Existence is absurd. This content is my attempt to either bask in or bitch about it. It's a coin flip. 😅

2018…More teachers resigned than any other year prior

2019…A new record # of resignations
2020…That # AGAIN SURPASSED.
2021…AGAIN
2022…Broke ALL previous records

Questions: What was learned?
Answer: ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!

The career is simply no longer sustainable

The last question I was asked by a student before resigning (unrelated) was "Can dogs have autism?"

Therapist quote of the session: "Everyone wants to do Ayahuasca, but everyone hates doing the dishes."

I wonder if we accept such a low academic standard for students because holding them accountable to a higher one is hard.

[Revolving_Door_Admin @RAD_is_awesome]

We always put our students first. I mean, it might not be in the form of smaller class sizes, working AC, replacing 30-year-old desks, or resources for learning, but we always mention that they're first at parent meetings.

My first ever sports ball tweet, now obligatory since I live near Denver. I think the nuggets got the most touchdowns or something. Either way, I'm going to assume the gun shots I now hear are a good thing.

My mom: texts me religious propaganda on why I'm a good son

Me, mere hours later: sends her a TikTok spoiler of the voice. 😈

[Nearsighted Nihilist @joytothevoid]

I'm not sure why I have suddenly found myself on shipping container home TikTok, but I am completely okay with it and choose to take it as a sign from the universe of my future.

Beautiful weather and poor impulse control: I set up my hammock alongside a beautiful Colorado mountain stream, vices in hand. In contemplation I realized the moment is all we have so we must enjoy it to the fullest. As soon as I had cell service I took out a loan for a bronco.😅

I literally cannot ever allow myself to take a nap without setting an alarm. I inevitably wake up HOURS later and cannot be sure I'm even in the same dimension where I originally fell asleep. 😅

Do we think that people get less and less excited about their birthdays as they get older simply because they are dissociating more and more or is it just me?

Where is home in truth?
Is it where you're from or maybe
Where you wish to be?

[Nearsighted Nihilist @joytothevoid]

Oh so you're attracted to dangerous men? Well I currently have a lit candle in my bedroom. ON. MY. BOOKCASE. #livedangerously

Steak is self care.

[Nearsighted Nihilist @joytothevoid]

I'm way too out of shape to deal with this daily weight of existential dread.

@erynn417 It was not a great moment but the weekend is finally here.

[Nearsighted Nihilist @joytothevoid]

Have you ever thought that maybe the reason everything is able to just "slide right off your back" is simply because you're dissociating?

[Nearsighted Nihilist @joytothevoid]

@erynn417 If it helps this occurred to me right after being cussed out by a student today in class. 😅
