writing a garbage essay feels like you’re the cow who gave birth to the two headed calf. in the morning, my professor will wrap him in newspaper and dissect him on a cold operating table. but here he is alive, under the pale glow of my computer screen. he is beautiful. there are twice as many logical fallacies as usual.
Today, one of my second graders was working on shape name recognition, and we got to this picture of a pyramid shape with a wide-ish base.

Edit 3: to the people who have basically suggested “have you tried not being mentally ill?” Thanks, totally cured 👍 have you tried not being an ableist jerk?
Edit 4: Do tell me how full of energy you are at 8pm when you get home from a 12 hour shift doing repetitive soul sucking tasks, really, do tell
