Followed all 3 immediately. Been following you a long while ( back on T
he Bad Place) I trust your judgment. 😆

Thanks! I was already following Marcus, but have added the other two. In the same vein, who might be your top three women to follow?

I’ve had one glass of wine and the setup to this post makes me laugh, but I mean it!

I read it in the same way I read "This Is Just To Say" by William Carlos Williams 😂

(Also: love being grouped into this trio of dudes!)

The fact that he *found* the plums without asking is a miracle.

heymrsbond.com•4 days ago

He knew where the plums were the whole time. He probably watched his wife preserve them!

We HAVE to do this poem in July!

I’m always fascinated at how furious I am after I read it and every man I’ve ever talked about it with says it’s a poem of praise! AHHHH! 😂

OK, this is my favorite poem since I first read it in 11th grade English, and I love it so much that it was literally my first tattoo at the age of 42!! 😂

I use this poem to have kids write #sorrynotsorry poems. They are always so much fun!

Great idea!

Actually when I gave it to my students, most of them imagined it was a brother eating his little sibling's plums. They took the "they were delicious" line to be gloating

wrecka.bsky.social•4 days ago

but then obviously feeling bad and leaving an apology note. But a half-assed apology. It's so funny how people project their own experiences onto this poem

Someone wrote a parody on Twitter during the height of the pandemic along the lines of "I have purchased the avocados which you fondled with your 'rona hands" and I think of it daily

I have to find this 😂

wrecka.bsky.social•4 days ago

so cold... like the heart of the person who would eat his family's plums!!

marcusluther.bsky.social•4 days ago

Adding it to the list!

Gail Carson Levine wrote a book called “This Is Just To Say” which were all false apology poems based on fairy tales. It might be young for your HS but there were a few that might be fun for the end of your lessons/ unit.

It would be an interesting experiment to see how many women react with anger vs men who react with praise.

What?? Insane.

thevogelman.bsky.social•4 days ago

😂 Honored to be in this group and to learn from you too Chanea 🙂

mrneibauer.bsky.social•4 days ago

Your setup made me giggle, too! Having a community of teachers who build each other up is so important. I’m humbled to be grouped together with y’all! 🙏🏻
