Queer, educator, tired and trying for hope. Will settle for people to hold while the world burns. 🏳️⚧️ Wight, in the oldest sense.
The kids are teaching each other to say "facking blyat"
Externally: At daycare we use kind words, kiddos. What are some kind words we can use?
Internally: *taking notes* wonderful combination of words, truly poetry.

Child at lunch, looking me directly in the eye, shrugging and holding her little threeyearold hands up: "Mitaaa... Mita, tik teven!"

these Young Male Christians should form some sort of Association, then they could offer services beyond gymnasiums and shower facilities, such as short-term lodging at which it might be fun to stay

Context: specsavers currently has 60% off lens upgrades, lens upgrades are never included in their 2-for-1s, they have a seemingly constant 2-for-1 on their frames, and my prescription is fuck-off strong so I need their stupid-thin usually-220$ upgrade. Cool? Cool.

Love is not finite
Loving more people does not make you worse at loving
You cannot love all 8 billion people on the planet exactly equally
That doesn't mean someone who cares a whole lot about many people is any less actually loving

Happy moments:
My wife reading Ancillary Justice to me and my girlfriend.
My housemate going to queer prom, bouncing around in sheer joy.
Running into friends at a coffee shop and talking movies and books.
Zipping to father's day beach potluck in a sunny queen car.
My life
Is good

Funny moment of the week: heated debate between toddlers about whether an object is purple or a triangle. (It was both, no amount of such explanation calmed this debate)

We have no money
We have no job security
The planet is frying
We are anxious
I plan to have a child
I may not be able to, because I do not want to raise a child in poverty, and my full time, educationneeded job where I work with children does not pay enough to cover living on my own in my city.

You know this. Why do you keep asking why we’re not doing things we used to do? It’s because we have no money. We. Have. No. Money.
We have no money. There is no money left. It’s all gone. None of us have it. No money. Nope. Money gone. We don’t have it.
No.

My life goal now is to be able to have childcare and happy children in one part of the building and the queer, sex-positive role-play with full events in another part of the building. All while everyone's being fed, cared for, and addressed.

This morning I successfully avoided ~six fights by teaching a child that passing was the most important part of soccer.
I then heard the same child repeat this logic to other children all afternoon.
Some days I think I'm good at this.

New things frequently suck, thus resistance to AI.
@shibbi.bsky.social: what if, instead of a new way to create suck, we build Good Thing?
Me: what if, instead of building new good thing, we strengthen and expand access to old good thing?

This is what happens when someone ai-generates a floorplan.
I went to this showing, by the way. The rooms are in the wrong place, both do have windows, the kitchen window could not be where it is, none of this is right.
But check. Those. Closets.

Nothing fills one with quite so much hatred as travel.
Under normal circumstances, standing slightly out of line, adjusting and touching a seat, or using a sanitizer wipe on everything would be merely irritating.
On a two hour delayed flight.... I am restraining my homicidal urges.
