Subbing special ed at the middle school slaps. Every class I've had so far is 2-4 students and when we finish the assignment we play Uno

#cont #the more i sub the more i am confirmed in my opinion that i want to be a middle grade teacher #it might be for all i know significantly influenced by how much my local high school is in shambles #the kids have no fucking discipline and are so disrespectful. they don't even try #theyre incredibly selfish in the way teenagers kinda generally are bent to #but the particular system of that school is hopeless. it doesn't make them think of others #they just wanna come to school. do the bare minimum. leave #and i get it. it's a bad school #it's a bad combination of formative years and a failing system #the middle school has a number of issues for certain too but the kids are so much more malleable #they respect authority more. i know that sounds so like conservative but it's not #it's like when i give them instructions or advice they actually consider it rather than taking the quickest way out of it #and they're at such a precious age. it's why some ppl hate this age level but i love it #they really can become anything still but they're getting more curious by the day #when you see occasional callousness or disrespect it's not so confirmed in them yet #and most of all they like to play uno and it's a lot of fun for me

they werent lying that knuckles series barely has knuckles in it

#i pirated that shit Btw just so we're clear. also gonna talk about it a little bit in the tags #nothing too spoilery but also might not wanna read if you want to go in knowing absolutely nothing? idk #anyway he WAS a main character still he was present for a decent amount of the first couple episodes #but the amount of screentime he gets just starts dropping after that . hes barely there at all in the second half ???#and it feels like theres a lot of scenes mostly focusing on wade and his problems and not near as many for knuckles and his whole deal #overall it feels more like a wade show with knuckles in it than a knuckles show with wade in it. which sucks #and human characters having plot relevance isnt the problem here i dont mind human characters at all i think they can be really fun #its the fact that the human characters are taking over the story and spotlight when the show is called knuckles #and all the marketing makes it look like knuckles is the main focus #and i also would have preferred if they just went with a differnet character to be knuckles' human friend #because i dont particulraly care about wade. and the knuckles (and sonic and tails) i know would not be friends with cops </3 #well at least the story wasnt knuckles training wade to be a better cop like a lot of people were expecting but thats like.the bare minimum #also aside from the issues relating to knuckles' screentime (or lack of screentime) i thought the ending was unsatisfying #regardless of all that though there WERE some parts i enjoyed or found kind of funny or whatever. because knuckles so cutesy as always #knuckles being a cute little guy is the most important part of the show actually #and i liked the parts with sonic tails and maddie even if they were only there for like 5 minutes #(i really wish those three had gotten more screentime. i feel like they could have easily worked in at least one more scene with them)#and its a minor thing but the opening sequence is cute. was honestly expecting just a title card or something #overall the show is just . kind of okay i guess. not the worst thing ive ever seen but still disappointing ? idk how to explain..#my expectations also werent very high in the first place #so maybe im being a bit more generous than i would have been otherwise. idk #and i definitely would not recommend this to anyone who already dislikes the sonic movies . youll probably hate this more #like people who thought the human characters got too much screentime in the second movie would lose their minds if they saw this

i know this isnt usually what ppl send u but i look up to u and i love the way u see transness, im sure u can help. basically i got top surgery 4 months ago and im extremely unhappy with my results. not the surgeons fault, he warned me getting keyhole might require revisions, and im getting them in november, but i cant help feeling like ive failed my transition. i still have so much chest dysphoria. how to cope until november? it's unbearable, its all i think about; that i still have, u know...

Continued ask:

First of all, I feel the need to emphasize that this isn't your fault. You haven't failed at anything. It is okay not to be satisfied with your results right now, especially with a surgery that needs revisions. You are entirely allowed to seek those revisions, and while it's nice that other people think the results look fine, that doesn't outweigh that your opinion about your chest and how it looks is most important. You are not selfish or unreasonable to acknowledge this. I just really, really feel the need to say this because I worry that so many trans people are afraid to admit when they aren't totally satisfied with surgery because it takes a lot of effort and they want to show the "appropriately amount of happiness." This idea, however, isn't right and isn't fair. You are allowed to feel however you feel about your results; other people's opinions aren't a factor in that.

I will also state that I haven't had surgery yet, but I definitely would encourage you to build trust in yourself to express this. It's great that you have admitted how you think about the results. That's a big deal! I think, though, that it can be important to build trust in yourself to be able to be happy and satisfied. There may come a point where, after revisions, you are happy, and that's something I also noticed in your ask. I just think it can be helpful to internalize that hopefulness because it empowers you to know that this isn't permanent.

