Hey Tumblr! My Algebra ll teacher has a line of her own merch, (the Hogue Smiley), and she mentioned in class that it'd be great if it could spread because she'd love for this memorization method she made to be widespread. :)

Here's the post she made on Google Classroom. So, if anyone is bored and would like to make her day, it'd be appreciated. I'm sure she'd be super excited. She is my favorite teacher and by far probably the teacher who loves her job the most. She seemed very excited when we started using the Hogue Smiley.

Here's the Hogue Smiley method, you square, multiply, and square again. It's honestly such a wonderful memorization method. She also loves it because then she'll see smiley faces all over peoples homework.

And hey, if this gets enough attention for people to care enough, this is the Hogue Smiley instagram, (yes, there's a shop. And yes, she takes suggestions on different kinds of merch if she can make it work...shhh, don't tell her I sent you 👀):

Trans people just existing is no more sexual than when cis people just exist.

Under the headcanon that the blades of the hunter weapons only hurt demons

Ive been thinking about the possibility of pre-debut Zoemira just using their weapons willy nilly around the place and just occasionally not de-summoning them.

I mean… whats the harm?

Zoey throwing the dull side of her shinkal at the light switch when she doesn’t want to get up,

Mira using her gok-do to reach something too far away (yk, when smth is too far away so you grab a kind of long object nearby and try to use it to pull the thing you want closer) and now the blade is just waving around

Zoey using one of her shinkal to open something during couch time and forgetting it when it falls between the cushions

Its not like it can really hurt anyone that bad

Meanwhile Rumi is over here fighting for her life trying to lie on the couch only for something very sharp and painful to prick her. Or Rumi trying to get out of the way whenever Mira decides she cant be bothered to get off the couch.

Honestly i wouldn’t be surprised if the girls took their weapons very unseriously because they thought they couldn’t be hurt with them.

Or maybe just the girls wanting to train and wondering why Rumi was so adamant on never training with their actual weapons.

I could see younger Mira being a hothead and challenging Rumi and even pointing her actual weapon at Rumi to get some form of reaction. She didn’t expect Rumi to flinch so much which had been odd

Later Celine had chewed her out when she found out about it. Some whole spiel about not treating their sacred weapons like toys

It was something that struck them both as odd for a long time til they understood the reason why

Once when I was in undergrad, someone described something as “problematic” in class and our professor was like, “That’s cool, but ‘problematic’ doesn’t really mean anything. It means that the thing you’re describing has a problem, and in and of itself that’s not bad. Art, especially, should always have problems, or else it’s not interesting and not art, either. It sounds like you’re trying to say that this is bad, but you don’t want to say ‘bad.’ Is that right?”

So from then on whenever one of us called something problematic, he would make us talk it out until we could name the “bad” thing we were hinting at. In this particular class, 7/10 it was some type of oppression, and the remainder was like, “I’m uncomfortable because this is very new/confusing/pushing boundaries that made me feel safe.”

Once we stopped calling things “problematic” and stopping at that, class got way more interesting and... we all had to say, like, “that’s racist” or “that’s misogynistic” or “ew capitalism gross” out loud, which a lot of us had never done in a classroom before. Or we had to be like, “Uhhh... I’m not sure what’s so bad?” and confront our own beliefs and that was maybe even more useful.

Anyway. Whenever I see the word problematic, I can’t help but think of this professor being like, “Good starting point, now let’s get specific.” I think when we have to commit to saying “that’s ___” it requires a lot more careful thought about the truth and impact and complexities of whatever we’re claiming. Sometimes there really is some bullshit afoot, and also sometimes it’s art, and it should be full of problems, because that’s what art is.
