school is good for me because 1. keeps me humble and 2. provides a distraction for when im miserable such that i will be miserable in a different direction

[flxwer-thing]

[radishnt]

God. I used capische unironically. What am I, an elementary school teacher?

[a-froggy-bloggy]

So I wrote a short story for school and I’m really proud of it!!

Please give it a read if you wouldn’t mind. I hope I get a good grade on it! And if you like it it would be super epic if you’d give it a reblog too 🥺

chris evans in knives out looked like an english teacher who like just started teaching and is kinda a dick but seems like he could be okay at first but then after a semester you can tell he goes into the bathroom and cries every single class on B days with a specific middleschool class that everyone hates

I’m So Happy!!

Our school is probably going to change name and logo!!

The current name is Junipero Serra High. This is the logo: 

Seem a bit racist? Yeah.

We are the Serra Conquistadors. This has always rubbed me the wrong way.

I’ve never actually looked into who JS was, but I do know some of what the conquistadors did, and praising it is just terrible.

I just did some surface level looking, and yikes.

I know that the spanish conquest is important to some people of Spanish heritage however, (See The Entrada Pageant). Trust me, I know. I lived in New Mexico, that place feels like my home even though I’ve lived here in San Diego longer now. I’ve been surrounded by Spanish culture my entire life, but I don’t claim to have even a surface level understanding of it. The conquistadors did terrible things and it’s good that we’re taking steps to stop glorifying their actions. Can we do the founding fathers next? Pretty please America?

I’m not saying we should forget what happened, we just shouldn’t name things like schools and libraries and other things after them. Because I didn’t even know who JS was. I just knew we are the Serra Conquistadors. I’d be fine with being named after JS if perhaps they did an assembly every year talking about what he did - good and bad - so that we can put it into perspective a bit more. Our mascot though.. Yikes.

If anyone would like to comment on this, feel free! I could be entirely wrong and if you wanna show me that I am I’m all for that. I enjoy learning about other cultures, and if I’m hurting someone with my ignorance, I’d much rather have someone step in and correct me than to keep hurting people with said ignorance.

Sorry for the random infodumping. 

P.S. Please listen to that podcast, it’s really really good.

I'm not doing poorly in school rn but I'm not doing amazing with my writing which feels weird like not that I'm used to being The Best Writer Ever or anything like that but I just think my standard has dropped significantly and I really do think it's like. ADHD kicking my ass right now for some reason more than before? I don't really get why it's different right now but I'm just extra distracted with extra difficulty starting projects extra tired all the time like idk but I'm going through it!

So I got tagged in two different ask memes at around the same time, once by @subarulesbian and once by @mollyglock and I’m going to consolidate them under one cut because some of the questions repeat

First, the one I was tagged in by @subarulesbian​. Because this one is longer and therefore has more of the repeats 1. How tall are you? 5′6.5

2. What color and style is your hair? Right now it’s shoulder-length brown fluff. Think like Regina Spektor’s hair if she didn’t brush or style it and rolled around a lot in her sleep.

3. What color are your eyes? Blueish grayish.

4. Do you wear glasses? Yes, though I often go without them

5. Do you wear braces? Not since eighth grade

6. What is your fashion style? Don’t have much of one, but I like leggings, sweaters, and adding pins and patches to jackets and jeans. 

7. Full name? Bethany Johanna

8. When were you born? October ‘97, though for Reasons I consider April 22 to be my Birthday, and it’s the one I Celebrate

9. Where are you from and where do you live now? Massachusetts, near Boston. And Massachusetts, near Boston.

10. What school do you go to? I go to a local Comewnitty Cawledge. 

11. What kind of student are you? Not an amazing one. Usually I know all the material but my executive dysfunction and anxiety causes me to miss or lose a bunch of the assignments and/or tests, and my migraines make me miss class, so I end up with very middling grades.

12. Do you like school? Depends on the subject, the atmosphere of the class, and how understanding the professor is about the aforementioned issues I have.

13. What are your favourite school subjects? well i majored in philosophy so i guess that lol.

14. Favorite TV shows? okay i like hardly watch tv anymore but i will come out of my cave for better call saul, stranger things, westworld, and bob’s burgers. also i’ve seen scrubs and the x files all the way through like a hundred times each.