I also hope that you have a support network that is affirming and will listen. It's nice to be told that others think your chest is fine, and I'm sure they are completely genuine and mean it, but I think it's missing the point. It isn't about having a "cis chest" or a "good-looking chest," it's about having a chest that makes you happy. If you're able, I'd definitely make that clear if you haven't (no judgments if you haven't)

This is a tumultuous time, I'm sure. You deserve to be able to express the full range of your emotions however works best for you. But not for one second do I wish you feel that you have failed. There is nothing you failed at. Transition will always be a unique experience, for the better and worse. I just wish you peace along your journey. You are the most important part of your transition. Your body, your voice, your spirit all matter so immensely, no matter where you are in this part of transition. If there is nothing tangible I can do to help you with this, then I simply want to remind you of just how utterly you matter. I'm glad you were able to open up about this. It's so incredibly vulnerable and scary to admit, even though there is nothing bad about what you feel.

#ask #anon #trans #transgender #lgbt #lgbtq #ftm #mtf #nonbinary #described images #image description in alt #i'm genuinely sorry if this isn't helpful - it can be such a tough position to be in #but i think it might be helpful to be able to reclaim your ability to seek out surgery and revision and whatnot #and what i mean by that is being able to know that you can seek out revision without 'failing transness'#you have failed at nothing because there was nothing *to* fail #and i get why you feel that way... i've felt it too about my own transition. but i think...#...perhaps it comes from this idea that because trans people often have to fight tooth and nail...#...that we should be happy with whatever scraps we get...#...but that's not right or fair! you're a PERSON you deserve to LIVE. you deserve more than the bare minimum...#...you deserve peace and comfort and happiness and everything beautiful in this world because *you live in it*!#and i genuinely from the bottom of my heart hope that all that is coming your way. i hope that revisions bring you comfort and i hope...#...that the time between now and then is calm and peaceful #and i hope you are able to voice exactly what revisions you need to your team and i hope they *hear* you #because that's what you deserve: to be heard. to be seen and to be seen properly #anon i really admire your courage and your perseverance (genuine)

i'm gonna be honest 2023 treated me like dirt but that's because i treated it like dirt so , it was a you're going down with me hand in unlovable hand situation 👍

#i was like i am NOTTT starting the year crying and then i started the year crying and then i got tipsy off chocolate liqueur and #Irish cream and played animal crossing.#i guess i can say i didn't kill myself for another year which might sound like the bare minimum but i have to appreciate it #because there was nothing else. my friends were wonderful as usual i'm lucky to have them #but on a personal level i failed in every other way at living so in 2024 i hope i can do more than the bare minimum

I got my new car today!!! I haven’t actually driven it yet. Because new things are scary for me and it takes me a little while to get used to something like driving a new car, I wanted to drive it around my parents’ a little before going in a busy road. Rob said it has “responsive break” and i wanna get that “feel” down before I’m in heavy traffic. I like it though and am very grateful and excited!!

Being at my parents’ hasn’t been too triggering this time around. Usually there are some kind of comments about my body or what I’m eating, but we have such a short turn around this year that thankfully it hasn’t been too bad…

Did have to listen to my mom talk about this guy who has multiple myeloma (my mom has a precursor to MM) and apparently is in “full remission” using an antiviral but it came back because he got the covid vaccine…. Tried to explain why that’s probably not true actually but you know… I think she just desperately wants there to be simple/easier answers to the cancer she might develop, which I get, but I also feel like this is how misinformation takes roots.

(We don’t have a perfect system here in the US by far, but we aren’t lagging behind in the cancer treatment realm…. If antivirals worked to cure MM, there would be research on it… and people would do it… contrary to popular belief, Big Pharma isn’t pushing ineffective expensive drugs to steal your money and keep you sick…drugs are ridiculously expensive, but it’s not malicious… insurance companies are far more malicious for refusing coverage than the pharma companies imo)

Also listening to some people talk about pot shop workers (specifically managerial roles) not deserving to be paid a certain amount, all the gender critical bs, like yall, I don’t like government regulations in general and I have my views on how we attempt legislating morality and why it doesn’t work, but like…… when you use that argument to justify why people who “don’t have any education and just know drugs” (not a real quote just a paraphase) don’t deserve to be paid a certain amount, AND you don’t use it to say that like, gov shouldn’t restrict access to health care like abortions and gender affirming care… that’s not “government shouldn’t legislate morality,” that’s “government should legislate the morality I agree with” which is… the same thing you’re complaining about the “other side” doing.

