people giving me compliments on my cognitive abilities and how good i am at my job is the best compliment. i’m a middle school science teacher and i do a lot of other things for the school. hearing my coworkers and supervisors say i’m doing great work (and knowing it, too) is just a really great feeling. i don’t work to make money, i work to change lives and hopefully the world. it’s super fulfilling but incredibly hard work. so hearing that i’m doing a good job is like telling me my soul is fulfilling its mission. 🥹 why did i cry a lil typing this? hahahahah

I feel I’m pretty good at recognizing the labor the current state of my life requires, but it still feels so good when people on the outside get a peek and recognize the sheer energy and intentional thought and unseen labor that I live in. A nice reminder that this IS hard, and I AM killin’ it!!!

I teach world history, but today I took 117 thirteen year olds on a field trip that I organized, then I stayed after school to coach Esports. It is the best job in the whole world I'm not exaggerating.
Most of the time, I get to just study about the material and then find fun ways to synthesize the material, all while yapping about my special interests. It's the best and yes I am a Gemini.
I highly recommend especially if you had a tough time in school. I feel lucky a lot of the time, and even when I'm tired I get to remember that I don't participate in capitalism the same way as like an office job.
Also, I'm in a union, which is the actual best part of the job.

please let us be free from the commodification of the data generated from our social, whimsical, and sincere, free expression
the sincerity of this app is because it’s different from those other apps :/ why do we need metrics on how we socialize? 😮💨😮💨
i’m curious as much as i am sad about the decision to make the star count visible. is that what its proper name is? or are we calling it likes? 👀

to me being perfectly imperfect means sincerely expressing the full range of human emotions in community with all y’all
the positive and negative and every emotion in-between
living is messy, thanks for witnessing my mess

i've been seeing piffies posting about, and I myself, have experienced The Yearn.
i've sat with my feelings about relationships through many seasons. i was with someone for 10 yrs, we got engaged, i broke it off. although he was an incredible person, he was not my soulmate. i've had a few relationships since then and have felt The Yearn.
after being dumped this weekend i have some thoughts to ask myself when looking at dating / The Yearn.
1 -- are you seeking connection or attention?
2 -- is your relationship an excuse for you to not work on other parts of yourself you know you need to take time to face?
3 -- how are your friendships? do you have people behind you that will see you through any season? keep those people around FOREVER. maybe marry them instead.... lmao 😳
4 -- have you dated yourself? was it full of joy and love?
5 -- can you (within reason - we can NOT exist and heal with out each other) meet your own needs and care for yourself?
6 -- how honest are you with yourself? you'll only ever be able to be that honest with other people, no matter the relationship.
7 -- are you just trying to follow a story arc that you *think* you *should* follow? see link: relationship escalator
my goals right now are to build up a family of people that will be with me forever! it's not a ton of people but it's enough! if i find a "soulmate" or "love of my life" along the way then like... nice 😃👍 but like that's not my GOAL. if you are young and reading this, i wish i knew in my 20s (am 31) what i am writing in this post. i g2g tho ~ ily, be well!
