first jaurim and now taemin. fuck these stupid ass visa issues because there were *none* before this fuck ass administration ruined everything just because
@jesse_guwap no joke, the number of times i've had to correct my students who've used "colored" in place of "people of color" or black is one too many. i genuinely don't think people are being taught about slurs, anymore
finished up a ppt on the fta/federal policy today and do you know how difficult it was for me to overcome the urge to sweep my bathroom instead. i love all parts of transport history but idk... fed stuff makes my eyes droop
condolences to my students this evening
So far from what Iโve seen:
Black femme lesbians = belles
Black masculine lesbians = beaus
Black fem/masc lesbians = stelles
Black Bi fems = blossoms
Black Bi mascs = buds
These are so cute what other ones can be added? (Ex. Black trans ppl, nonbinary, masc/fem sapphics etc.)
back on the job hunt since this collaborative project i worked on was rejected for funding (womp womp).
but for real this time. like, i need to figure my life out by january because teaching one class ain't it
flying home for the winter holidays used to be $300, maybe $350 if i bought the ticket two weeks before.
checked last month, flying nyc to hou is sitting at $850. i'm thisclose to telling my mom i can't make it this year
while it was very sweet of the dad to remodel the bathroom, the mom will have issues with dirt and mold in the future due to gaps between the tub and wall + pane of glass. there will be water... everywhere
@justforfujoshi@canibecharming quite possibly? the mafia/regular person AU is a well-trodden remix of the "bad boy with a heart of gold" trope. i wasn't criticizing you or the author; i was just also surprised because of the similarity
@canibecharming@justforfujoshi i had to ask myself the same question because i've read a fic with a very similar premise.
you're probably thinking of "night shift", which was completed earlier this year. it also had a college-aged shane working at a 7/11 and bratva ilya but with fleshed out OCs.
i started studying spanish in earnest back in may and i'm sort of stunned by how much i'm able to read now.
s/o to 10 years of french for paving the way
paid off one small loan just to be confronted with the fact that i'll need another small loan to get through the rest of this month + september and did i mention my student loans payments are due again starting in november
