I'm not OLD-old, but I am old enough that I will just speak my motherfucking mind about things that a lot of people would stay quiet about. Things like: "I was under the impression that we would have an extra PAID meeting for this." and "This is a pointless task that I don't have time for."

everyone always talks about grizzly hills music and yes, daytime music with the fiddles is ICONIQUE but few talk about how beautiful the night music is. the first two minutes of this video soothe my soul in a way few things can. www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLJS...

after joking that i was not being let out of my cage to chaperone a field trip, i seized my opportunity: "i'm NOT coming out of my cage, and i am NOT doing just fine."

oh ok, so this is gonna be a "shock myself on the door every time i open it" type of day. cool.

excuse me i didn't sign up for 40 degree weather in florida. fix it. also i think i packed my scarf/hat away since i'm moving so i hope it doesn't get that much colder because i don't wanna have to dig that shit out.

If you haven’t suffered through houselessness, financial stress, or food scarcity — if you have never faced trials of adversity out of your control — Unkindly shut the fuck up trying to speak on it as if it were a lived experience for you.

genuinely surprised scotus didn't even wanna hear marriage equality but i'll take the small Ws when i get 'em

fuck democrats in congress. spineless pieces of shit, the lot of them.

so apparently there's a bug in minecraft bedrock (which i play) with the cursor which causes it to move beyond where i've moved it, the title bar menu to pop up, or for it to click on my other monitors. basically makes the game unplayable. so i guess no minecraft until mojang fixes it. sigh.

Was at the symphony, as I do sometimes. The piece was Bernstein's Kaddish Symphony, which, for those who don't know, is a requiem for victims of the Holocaust and a reckoning for the world. It's been 80 years since the end of the Holocaust, so the show was poignant and timely.

i love how tumblr blocks innocuous posts as having adult content but the dick and balls always make it to my dash.

God my roots look terrible. Do I bleach and dye my hair tomorrow? I feel like I absolutely need to. Thought it could wait until thxgiving break but that’s two weeks.

Someone explain to me why the district sent a phone blast to everyone on a Saturday to invite us all to a “gathering” I thought there was an emergency which is what that line is usually used for.

i tuned in to 5 minutes of someone playing the demo of kirby air riders and all i could see was the screen jumping back and forth from whatever dash mechanic is happening and it gave me a headache. i am not a kirby player myself but i hope for other people's sake the whole game isn't like that.

dog woke me up to go out around 4:30 and here i am, at 6:30 awake again because i had ANOTHER nightmare. things are not going well.

I have been in bed less than an hour and I started my night with an active threat nightmare. Like wow, ok, my bad for wanting to sleep.

BIG tired of teachers who work off the clock for free expecting me to do the same. We were told we would have a PAID meeting to do this task, why are you doing it at home, for free? I don't care if I am labeled as difficult. I will not work for fucking free. Period. End of. No.

there's 21 teachers out today so anyway today is going to be an absolute shitshow GEE, i wonder why so many teachers are out? could it be that we HAVEN'T HAD A SINGLE DAY OFF SINCE LABOR DAY?

so anyway i did a group rotation activity today and i gave my students temporary assigned seats to work with other people for a change because this is good for them and you would think i told them i was going to murder their pets in cold blood the way they reacted. i was like IT'S FOR ONE DAY. omfg.

me @ my students any time i try to do a fun activity www.youtube.com/watch?v=aYmO...

these kids today were trying me a hell of a lot more than they were trying their work and i. am. exhausted.

This day sucked ass.

i'm hungry and i know what i want but i don't want to cook it. so what i'm going to do instead is eat something that is simple and microwaveable. maybe tomorrow i'll be a productive adult who cooks food.

Glad to see all of the wins throughout the country tonight but I'm frustrated at how short the memories of voters are. Everyone is voting like they're pissed off (which they should be) but also where the fuck was this energy last year? Too bad people couldn't remember 2017 when they voted in 2024.

fuck yeah gg new york!!!

