#will keep doing it

Me, getting to school a half-hour early so I can go through all my automatically generated Star Test Prep Scantron sheets and manually change the names of my trans and nonbinary students so they don't have to see their deadname.

Me to me: Is this silly? They probably won't even care. I'm not going to do this next time.

One of my trans students, quietly approaching my desk at the end of the day: Were you the one that changed my name on the bubble sheet?

Me: Yes?

Student: No one has ever done that for me before. I almost didn't come today because I didn't want to deal with it. Thank you.

Me to me: Ok never mind.

Supporters Vs. Opposition

You know what's awesome? When you finally embrace your purpose; supporters, and opposition have both fulfilled their roles (as long as you are viewing the larger picture). Let's take a closer look.

Supporters have done what they have always done. They've supported you. They have done this even when you haven't noticed it. They are truly inspiring. They are the ones that words can't describe; you can only nod your head, and be thankful that you have had the pleasure of having crossed paths with them.

Opposition. 😂🤣😂... They are funny. They have a purpose too. Yes, they have discouraged with their sideways jokes, and encouraging curve balls (check out the videos I have made on them). Still, they serve a purpose. They have helped you to see who they are - even though they tried to fool you with, " I was just joking!". Oh yeah, and one of my favorites, " I'm real!! You didn't know?! I tell it how it is!". That second comment is partially true, because they have found a way to tear down with words, but think they are... 🤔😏 Clever?-- in labeling their destructive talk. This is not to be confused with constructive criticism (I've made a video on this as well). Either way you should be looking for healthy ways to overcome either case... Let me help... Just a little.

Know what you can discuss with them. Let them help you build resilience for even more destructive talk down the road. In other words use it as fuel for you to cross the finish line in meeting your goals.

Know how to move with both of these types of people. Supporters are gonna support, even if it is for a brief moment in your life. Opposition will let you know where they stand (no matter how much they try to disguise it).

At the end of the day it is up to you to see your dreams through. Others will be who they are, and they contribute what they contribute - for better, or worse. It's up to you to fulfill your purpose. Utilize what you can use to your benefit; the rest... I am sure you can find some way to use what they give you. I will help you again... Some people are good examples of what not to do. A good friend taught me that.

The aforementioned thoughts are what fuels the following hashtags. I hope it does the same for you:

wait wait another question actually what’s a song you really like that you think would surprise people? and what’s the most “off brand” thing you do regularly?

okay i went into my spotify for this, here’s a couple suggestions, i don’t think i get to be the judge on what would surprise people. is it based on my appearance? my personality? i think there might be some different ideas. some people foolishly think i’m cool, and others know i am not

touch fluffy tail by ken ashcorp

stacey’s mom by fountains of wayne

let it go from frozen

girls in bikinis by poppy

when he sees me from waitress

okay wow that was actually VERY fun. let me know if any of these surprises any of you, idk

see off brand has me once again wonder how people perceive me. some people think i’m cool! and they’re wrong! i have genuinely sat down and listened to an hour loop of #1 victory royale! i do think maybe some people expect me to be more of a bitch. and like, yes i am MOODY. i cannot lie. but i am actually very nice and smiley even though i dress like i do.

idk maybe you (all) should send me stuff you think i do or listen to and i’ll answer y/n
