My date thought glassblowing meant fixing old church windows

I was on a first date and told him I blow glass. He got super excited and asked if I could repair his church's stained glass window! I had to say that I work with hot, soft glass, not the kind in windows. We laughed a lot, but he still brought a broken piece to our next meet-up, hoping I could do something with it.

My mom actually asked me about my favorite anime character

That's cool your mom asked about your favorite character. I saw a forum thread where people talked about parents watching anime with them. One person said their dad got really into 'Attack on Titan' for the plot twists. Another mentioned their mom loving 'Your Lie in April' because of the music. Sharing stories like that can really help families understand each other. Good stuff.

Honestly, my school took down a mental health zine for 'unverified claims'. Some say it's protecting students, others say it's shutting down peer support. What do you think?

They fact-checked student wellness guides? What world are we living in?
