Student: Does sleeping count?

Doctor: Of course! Do you know how to lucid dream? Coolest shit ever.

I just remembered that up until 5th grade, all of the sports teams I was in weren't separated by gender. I played basketball and baseball with boys. And we did just fine.

It wasn't until 6th grade when they segregated it by gender. It didn't make sense to me. I was now in softball because of baseball, because "softball is for girls" and "baseball is for boys" (which confused me bc my dad was on an adult softball team).

Now, my brother's all-male team didn't win a single game. My all-girls team won every single one.

They presented the boys' team with this HUGE trophy, and if you wanted replicas of it, they were $30 each.

My team was presented with a very small trophy. Extras were $5.

That's when I decided gender-segregated sports were bullshit.

#my mom went off on my brother's coach for that #said that it wasn't fair that my brother's team got to celebrate more than us despite actually winning #(it was through the same sports program) #she said she wasn't gonna pay $30 for a trophy whenever he was a horrible coach #bc the boys he had when they were on my team with my coach did just fine #their coach was this horrible egotistical guy who would scream at tbem for not doing good enough #when he didnt even KNOW HOW TO PLAY and was just there bc his kid was praying #my coach was this cool ass dad that was very calm and gentle with us #the coach was like ''oh so you don't think your son deserves to celebrate?'' #my mom was like ''he should but he needs to learn that he can't be rewarded for losing while #my daughter is barely rewarded for winning and i don't want to teach him that gender inequality is okay'' #(my mom is cool af sometimes) #we both quit playing after that

MiqoMarch Day 08 - Fav. (Side) Job

When she's not running around as Ninja or Summoner , Arsay's next choice is the lance. Being bestowed a source of draconic power by Midgardsormr moments before his slumber, and knowing how to channel the powers of Bahamut with dreadwyrm trance, Arsay's power as a Dragoon rivals that of even the former Azure Dragoon. With that said, she'd much rather use her polearm to hunt monsters.

my research partner and i are huddled in a blanket in paddington waiting for a too-late train i already miss you and you and you

#he keeps falling asleep almost on my shoulder and waking up and readjusting but i want to tell him its ok weve seen a lot #of each other ive seen your brainwaves you called me crying a few nights ago. research partner right now is a potentiality #friend is a certainty. i met a banker passionate about finance. he said his advice made the lives of others better and he likes the numbers #more than he likes anything else. on a high rise near canary wharf the view was wonderful and the people even moreso #he said i loved her but i spent 33 grand on her and i cant do this anymore. his voice cracked talking about her. he did love her. #and she talked softly she grabbed my hand she bought me a pack of Marlborough gold she told me to snap #the russian menthol cigarettes of the tortured polish man near us with my teeth i kept staring at her teeth #bright white and sharp. i couldnt find her heartbeat but i did find warmth and i did find her lips and i did feel #how she felt pressed against a wall. a pretty boy held my hand and i gave him my number. i couldnt stop smiling about her no matter #how many runways youve walked on how many collections youve designed how many students youve taught. senior lecturer teaches me how to do #very unethical things ethically over a double shot of vodka made by the half-persian with broken farsi. she talks softly #and she says her eyes are hazel but they appear a shade of red. pure gold on her hands and leather on her back and her fingers on my lips #(she talks softly sees through me she says something i cant hear but i wont forget the way she flies) she talked to my research partner #about the possibility of moving to sunny dubai with the rest of her family and my heart felt pierced. on her arm i traces a tattoo of a #knife passing through a rose. she told me she thought there was romance in severing so i kissed her some more. #he sat me down and asked me what i loved and i told him and he said no romance no person no tragedy will take that from you. #the room was filled with a collection of people in love with something that wasnt a person and i kept looking at her. #red eyes bitten jawline beautiful hands. it is 3 degrees Celsius my head is on his shoulder i miss my friends #we walked out the lecture hall with arms linked a photo of two years ago and we both said #jesus christ. i miss you all. and i miss logic metatheory lectures. im glad i get to stare at the depth of your eyes #i wish i had met you years ago. #crushposting

Lots of good vibes for Pip please. Her tummy is still getting bigger. She does not seem uncomfortable, and is in fact currently begging me for breakfast, but I don't like to see this increase. I'm suspicious this is actually a result of her very low protein diet, as she's having no other symptoms of liver distress. We all need some protein to build albumin, and albumin is what keeps your fluid inside your blood vessels. Low albumin means leaky vessels means ascites. There are some other liver formulations out there with slightly higher protein, so we might climb the scale. The main goal of low protein is to avoid neurological symptoms, and we haven't had any of those, so it should be safe to try. Nutrition consult tomorrow and I hope they're ready for the freight train.

