Teacher Max

At the bus stop. People keep veering into the bus lane, splashing me with so much water???? Rude?????

I can't fully recall but I think I told my class of toddlers today to disregard British people as a whole. I was saying Guy Fawkes day doesn't matter because it's my birthday lmfao

Thank you!!

Made my class of toddlers listen to Dead Man's Party basically all day and by the end of it they were all throwing up devil horns and threatening to steal my tongue so I've successfully made them into lil satanists or something

My birthday is tomorrow :o)

My birthday is tomorrow :o)

God I forgot how easy DM prep is compared to writing a book. I get to stop right before it gets hard (ie, characters reacting to things, emotions, fights, etc) and can describe things like "a Dracula looking guy" and it's fine and good

I got called a psycho by a parent at work for following school policy and am so bummed out by this that I can't even focus on reading Clowns.pdf

I love WRITING!! GRRRRAAAAHHHHH

Finally giving in and accepting stereotypes by getting into Mother Mother

Got mad at my DM for being too Christian so now I am making a spreadsheet of all the funerary customs of each religion/cultural group in Faerun out of spite

I forgot what it felt like to be mansplained to (both writing and childcare are largely dominated by women in my experience so it doesn't come up a lot) and I got so fucking mad I almost screamed

This is like years off level stuff, but I think starting my own daycare is ultimately achievable and I wouldn't be beholden to corporate interests :)

I think today I figured out a new life goal which is insanely exciting

>Boss asks if anyone wants to go home early
>I volunteer
>Get sent home early
>Awash with guilt and sensation of cowardice for having done so?????

I'm operating on levels of workaholic heretofore unheard of

The other day I said "The vicissitudes of the potty"

I desperately need to cut words on this draft of my book but I keep having compelling ideas for new stuff, help

A painting of a very large hog.

AWS is down, post hog

Gonzo from the muppets painted with just his head appearing in front of a black field his eyes filled with tears

hello darkness my old friend

The combined vocabularies of being a writer and a preschool teacher has me saying shit like "I did a perfunctory sweep to get all the yuckies off the floor."

Hand foot and mouth

Ugh I wish I had someone to geek out about my crush with but my friends are sooo rational and reasonable and I for sure don't have a chance and they keep TELLING me that instead of indulging in my delusions!!!

I rewrote a sex scene to be more in line with the current draft's emotional themes and tone and in doing so also made it way sexier please clap

it's a tragedy when you know a character would be into something but you have negative interest in it yourself so it's just an aspect of them you'll never explore. a freak beyond your means

Now that I'm on break I don't have to sprint in circles accomplishing tasks! Aaahhh, how relaxing, time to do do critique for writing group (aka more tasks) (burn out? I hardly know 'er)

Writing something I never thought I would: my protagonist actually talking about their feelings

Had a moment with a mom at work where she found out her daughter's development is delayed and that she might be autistic and she looked so worried and scared so I just went "Hey, so, I'm autistic," and her surprise and relief was so nice. It was cool to be a counterpoint to propaganda
