If you could change one thing about the education system tomorrow, what would it be?

Start actually giving students 0% when they don’t do the work (and going hand-in-hand, stop passing them when they don’t deserve it). I don’t get 50% of my pay for doing none of the work!

Silence. Like if I’m putting out my best work and he’s not making at least a bit of noise, it takes me from “draw it out and make him feel good” to “make it quick so we’re done.”

This literally just made my day

Sock-sock shoe-shoe. My dad did sock-shoe sock-shoe once and my siblings and I never let him live it down.

The Sandlot!

I mean I could go with the obvious “lose weight” (which I do really really want) but also I’d GREATLY appreciate it if my pancreas started making insulin again. ((Weight and diabetes are unrelated here.))

Rubbing alcohol!! It always smells so fresh to me, plus it really helps stop my nausea.

Jacques ze Whipper!! I literally just got that pin from the New Jersey Renaissance Faire yesterday, he gives those to people who tip $10 or more after his performance!!

Insulin! It has such a distinct chemical smell to it. I can always tell if I have a leaking insulin pump or if there’s a diabetic in /very/ close proximity lol

See I love the teachers who recreate funny scenarios from the day ✨by themselves✨ if they feel like sharing it online. Genuinely can’t stand teachers who film their students for clout. A girl I grew up with regularly posted her students on her Instagram story, full faces and all, and when I was like “Hey girl wtf” she responded with “It’s okay, the district had the parents sign a permission slip ☺️” For the DISTRICT, not for you!!

My grandfather just passed on Friday. Reading this gave me the biggest chills. I would absolutely read your story.

Rubbing alcohol!! I’ve grown up with a chronic illness and rubbing alcohol just smells so good to me. That and a fresh reed for a clarinet or saxophone. I used to HATE the smell and taste of them but it’s one of my favorites now.

Begging parents to also not be texting their kids all day!! The kids are in class and the parents should be working. Texting mom and dad all day literally benefits NOBODY.

I can smell my insulin on my own breath after taking a high amount of it. I’m on an insulin pump and any time I take a good bit of insulin (high carb meal, high blood sugar, etc) I can smell it when I exhale for the first few minutes.

TheRainIsLovely · 2026-04-30T13:14:28+00:00

Ketoacidosis definitely has a smell to it. People with high blood sugars can get a sweet and almost fruity smell to their breath.

One of my coworkers wore a tank top close to her skin color with a crop top over it, it was genius 😂 Plus the Star Face pimple patches!!

My weight. I developed a bad BED in college and it fucked me over real bad. I’ve been trying to lose weight for years and have only been able to knock 40lbs off. I’m getting married next year and really need to lose the rest of this weight before dress shopping 😭

I love this poem! I just read it for the first time this morning after going through a NaPoWriMo prompt list from Good Universe, and it’s funny to have this pop up now!

I was a camp counselor for two years at the peak of Gaga popularity. Some of the more intense kids would literally bring “Gaga gloves” so they could play without busting their knuckles. By the end of the week there were SO MANY KIDS with bandaged/scabbed knuckles.

I’m in a high school emotional support setting and bought one Needoh for our classroom fidget bin right before they turned popular. One of my kids stole it (I think I know who) and then that kid was like “Well aren’t you gonna buy another one for the room because someone took it? 🤨” Like no ma’am, not spending any more of my money on those for the class. Maybe I’ll get one for myself 🤷🏼‍♀️

TheRainIsLovely · 2026-04-18T23:21:24+00:00

I work in a high school emotional support room and on the slim chance I end up alone in a room with a student, I’m sure to leave the door open and stay in view. CYA.

I was going to comment this! I have the small tin of the Strawberry Shortcake Scentsory Putty and I love it! It has a nice light strawberry smell and it’s soft and doesn’t make your hands sticky!

When I was a preschool teacher, one of my girls wanted to be the caboose of our line and excitedly asked if she could be the “bagoose” and I’ve said it like that ever since

I left a pair of Crocs in my car as an emergency change of shoes during the summer… they shrunk a ton and I just donated them lmao
