I think that’s probably how it started in the middle school. I know that all of the later cats were rescued from the Humane Society, votes happened and pics were in the local newspaper. I understand all of the runner-ups also got homes. But yeah. Cats have been hanging around schools since forever. Cheap kitty litter has many uses but schools are having problems with trumpies nutjobs accusing them of abusing children. ---

There’s that, of course, but it also allows for traction on ice in winter. Spread it just like you would a de-icer or rock salt, and it tends to be less expensive than either. Plus, if you have rear-wheel drive, having 80 to 120 pounds of the stuff in the trunk of your car can help your car get traction in the winter, just because of the weight. Good for cleaning up oil leaks on the floor of your garage too. In short, it’s got a lot of uses beyond the obvious. ---

Of course the other use for Kitty Litter is for students to use during extended lock downs due to an active shooter. So sure it is for students but we can’t have people think that it is messed up to have it because of a prevalent gun culture, so an outrageous and stupid reason needs to be provided as an alternative. `//i\\` ---

> [@JaneDoe42](#): > > The local middle school has a class cat. The current cat has been their mascot for almost 10 years, there have been many cats over the years. Back when in the day, the class cat went out side to go. Nowadays, the class cat is not allowed out of the building and has a litter box in the principle’s office. > > One of the aides told me that the principle used to buy the litter and kibble for the class cat, but got accused of buying it for the student restrooms so now the aides take turns smuggling kitty litter into the school to keep the principle from getting harassed while doing her grocery shopping. Just on principle, the guy who runs the school is the Principal. 😉 How has Trump pissed me off today? Motherfucker’s still breathing. ---

> [@crowmanyclouds](#): > > "I’m a prince, I’m a pal, I’m the principal’ I’d heard at least the last half as a mnemonic to remember which one is which: “The principal is your pal”. But, it doesn’t really generalize. “Principle” is a noun. “Principal” is an adjective. The only reason you use it as a noun in that one instance is because it is short for “Principal Teacher”. It is an exception, not the rule. ---

> [@leahcim](#): > > “Principle” is a noun. “Principal” is an adjective. The only reason you use it as a noun in that one instance is because it is short for “Principal Teacher”. It is an exception, not the rule. There are other uses of “principal” as a noun. For example, “principals in the case” is a fairly common phrase to describe those who are most important in a case. [Dictionary.com](http://Dictionary.com) has: noun 4. a chief or head. 5. the head or director of a school or, especially in England, a college. 6. a person who takes a leading part in any activity, as a play; chief actor or doer. 7. the first player of a division of instruments in an orchestra (excepting the leader of the first violins). 8. something of principal or chief importance. 9. Law. - a person who authorizes someone else, such as an agent, to represent them. - a person directly responsible for a crime, either as an actual perpetrator or as an abettor present at its commission.: Compare [accessory (def. 3)](https://www.dictionary.com/browse/accessory). 1. a person primarily liable for an obligation, in contrast with an endorser, or the like. 2. the main body of an estate, or the like, as distinguished from income. 3. Finance. a capital sum, as distinguished from interest or profit. 4. Music. - an organ stop. - the subject of a fugue. 1. (in a framed structure) a member, as a truss, upon which adjacent or similar members depend for support or reinforcement. 2. each of the combatants in a duel, as distinguished from the seconds. (1 through 3 were called ‘adjectives.’) In all of these it would be fair to note that “principal” IS an adjective being applied to an unspoken noun (such as in “principal combatants”). In this it’s analogous to “General” being used without the actual word it modifies (General Officer). But many dictionaries classify these uses as ‘nouns.’ Also: I’m deeply annoyed that the compilations of very recent gaffes and misspoken words and word salad committed by Himself will never be seen by his fans, who exist in the infamous right-wing media bubble. Here’s one: > **[‘STOP!’ Morning Joe’s Brutal Montage of Trump Gaffes — Aired Three Times in a...](https://www.mediaite.com/tv/stop-morning-joes-brutal-montage-of-trump-gaffes-aired-three-times-in-a-row-makes-mika-brzezinski-totally-cringe/)** > > Mika Brzezinski was performatively freaked out by a heavy-handed yet brutal montage of former President Donald Trump making a string of embarrassing gaffes ---
