i made this poll a while ago and watermelon won, which to say the least had many members the mangoenthusiast.com up in arms about it, so settle this for once and all

no third option, propaganda is welcome. reblog after voting <3

#i was a straight a student but i don't think my parents would have been bothered too much if my grades had slipped #i got an a- in grad school in a catullus class and was annoyed by that XD but i got my Master of Latin degree nonetheless #...other than that i was a straight a student in college and grad school too #polls

I must sleep. Sleep is the mind-healer. Sleep is the big-life that brings total ability to fucking do anything. I will face my bed. I will permit the blankie to pass over me and snores to pass through me. And when sleep has gone past I will turn the outer eye to greet the new morning. When the sleep has gone there will be everything. Energy and will to live will remain.

As someone who works 8/9 hours from monday to friday, I'm genuinely curious about how y'all handle the (ever increasing) long episodes and how/when you choose to watch them.

#i used to watch live till the break* then go to bed so i could get up and teach on friday then finish the second half after school friday #then i got older so i would wait until friday after school to watch it all #now i am even older. i am six months behind and slowly catching up. #'some other way' = i plan to binge catch up in in the summer? #middle-aged teacher needs her sanity sleep #polls #*n.b. till the break in my time zone was around midnight even with the shorter episodes...that is why i stopped watching any of it live...

If I ask nicely will people reblog this and tell me what their most common breakfast is? Not your favorite necessarily, just what you have for breakfast most frequently? 🙏🏽

#it varies cyclically #currently in a pastry phase #sometimes i get scones or donuts from the grocery store #i also have frozen ready to bake croissants that i'll bake on mornings when i'm not in a hurry #sometimes i have an oatmeal phase #it's been a while since my last waffle/pancake phase #occasionally i fry an egg #i used to have little honey turkey sausages with breakfast but they've been out of stock at my grocery store for months now #don't know if they're discontinued or just sell out crazy fast because they're too good

is growing up going to be as bad as i worry it will be?

Sometimes. But it has amazing bits too. (Imagine having been alive in historical times. You will have been.)

[rannadylin]

i feel like it's natural for humans to walk around barefoot. and we could if not for garbage and sharp stuff lying around. imagine that we took care of that and the ground was clean and safe, and answer the question below

#even without garbage and stuff there's rocks #also i like to wear the socks i knit :-D and i am not gonna tear them up by wearing them without shoes outside #polls #shoes are a pretty good technology actually

The way you change your immediate reactions to things is that you catch yourself having an uncharitable/bigoted/overly judgmental thought and you catch it and replace it and then you do that a hundred times a day for your whole life and eventually one day like five years later you realize that you think differently now and you’ll always be working on something but that’s how life goes and that’s fine.

#you do indeed get there! #i've been teaching for 20some years and have often had to stop and interrogate my initial reaction to something a student does #i'm a much more patient teacher now than i was when i started. and better able to meet the kids where they are. #it takes work and it's worth it

No see results, we die like artisans

#where's the 'download everything about this huge novel series in my brain on to paper exactly in the perfect way that i intend' option #<- i also will sign on to the prev tags :-D #i almost went for glasswork because well. glass art is SO COOL. #but i would use drawing art more so i clicked that #i can draw decently well if i spend a lot of time getting it right but it's been a while since i invested time in it #there is too much else to do these days alas #polls

The heavens declare the glory of God,

and the sky shows His handiwork.

Day to day they speak,

night to night they reveal knowledge.

There is no speech, no words,

where their voice goes unheard.

Their voice has gone out to all the earth

and their words to the end of the world.
