Life
The tavern had a large parlour located at the back of the building, while the tavern itself was located about five miles away from the border.

putting my prediction on record now that the coming decade is going to see the rise of viral-marketed fancy at-home water filtration systems, driving and driven by a drastic reduction in the quality of U.S. tap water (given that we are in a 'replacement era' where our current infrastructure is reaching the end of its lifespan--but isn't being replaced). also guessing that by the 2030s access to drinkable tap water will be a mainstream class issue, with low-income & unstably housed people increasingly forced to rely on expensive bottled water when they can't afford the up-front cost of at-home filtration--and with this being portrayed in media as a "moral failing" and short-sighted "choice," rather than a basic failure of our political & economic systems. really hope i'm just being alarmist, but plenty of this already happens in other countries, and the U.S. is in a state of decline, so. here's praying this post ages into irrelevance. timestamped April 2023

6th grade is probably my favorite grade to teach because they're the perfect combination of relatively enthusiastic and "just now starting to learn not to take things too seriously" without typically getting "too cool" for anything we do. as a result they're the best kids to read marcus aurelius to because they still think it's fun and will quiet down for it while also finding some of the things marcus aurelius says amusing. the best part about it though is that if i accidentally get distracted and forget to give them their dose of 2nd century CE stoic philosophy they call me out on it because they really want to hear what he has to say
what im saying is the other day in class i may have had a small group of 11-12 year olds yelling "WHAT ABOUT MARCUS" at me because i forgot to read them a passage from the meditations at the start of class
