brushing is a coercive act. the brush is coercion. his fur is not unkempt. it is textured by dialectic struggle. each tangle tells a story. he has no interest in your instrument of compliance. the temerity. you would dare to erase the very archives of his endurance.

I thought of another one. Have a folder somewhere (not on a work/school account/device) where you keep all your accolades, good performance reviews, thank you notes, projects you're proud of, etc. Save them for when you're interviewing for a new job or negotiating a raise

ok so there's no dress code requirement for what we're wearing underneath our gowns for commencement but in almost every picture i've seen people are wearing white dresses if they're graduating. my friend who graduated also confirmed this. cap/gown is royal blue

it's teacher appreciation week so appreciate the teachers in your life by making it a priority to vote for people who care about public education! also, listen to educators and their insights on what is actually happening in schools and put them in positions to make decisions regarding their jobs!

sixth graders argue over everything 😭 i could tell them the sky is blue and they'd find a way to argue back. "stop talking" becomes "I LITERALLY WASN'T TALKING!!!!" or "make sure you're playing Eb thumb 1 2 4th side key" "i am!" as they're literally not pressing the key down and playing E natural

i absolutely hate standardized testing. we have 3 weeks of 2 hour testing blocks in the morning which means the students come into our classes and are incredibly unhinged. 44 students in one room by myself and the students are unable to be calmed down. at least when we did standardized testing
