You know that kid in class that everyone is like “you are going to grow up to be an art teacher some day!” Well I knew that kid. I fell in love with and married that kid. Let me tell you, she did the whole ‘hero avoids the call of destiny’ thing for a WHILE. then an opportunity to work as a TA at our daughters school came up and she got it. THEN during the plague, the art teacher left and the district didn’t know what to do to replace her. Destiny grabbed my wife and through the means of temporary relaxation of hiring practices, she was hired on with a provisionary teaching certificate. And she LOVES IT.

And the kids love her!

She teaches 6th grade-highschool art classes as well as digital art and running the yearbook class (it’s a very small school. Teachers cover a lot.)(her degree is in Art and not in teaching or she would have been right in with no fooling around with COVID law)

She is already making a difference in these kids lives. In her classroom kids find a place to express themselves and burn off the stresses of being a highschooler. LGBT+ kids have a place where they can genuinely be themselves safely (we live out in the woods so she makes a point of letting everyone be in a safe welcome place)

I love her so much.

Here is the deal tho: the time is ticking on these relaxed rules that allowed her in without a teaching degree. She needs the full certification if she is going to continue being employed. We have been fighting both of our student loans back with sacrifice and hard budgeting since we got married and we are starting to see light at the end of the tunnel. So understandably, neither of us are too excited about taking out another student loan.

While I know we will probably have too, we would like to offset as much of that cost as we can with a little bit of fund raising.

If you don’t like GoFundMe’s way of doing things, her Venmo and Cashapp links are in there too.

If you ever had an Art teacher make an impact on your life, please consider donating in their honor to help my wife be that teacher for someone new.

Thank you!

I had a dream where the new slang term for boobs was “secret knees” and now I am wondering if I should stop doing drugs or if I should start doing harder ones

I mean, if you want to

But be honest with me: what would you do if someone sent you a text at 1 am that was like “heeeedy! Send pix of your secret knees pls!”

Bigfoots feet aren’t actually big, they are just close to the camera

The other day I was looking for a specific reaction gif and I ran into this on google

Like…. What I was looking up had absolutely nothing that could be taken sexually, or violent, or graphic in any way that could be considered offensive. So I just HAD to see what the hell google was keeping me safe from.

This. This gif is what was censored.

…

I mean…. I hope no one flags this post

I might unlock some childhood memories here…

I am obligated to reblog this again, because it is now Superwholock, and therefore perfection.

people need to remember that every tumblr post in 2012 was like this

Damn, feet didn’t change much between 153,000 years ago to 21,000 years ago. But by the time we got to the moon, we lost all our toes

I would like to start a collaborative photo series summarizing the 50 states in one picture each. I will start things off with my state: Oregon

The porn store next door to the weed store in front of road work surrounded by the ever constant, throw-a-rock-and-you-will-hit-one trees.

Please reblog with a picture from your state and provide a brief description of what we are looking at.

I think we need to start carrying swords again. Pistol on one hip, sword on the other.

There would be a scocial taboo about pulling your gun before your sword. Its like that scene in A Christmas Story where the kid skipped the triple dare and went right to the triple dog dare and everyone saw it as a breach of etiquette.

Arguments must progress from yelling to fist fights then to swords and then pistols only in the most extreme situations.

When a situation gets out of hand quickly it is described as “going for its gun first”

Rewatching Truman Show for the first time in a long time, and the detail that’s stuck with me this time is the set design.

The characters drive modern cars and hock modern products, but it’s all presented with a veneer of 1950s wholesome applecheeked Americana. Truman’s life is presented as an escape for the audience from the drudgery of the modern day, and the aesthetic they’ve chosen for this is the post-war economic boom. This is the simple time, the movie says. This is the good time. Doesn’t the modern day suck? Let’s go back and see our friends from the days when life was good.

And it’s a lie. Truman’s life is a lie, and the image of white picket fenced suburbia they’ve presented is a lie. It’s an elaborate construction to recreate a false memory that’s comfortable for advertisers. The movie is a satire, but it’s also a very blatant statement against the nostalgia for a golden age which never existed. It’s a lie. It doesn’t exist.

I don’t know. I’m spitballing. I’m biased because I despise mid-20th century Americana and I naturally treat it with hostility, but it’s very gratifying to see a movie kind of agree with me.

Let me tell you a story.

Earlier in the summer, I went to Florida with my friend. We decided to visit a town nearish to where we were staying called Seaside, as we had heard it was a cute place. What I did not know at the time was that Seaside is the place where they filmed The Truman Show. It was a “master-planned community,” constructed in the 80s to be the perfect beach town.

Seaside, FL

Seahaven

And yes, it really does look Like That. Not just in their tourist-agency photos, in real life it looks like that. Arguably the irl Seaside is even prettier than movie Seahaven, because the the office buildings where Truman works don’t exist; the town is 100% cutesy homes and little shops.

Holding the laptop’s power button down because it’s crashed and there’s no other way to turn it off feels so unsettling. It makes me feel like I’m holding a cushion over its face while the life slowly ebbs out of it.

Why you have to make me feel bad about this now? I’ll never be able to think of anything else. XD

I think we are stuck in the universe where other universes don’t exist

Did you guys know that the most recent version of sharks have fins that are kinda leg like and they like to walk up onto land?

no way i must have missed an update!

The Epaulette shark is only about 9 million years old as a species, making it the most recent branch in the shark family. And it is slowly but surely evolving into a land animal

You know what to do boys

Push or Welcome

Send that horrid beast home

Welcome that horrid beast to our blessed land