Worst case, I may bip my little self on over to their ER and get some diuretics for her. The timing is very poor since we are traveling for Boofest, but at least we are going to be in an area with a lot of specialty services.

Most of all, she seems in good spirits and is not having any trouble breathing. Let's hope this is temporary and won't require long term medication to manage. I want to preserve her kidneys as much as we can.

#problems pip with 10000 problems #it just seems so bizarre that she would progress so rapidly to Symptoms after doing so well with the change #so i think we just overcorrected #i had a bit of a breakdown last night #im so tired and she doesnt deserve this and it just isnt fucking fair #here's to hoping we can get it under control #i want to see my girl as a veteran i want her to get so grey only her ears are black i want her to teach the next puppies how to behave #mostly i am solution focused but sometimes i am hamstrung by the horrors #we had such a good weekend but im just struck by how many more we will have #i want everything everything #i can feel my hope expand and contract and my dreams for us expanding and contracting #im so tired

there's a very specific kind of vibe that comes with living with your friends in final year that it just does not have in first year or even second year. like as a fresher it's usually the first time any of you have lived away from home let alone with SO MANY people your age and it's terrifying and exciting and randomised to boot so it's generally carnage for a whole year in the best and worst ways, and then second year you pick who you're living with and it feels like for the first time you're doing this adult thing PROPERLY. you have a place of your own now. these are the people you've chosen to live with. studying gets serious etc. but it's still fresh. it's still new. you still don't know how to navigate it. but final year? final year is when you actually get it right. you know how to manage your time better. you know what works for you and what doesn't. studying is the main focus and you've been out in the world for three years now and it's not loud and boisterous like it was in first year and you're not exciteable and awkward like you were in second year. you're comfortable. every single one of my flatmates has their own friend group and we mainly keep to our own social circles, but we'll still meet each other back at the house after a night out and sit in the kitchen or my room to do the debrief. sometimes i'll go days not seeing either of them despite sharing a house but every now and then someone will softly call up the stairs that 'the heating's on!' or one of us will sneeze and the other two will yell 'bless you!' through the walls. the lack of interaction isn't interpreted as dislike in ways it would have been even last year, because we're all just old enough to be past that now and settled enough in our friendship not to worry about it. idk. uni is very loud and unsettling a lot of the time so it's been really sweet to see how almost boringly comfortable final year is.

#like my day today was literally drag myself out of bed at 10am to meet my econ friends bc we're in a group together #and i spent two hours with them writing a fucking TRADE REPORT before coming home #and the rest of the day was kinda lost. i showered. i put a wash on. i had a nap. i mainly stayed in my room #which sometimes is the End Of All Things but today was quite nice #and i can hear in their rooms how my flatmates are doing the exact same thing. pottering about and getting on with uni #and we've barely spoken all day but earlier my one flatmate ran into my room all excited to show me her nails #bc she's been teaching herself to do gels and it took her 2 hours but im still one of the first people she wanted to show #and just now we all went to use the bathroom at the same time and it led to one of our Stair Sessions #where we all inexplicably just gather on the stairs and chat for no reason with a cup of tea #idk it's just nice. it's such basic shit but i can't belive in first year i used to spend EVERY DAY with these girls #and we were one single friendship group and that was all we had #and then in second year one girl branched off bc she lived in a studio and got into her societies #but me and the other girl lived together again and it was the same thing of she was a friend before she was someone i lived with #and weirdly that can actually be detrimental to a dynamic. but this year we're all just very solidified and confident in ourselves #and where we stand and yes we all have our own friendship groups outside of the house now #but there's still that love and simple comfortableness around each other that you only get with time and a hell of a lot of proximity #and a sense of being settled that maybe is just what happens as you get older #idk it's just really nice. if i had this exact same day in first year (doing economics and barely leaving my room) #it would've been a really bad depressive day for me so the fact i can find such contentment from it now is really heartening #i love my little life here im very proud of what ive been able to achieve :) #hella goes to uni #feeling nostalgic because SOME BITCH decided to ribs post

[ocpdzim]

what you’ve got to understand about working conditions in education (and also other care-oriented careers) is that if they’re shit, two things are true at once:

that does not ever excuse being cruel to a kid, no matter what

until those conditions are fixed, education will continue to suck absolute shit

this is because when working conditions for teachers are really bad, many of the good teachers who recognize when they are reaching a point where they can no longer be the sort of teacher the kids deserve due to burnout WILL quit. they will do the responsible thing and go away for their own sake and the sake of the kids. and you end up stuck w a combination of new teachers who are trying their best but won’t last long, burnt out teachers who are trying their best but have nothing left to give and therefore aren’t very effective at actually teaching, and cockroach shitheads who take out their misery on the kids.

