Just used solfège for the first time after learning it ten years ago. In my entire trying to do music career I don't know why it never occurred to me to just. Like use that to learn how to sight read.

Help it's a lovely fall day and I'm yearning to read something short and sweet and unbearably fluffy with someone doting on the reader. And I know that there are Lullabies that are exactly what I'm looking for because I spent like so years writing daily/weekly ficlets that are exactly that shit.
But rereading the lullabies still makes me feel stupid and guilty and ashamed.
But I don't have the mental space to read/reread someone else's fic because I didn't write it so idk what's coming next.
Brains are stupid.

I found out yesterday Plenty of Fish is not a Christian dating site?? My fiance stopped me and asked what I was talking about.
Me "Because the fish are Christians. It's a play on words..."
Me "Jesus made"
My fiance "There's"
(Both us us simulataniously) "Plenty of fish in the sea"
Her "...What?"
Me "I.... Jesus made.. plenty of fish.. in the sea? And the fish are Christians?"
Her "...."
I know the phrase I just thought they went with fish because I they're a Christian dating site. Like people who put Jesus fish on their cars?

there's something so poetic about coyote vs acme being the thing that causes wb's 'the producers' ass scheme of shitcanning movies for tax breaks to blow up in their face and cause them to turn to the camera, blink twice, and dissolve into a little pile of ash that their eyes fall down into with a little bounce

Anyway. Bi and Mspec Lesbians aren't a hotly "debated" topic or even new to queer culture, it's just the newest thing that bullies who REALLY want to be homophobic and even racist use to justify harassing gay people they don't like.
It's the thinnest possible veneer of progressive language wrapped around TERF and reactionary rhetoric so that they can feel righteous for forming an angry mob against vulnerable targets. If you're gullible enough to fall for the newest wave of bigotry within the queer community, and turn on your allies because they're "confusing" or "invading your spaces," the SAME way they turned on bi/pan labels, trans people, xenogenders, neopronouns, and aroace people before this, then get lost.

one of the things about being an educator is that you hear what parents want their kids to be able to do a lot. they want their kid to be an astronaut or a ballerina or a politician. they want them to get off that damn phone. be better about socializing. stop spending so much time indoors. learn to control their own temper. to just "fucking listen", which means to be obedient.
one of the things i learned in my pedagogy classes is that it's almost always easier to roleplay how you want someone to act. it's almost always easier to explain why a rule exists, rather than simply setting the rule and demanding adherence.
i want my kids to be kind. i want them to ask me what book they should read next, and i want to read that book with them so we can discuss it. i want my kid to be able to tell me hey that hurt my feelings without worrying i'll punish them. i want my kid to be proud of small things and come running up to me to tell me about them. i want them to say "nah, i get why this rule exists, but i get to hate it" and know that i don't need them to be grateful-for-the-roof-overhead while washing the dishes. i want them to teach me things. i want them to say - this isn't safe. i'm calling my mom and getting out of this. i want them to hear me apologize when i do fuck up; and i want them to want to come home.
the other day a parent was telling me she didn't understand why her kid "just got so angry." this woman had flown off the handle at me.
my dad - traditional catholic that he is - resents my sentiment of "gentle parenting". he says they'll grow up spoiled, horrible, pretentious. granola, he spits.
i am going to be kind to them. i am going to set the example, i think. and whatever they choose become in the meantime - i'm going to love them for it.
