So happy to see people enjoying these and spreading the love 💖

UPDATE with some suggestions from the replies! And bonus: cookie kudos.

HTML codes under the cut.

One thing I’ve learned in 26 years of teaching is how to write a professional, yet bitchy email with plausible deniability.

I just wrote “Since I’ve not received a response to the initial email I am unaware of an alternative solution.”

I’m perimenopausal….don’t fuck with me…

If I’ve ever doubted that the English language is a scam, and grammar is awful, transcribing something from the 1860s has convinced me.

I now have beef with a lawyer suing for libel about a sailing accident.

I’m both disappointed and content with the ending of Good Omens.

I hate the fact Neil couldn’t keep it in his pants and fucked the whole series.

We lost a shit ton of world building and back story. Like all the damn side characters were just decimated. Their forgiveness arc was lacking.

But fuck. They end up in love and together.

Got called mean today because of the following things.

They were 8th graders. So 13+

1. Gave them two consecutive verbal directions and tried to move on after 3 minutes. The directions were 1. Open Clever 2. Click on Tinkercad

2. Said aloud “The instructions were.” Multiple times.

3. Called out kids when they asked why we weren’t progressing. “Well some of us are still staring at the Clever log in.”

4. Called kids over the microphone system to move to a different area because our internet port couldn’t handle 50 kids. They didn’t listen the first or second time.

Adjacently tried to add a couple of EL students to the system. I tried to pronounce one of their names. Epically failed by their collective laughter. I said “Yea I know my accent is terrible.” They gave me the “Yes you are white, but thanks for apologizing” look. Normally I’m relatively good at it, but sometimes the vowels and consonants don’t translate to my brain and ears.

Am I paranoid?

Sevenish years ago I ordered fabric from Spoonflower in a certain Disney owned space property theme. Received said fabric, designer immediately gone from site.

NOW I ordered a couple of Needlepoint canvases that were leftist and sassy on Etsy. Let’s just say one was critical of the U.S. president. Again received said canvasses. Shop no longer found.

I’m kind of distraught. Like is it me, or bad timing, or copyright protection working? I’m just trying to express my rage and support small businesses.

I did not have my coworker reading out loud the lyrics to “Birthday Sex” on my bingo card.

Apparently one of students is related to Jeremih. My new parapro (who is African American) told us both about this.

I vaguely knew that this was a song…(I’m white…but chronically online)

My other parapro (who is ten years older and not social media savvy, and frankly “that white”) looked up the song and proceeded to read the lyrics aloud.

I’m sitting in my office second hand embarrassed and dying. Her delivery was so deadpanned.

I was terrified also since our superintendent was in the building giving out awards…

Honestly FML… they’re gonna get me disciplined…

In other news. I was talking to my mother about my friend’s cat. I’m pretty severely allergic (I don’t know how to describe non lethal but ugly symptoms) since like 1983 when my grandparents got a cat and each weekly visit was a nightmare.

She was like “haven’t you grown out of it?”

I listed all of the times I’ve had issues since I was a literal child. Think skin breakouts, eye swelling, and nasal issues.

I make the mistake of saying I would choose a Siamese cat if I could have one (like said friend).

“Can’t you take something or do something about it?”

I love my dog, but I don’t love her species enough to take shots regularly or take more meds every day. The hairless cats are not only expensive but maintenance heavy.

I’m never getting one. The cat distribution system tried when I was under 8 and with my Polish grandma on the streets of Chicago. She stopped me before I could even touch the orange striped kitten meowing for affection. (I still remember)

Unless some team of allergic, introverted, neurospicy scientists want to solve this conundrum, it won’t happen.

THE NEURO CLINIC IS ONLY OPEN 3 HOURS A DAY ARE YOU FUCKING JOKING

I was in the hospital for a migraine and growth behind my ear and they referred me to the rapid neurology clinic and they’ve just called me and asked if I can come in on Monday between 9 and noon AS IF I DONT HAVE A FUCKING JOB and when I asked if they’re open after 3:30 because I teach they’re like no we only operate from 9 to noon Monday to Friday

lmao what a fucking JOKE guess I’ll just die then

Time for an experiment!

You know those cute little roadside stands out in the country that have honors-system eggs or produce?

Look, I know I live in "big scary Philadelphia oooh 👻" but I'm gonna try it.

What's the worst that can happen? Thieves create habitat for native bees? Jokes on them! I wanted them to do that!

The goal is to get beneficial species into the dirt in this neighborhood. 99% of people have no clue why native plants are important. Those that do have to really go out of their way to find them. They're available! But you have to buy online or drive a half hour. Removing barriers is critical!

Shoutout to Pinelands nursery for the donation of these plants!

They're my go-to supplier when I need a lot of plants. They supply wholesalers and educational nonprofits!

For individuals, Good Host Plants is my go-to out in East Falls (I suspect they get their plants from Pinelands Nursery too!)

Hello little Ryland Grace why are you in space even!

Am I paranoid?

Sevenish years ago I ordered fabric from Spoonflower in a certain Disney owned space property theme. Received said fabric, designer immediately gone from site.

NOW I ordered a couple of Needlepoint canvases that were leftist and sassy on Etsy. Let’s just say one was critical of the U.S. president. Again received said canvasses. Shop no longer found.

I’m kind of distraught. Like is it me, or bad timing, or copyright protection working? I’m just trying to express my rage and support small businesses.

So one of our lovely students decided it was a wise choice to get into verbal argument with our school resource officer on Friday.

(For context the children run the home. Parents don’t discipline or parent. They live across from the school and the current student is late every day.)

The student got threatened with arrest for disorderly conduct. (Something I thought would happen once they started driving) Didn’t come to school today.

Sometimes I need to vocal stim “Baby Jane Doe” and have Professor Perlman tell me “Don’t kill it with the love you felt.”

So a teacher at my school wanted her son to help one of her students. Problem is, he’s also a teacher and his break is this week so he’s in charge of his 19 month old (daughter-in-law works in our district which has break beginning today). So conundrum occurs, what to do with said child for 40 minutes. The library parapros and I become the solution. All I said was I wouldn’t do diapers.

He was the most quiet 19 month old ever. He fell asleep in one of my parapro’s arms. Middle schoolers were entranced. I wanted to snuggle him so bad, but he latched on to her. He was questioning his life choices at 19 months, but so adorable.

I’m really sorry to hear about your health scare :/ I’ve been on a period-stopping, menopause-starting medication since 2022 and haven’t had a consistent period at all since then, so I know if I started bleeding again I’d immediately think it was the C word too. I’m glad you’re getting the tests you need, I hope they’re quick (I know they won’t be painless, I’ve had the works done down there and I despise the wand) and I hope you get decent news. It sucks. my dms are open if you want to chat. we’re not in the same boat exactly but there’s a lot of overlap I think so I’m happy to help <3 sending lots of love!

Thank you so much for this reply. ❤️

I’m trying to remain positive. I have no time or energy to dwell.

My Drs. Have been amazing.

All my love for the support and you.