Especially the gender stuff. It takes very little actual energy to use somebody’s preferred, correct pronouns. Affirming care literally saves lives. When you spend a lot of energy and time lobbying against these things, it really just tells me how uncomfortable you are with the idea that somebody could have a different life experience than you. The only person who should be spending that much time and energy caring about those things… should be the person themselves. Partners or family ofc should care too, but in a “how do we support this person so they can live a fulfilling life” way, not in a “i can’t handle anybody having a different lived experience than me” kind of way.

And also if you’re gonna complain about federal spending and budgets, can you at least acknowledge the ridiculous defense budget? Even if your viewpoint is “I don’t know how we can realistically and safely scale that back,” just like… recognize how little the government actually spends on programs like VA health care in relation to the massive defense budget. We rank third in the world for per capita military spending… I’m not saying you need answers on how to solve anything, but if you’re gonna criticize the drops in the bucket, acknowledging that they are in fact drops in the bucket comparatively would be nice.

#political bs sorry #I’m grateful for my parents in so many ways #but it would be great if they could acknowledge their own biases #and also look at the actual data #like no you don’t care about the trans persons health #because if you did you’d realize that gender affirming care and BEING A KIND HUMAN is the most life sustaining thing you can do #lord forbid they ever find out I like neutral pronouns and hate the concept of gender all together #also like yeah a pot shop manager might not have advanced degrees #but that doesn’t mean they don’t deserve the same pay as managers in other retail fields???#so much work these days actually doesn’t require higher Ed #and not pursuing higher Ed doesn’t mean you’re incapable or contributing less to society #it’s giving ‘burger flippers dont deserve more than minimum wage because I don’t actually see them as valuable people’#call me radical but I’d like to see people who work full time regardless of industry be able to afford to live #I’m not saying push legislature through to ensure everybody is making enough to buy a 4 bed house in their own #just like maybe don’t talk about pot shop workers with disgust and vitriol #like the TONE man it’s the TONE

men coming in to my place of work and saying i'm lucky to work with all these beautiful women: weird but mostly harmless

specific guy who said that and then insinuated i should cheat on my girlfriend with my coworkers: should be torn apart by wild beasts

#like i guess i'm flattered you think i could pull them but come on #they're human people and we're making just above Metropolitan Minimum Wage here leave us alone #personal #annoyed enough about this i might start f*gging it up at work more than i already do #reid works #don't get me wrong i'm glad i pass enough to not get harassed in the men's room but DO NOT include me in your weird cishet misogyny #bro you came to the bank right before closing next time if you speak about women like that i'm not giving you any money #this happened like six hours ago but i can't believe it keeps happening

Next in my series of applying my MBA to fandom: Tommy Shelby's Business Case for the Monaghan Boy Race Fixing Scam

Revelation: exactly how fucking high is this man's financial risk tolerance!!?!? Without limitation! and what the fuck is this asset structure? the liquidity?! the ratios are whack, Mr Greene!

Recommendation: do not buy shares in Shelby Company Ltd

#unless you marry into the family #i should do Mr Greene bystander fic i only alluded to his legal necessity in one fic due to the 1929 legislative change RE Corporations Act #Sole Independent Director on Shelby Co Ltd Board representative of all shareholders #at some point he just sits down with Tommy and says like #'of course it's all money laundering do you think I'm stupid? I spend my life becoming Independent Director on the boards of your type-#-of 'family' company; when you hit financial strife which is invariably inevitable I will of course buy your business out from under you'#and tommy contemplates (his gun) the true nature of the crimes of those born to wealth yet again #interestingly SK put EXACTLY the minimum financial/turnover information scattered across S1 episodes to actually populate a business case-#-for the MB scam which leads me to believe he might have actually (or had someone) write the BC to ensure it stacked up #with theeee most narrowest of margins #Can i just say Tommy using actual corporate terms does more for me than any of his sex scenes anywhere #'Good Corporate Hygiene' he says pallid and rage-furious in a room full of fucking Irish-American gangsters or whatever the fuck #the flutter in the gut when he said vaguely while traumatically disassociating 'land. I'm buying land'#the throes of schaudenfreude watching him try to administer a rigid meeting agenda (while his family tolerantly roll their eyes at him)
