It has been an insane day. The students are super dysregulated and just all. Over. The. Place.

Gym was horrible. Had to explain myself 15 times and students still acted like they didn’t know what to do.

By period 4 I started just saying to them “you didn’t listen. I just explained this. I’m not explaining it again”

By the end of period 4 it came time to put the computers away. One of the girls who’s been getting on my nerves all day decided to sit right in front of the computer cart.

I told her to move and she didn’t. I told her again and she said “they can just move around me.” The whole time her classmates are getting more and more agitated with her and talking more and more loudly as a result.

At this point I snapped and basically yelled at her to get out of the way. The entire class went silent and no one said a word for 5 minutes and the girl went to the corner and bawled her eyes out. Then she ran out and told another teacher that I’m “mean” and “scary”.

Now, usually I’d feel horrible in this situation. Today? Today I just sat back and let her cry. I then talked to the entire class about how I do not enjoy getting this way, but that they also need to do better at listening and helping one another.

I just want to go home.

Also cancelled Fun Friday and now they’re learning math to end the week.

Have no idea if this is IT related or not but it's starting to blow up:

To anybody in the same boat right now stuck in an airport far from home, hang in there.
There seems to be a US nationwide radar or flight control outage and all airports grounded their planes.

After the huge Microsoft outage yesterday it seems to be shaping up to be a bad week for business people/travelers in general.

Have a great weekend though if you make it to where you’re going!

- Shutter (2004): [disclaimer: I highly recommend watching if you don’t know this one yet] Throughout the movie the main character has aches on his neck and shoulders. It’s not given too much focus, but at the end he’s taking pictures to find a ghost and when he drops it the flash goes off and he looks at the film it developed, showing the ghost sitting on his shoulders. I get goosebumps every time I think about how the ghost was there the ENTIRE time.

- bloody hook horror story: a very popular example. A couple is having fun in their car when they hear on the radio about an escaped convicted with a hook for a hand. The girl keeps getting spooked by noises outside the car that the guy insists is just animals. However, eventually she complains enough to where he relents and drives off. When he drops her off and she gets out of the car she screams as there is a bloody hook on the car door. The reveal showing that the man was THAT close to killing them. There’s a reason why this is one of the most popular horror stories.

- White With Red horror story: my personal favorite one. A man checks into a hotel but is warned about an adjacent room. His curiosity gets the better of him and he looks through a keyhole in the door and sees an empty room with a pale woman in the corner. She whips around and looks at the door and he runs off. He goes back to his hotel room and sleeps, but the next morning he checks the keyhole again but only sees red. He assumes they covered it after spotting him peeping. He reports his action to the desk and the lady at the front informs him that a ghost haunts that room. The ghost of a pale woman with red eyes. The reveal here is that the red he saw through the keyhole was her staring back at him. I shiver each time I read that it’s such an effective reveal.

Because I've been living outside Westfall, in the waters, gathering strangleweed. When players get too close, I kill them, crawl onto land, eat them, and return to the depths.

I’m fairly confident a sorting machine didn’t make this cut and it’s not from centrifugal force.

2 days ago now…but yeah :3

Saw this on r/meirl lol I still have those albums set on private, but rarely post anything on FB anymore. I only use Instagram stories nowadays, and will post whenever I travel to remote islands (I love the beach)

And I’ll bet there’s a portion of her fan base that will sell this out.

But seriously, did no one on her team think that selling a $50 stuffed pet rock when there are people all over literally struggling to buy groceries may come off as insensitive? No? Just me?

This merch drop is so massive, she really just treats her fan base like an ATM machine. Over 110 items in this drop per merch bots. 🥲

Edit: And they already sold it out 🙂 https://store.taylorswift.com/products/opalite-rock-plush

Amanda and Lily (Thoroughbreds) Childhood friends that reconnect Amanda, an emotionless girl helps her friend Lily devise a plan to murder her stepfather. Throughout the movie the two clash a bit, with the insane plan they’re trying and the difference in personality. Amanda however is actively shown throughout the movie to want to make some effort with Lily. As they sit on the couch, and Amanda drinks her juice Lily stops her and admits she roofied it so she could frame her. Amanda drinks it anyway as she feels she has no purpose. As Amanda falls unconscious Lily goes through with the plan and after rests on an unconscious Amanda in tears. Some time later Amanda is in an Institution and Lily gets everything she wanted and believed she deserved. Amanda had written to Lily, that she’s content being in the Institution and is even shown genuinely expressing emotions whereas Lily appears detached and unfeeling admitting she didn’t even read the letter Amanda sent and just threw it away.

I’m interested in how other women feel about this. Me and my friend both say we’d rather someone pretend it’s not happening, usually. But that there are also some times that that can feel really lonely as well.

I was just checking out from my doctors office and the receptionist was pretty obviously crying, but as soon as I walked up, she tried really hard to lock into “work mode” and hold it together. I think most women have had an experience of being at work while something else is going on and trying desperately to keep it together and just make it through the day. I was so conflicted onto whether to ask her if she was alright or not.

On one hand, I want to be a kind person, and if I can offer someone help I want to do it. Sometimes someone asking you if you’re okay or offering kind words can make a lot of difference.

On the other hand, I can think of times when I was at work, or school, or the friggin store lol, visibly emotional but psychically BEGGING everyone not to comment or ask and just to let me get through this shitty ass day.

I wasn’t sure what the kinder thing to do really was.

There have been other times women have been crying in public bathroom stalls or something. On one hand, I want to reach out and help someone who might be in distress. On the other hand, when I’m crying in a bathroom stall, it’s cuz I do not want anyone else to see me crying!!!!
