That principal retired AND the school was split into 7-8 moving to be junior high at the high school, and 5-6 staying to be the new upper elementary along with 3-4, when we graduated 8th grade. This art teacher started teaching 3-6 after our year. So they shook it up after that.
So many adults sucked. I don't know what the hell was going on with that middle school but it must have been toxic as hell.
Yeah, and this was after my mother asked for me to be allowed to drop. But my mom was a substitute teacher and didn't want to stop getting calls from them for sub days, for being difficult. Which was a shitty dynamic for me all through middle school.
She said the color was patriotic blue and I was like you're going to flunk someone ELSE on a project because I mistook a deep blue for a purple in the dim light of our office supply closet? Let him do it over. I tried to drop this class and the principal said no because it would be bad for morale.
The blue&purples are horrible and I got blamed for someone else doing an art project with the wrong colors in 8th grade because I helped a guy get construction paper during my office aide shift and it was not, my teacher said, actually a purple. (She was horrible)
He is ALSO too cheerful! Put him in a box!
Well, that's a good point. This is just reminding me of a certain cartoon where a certain famous orchestra was playing a battle of the bands against a high school band and the orchestra bus pulled in to them singing "99 bottles of Chardonnay on the wall" or something like that.
Because yeah.
I think we can arrange that, yeah!
I love how _specific_ this is. Why do music people gotta be so god damn CHEERFUL all the time?
It's from Tula, which had a huge samovar manufacturing industry, we think! Mom got it second hand and we have no idea how it got imported.
The Fourth Circuit can get straight in the bin! Walk into the sea! Begone!
Well that's both good and bad
A mostly white with orange spots kitten sniffs at a brass samovar which is on a brass tray on the floor. The kitten is adolescent but still smaller than the samovar, and she is mostly behind it with her ears and part of her head and one front leg visible.
A white with orange spots kitten sniffs at the rim of the brass samovar from closer to the front of it.
The samovar inspector is here to inspect my samovar. By the way, I have the family samovar now.
My first full listen to SKZ-REPLAY today got paused on account of the 16th song bodied me so hard I had to stop and cry about Oz cat, and so I'm listening to the latest NoSo album instead. IT'S REAL GOOD. They're real cool!

Real talk. Everybody who's backed so far is INCREDIBLE and as a contributor I am so grateful! You've unlocked extra stories, story crits, and more pay for authors and illustrators!
We just need to get to ONE MORE AUTHOR RAISE and the reason is: I spent the money already (on a magazine sub).
The "hey look, this sign is in hangeul!" pointing at the Oppa Cantine sign is cracking us up. (15th Arrond. Thank you @aegtx.bsky.social )
Also the Paramore song is an excellent choice.

It's good to have friends who will point out cool things (like what neighborhoods those bakeries/cafes are in) when your faves post sets of pics from Paris. Fairly sure some of you could identify more places from this set. Good vintage shopping is my guess. www.vxinstagram.com/p/DVsd9I_Edo6/
I was and can still be very mean to men because of it, and frankly I do it for the times this shit happened to me.
It's quotidian because our society lets that kind of casual intimidation slide. It shouldn't be that way and it's part of the patriarchal campaign of everyday terror.
I am so sorry that happened. It makes me want to do violence on your behalf which doesn't help, I know, but you deserved backup from those bartenders and from people around you.
Image of a black outline with red eyes and big wings, on multicolor striped background, and the text around it says Mothman ate my entire ass at a Denny's!
Indeed, it is well known. There is even commemorative merch.
I hear Mothman is a very giving lover, if you're into that sort of thing.
Holy shit, is The House of Dies Drear Rust Belt Gothik, I think it might be, it's set in southern Ohio, at a sort of Rust Belt and Appalachia mingling point.
Hell yes, this essay proposes a genre, Rust Belt Gothik, and talks about it in relationship to Afrofuturism in the context of Sinners, which is all about Chicago but never shows the city. reactormag.com/beyond-afrof...
If you think it might help to write a letter to her, whether with no intent to send or whether you address it to her at her care facility, might help. Whatever you do to comfort yourself, I hope it works.
This is so bad it sounds like the horrible noodles in Guardian
Oh no. I am so sorry. Walking away immediately is merited and very wise.
Mine are too, and they're collaborating with my cycle. Because my implant has run out of hormones. Ugh, scheduled maintenance.
I liked how spontaneous it was.