16. Favorite books? The Animorphs series. Lately I’ve been rereading ASOUE, too. Other than excellent childrens’ series I mostly read nonfiction.

17. Favourite past-time? Chilling, talking to friends, art, listening to music

18. Do you have any regrets? Hah. Haha. I guess I’ll say “being too tolerant of bullshit.”

19. Dream job? Last time I got an ask meme I said “head of a successful band and author,” and then I realized I was describing Gerard Way, but I don’t really have a different answer. I’d love to rescue guinea pigs professionally but that’s even less attainable. 

20. Would you like to get married? Theoretically..... Dunno how likely it is though. Because of Circumstances

21. Would you like to have kids someday? Not biologically, never ever biologically, but I’d like to adopt.

22. How many? 2 or 3, probably. Sibling relationships are important to me

23. Do you like shopping? If I have a gift card and a lot of energy, yeah. Otherwise, no. and I hate clothes shopping

24. What countries have you visited? I can name every country in the world, but I have been to none outside the US.

25. What’s the scariest nightmare you’ve ever had? Oh, boy. You’ve gotta be way more specific than that. 

26. Do you have any enemies? Not super sure. I think there are some people who would consider me an enemy that I’ve just moved on from thinking about at all.

27. Do you have a s/o? Noooope. Not gonna do that again for awhile, either

28. Do you believe in miracles? Probably? Depends on what exactly you mean, again. I’ll say probably. Now, the one I was tagged in by @mollyglock

★ nickname: Most people just call me Bethany, but my ex used to call me “Bread” and Jay sometimes calls me “B” or “Bthany” (pronounced like bee-thany)

★ zodiac: tauruś 

★ height: 5′6.5″. yes the half inch is important (I know I already answered this but I think it’s funny that I didn’t have to change Robin’s answer at all)

★ last movie i saw: hhhhh I.... uh..... Oh! It was Bohemian Rhapsody.

★ last thing i googled: “november 2018 movies” trying to remember what the last movie I saw was. Before that “regina spektor hair” to make sure I was remembering right for my previous answers

★ favorite musician: 

now the last thing I googled was “gerard way deviantart stamp” 

★ song stuck in my head: “Come One, Come All” by All Time Low. I don’t really listen to them, but it’s on my playlist of “songs that are weirdly hateful towards DJs” 

★ other blogs: This is it babey

★ do i get asks: Sometimes! More often I get posts sent to me from the Messaging function

★ following: 569 but probably like half are inactive

★ followers: 339

★ amount of sleep: Absolutely completely varied and random. Today it was a lot, tomorrow it might be none.

★ lucky number: 13, I suppose

★ what i’m wearing: Magic school bus T-shirt, Cape Cod sweatshirt, and Jeggings. Because I’m an adult. Oh, and a warm beanie-ish type hat.

★ dream job: Already answered!

★ dream trip: I really want to see the world eventually... I’d be happy going just about anywhere tbh, but I really want to leave the country. Somewhere warm with really cool wildlife like Australia would be awesome.

★ favorite food: Anything that combines tomatoes with mozzarella or chocolate with peppermint. 

★ play any instruments: I did violin as a kid and still kinda remember how to play it, I’m an amateur at guitar, and I did voice for quite awhile but my voice is different than it was before so I fuck up singing a lot now

★ language: I’m only fluent in English, but I'm also conversational in ASL because my mom is an ASL interpreter and her BF and many of her friends I grew up around are all Deaf

★ favorite song: I’m going to follow Robin’s example and pick a Danger Days song, I’m gonna go with Party Poison! It seems appropriate since that whole ‘verse but also that song specifically is why the Party Poison symbol is the one I had Gerard draw so I can get it tattooed 

★ random fact: Birds are my Brand(tm) but I love guinea pigs just as much, and I have Three of them. whereas I only have the one bird

★ describe yourself in an aesthetic: I have little-to-no awareness of my own appearance or vibe, I don’t really know if I have an aesthetic? I’d like to think I give off an artsy and loving vibe. I pretty much always have paint and/or animal fur/hay on my clothes, so it seems possible.
