✨June✨

The server I migrated to a few months ago hasn't been very stable as of late, so I'll be moving to yet another one. I'll keep this account, but I'll be importing all my follows. If you get a follow request from @demimom@autistics.life, that's me!

We took Florence on her first trip downtown today

I put up a few fall decorations today bc this summer shit is almost over as far as I'm concerned

Anyway I'm p pleased with the results

I have a student in one of my classes who has informed me they are transitioning. They've told me their new name, but they clearly don't have much of a support network, and I get the impression that I might be their only instructor who knows. I asked some other faculty for resources, and apparently our campus has an office that specifically helps trans students. Am I doing too much by passing this info along to them? I want to be helpful but not make it weird

my coffee, which was brewed hot, has gone cold, and I can't explain why I love iced coffee but do not love this

Do y'all know how hard it is to grade a student essay about some traumatic incident in their life

"wow that sucks, also you should fix this comma splice"

There have been like three separate giant rainclouds that have just.....skirted the neighborhood entirely and I, for one, feel cheated

Is .... Is Guy Fieri cute

What is happening

I mean, to be clear, I'm going, but also good lord I'm gonna need a nap

I'm supposed to go grab lunch with an old bestie on his way out of town today but also I am old and tired and it is hot out

I always have my students begin the semester by writing a personal reflection essay. It's meant to be a low stakes essay that helps them get used to the process of writing, submitting, and getting feedback. But whew, these kids are dealing with some heavy shit

I will never stop being angry about the bullshit way Hallmark ended the Mystery 101 series and I mean angry like the "she came down in a bubble, DOUG" guy
