I am super ready to move on from this terrible platform, I am going to see if I can get myself to delete the app, if you want to follow me on ANOTHER terrible social media platform I am the funniest person I know on twitter at @amandamberth
can’t wait until i have a wife so i can say “i love my wife” and introduce her to people by saying “i’d like you to meet my wife” and get out of boring social engagements by saying “i have to go home to my wife” and talk about her to anyone who will listen to me because she’s my wife and i adore her
and how could i possibly forget, show my appreciation of her achievements by pointing wildly and shouting “THAT’S MY WIFE!!!” before running over to hug and kiss her and tell her how wonderful she is and how much i love her
damn all you have to do is say “wife” and it’s like an incantation for summoning every wlw on this site
I have another situation at work that’s gotten pretty bad, this time with a coworker, and I just stopped going to therapy for the first time in 3.5 years and so am lacking someone who will listen to every stupid detail, and may I just say 😰😰😰
Um I think I have some trauma-y stuff around the possibility of being out to students b/c I made the decision to come out to an 11-year-old this morning and I’ve been a damn mess since hahaha good times
So everybody remember the whole “kid tells her mom I put my hands on her, parents try to get me fired” situation?
I mentioned the child to another child, who then said to me, “Didn’t she try to frame you for putting your hands on her? And everybody saw that you didn’t do it and they were all gonna defend you?”
And I am feeling Some Kinda Way about 1) the fact that it was discussed as her “framing” me when I thought she was in good faith feeling like I acted aggressively towards her (and beat myself up accordingly), 2) the fact that the whole school evidently knew about it when I thought it was relatively private, and 3) the fact that the rest of the class, who I was convinced were intentionally making my life miserable for many months because I had gotten off on a bad foot with them, planned to “defend” me.
hot take pride and prejudice isn’t a story about two people who hate each other getting married despite their hate. pride and prejudice is a story about a rich, privileged guy getting called on his privilege and toxic masculinity by the woman he admires and then actually listening to her, taking steps to correct his own toxic masculine behavior, and using his wealth and privilege to rectify the “missing stair” problem he caused by allowing a predator to operate unchecked in his community. he specifically takes action, pays money, and does work without asking for credit or using it to point-score, because he realizes that his job as a privileged person is to protect vulnerable people, especially women. and THAT is what changes his crush’s mind about him, because he does the work and becomes a person she can respect, love, and be proud of. thanks for coming to my TED talk
As someone who has never played Dragon Age and knows nothing about it, the posts about Dragon Age 4 going across my dash seem to be saying that it’s a dating sim in which Humpty Dumpty tries to destroy the world.
Hi I am Amanda I am a 30-something white queer cis lady (she/her/hers).I like books, cats, and feminist/anti-racist/anti-homophobic (etc, etc) rants. You will find things related to those things here.
I should probably warn you that this is my space wherein I interact with my friends and peers unreservedly and so if you think the kind of language, topics of discussion, etc that might arise from that might make you uncomfortable (let's say you're related to me or my student or something idk) it might be in your best interest to close this tab. I am angry and sarcastic and inappropriate sometimes in this space. If, on the other hand, you find that my following you feels uncomfortable or inappropriate for some reason, you are, similarly, free to request that I leave.