Sharing this! I don’t have any elections in my precinct but you might! Local elections matter!

Student came up to my desk and I asked him, "What do you need?" "$300,000." "Bitch me too!" (yes, I said those exact words. no, I am not sorry)

one of my students today asked me if i thought she was gay and i told her that i do not sit there and contemplate the sexuality of my students

help i'm looking at photos from senior night and i'm trying not to cry

Ho hum, another Saturday looking through housing listings trying to find something affordable, not in a floods zone, not hurricane damaged, not 38483 miles from work, and accepts VA financing. Fuck my liiiffffffeeeeeeee

i have suddenly started getting a lot more "get hard longer" and "enhance your erection" emails and i really would like the people sending these to look at the name on my email and tell me whether either my first or middle name look like they describe a person with a penis.

one of the other teachers (i don't know her name but i know her face, she's not in my department so i don't really interact with her much) came up to me and said, "you always have the BEST costumes, do you have like a closet of them or something?" lol. i WISH i had a closet of costumes.

this is college application week and there have been a lot of college-related things on the announcements this week but the actual worst part was our principal singing - BADLY - his college fight song at 7:30 in the morning. props for not taking himself too seriously but like. oh lord.

today is a great day for animal crossing fans~ acnh update coming and we get an ac:cf run in gdq? hell yeah folks.

i LOVE @gamesdonequick.com doing these teasers as we get closer to the the full games list reveal. It gets me SO HYPE! I'm so bummed I can't go this time around but I am going to be right here planting my butt at my computer watching as much of the event as I can!

OMFG AN ACNH UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!

one of my students (he is 17) told me he's running for president and i said "you gotta be 35 to run for president" and he was like "fuck dude they don't follow no damn rules idk why i should" and i was like u know what u have an EXCELLENT point here.

this seller got me fucked up man. they promised a response by monday and it is now wednesday. STOP JERKING ME AROUND. DID I GET THE FUCKING HOUSE OR NOT. because if not, i can keep looking for a place and not sit on my hands doing fucking nothing to get out of the place i'm in. jesus fucking christ.

fyi i do have something cooking for streams to return but i need to figure out where the hell i'm gonna live first

ALSO back in waiting purgatory because I put an offer on this place on Friday and the seller said they'd have an answer for me by... yesterday... and I still have not heard anything. This shit is annoying.

i have a hunch that one of my coworkers will be transferring to another school at the end of this year and as much as i like her as a person, her negativity about work is not doing my mental any favors whatsoever.

nothing like spending 20 minutes at the start of my work day trying to figure out how to disable a feature that's very annoying but everyone else on the internet seems to love.

Sel’s run: “sacrifice my spouse for grilled cheese” and I’d be lying if I said I’ve never thought about it. @gamesdonequick.com

just got a telemarketing call to support the police and imma go ahead and say it with my full chest right here: FUCK THE POLICE. usually don't answer calls from ppl i don't know but i have a work event that i'm not present at so i thought it might be someone from there. but no. FUCK. THE. POLICE.

dude i wish collective bargaining was better. so we have a union, and it bargains a LOT to our contract for quality of life but it really falters on pay. they negotiated us a less than 1% raise this year. why are we accepting this????? this is abysmal.

fucking MASSIVE W happened in my life right now the art institute loans that i have been waiting on cancellation because of fraudulent claims? like. i didn't think this would EVER happen. they're. they're gone. holy motherfucking holy fuck. this isn't all of my loans (fucking wish lol) but HUGE.

oh ok i'm just gonna sneeze 8 million times today ok cool

I hate how tired I get when it’s not even 10:30 now like fuuuuck man.

was struggling within my preapproved price range so i called my lender and asked if we could go a bit higher. said i had done some numbers and plan to pay some things off quickly and pretty please can i borrow more money so i can buy a place? it worked. got an extra $35k approved because i asked.
