You know the space between the rainbows in a double rainbow, is that technically light waves we can’t see? Like if we could, would it be a really big rainbow?

Today‘s lab has me like this fr

I never have time for a board and stone class so I’m just gonna pound a pohaku I found in the stream by my apt with a hammer and hope for the best.

Anytime someone tells me their ancestry DNA tests I have to hold my tongue

I JUST finished grading everything and was about to close my window when *ding* another submission 😭

My students: we didn't use citations because that knowledge/fact came from my head Me: wow, so bold. You were born preloaded with knowledge?

Why is all the yogurt non-fat!?That’s what makes it good 😭

Guess I’m never using deodorant or brushing my teeth again

Has Hawaii become so colonized that I can no longer buy poi at any random grocery store? What kind of hell is this?

my cat's pica is so bad, the only way to remedy it is get rid of every single piece of fabric and plastic in the house and go naked. like, she'll eat the shirt off my literal back sometimes. how do you fix it? I'm scared she's going to die from an intestinal blockage, this last bout was really bad.

Happy Indigenous Peoples Day! Here are 5 bands to add to your playlist. #punkblack

Despite what it seems, I am not a workaholic, Hawaii is just expensive af and I have a kid and pay for eeeverythiiiiing alone. I would like to work less and enjoy my hobbies, but oh well. At least I like my job(s) now.

In other news, I got that other lecturer position I interviewed for so now I have two colleges fighting over me to be full time there instead lol

Mutual Aid is the greatest aid @ziibiing.com just out here doing Creator's work

Today was such a long day. Functioned on no sleep bc my cat decided to exorcist barf all over my books/bookshelf (made of crates 🙃) at 2 in the morning then taught from 9-5 straight. Feel like absolute shit 😭

On a scale of 0-100, how serious is a car about being on empty?

in all my years of teaching science, I will never understand what it is about independent and dependent variables that just absolutely stumps students

been doing my own graph of the week for my HS science class and turns out there was a whole website dedicated to this already 😩 virtualscienceteachers.org/graph-of-the...

oh my gaaaaaawwd fall break is oooovvverrrrr

Look at how cute she is

In short:

My fucking stupidly high ass took one contact out before bed then went to bed still wearing the other one

Why does eggers’ nosferatu look like Harry du bois?

2nd edible? Yes or no? Trust me, I don’t think the 2nd edible will be a mistake this time around

Do you think a fireball ice cream float would be any good?

I was trying to explain Disco Elysium to someone who never heard of it and everything that came out of my mouth made it sound like the most cliche/trope filled detective mystery that I had to keep saying, but it’s different, I swear

I find it funny that Honolulu always makes these major US cities list bc there is nothing particularly special about it besides the fact that it’s in “Hawaii”. If you’re looking for horrible city infrastructure bc they implemented landlocked and car based urban planning on a tiny island, then sure

College students just assume that i am smart. How presumptuous of them.

This family needs your help.

“Everything is sacred” Yeah, well here is my sacred mahu shit from my sacred Hawaiian butt

*whispers* I think the emphasis on the “sacredness“ of kakau uhi and genealogy is overhyped and I bet makaainana were just getting whatever’s tattooed long ago just like people do today *tiptoes off my soap box*

About to paint the stupidest fucking thing at a pottery painting place

I got a pack of cosmic brownies out of nostalgia from my pothead days and those munchies really have you eating straight up clay

I was too bold and went on a hike in shorts with no bug spray so guess who has around 30 super itchy mosquito bites bc they are a mosquito magnet and also allergic 🙃

One of my students used to be a paramedic with my dad lol. When I told them his name, they started cracking up and I was like, yup, they know my dad 😂

I miss when I had time to garden

I like this hike bc there used to be so much strawberry guava to eat, but it looks like DLNR actually does get shit done and removed them all so this was literally the only one I could find 😭 Oh, and here’s some petroglyphs

Never got this one before. I give them props for sounding it out pretty well lol

This family needs your support

University presidents are flying to DC and lobbying to be the first to lick boots until they shit eyelets but some of y'all are still acting like a DOGE employee with ChatGPT open in the background isn't going to be the one awarding NSF grants to the same 20 institutions that play ball.

Donate to Alyssum for health insurance enrollment!

my daughter and I were looking at art and there was one of a pope and she was like, what’s a pope, then I had to explain church and god and she was like, i don’t understand any of this, and I was like, damn, wow, what a completely different life from me you’ve had so far

Robin Williams' daughter has some quality thoughts on AI slop

Not only is AI not the future, but it is the anti future. It is the rejection of the very idea that we can progress & grow & become something new. Many of the component parts of AI may have some some genuine use cases, but AI as it is sold is an attempt to rob us of our future.

Snake bites? Yes or no?

gonna stay a HS teacher bc it keeps me humble lol

I stopped calling Octavia butlers work prophetic once I realized she herself literally said that her work was influenced by deeply studying history which gave have her insight into the future. I realized I was watering down how truly brilliant she was and what she was trying to get across

College faculty in another world istg. They asked ab teaching HS & I was discussing how I’m worried they’ll want me to do chem bc we have 0 supplies or $$ & would have to start from scratch. They’re like, they have affordable kits. And I’m like, what part of $0 budget do you not understand

The way these profs label their curriculum is absolute chaos. Pre-reading assignment, Post-class reflection, Pre-class activity. Sometimes they put it in the week they would assign it, sometimes they put it in the week it's due. Shit, just call it all fucking homework.

Fall break for HS but not for college and it’s taking all my willpower to show up to teach my college courses
