US soldiers are not the fucking victims, and never will be. So many of you are ridiculous.

my daughter is almost 3 (he is 5) she loves frozen (does he like frozen?) she likes our cats (does he have pets?) she loves her grandparents (will he see his again?) is he scared? (she would be so scared) does he miss his mom? (she cries at daycare drop-off sometimes) he's wearing a bunny hat (she sleeps with a stuffed pig) he is 5 (what are we doing) she is almost 3 (what the fuck are we doing)

As someone with psoriasis, I'm thankful the president makes my skin look nice by comparison.
Wrote a chapter where the main drama is time going by while two people don't act on their feelings. I find it so hard to write stuff where "nothing is happening" like that.
Currently writing a transmasc King Arthur who falls in love with a transfem Robin Hood, and I'm really vibing with it.
I love teaching so much, and AI bullshit consistently makes me want to quit my job. Like, I got this job to work with students, not to be the AI police. And the admin passes all the responsibility of dealing with it onto instructors, it sucks.
This kind of thing happens all the time. There's a huge imbalance of what students can talk about and write about vs what teachers can do in response. Personally I think if they are allowed to bring their religious and personal beliefs into the classroom, we should be too.
I was teaching a writing class with some coteachers, and a student posted some anti-trans arguments in our group discussion space. Rather than moderate the space, we shut down the entire group discussion board for multiple classes. Because we can't be seen as "political" as teachers.
But if they don't let the Republicans walk all over them, how will they hold us hostage for our votes in the midterms?
I'm so fucking sick of this shit.
I almost can't believe they actually just gave up with nothing. Like, I thought they would cave, but not for litterally nothing.
Perfect example of someone so self centered that they cannot muster up an ounce of actual humility to properly apologize.
The problem is once you transition and still aren't happy, you have to accept that the actual problem keeping you from happiness is.... that you're fucking broke.
The book I'm writing exists in a society where everything is even more pointlessly gendered than our own, so I wanted to make up a title for a woman doctor, as a commentary. Then I found out "doctress" is a real word and I hate everything.
This is my β¨ worst β¨ month of book sales in over a year. Boo hiss. So! To avoid being sad and moaning, I want to help out others also struggling to get notice on their books/art. If you are also having a bad sales month, drop your links below! ππ
AWS killed Canvas the day my assignments are due, my students are going to email me about it all day. It's gonna be a long one...
Rest in power, Miss Major.

We have moderators on bluesky?
Take that swift, that's what happens when you try to overshadow my birthday with your album release!
Pickle soup.
I love Fire Emblem so much. Nothing could stop me from playing the new game! Oh... right, my bank account.
For real, I'd be so excited right now if it wouldn't cost me a switch 2 to play.
this sort of irony that occurs where the "anime femboy" archetype is a legibility lens on youth transfemininity filtered by heterosexual consumption (the -boy as much as in tomboy; subsumption to feminization), but feminine men are in fact prolific they're just in like, shoujosei, yaoi, danmei, etc.
Yeah, American culture is a death cult down to the food we eat being filled with excessive amounts of sugar. I hate it here.
Anyway, buy trans books.
AI student writing is such a pain to deal with. Half my class writes in the same AI voice, then denies it when I call them out on it. I don't do this job to be the AI police, and I know it's a symptom of the degradation of education in general rather than the cause, but it's still so frustrating.
If it wasn't a copypasta it's about to become one.
Google docs right now. It's unfortunately very convenient.
Kamala Harris saying "the system is broken" as if she isn't a fucking symbol of the broken system. It's like if cookie monster claimed too many people are stealing cookies.
I haven't done a new update yet but we're probably going to need more help with this. Here's hoping I can function better in the coming weeks because we are running out of money and I'm not working fast enough to make up for it.

You can tell being an influencer isn't a real job because they all have the free time to be absolute pieces of shit and get away with it.
