yes you support disabled and mentally ill people with nasty, mean, ugly, or otherwise "bad" symptoms. but are you normal about physically chronically ill people who's physical condition directly impacts their behavior and psychiatric condition? are you normal about physically chronically ill people who literally cannot repress, hold back, or regulate aggression, mean statements, or anger/rage episodes? are you normal about physically chronically ill people who legitimately cannot regulate any strong emotion whatsoever? are you normal about physically chronically ill people who have "bad" behaviors that would be unreasonable, cruel and unfair to "punish" because it's the almost equivalent to punishing them for something like having pain? are you normal about people like us? we exist.
THIS IS ABOUT PHYSICAL, CHRONIC ILLNESS, NOT SOLELY MENTAL ILLNESS. IF WE SEE YOU DERAILING MY POST YOU WILL EXPLODE INTO A TRILLION PIECES.
Honestly, I feel ridiculous. Like, I don’t deserve this award. With everything that Barbara does for the school, and you teaching two grades, and -- and -- and Janine getting yelled at by a parent, I feel like I’m the last person who should get this.

Melissa: Yeah, you’re definitely not the best teacher in Philadelphia. Or, you know, this school. Or your grade. Or even this classroom.
Gregory: Is there a point? Like, where are we going?
Melissa: Gregory, you don’t deserve to be Educator of the Year.
Gregory: Still waiting for that point.
Melissa: But I’ve seen you stick it out and improve week after week. You work really hard to get better, and you care. So maybe someday, you’ll grow into deserving this award. But you know what? They’re not gonna give it to you then. Cause you can’t choose when people acknowledge you.]

Digital illustration, depicting Aster, a humanoid being in a suit and a starry head, with Rigel fronting, indicated by red and orange colors and symbols of the sun on the backs of his gloves and tie. He is sitting on a window of an image viewing program displaying an image of grass, which seems to be growing out from the surface of the program, a mouse cursor laying in front of him, lightly buried by the grass. The two are surrounded by a collage of other image viewers, depicting various flowers, clouds, sun, and a grassy hill. The space behind him is filled with an ethereal light, shown separately in the second image.
