A co-worker that really should have figured out I'm not straight by now asked why I'd been wearing even more rainbows than usual the past few months.
I said I wanted our students to know where I stood without saying anything, to let them know they're safe in this school.

yearly reminder to people insisting that we view Christopher Columbus as "a man of his time" that *the people responsible for the Spanish Inquisition* thought Columbus was out of pocket
Christopher Columbus was dragged back to Spain in chains by a crusading knight, convicted of tyranny and immeasurable cruelty, pardoned by Isabella but banned from returning to Hispaniola.
Fuck Columbus.
Fuck Columbus.

The president of the United States just declared war, actual military war, not a metaphorical one, on a major American city, and one governed by his political opponents.
In any other period, this would be impeachment-worthy.

So does the "after consulting with their doctors" bit mean we're going to need a prescription or referral to get the updated covid vaccine?
Bc my doctor has a "if you're not dying, it's a 3 month" wait understaffing problem. 🫠

Agents amass in DC, unclear why or which agency. Some masked.
Residents: “You’re in a church parking lot—get out!”
“We don’t want you kidnapping our neighbors!”
Agents start recording too.
Soon decide to leave, some mockingly wave their phones. They zoom down the 25mph road, skimming by our feet.

Firing and demoralizing feminized jobs as enemies of the state while brazenly bribing men with violent jobs that almost instantly puts them into the middle of middle class is very basic gendered warfare. Fulfilling the manosphere’s promise.
It is insane to me that the government can find money to pay ICE agents increasingly larger sums of money, yet teachers have to buy their own pencils.

I know of this British accent/affectation of accent but it's funnier to me if the cavalry talk like Homestar Runner
Imagine it's 1850 and you've just been flattened by an elite cavalry officer who just yells "SOWWY" as he thunders away.
![Screenshot of a tweet:
British cavalry in the 1850s consisted entirely of twinks who used UwU-speak...
[Photo of a book page] "The dash of British cavalry officers was never greater than at the opening of the Crimean campaign in the spring of 1854. These aristocratic horsemen were, in the idiom of the day, "plungers," "tremendous swells." They affected elegant boredom, yawned a great deal, spoke a jargon of their own, pronouncing "r" as "w," saying "vewwy," "howwid," and "sowwy," and interlarded sentences with loud and meaningless exclamations of "Haw, haw." Their sweeping whiskers, languid voices, tiny waists, laced in by corsets, and their large cigars were irresistible, frantically admired, and as frantically envied. Magnificently mounted, horses were their passion; they rode like the devil himself, and their confidence in their ability to defeat any enemy single-handed was com-plete. Cavalry officers were saying in London drawing-rooms that to take infantry on the campaign was superfluous; the infantry would merely be a drag on them, and had better be left at
home."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:uqonrv6u7reqli3kksljamwr/bafkreifqd3kvkwqy6k2vuajha3vrughks5bfvl72vglbaywl7nnzyxwqp4@jpeg)
