I had managed to avoid all major spoilers for Why Women Kill until it went on sale and I bought it. Wow. That was amazing work.

5th graders are the single most overstimulating age of children I've ever dealt with. The sheer amount of repetitive annoying noises they make πŸ˜¬πŸ™ƒ

If you are going to use AI in your academic work at ALL you need to use it smart. I know literature reviews suck to write, but you MUST do the research yourself. If you do use AI, use it to brainstorm and nothing more.

Hot take: fidget toys should NOT make crunchy, crackly, whistling, or otherwise annoying sounds. Please please please find an alternative.

When you combine a substitute teacher with misophonia and kids with verbal and motor stimming, you get me...overstimulated and BEGGING for the whistling and pen tapping to please, for the love of God, stop.

I finished the introduction to my book! I needed it as writing sample for the full proposal. Only a few more weeks and my agent might be shopping it to publishers!!! (I have no idea how long until then actually, because I have no concept of traditional publishing. But I can hope!)

I just had a 5th grader ask me if he could use a bottle of Elmer's glue on my desk. When I asked what they needed it for they asked "is it edible?" I'm so done. What the fuck?

Opinion: middle schools need to ban body sprays. The combined smell of a dozen scents of bath and body works and Axe body spray gives me a migraine every time I substitute teach. Like damn.
