Cornelia De Bey (May 26, 1865 – April 3, 1948)

Suffragette, homeopathic doctor, labor advocate, and Chicago public school administrator.

De Bey advocated for major school administration reform, exposing corruption, more democratic decision-making, and the unionization of teachers. She was involved in the Settlement House Movement — a reform movement which prioritized women's involvement in Progressive Era reforms — and the Women's Trade Union League, and was a member of the Woman's City Club of Chicago.

Thinking about Tim and Cassie as narrative reflections of each other -- about how they both started out as normal kids with no obligation to their mentors, good kids who just wanted to help, and how gradually, bit by bit, that choice they made as thirteen-year-olds lowkey ruined any chance they had for a normal life

With the best of your writing or drawing ability, how do you sum up Twisted Wonderland Book 1 till Book 6?

I'm so sorry to make you wait so long for such a stupid joke

I’m so behind in my philosophy class but have this Mike doodle to demonstrate my understanding of hard determinism

Kneejerk reaction is to say "Jawbone! Why haven't you reported that a student has expressed murderous thoughts towards another student! Surely, that is your job!"

But that is assuming that he hasn't. I choose to believe that he has, but the problem is that the principal was

1. A robot man that enforced perfect order by literally attacking students that fell outside the line, and then

2. Another student, who almost certainly doesn't have the training and resources required to deal with this problem.

There is, of course, a third option. The position of Vice Principal has limited power, but it is held by an actual adult...

( hi just a quick heads up - im not really adding people to the vocaloid-official masterpost anymore. its gotten really overwhelming to keep up with so. if you’ve asked me to add you and I haven’t done it it’s not personal it’s just kind of become A Lot so im gonna stop doing it I think. the current masterlist will stay up though!

also sorry for no funny posts in a while. ive been really busy with school and also not really in a good headspace to be cooking up Funney Jokes. im still alive and cool just busy with other stuff )

Dakota would do the one chip challenge at school, eat it, and chug like carton after carton of milk as people around him watch in horrified fascination. Vyncent would try it out of curiosity and throw up, and William would take one look at them both and just back into the crowd and pretends not to know them. They all get detention.

YOU'RE ALIVE??? - my reaction upon seeing your most recent reblog

Anyway, your fic and blog single-handedly kickstarted my U.S. military history obsession <3

im alive!!!! yeah I've been away for a while. it, ah... has not been a grrrreat time to be a military historian or a Big Fan of military propaganda pieces like Top Gun for the last year or so...

lmfao I just saw that the second trump admin plans to haul up all the commanders in charge of the Afghanistan withdrawal (which HE negotiated btw) in front of congress with the plan to charge them all with TREASON per the UCMJ (good fucking luck dude)

but um in my timeline... that includes navy secretary 2021-2022 tom iceman kazansky, bro... so in case you're wondering what these characters are up to in the present day apparently the answer is "getting investigated for treason." sorry to bring down the mood. my happy ending's a little sour now.

mostly I've been insanely busy. I graduate university in may & have to have a journalism capstone, an English research thesis (my paper on military commanding officers in fiction inspired by my top gun fics tbh) and a creative writing capstone (novel) done by march. plus job applications, work for the place where im currently freelancing, apartment hunting... so im a wee bit crunched lately.

some minor updates for anyone who still cares: I am, extremely slowly, still editing WWGATTAI & the other stories. I've finished a complete overhaul of the Carole-dies chapter, chapter 7, but have yet to post it because I'd like to sync a logistical change in the story across the other pieces. and I'm mostly done with a COMPLETE overhaul of chapter 6 (aka "the nineties" chapter where ice & mav move in together & build their family) which goes into much more detail about how... emotionally and logistically... they could pull that off. + a lot more baseball stuff + the Clinton sex scandal. which leaves just chapter 10 left to do. ugh, my least favorite, which is why im putting it off... and then debriefing etc. which won't take as long because I don't honestly care about debriefing at all and I just have very minor changes to make to it. slider doesn't need editing and idgaf about the other pieces.

once I finish with the edits, which will happen eventually I swear because more than anything I just want to hold the updated edited final thing in my hands the way I did with the first draft, I'll upload my pdf (with meta analysis and notes that go back to mid-2022) for u guys to do with as you wish

also for the m:i doubleheaders I am planning on editing my m:i fic pre-m:i8 next year and pending ilsa life status will write much much more

[boycritter]

anyways i have probably been accepted into one of the schools i applied to? which is pretty neat

my favorite solution to "how does Vee's legal status work" is that whenever a person in authority asks questions, she shapeshifts into a scary FBI agent, takes the guy to a back room and growls menacing non-explanations, stressing that it is Very Important that they Not Look Too Hard At This Girl's Paperwork, and that Bad Things might just happen to anyone who does. capisce? (The flaw in this plan is of course Jacob Hopkins, who spots this routine and adds the Men in Black to his corkboard.)

THIS IS HILARIOUS. SURE....

Preparing to do some good old fashioned academic labor organizing. Wish me luck.

Honestly the fact that we don't see a teacher even just wandering around the hallways at Furin cracks me up and made me imagine a scenario where some new teacher or administrator moves into town and is just incredibly confused as to why this entire town is so dependent on a bunch of teenage boys in a gang

Cross your fingers for me, I've been looking for a 6 months long internship for the past 2 weeks (ever since I started school, since said school didn't tell me that by starting directly into year 2, I had to have an internship lined up for the end of September 🙄), I secured an interview this upcoming Thursday
