as miserable as he wants to be for all I care.

I did not get that vibe at all. Until MAGAts crawl back under their fucking rocks, sarcasm is gonna still need to end in /s. I already have a hard enough time being autistic.

The tens of thousands innocents, mostly children, that Israel has slaughtered have been semites. So I’m not even gonna call you an anti-semite. You’re just a heartless prick.

Loving this meme format.

I forgot my ANOVA when I moved this summer. Now, I’m not that sorry I did.

I edited my comment for clarification purposes.

I had edited my comment. It originally said 7-11 doesn’t sell wine (at all), but I realized the lyrics needed more specificity for the joke to hit harder.

Lyrics

Unfortunately, they haven’t had my favorite pinot noir there for the past 55 years.

Edit: Is joke. Lyrics to Hotel California: “So I called up the Captain, ‘Please bring me my wine.’ He said, ‘We haven’t had that spirit here since 1969.’”

JD Vance: I am in favor of all family planning services being banned, because 🎶 surprises let you know He cares! 🎵

Oh no…there’s no modifying of a school district’s technology allowed. That’s just not a thing, at least not that I’ve heard of in the US. Thanks for the recommendations, though, maybe it’ll help someone else.

Oh I know, but it’s not about the charger at this point; it’s about the company and their stupid, stupid operating system that is dumb.

I hate Apple so god damned much. When I got started in 2003 with the cohort I was in for my elementary education degree, the university required us to get an Apple MacBook G4. We weren’t allowed to choose any other laptop, just that one, and we had to get it from the campus computer store (so of course the school was getting a kickback 🖕).

The power cord on those had a weird round dongle on the end that plugged into the computer. In the center of the dongle was a very thin pin. So, of course, I accidentally tripped on it, and the pin snapped off inside the computer. Easy enough to remove, but it meant I had to buy a brand new adapter to do my coursework.

$80.

Eighty fucking dollars. And there were no third-party adapters at the time (at least when I looked). Oh, and that replacement adapter? CAUGHT ON FUCKING FIRE.

I have not spend a dime on anything Apple touches since then. I’ve been issued iPads by school districts for which I’ve worked in the past, but those pretty much stay locked up in my cabinet. Nope…no Apple Music, no Apple TV, not even a covered-by-the-district $1.99 app for my school iPad.

Luckily, as teacher, I’ve either been issued a Dell or at the very least a MacBook Air with Windows 10 bootcamped every year since. Unfortunately, I am in a new district in Oregon this year (had been in Texas), and my device this year is a non-bootcampable MacBook Air. 🤬