we have all had terrible experiences with bad teachers, many of them flat out traumatic, but for fuck’s sake please try to look at the systemic underpinnings of the problem for one minute. spitefully declaring that teachers don’t deserve good working conditions or even the right to complain about bad working conditions because ms. whoever in 5th grade was a bitch is only going to create more of her. if you want good teachers then we need an education system they can survive in

#i get so irritated w the post where like. #95% of it is a good post and then at the end op is like WAAAHHH teachers are complaining about burnout on my post about a bad teacher #like yeah no shit. if the field of education wasnt so hostile to everyone who works in it maybe they could have found a better teacher to #replace that motherfucker with. and then she would not be there to bother the kids any more. #as someone who Has had traumatic experiences w bad teachers. #its scary enough walking into a field i know is pretty much built to chew new teachers up and spit us out #hoping to be able to survive it long enough to do some good and be the kind of teacher i needed as a kid #without people acting as though it is some sort of crime for teachers to want. like. basic human dignity at work and enough money to survive #even people who are nominally pro-workers rights #you guys have no fucking idea how bad the situation is in schools right now #the reason bad teachers didnt get fired perhaps USED to be tenure #but nowadays its the fact that its rare for a school to be fully staffed *at all* bc so many teachers quit or died #so they'll hire and keep absolutely fucking anyone simply because the alternative is No Teacher. and an empty classroom #full of kids who wont learn anything except that the system doesnt even care about them enough to put a teacher in the room. #i have gotten job offers ON SIGHT from principals who know nothing about me and im literally not even legally qualified to teach yet #like before even telling them my name lmao #and im sure everyone else in town who expresses any interest in teaching whatsoever gets the same.

My current job I work on average 5.5 hours a day and you know what? I think that's the perfect amount of time to work. I have plenty of time for my hobbies while also staying on top of the housework and I'd probably have time for a social life if I wanted one (I don't lmao I'm happy just chilling on tumblr), but having a job also gives me structure and a feeling of contributing to society. I think everyone should have a work week that looks like mine. 9-5 5 days a week/grind culture is bullshit and it's tragic that it's become the accepted standard pretty much worldwide.

#actually a lot of my colleagues complain they're bored #one of them even asked me for info about teaching online bc she wanted to work *more* #the notion that nobody wants to work is nonsense #people want to work they just don't want to pour all their time and energy into just scraping by #feeling like they have to earn their place in the world #and honestly i think we could have a society like that #where everyone works half days #morning people do the morning shift and night people do the afternoon/evening shift #you know how people talk about not cleaning up after themselves bc it's 'creating jobs'? #what if we all cleaned up after ourselves and didn't need those people to clean up after us and they could assist teachers instead? #society has so much potential and capitalism squanders it honestly #not languages #just rambling

i would really really love it if cis people would like. think before they speak Once in their fucking lives

#mom said to my aunt that she sometimes wishes she had a son to do physical work for her/my dad #and it’s like. oh that’s interesting! because when i told you i wanted to transition you acted like it was the end of the goddamn world #or did you forget we had that conversation? #and by ‘forget’ i mean ‘try not to bring up or acknowledge because i don’t want it to be true and im hoping it’ll go away’ #and regardless i would know how to do the sort of shit you want done if my father ever fucking bothered to teach me how to do it #same for my sisters #but we don’t know how because he never fucking bothered nor cared to teach us because we were women! #stop with the fucking gender essentialism shit this is EXHAUSTING

brah i have like at LEAST 3 genders in my libarary and once i get more confident with displaying and using them all. this town is toast

#thinking about how i dont want to be trapped in Woman or Man or Nonbinary but in fact be all of those fucking things at once in any amount #however i do think that getting my parents to use he/she/they for me would be like trying to teach a dog to use a human toilet #i'm going to start experimenting with He as well as giving out/reinstating She pronouns for people i trust #gender #bigender #multigender #nonbinary

things to do this year: schedule an appt with my gp about a hysterectomy because this infernal organ is really getting on my last nerve.

