#they will learn

[thecouncilofdumdums]

I hate being friends with normies sometimes because sometimes you’ll get back from testing and when they ask where you were and you explain they pull out the “wait…. Self diagnosed or medically diagnosed…”

I’m fortunate enough to be medically diagnosed and have a team of doctors trying to figure out my unknowns, but some people don’t have that privilege. Just because some CHILDREN go through a weird phase where they might pretend to have disorders does NOT mean you can go ahead and assume that everyone who is self diagnosed is faking. Disorders don’t just appear after a doctor writes up the diagnosis.

I hope you don't mind me asking, but would you mind reposting your foxtrot comic here? It was the one about waking up in the middle of the night, and by the end of it, she was being comforted by her lover. I tried scrolling through your Twitter to find it myself, but alas.

I just mentioned a fictional pairing in passing to the spouse (talking about a fic I was reading) and got a ten minute attempt to persuade me that the spouse’s blorbo needs to be with his current canon boyfriend and that no one else is good enough for him.

(My good spouse, we have been poly for ten years. Can we not maybe think of a solution to this problem)

when I asked my players if they had fun during their first session of my PG-13 Curse of Strahd game, my brand-new-to-TTRPGS-player said that they enjoyed it because they got to "act crazy"

they... hustled a man into paying for their rooms and drinks at the tavern. that's what they thought was acting crazy.

I politely congratulated them on their first session and didn't mention the many horrific crimes just sort of sprinkled throughout CoS RAW.

and then my seasoned player politely did not mention the crimes they were going to commit that session before they realized the other two players are sweet summer children

I snapped this morning after reading another student message just being like “RESPOND ASAP - why did I get a zero on this” and downloaded a whole lesson plan on email etiquette.

today i had a student ask me what the past tense of “yeet” was

and me, being a tumblr veteran who spends entirely too much time on the internet, automatically replied, “yote”

and this girl was like “YES! I TOLD YOU!”

and i was like “wait hang on, did you ask any other teachers this, or just me? what does it say about me that you knew i would answer this question and not only not question your use of the word ‘yeet’ but that I would also know the past tense?” 

i legit had a miniature existential crisis from this. i don’t think there’s another teacher at my school who could accurately answer that question, and i don’t know if that scares me or if it makes me proud of my status as meme queen.
