My screenwriting professor senior year showed up late to class with coffee and told us to take a walk in the snow outside and "get inspired" and then meet him at the library to share our new screenplay ideas and as a new teacher myself I just really vibe with that.

i think we don’t talk enough about how the phrase “pull yourself up by your bootstraps” was originally used to call something out as being completely fucking impossible to do by yourself

Two weeks ago you could’ve been woken up at 2am & taken to quarantine if your swab was in a test tube w/ another pos+ case. Since Monday, 25% of our students & staff have gotten COVID. We’re entering a stage the rest of the world hit 2.5 years ago. The policy whiplash is insane.

@benbenghini Me, first year teaching, boo-hoo-ing over the amount of essays I have to grade: Why is teaching so hard, this will take hours, noooooo

My coworker: What if you just... like, assigned less homework?

@exfundiediary This has the aroma of the purpose of sex being to have children and if that isn’t the goal or you aren’t open to conception being a by-product of intercourse, then you shouldn’t be having sex

@Foreign_stars_ Thinking about this a lot. It’s almost like I’ve been given a social cue I can’t respond to any more. Can’t reciprocate bc it’d be insincere. Can’t not reply at all w/o risking being exposed as “not Christian enough.” But this is only part of the immense negative reaction I feel.

tbh I've been doing this out of spite for a while now, I'm tired of getting 10 ads in a row

The problem with ADHD is 🟧intrinsic🟧 motivation, another person being there creates 🟩external🟩 motivation AND accountability, and sometimes that's what makes it click and work for you
(intrinsic motivation= I can motivate myself by my own means)

Enneagram check! Type “I’m an Enneagram [number] and I” and let your phone fill in the rest.

Marilyn Manson, Harry Potter books, renting Dirty Dancing when Netflix still delivered DVDs in the mail. Most of my sneaking was staying in internet chat rooms with strangers past "curfew." Internet shut off at 10pm but wouldn't kick me out of chat sessions I was already in.

I created a second account years ago for content related to a kpop boyband that I love (y'all know the one) and I don't always notice when I accidentally RT something to this account instead, but I think I need to figure out why I feel so mortified each time it happens.