#uterus be damned #it started yesterday but ugh it's never fun #i am turning 31 this year and have 0 intent on birthing children so it's literally doing nothing for me #not to mention family history of fibroids that caused an emergency surgery for my mom when she was in her 40s #and how my own birth went sideways for mom and how my sister had kind of a rough go with my nephew's #yeah nah i don't need this thing and maybe some teaching hospital could use it to help people who do want to have a baby or something #oh and also my mom had anemia throughout her early 40s and that went away after her hysterectomy. it was literally her periods that did it. #yeah i don't want that happening to me thanks.

the world of stoneybridge and the first packs final two years at school was isolated (not as isolated as the wild wolf pack but you know)

the final year we learn about Segolia something that only gets hinted at kinda (people that can help) in season 1 and 2 but not explored just things said in passing people in positions that can help

Segolia as a whole could have been done better considering the power they hold and the things that they do. like it is basically a wolfblood government but never treated as such and it should have been that way especially with the route they went with the secret getting revealed

but we're in a city this time in Segolia and then its back to school kinda with majority of the pack being in their final year of school (+Emilia)

and you know 4 and 5 is rushed just in general

#thoughts for later #cbbc wolfblood #shannon kelly #tom okanawe #maddy smith #rhydian morris #jana vilkas #matei covaci #emilia covaci #i have mixed feelings about human to wolfblood thing but that is 100% thought for later with three back to back rewatches #possibly looking at interviews but probably not #the show went out nicely but underwhelmingly #...why didn't the final episode have Jana teaching the little girl and her pack Eolas? #Matei was hurt that she never taught him #i can see Selina wanting to learn how to do it so where was she? #cbbc was never going to give us a season 6 considering how the marketing for season 5 went and cutting down the episodes again from 12 to 1 #10 #ellie rambles in the tags #don't clown on my post #random thoughts

while i dont think yuukei yesterday in mca is TERRIBLY bad they missed the mark so much at making takane be all smiling while running to go tell haruka her feelings. u fool. she wasn't happy. she was fucking terrified

#like mca yuukei yesterday is...cute. #but it lacks a lot of the intimacy haruka and takane have in other media #haruka patting takanes back while reassuring her he will never hate her... #in mca thats just haruka telling takane omg ur awesome teach me to play sometime ok :3 #takane pretending to be asleep just to see if haruka will talk to her and accidentally shuts him out while he is having an attack. #and desperately clinging to him when she realises and doesnt know what to dl #that becomes... takane walks OUT on him??? and haruka has his attack in the middle of a conversation #AS SOON as she looked away for a second??? like its a bit silly #mca...gave us i want to see u takane. i will always like that even if that bit is also in the novels #in its weird novel way #but yeah lol takane wasnt happy she was in love with haruka. why do u think she never told him #she was confused abt it and completely terrified #what i do like in mca is how when takane says i love u shes in her daze and theres this #dreadful music and everything is destroyed bc she failed at getting there in time so the world ended. #its such a good shot #erm. #heya are u reading my tags. hi #kagevinnie #kagenalysis

I wanna make an essay about my amane thoughts however i think most of my thoughts were already said better by other people so just have my fave screenshot of amane

#milgram #this is before she treats the cat in the magic mv i believe #look at her eyes #they have 2 sparkles instead of one #this is the only moment her eyes look like this iirc #she's kind enough to break her cult's rules (the rules she's grown up with) to help. #and she was punished #also story perspective wise amane is such a good character #she was abused and gaslit by a cult and it influenced her to kill #possibly ordered by the cult elders #and iirc the original milgram project was following authority and orders but i could be wrong #and she is just so good at making the audience feel conflicted and helpless #all of the milgram characters ask us a question; criticize the way we judge people #amane criticizes how we view children #many people voted amane because they wanted to teach her a lesson #a lot of people pity her situation (which i do as well) but sometimes it just ends up as viewing her solely as an abused child #and it's great #i view the t1 guilty metavoting as people thinking teaching amane a lesson would help her change #but kids have their own thoughts and beliefs #punishing them for it isnt going to stop them #it honestly makes them lean more into it #idk what point im trying to make it's 10pm #but yeah. amane really exposes how people think of children #victor rambles

Just saw a lady on my fyp talking about “red flags she saw at a daycare center” and all of the comments are early education teachers roasting her 💀

#‘I want the daycare I go to have a requirement of taking the kids to the park’ k ma’am majority of these daycares are in cities- #like we have fenced in playgrounds/outdoor spaces for a reason #even one comment was like ‘I would not want my daycare bringing kids to a park’ #and then she got upset that they didn’t like encourage math or learning to read #and like while we do let the kiddos look at books and of course they ask questions about words or what’s going on in the book #and we always read to them. it’s not developmentally appropriate for us to teach them to read. like even our preK teachers do SOME but- #nothing like the school system because it’s not appropriate #like her BABY isn’t even a toddler wtf are you on about #and I actually do math with my students (who are toddlers/early preschoolers) #no were not doing equations or learning how to add numbers together #however we are constantly counting. we are constantly sorting. we are constantly making patterns. #like I’m sorry you want your infant to do equations that’s not what we do in a daycare #find a nanny
