Good news: I'm having a baby in about a month!

Bad news: My department chair can't actually ban me from taking parental leave like he clearly would like to, so instead he has dedicated himself to being the world's biggest asshole about it at all times

being a TA is like babysitting except the kid is 65 and has a doctorate

It's. Weird. Being nonbinary/gender fluid/genderqueer in a queer-friendly space. I'm currently in a community college musical production, and there's a number of other queer and trans people. And I forget how most people react to multi-pronouns users

Like, I'll be talking to people and someone will refer to me with one set of pronouns, and then correct themselves to a different set. And I know it's just them trying to be courteous, but it gets tiring constantly saying "no it's fine, I use any pronouns." Like, it's not a bad thing, just. Tiring. And I actually am playing a male role in act 1, and while my cast mates have been really supportive and say I'm hilarious and do a great job, I can't help but wonder how many of them find the humor in this male asshole character being played by a "woman". I know I was cast because the director knows I use multiple pronouns, including "he", but not many of my cast mates know. And for every other role, I typically play femme.

And there's another thing. In day to day life, most people think of "I use they/she/he pronouns" as the same as "I use any pronouns". But it's not. So I say the former when someone asks, and I get a weird look because in their mind, I should've just said the latter. But there's a difference, and it matters to me.

Hi guys! How are you? Today I felt that the spring came in) There is more sun , more love, more freedom 💕

I fancy reading in buses , when sun is shining on my book 📚. Also I like evenings in my university, just look at this beautiful building!

In such weather I have a lot of motivation to work and study !

Hope you’re having a great day! *sending hugs*

This might sound super stupid but figuring new things out when people around you are ready to help and encourage you and then the results of success immediately show... truly is the meaning of community huh?

I have two students this semester who regularly come to my office for no reason, just to talk about their latest D&D session or whatever, and it's sweet and flattering but also this is my workplace, the reason your essays are not graded is because you never leave

Having a pet cat in the family with chronic illness, as a veterinary worker and student, is lots of nights studying CBC trends, and lots of phone calls between family and the hospital back home. It’s a tense mission, but an interesting one at that.

"Ahhh... Another day, another grind. A Mew grind."

"...I've been sitting at this table, transferring Tera Mews from my library's Scarlet game to Pokemon Home, for twelve hours. I just want one of every type. But it takes so long to even get to Mystery Gift. Did you know online play actually unlocks when you get to Cabo Poco, not Mesagoza? I didn't. I wasted so much time on this. I just want one Mew of every type, and a Mewtwo from the raid. Is that so much to ask?"

"Hehe, I'm about to go apeshit."
