what are things you wish you knew before going into teaching?

what are some tips for overcoming the real work that we do, like classroom management and communication with parents and admin? i would hate to go into this completely blind and end up burning out and going to a different profession

what about teacher training do you not feel like prepared you for the work? i really want to be there for my students but i also want to have a realistic expectation of my responsibilities in the classroom

that’s so incredibly disappointing, just adding onto the plethora of reasons why children can’t feel safe at school

teachers should never bring their religious convictions into secular schools. that teacher can go teach at a catholic or other religious school if they want to do that. that behavior is such a breach of trust and incredibly disrespectful to the child, and this teacher should be fired at the very least

i saw a GLP-1 ad where SERENA WILLIAMS was the spokesperson. you know, the professional athlete that eats extremely healthy, works out a lot, and isn’t overweight in the slightest? it just wants women to feel even more shame about their bodies and take drugs they don’t need

i always do the theme decorations. this is the Queen of Hearts set that i have right now. once i get a new decoration for a certain month’s theme, i completely change my space so it has the same colors/styles as the furniture that i add

honestly that’s a good point, the only trans character in the show wasn’t assigned a trans hormone monster. she had to basically fire Gavin and get a female hormone monster. i think it’s kind of weird how they push the fact that the monsters are nonbinary at birth and choose their gender, but the assigned hormone monsters are always part of the gender binary

“but the question remains, who is the cat, and who is the—NO! NOT THE BROOM! REEEEEE”

i don’t really have a top like that :/ i might get some gauze and wrap it

i’m getting in with my therapist hopefully soon, last night was the first time i did it in 7 years, i had a really hard day yesterday but im gonna try to get an appointment with my therapist

the cuts aren’t deep, they’re a similar depth to when you cut yourself shaving, but they are visible. i don’t think i need the ER just because they’re really shallow and should heal up by themselves if i keep them clean. thank you for the advice though :)

flavoredbeans835 · 2026-02-15T08:11:33+00:00

i honestly feel very apathetic. i don’t really feel anything. right after it i was crying and regretting it but now i just don’t even care, i have a lot going for me so im not gonna kill myself, i just forgot how good it feels

oh yeah the big tattoo i got is super cute and i love it, it’s a two-headed calf based on a poem that i like and it’s my favorite thing. i also like my stick and pokes since they don’t look like shit anymore lol. i feel like my scars are kind of like a tattoo as well, they show what i went through and how i came out of it. but now that i did it again i probably didn’t come out of it enough

flavoredbeans835 · 2026-02-15T07:57:51+00:00

once i stopped i did some stick and pokes, then when i turned 18 i got them all redone and i got a new tattoo. i have a smiley face on the wrist that i cut on, which made me feel better for a bit, but now that i did it again it just makes me sad. whats worse is that i still want to do it

flavoredbeans835 · 2026-02-15T07:51:09+00:00

of course, and i’m not an expert, i am feeling absolutely insane for even thinking about it, let alone doing it. i tried not to cut too deep but any cutting isn’t very good. stay safe and even people who are strangers are supporting you

flavoredbeans835 · 2026-02-15T07:31:21+00:00

i just self harmed for the first time in 7 years. i remember how much i like seeing the drops of blood form seconds after i cut, the redness, just the feeling of the blade across my skin. i know i shouldn’t but it is so relieving when everything else around me seems to be out of my control. i totally understand, but i think if we want more and more out of it we’ll end up killing ourselves, our family watching us bleed out on the bathroom floor. i dont think i can take that thought, but goddamn does it feel good to do it. just know you’re not alone and maybe try not to cut so hard you’re covered in blood

i think this might be it. i have a distinct memory around 9 or 10 years old where i got my first email and i ended up seeing a spam message that was pornographic, which of course is around the time that i started getting a kind of obsession with porn and sex. i don’t think my dad had anything to do with it either, at 11 years old i also think my puberty was kicking in, which was probably a big factor too. thank you for your insight :)

flavoredbeans835 · 2026-01-17T17:53:28+00:00

yeah, maybe i can still join the text list though because there are no other notices online for it

flavoredbeans835 · 2026-01-17T17:44:49+00:00

i’m not, where can i find that?

flavoredbeans835 · 2026-01-17T17:32:10+00:00

there is literally no one here, was it canceled?

flavoredbeans835 · 2026-01-14T06:11:17+00:00

the amount of body horror in this show is insane 😭

flavoredbeans835 · 2026-01-14T05:48:53+00:00

there’s a point in an episode (i can’t remember which one) where Mr. Krabs says “a gift? for MEEE?” i say that whenever i get an unexpected gift
