Freddie Mercury didn't go into the studio and nail the vocals for "The Show Must Go On" in one take while dying of AIDS for you to despair and give up now. Take the time you need, but then get up and get back out there. The show must go on.

“There is another road, and that's to environmental devastation and the rise of some horrible racist right-wing power that is already feeling comfortable enough to walk down the streets regularly. You don't negotiate with that. You punch it in the mouth." – Tom Morello

"The kids and especially the grandkids have been out in the streets letting our political leaders know the future is already here, and it would be good if they embraced it rather than resist the evolving nature of what it means to be an American.” - Arlo Guthrie

My brain keeps reading the words as “Executive Disorders.”

Genuine Question: how am I supposed to focus on work when the world is falling apart?

⚠️ BREAKING: U.S. 🇺🇸 reports 4.676 million new COVID-19 cases in a single week, with 668,000 daily infections. Currently, 1 in every 72 Americans is infected with COVID-19. Transmission rates are now higher than at any point during 59.3% of the pandemic.

My favorite part of #CaptainAmericaBraveNewWorld was when the White House got partially destroyed. 👍🏻 I was very upset about the cherry trees, though. 😔

Listen, I’m not taking medical advice from Captain Brainworm and the Space-X Cadets. They can fuck all the way off with their nonsense.

Is 3:52am too early to start drinking? Asking for a friend.

I can’t help but wonder What this world could be If we all held each other With a bit more empathy; What if there’s a world where We don’t have to live this way? #EpicTheMusical

In case you needed a sign (or three) today. These are available on RedBubble under ChaoticWhims, a tiny little side project of mine. #StayAlive

If I had a nickel for each time this demented moron was in charge when there’s a pandemic, I would have two nickels — which isn’t a lot, but it’s infuriating that it has happened twice.

Apparently #MothMonday is a thing???!!! 👀 Here, have some moths! The first one is a Definite Tussock Moth (according to Seek app), but I don’t know about the others. (I just really like moths.)

Education Trauma is one of my adult students being afraid of failing an exam simply for forgetting one of her tools in another state. 😐

More like, “which one of these am I not?” 👀

Did we do it? Did we save the Superb Owls?

Used Google Translate on the paragraph, got a poem: “Those fleeting days that filled the air with intense heat, when life seemed like a bold act of audacity and inspiration flowed like an uncontainable stream of creativity.” Obrigado! 🙏💜

We live in a weary world that is often exhausting, defeating and terrifying. It needs to be re-enchanted again, a pilgrimage back to childhood wonders. Where we see the world as not something to be conquered but something to be delighted in.

Current events in the United States summarized: (/sarcasm)

I teach people about the importance of protecting private health information and other data. We panic if a client folder gets left unattended for two seconds. Meanwhile there’s this ass-clown from South Africa who has no business or authority getting into our private data. #makeitmakesense

@covid19disease.bsky.social : “Here are all the terrible things heading your way that your government won’t tell you about!” Me: *feeling the existential dread spiral beginning again* … “That’s enough social media for today…” 🫠

🎶 Where is he? Where is the man Who can string this Bow-oh-ohh-oh? 🎵

Whoever can string The old king’s bow And shoot through 12 axes cleanly — would form a better system of government than whatever tf the USA has right now. #EpicTheMusical

Additional scripts for cis het white men who want to be better allies: “What a weird thing to say” “Do you hear yourself right now?” “You shouldn’t say shit like that to people” “I won’t let you talk to them that way” “That’s a disgusting opinion to have” “Shut the fuck up, dude”

When I had to work Wednesday morning and night, it disrupted my doomscrolling enough to snap me out of the loop (finally). If I stay too long here or on FB, the Bad Feelings come back, which means existential paralysis. Sooo… I kinda can’t do that, right now.

I remain very frustrated that the posts that do well require a visual medium component but also I am Not Good at alt text writing. I also just don’t feel comfortable posting on Facebook anymore except for the most important things, so I’m just kind of wallowing in my lack of outlets.

I always try to encourage my adult students in this area — in massage therapy and anatomy/physiology, there are a lot of complex words and it seems like everyone says them a little differently. I say, “We don’t take points off for spelling or mispronunciation, it’s okay.”
