"I'm in! Let's go! Let's do it!"

Fear is like this vicious little worm that lives inside you and eats you alive. You have to fight it. You have to accept that you'll never get rid of it, but fight it just the same.

I'm pretty gung ho. Unlike Cassie, unlike Tobias perhaps, I'm ruthless at times. But even I have enough sense to know the words "we have to win" are the first four steps on the road to hell.

Instead, ignoring the hideous pain, I chewed through my own tail.

He walked in silence beside me for a while. "How many Animorphs were there when you started?" "Six." "And now?" "Still six."

I wanted so much to live. I wanted so much to stay, and not to leave.

"You were brave. You were strong. You were good. You mattered."

Just had two fellow educators commend me on being able to say “I do not give a fuck” to children in a way that still seems kind.

I think it’s actually a skill I’ve been honing the last few years.

[sandersstudies]

This is EXACTLY what I’m talking about.

Not every kid needs to hear “I don’t give a fuck” but those who are overly anxious about making mistakes or explaining themselves often do.

I had a kid break a vase once in a building that we were visitors in, after I had told them how important it was to be respectful and careful of the items in the space.

She burst into tears and started running. I caught up to her, sat her down, and said something like “I know that was an accident. I’m not mad at all, but I see that that startled you. Take all the time you need to breathe and calm down and then come back.” (This was a student old enough to self-regulate and sit unattended.)

I ended the conversation there, and the student rejoined us on her own time really quickly.

This is not necessarily what’s needed for all students — but I knew this student tended to spiral and overexplain her mistakes, and time spent listening to her would lengthen the amount of time she was upset. Conveying “I don’t care” in a kind way was actually what she needed to hear.

[sandersstudies]

Stuff I want my students to know I don’t give a fuck about

Genuine accidents of any kind

Being late or absent with a reasonable excuse

Explanation for why they did something they weren’t supposed to (this is case-by-case but often I just tell them that if it’s not going to happen again, then I don’t care why it happened the first time — if it’s going to be an ongoing problem, then we should talk).

Stuff I want my students to know I do give a fuck about

Their safety and wellbeing

That they are choosing to be kind and respectful as often as they can

Their random stories and hobbies that they want to share with me at an appropriate time (“Friend I would love to see your Bakugo sketchbook but not when we’re in the middle of our discussion about Romeo and Juliet.”)

[rambunctiouslyram]

pov me when my friends are making references i dont understand

[literary-sparks]

“Why don’t you use ai” idk man beyond the obvious environmental and “this machine causes psychosis and encourages people to kill themselves” thing I think asking the equivalent of a solid D student who is also a pathological liar if they can answer my question/do the work for me seems pretty fucking stupid

so. i just learned that my entirely me-written resume flags as being AI-written by automated HR systems for a few writing quirks and the fact that i followed all the rules of good resume writing, which is apparently a telltale sign of AI use in this fucking hellworld. i've been desperately applying to jobs that i am massively overqualified for for months with no response, not even an interview, and now i find out that at least part of the reason is because some fucking moron decided that following the rules every career advisor has given me for a decade means i cheated and should be disqualified. the ai bubble cannot pop soon enough. what the actual fuck.

[puppygirllaika]

"frequent use of action-result sentences. bullet points all start with action verbs. no career gaps." girl what the fuck are you talking about. that's just resume writing advice being followed. i just did what i was told. it's a fucking resume. you're supposed to do all that stuff. what the fuck do you mean it looks ai generated and wouldn't pass basic detection systems?????????? for following the resume writing rules????????????

[boyslit]

very important addition from @thatsladyfaggottoyou ty <3

[doberbutts]

I started HRT at approximately 30 and top surgery at 32 just 4.5 months prior to this photo. It's never too late.

[thisblogdoesnotexisg]

so let me get this straight wunsoc, you (checks notes) took the infant wundersmiths away from their families, isolated them so that they only had other wundersmiths for company, educated them ONLY in the wundrous arts, made them cater to the rich and corrupt as one of their only lifelines, taught them that they were above ALL OTHERS, and proceeded to give them free reign over the 7 pockets??

and your new approach is (flips page) socially ostracizing your one and only wundersmith that wasn't murdered before they came of age by making her unit blame her for blackmail, making her look suspicious to everyone else on campus, then publicly outing her as a wundersmith after you've spent years demonizing the title has something to be revolted by?

ok yeah that works carry on (im elder Quinn)

Sewing "a little bit" is one of the most useful skills you can possibly have proportional to how cheap and easy it is to learn.

So many of the items in our daily lives are sew-able. A simple needle and thread changes the way you think. When an item breaks, you no longer think, "I guess I must buy a new one..." Instead, you think, "I guess I must fix it..."

How many of these everyday items rest for eternity in a landfill, because of a simple break that a needle and thread could have fixed? How many excess items were manufactured to make up for the forgetting of the humble needle and thread...?

I love you, needle and thread...

[holysoltemplito]

THISSSSSSSSS man the day my nonna's sewing kit was handed to me something changed in me

[judgemental-sunshine]

Its the wildest things that you can fix with sewing and problem solving skills. The elastic in a tent pole snapped on me right before a trip (my only shelter) and I couldn't poke the elastic through the segments AND the elastic snapped in half. I managed to use a needle and thread to reconnect the segments and connect the two pieces of elastic together (really, really sturdily) so the tent works like normal. The tent would have been thrown away if I couldn't do that.

you don’t realize how important lunch is until you’re wandering around thinking about how unloveable and untalented and uniquely cursed you are and then it’s 4pm and you finally eat lunch and you go Oh. oh right.

[casgirl]

The thing is. I would eat the grapes. I would eat the pomegranate seeds. I would eat the Turkish delights. It doesn’t matter what the stakes are if you put a little plate of snacks out in front of me I’ll eat them.

[casgirl]

If you sent me to an evil fantasy realm and told me that if I ate anything I would die a painful terrible death then set a charcuterie board down in front of me that would be it for me. Like it wouldn’t even be like a torturous internal struggle to not eat the cheese. I wouldn’t even need to be that hungry.

I just made some bullshi 😂✌️
