It’s amazing that parents think they can threaten me into changing classroom policies for one kid. Even the best behaved kids in my class are 12-13 years old; they all have their knucklehead moments.

I’ve reached the point of the year where I’m so tired, it’s physically painful. I’d really like to sleep instead of going to work but fuck me, I guess

I’m trying to decide if my general frustration with *everything* at work is a hormonal low or everyone being extra stupid.

I got my vaccines/boosters for the year yesterday and my body is such a baby. I have all that painful sensitivity you get during a high fever, but oops! My temp is only 99.

The sudden switch to cold, damp weather makes me feel like a selkie who finally got to don her skin and go for a swim.

Bless me, BSky moots, for I have sinned: I gave serious thought to misgendering a student because of repeated transphobic to another student

I’ve been seeing DA:Veilguard stuff again because it recently ended up in GamePass and it reminded me of one beef I have with gamers. Only 6% of y’all chose to make your Rook a dwatf?!

I used to pay for most streaming services so I have access to media to use in class without 🏴☠️. I’m pissed that I’m losing access to resources because CEOs are fucking cowards who refuse to stand up to authoritarians.
The silver lining is that I’m gonna be saving several hundred $$$ a year.

Job creep has gotten to the point that I have to take grading home ever weekend; I don’t have time during contract hours to grade. Grading at home takes probably three times as long because 🐈⬛🐈⬛🐈⬛

AI hot take: you know it’s shit because you have people constantly saying, “it’s here to stay! Get used to it!” I don’t remember people having to do vigorously defend other tools like social media and smartphones.

I’m getting sick of micromanagement. I’ve been told to take one document that’s used twice, exactly the same both times, and save it as two files with two different names.

It’s happening!!!!!!! I trust that Team Cherry was taking the necessary time to make a great game
BREAKING: Silksong will be out on September 4. Two weeks from today. Really.
Often, games that take 7+ years to make are plagued by mismanagement and painful burnout. But for Silksong? Team Cherry was having a blast. They still are.

I’ve been seeing a pet peeve of mine a lot lately so I thought I’d share. Whimsy is not a synonym for bad and/or childish. There are folks who aren’t fans of whimsy, which is fine. Say it’s not for you and move on. Stop shitting on creative choices that weren’t made for you.

Anyone else have those moments where you really start to wonder if your cat understands what you’re saying, then they immediately do the thing you asked them not to?
