Oh no. What if we're old?

I'm so upset!!!!!

My students don't know k d lang!!!!!!!!

I appreciate you bringing this to me attention because what a crash out. Dude is still mad at his ex.

Y'all, I don't want to get too excited but this is first time in five years I haven't needed to go to sleep as soon as my teaching was done.
I'm waiting for the bus filled with energy, although I can feel the eyes getting exhausted. I hadn't noticed till it started up again that it had stopped.

Also you can call you local Independent bookstore and they will order it in and it can sit next to you as you're writing lectures! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Is your dog naked? Mine is a never nude who always wears her collar.

So a student in my class was trying to remember a group of people who we weren't talking about and goes "what are they called again? Oh yeah! Straight women!"

Also, I was teaching about the War Measures Act & the FLQ & the erosion of civil liberties while wearing my "this machine kills fascists" t-shirt with the anatomically with the pride colours on it and none of my students noticed! :( :( What is the point of being a purple-haired menace to society?!

I know they're Australian but I think I'm going to play Beds are Burning for the morning class on human rights in Canada. I could do Parachute Club's Rise Up but I just like Beds are Burning more.

We all agree that I should open my lecture on lesbian culture in Canada in the 1950s and 60s with k. d. lang's Constant Craving, right?

It would be nice to stop having the Sunday Existential Crisis about Teaching every week!

Angry goose chasing a man. "State rights for what? What do you need those state rights for motherfucker?"

I just put this slide up, although it's about Canada's lack of enthusiasm for the UN Declaration of Human Rights because of "state's rights" rather than, you know, the other thing.

I just put on a slide "In this House we Love and Respect Ruth Frager." Because we do! And I will make them love & respect her too!
I may be going through my regular Sunday Night Crisis.

When the rest of you are writing lectures do you also put little heart emojis next to the names of historians you like? Do you have heart lockets that open up with "[Historical Figure], my beloved"? Do you use shrug emojis? Am I normal? I want to be normal.

Index as a wee baby black dog eating a man. The man is a stuffed toy.

I need a photo for my lecture about law so here's a pic of index eating the patriarchy

I feel like I'm a dried up husk. I'm told this is a side effect of the blood but I thought the blood would make me feel better and not worse. I still need to write a lecture about human rights.
I left the dogs with my mom. I miss them.

I'm so tired. I'm so very very very tired.

Blood for the blood God time!

Grumpy selfie of me, the woman who can't reach a syllabus.

This is the face of a woman who didn't read the syllabus properly and got both location and time wrong. Luckily I was an hour early so I can fix it.

Dogs walked and fed, I have showered. Need to put on clothes. Why is life suffering?

Girl, same.

Was up till 4 grading. Now I need to walk dogs and then get ready for a dance class! Then I have the blood! And then I have to write my lecture about human rights in Canada.

a man and a woman are standing in front of a bunch of candles Alt: It's a gif from The Rocky Horror Picture Sure. It's Magenta and Riff Raff running their hands together. I'm very tired.

Let's Do the Time Warp Again!
(I never want to do the time change again.)

My favourite prompt to ask the "larp as an AI" website is "draw me a picture of a happy dog.
Not enough people are using it to have a steady stream of prompts but it's fun when it's working.

don’t forget to destroy your clocks tonight, walk away from your mortgage, just start driving, you’re free

Okay they now have both eaten each other's dinner and have calmed down so maybe now I can do work? I'm having a tough time tonight.

The dogs are making me crazy in two entirely separate ways right now so I'm hiding.
