You gotta spend $50 in a calendar year to leave a review that’s probably why

Zero reality where I can see teaching that long. Tell him to retire lol

I cannot fathom any reality where I teach for 30 years.

I’m literally counting down the remaining 19 years until I can retire.

Doing this for 30 (or more) years seems completely fucking insane to me.

That sounds like the best possible row honestly

Boyfriend, happiness, key. My wife is gonna be confused.

I just grinned while reading this if that helps

Sooooo good

Violent Night was altogether too much fun.

Taken from the album “The Age of Consent”, available on all platforms: https://BronskiBeat.lnk.to/TheAgeOfConsentSubscribe to the channel: https://londonreco... Bronski Beat - Smalltown Boy (Official Video)

Rose Glass and @a24 using Bronski Beat has more than just the vibe of the movie in mind. The song itself and the accompanying music video have some tonal connective tissue, as well:

Ritual comes in all forms, so we've asked some of the best & brightest to tell us about their favourites. Today, @edenroyce.bsky.social espouses the virtues of the 1997 film Eve's Bayou: "It gets so much about hoodoo, southern gothic & the cultural milieu right." Pop it on your watchlist!

This is sarcasm obviously

It was the absolute most fun driving in that wind today

I fucking LOATHE having to get loud with my students. But holy fucking shit do these kids have a case of vacation-itis. This whole week is gonna be a nightmare.

Oh hi. Here’s my latest newsletter. robertpottone.substack.com/p/from-my-re...

I have that!

Went to the barber this morning and on their sign for what they offer there was a notable entry:

“Man facial - $25”

I’ve paid way more for a facial from a man so honestly this is a steal.

I think some of my all-time favorite things I’ve learned this year include:

1) It’s supposedly physically impossible to get an erection in space.

2) Michael Jackson was a crip.

3) Rasputin insulated his house with human hair.

You’re welcome.

Me and my new follower

Just conferenced with a couple of my non-native speakers who are unfortunately failing. I say “failing” because obviously no one really fails, but these are kids I know can do better.

I hate having to be bad cop. I just wanna be the weird, funny teacher all the time.

This is going to be great, especially as it's part of a panel with some fantastic authors!

Yay!!!

The Society's upper echelons have a particular taste for folk horror, so it seems fitting that we'll round-off Writing the Occult: Ritual with a panel featuring some of the best and darkest in that realm. One of those writers? It's only
@robertottone.bsky.social! Meet him in the replies...

Hey! Can I introduce you to the Sleepy Hollow Gang?

I think because a “jumper” is typically what cops call someone who may be attempting to jump off a building. Third Eye Blind has a song about it, even.

That said, my wife and I call them “jumpers”

You’re the best. Thank you kindly!

Please do!! Amazon plzzzz lol
