#newteachers if you’re really itching to do something before the school year starts up again, make that sub binder/folder/etc because you for sure will not want to do that when you’re sick

I don’t normally do midday posts like this one, and I am sorry for another post, but Donald Trump’s most recent remarks warrant it.

Exactly, we are not looking for validation, we want to live our lives
I know people mean well by sharing that "your validity is not dictated by an executive order" post, but it's not about validity.
No one needs anyone's permission to be "valid," but trans folks need legal protection, healthcare, and access to resources like healthcare.

I know this sounds weak, I know it.
But kindness is one of the few things we carry that can make a difference for each other.
We can’t undo all this hate, but we can still make life a little easier for others.

The spirits got a very thankful shot of whiskey for protecting our apartment this morning. A pipe burst in our apartment due to the cold weather and did so before I left the house for work. If it had burst at any other time this morning the damages would’ve been much worse. #witchsky
