was it like a canon middle school event to have a fat fuckin crush on either ralph macchio, matt dillon or rob lowe after watching the outsiders movie or was that just my grade

Greetings Tumblr!

Quick question.

Just out of curiosity, how would you go about trying to figure out what the fuck this says?

my seniors have been so quiet all year and it’s been fine cause we’ve had a lot of writing/research to do but I need them to talk to me now so i was hit by a bolt of inspiration two days ago and I made them all tell me their comfort level with sharing aloud, rating themselves on a scale of 1-10. I then averaged the class score and they’re a 4.5. I then told them yesterday we needed to raise the score the tiniest bit. And the 1’s and 2’s didn’t need to be 10’s just maybe 3’s and 4’s. And they tried! They talked more 😭

you know one of the most ridiculous things when learning english? you learn words like hear, dear, year, ear, near, and bear. can you see the frustrating one? why is it like that?

and after that it just keeps going…

i love skeleton crew and assassination classroom for treating schoolwork with the same amount of urgency as battle to the death. like yes when i was 13-15 my math tests did in fact make me feel like i was in the middle of a fight where my opponet had a machine gun and all i had was a knife. and yes my ACT did in fact feel as urgent as being stranded in space with no help other than a half senile robot and a morally gray pirate. such is life as an early teenager.

it sucks to have auditory processing issues when trying to communicate in your second language bc you will be doing just fine with most people and then you meet someone with a heavier or unfamiliar accent or who doesn't enunciate as clearly and you're cooked

i'm taking business 101 this term bc it was an easy social science credit, and the professor always takes a 5 minute break halfway through his lecture-

i've been to two lectures now and for those breaks he played good luck babe and cabinet man respectively. he's a 50 something retired harvard business graduate, where is he getting these songs

Love it how ass class said "if you try to teach your kids by shouting at them the only thing they'll learn is how to try and predict you so you don't shout at them" and literally everything else they said in there. Gold show.

My first theatre show has happened today. I actually think we did pretty good! Especially for a show with 3 different grades and different acting levels!

based on the broken doll face art trend!! I've been wanting to draw it for a while but didn't have any clue on who to draw it in but since a few weeks ago I've been very dysphoric and was down abt my appearance, I decided to cope by drawing shizuha going through it too TT

I think it's obv how personal shizuha being transmasc is to me, but I think this drawing showcase it the most. Depicting both my happiness when it comes to being transmasc and also how dysphoria feels through shizuha is very important to me <3

Idea for a horror video game: you are playing as a nonspeaking autistic child in an ABA/compliance based classroom. You can see the ghosts haunting the school and are trying to tell the teachers but the teachers are more focused on your 'defiance' and are constantly shutting down every attempt at communication you make.

This would include segments of trying to navigate an AAC device to tell them what's going on (but specifically with no written words on the basis that the child cannot/has not been taught to read and must rely on often abstract or difficult to interpret pictures and colors), the need to stim on a regular basis which draws negative attention from the teachers, dyspraxia which reverse the controls for movement on an irregular basis, not being able to stim leading to overstimulation (illustrated by the sounds and lights in the room growing brighter and louder and more distorted) and with a meltdown causing the ghosts to grow more powerful....

Setting the game in a classroom allows for many of the tasks to be simple enough to let the challenge really be focused on the communication more than anything else while still creating goals and tasks that illustrate how complex even simple tasks can be with certain disabilities as well as bringing more attention to the effort that goes into learning to use an AAC device.

The idea is not that the autistic child should be pitied or needs to be protected but rather that they are trying to protect other people but are being shut down by neurotypical expectations of expression and communication rather than their own tries being respected.

The game would be called Quiet Hands.
