Middle sister called me to say she heard through the grapevine that I'm trans and to warn me of the horrors of testosterone. That I'll ruin my body with it and also she'll never call me by my chosen name. But she loves me! And I just had to sit there like wicked thanks this is all very contradictory but okay have a good day I guess

The hardest thing for me is wanting to be there for people, offering assistance, and they turn it down. Gotta remember that’s on them and not me. I’ve got a big heart enough to ask and offer. If they don’t want my help that says more about them than it does me…

How is school going?
Better than I thought it might, actually.
My English professor is a very nice Trans woman who does slam poetry. She was absolutely delighted to learn I wrote fanfics and, on occasion, my own poetry.
My ASL teacher is a very sweet deaf woman, who screamed with delight and hugged me when she found out I had synesthesia. Which. Out of all the reactions I was expecting, that was not one of them.
I'm a little annoyed with my fingerspelling teacher. But that one is online, so I'm annoyed with the class in general. I'd really wanted in person. (I'll go on that tangent in a minute.) But hey, even if she dumps quite a work load on us right off the bat, at least she tries to engage a little bit.
And then there's math. I desperately wanted math in person, because I struggle with it. A lot. But instead I had to do online. So I'm annoyed at that. But THEN. It's entirely self taught??
Like. I'm essentially just given some materials and told to figure it out.
I sort through what's relevant in the chapter.
I figure out what notes to take.
I practice what I GUESS I need to practice.
I do the assignment best I can.
It's graded by the computer.
Rinse, repeat.
If I should have a question, I either figure it out myself, find something online, or send an email to my professor. Emails can take HOURS to go back and forth, if I'm stuck, what am I supposed to do for that time?
So why does the class cost $400 ish dollars? Why can't I just buy the $40 materials, WHICH I HAD TO BUY ALSO, since I'm doing all the work? Granted, my scholarships covered most of the cost, but it is the PRINCIPLE of the matter, yknow?? Ugh
AND THEN THERES THE WAY I WAS LIED TO??
I'm so bitter that I'm a hybrid student! Because I asked and asked and asked!
"Is this major available in person?"
"Yes, absolutely!"
"All the classes?"
"Mhm!"
"Will it be available at the campus 20 miles away in the next town over?"
"Yep, deaf studies is offered at all our campuses!"
"Great!"
AND THEN
"Well actually, we're slowly transitioning to having this major entirely online."
"...are you, now?"
"Yes. So some of your classes will be online."
"...how many?"
"Half of them!"
"Which ones?"
"Fingerspelling and math."
"Fingerspelling. Which is a visual learning class. And math. Which is the subject I struggle with the most. Will be online?"
"Yes."
"Ok... when are the set virtual lectures?"
"There aren't any, it's entirely independent study! You have due dates on assignments though."
"Ok... well at least it's still in the next town over, so I can drive over pretty easily if I need some help from a tutor?"
"Oh, no, sorry, deaf studies is now offered only at our main campus, in the state campus, almost 70 miles from where you live!"
"...Yall fucking liars."
So yes, I have to commute that a couple times a week for the classes I do have in person, because there was no way I was doing entirely online when I KNOW I struggle with that. And I'm pissed? But there's also no other option? Because it's the only school in my state outside of fucking VEGAS - 415 MILES AWAY, MIND YOU - that offers this major. And I can't go to like. Cali next door, even if it DID offer those closer - it doesn't, by the way, and there's none nearby, I'd have to live with a relative in Redding or something - none of my scholarships would work outside of my state.
So?? I'm so irritated?? I'm not even a week in, and college already feels like a scam?? But I still need to do college so UGH, FUCK

Me: I'll write today. Especially since I finally got a fic request for the first time in my life and it's one I like and really want to write
My husband: So I'll be needing the laptop to check out insurance policies for next year and then to play games
Me: No it's fine I'll just write on my phone. Which I fucking hate doing. No big deal

Americans not giving a shit about the wildfires burning down forests and homes in Canada until smoke starts spreading across the border. Meanwhile Indigenous communities across the country are far more likely to be impacted by the fires and I’ve seen all of one link to a charity and about nine million memes. 🙃

Ghost Kitchen (brought to you by criminal entrepreneur, Red Hood)
Danny’s got the easiest job in Gotham.
He works as a fry cook at a shoddily-run, independent burger joint. Hardly anyone comes in, despite prices being criminally low, and portions insanely large, and while the manager looks like the average tough-as-nails ex-con, he lets Danny mess around in the kitchen whenever the place is empty. (Which is often. This place has to be the city’s hidden gem or something!)
Mr. Manager’s the only one ever there with Danny, except for sometimes when his buddies come over to smoke and play cards. Danny would find it shady, except part of his job is not to ask questions. Literally, he was told during the interview.
(It was a weird interview. Why would they need to hire someone who’s been in a gunfight before? Like, he has, but Gotham’s idea of “hirable qualities” is so bizarre.)
So instead he whips up some killer burgers with the frozen ingredients, and basks in the praise as the guys tell him he shouldn’t have, he does too much for this joint, ain’t that friendly!
Now, Danny’s a chef on the newer side. As a teen he’d preferred the look of Nasty Burger over anything with Michelin stars, and he only really took up cooking after Jazz moved out for college. But just like ecto-exposure used to turn the groceries sentient, Danny’s low-level ecto signature imbues all his food with something historically haunted Gothamites just love! And Danny’s never been one to half-ass a job when it makes people happy.
With fresher produce, real meat, Danny’s sure he can take his dishes to the next level. It takes a couple months of badgering, but his manager finally agrees to contact the mysterious store owner, who keeps the place going, despite profits Danny knows have to be in the red.
Danny spends the morning prepping. He pours his heart into his food, eager to impress. The big boss will be here soon, and he wants to prove that despite the dangerous location, this place has real potential!
It isn’t until the Red Hood shows up that Danny realizes he’s been working for a money laundering scheme.

sometimes fandom seems to struggle with the concept that...people can be kind/"good people" in some situations and very very not kind/not "good people" in others.
I feel like there's this urge to either write off the positive behavior as "fake" or to find a way to ignore/explain away/write out the negative behavior. and I personally find this really really irritating in both directions, actually

Sorry y’all the entire Clever Hans wiki article should be basic required reading at this point.
The “Clever Hans” effect, also understood as animals performing tasks because their handler/owner subtly and often unknowingly cues them that they’ll get a positive response is well documented. Hell, it’s been observed in drug sniffing dogs where the dogs will give false positives based on the dog’s observance of the handler’s body language. Scientifically that’s very interesting.
Dogs using buttons are not “speaking” they are using what they know will get them a desired response. Dogs do speak, to us and each other, in their own form of communication (body language mostly). We as humans are adept at being able to learn to read this just as dogs can read OUR body language (body language we often don’t know we are communicating btw). That’s neat as heck.

Unless you're into clingy men, dating Gojo would be so annoying. This mf won't let you leave the room without asking where you're going. He's not gonna follow you, but don't take too long. Even if you're just using the bathroom, if he thinks you're taking too long, he's outside the door asking what you're doing.
God forbid you try to go out with friends who aren't also his friends. He'll tell you to go out, have fun, and he doesn't care. Until it's 3 hours later and you hear a very familiar voice from behind you responding to what your friend just said.
This man is never leaving you alone. You're stuck with him for life.
