“Any last words, my wiggly little friend?”

The worm looked up defiantly, and with all the contempt it could muster, croaked, “Fuck you, early bird.”

“Fair enough,” came the response, and then the worm’s world went black.

YOU SIMPLY CANNOT ALLOW THE TROLL TO EMERGE FROM UNDER HIS BRIDGE

Spicy take: While I get that ADHD is a spectrum, I absolutely reject the notion of "everyone is a little bit ADHD".

For FUCKS sake, don't conflate occasional forgetfulness with my mental disability.

Because for all the hearts and rainbows about how ADHD is a superpower, in trying to operate in this neurotypical world, having your brain operate differently to the point that you traumatize yourself trying to mask and fit in well enough IS a mental disability.

they always say "family friendly" like queer people and sex workers don't have families. if you don't mean ALL families then maybe specify WHICH ONES so that we know right away what to do with your trash opinions

@halfwitamerican I wanted to be a teacher because the only women I knew who were nice to me were my teachers.

the real USA was the violence we made along the way

So. To renew a tradition from my academic days, a reminder that it is the anniversary of when Thoreau went to Walden Pond in 1845. So I put a question he asked before anyone reading this "Will you be a reader, a student merely, or a seer?"

The heat must be getting to me. I thought about that song by the band Foreigner called "Hot Blooded" and realized that they used Fahrenheit instead of Celsius:

"I'm hot blooded.
Check it and see.
I got a fever of a hundred and three."

I did some math and wondered why they didn't try to rhyme 39.44 Celsius instead. (snort)

According to Internet sources: "The UK Meteorological Office officially switched from Fahrenheit to Celsius (then known as Centigrade) on 15 October 1962. While Celsius became the primary unit for weather forecasting at that time, Fahrenheit was retained as a secondary measure for several years, with the BBC eventually dropping it in the 1970s and 80s."

The song came out in 1978. So, perhaps the British and USAmerican band mates were all agreed that the rhyme scheme was better with 103 than 39.44. I imagine it was a close call and that there were many heated arguments about it with the British band members intent on fully switching to Celsius but the American band members remaining inflexible and reliant on Fahrenheit. So glad I figured that out. 😂

Of course, to be outside in this heat, I have to be hanging out by "the pool" 😂

@halfwitamerican At 8, I was torn between being Miss America or being a prostitute. Of course, Miss America is not a career (stupid kid). I did realize that my employer was paying me to use my body, though, so I kind of made the prostitute dream come true.

I also have posed nude, acted, and danced on stage in costume. Wow, what a career. Eight-year-old me would have been proud.

The first career I wanted was "comedienne." I wanted to make people laugh. I became a teacher who makes the subject matter funny. I think it counts 😂

@halfwitamerican

From the age of 5, my answer was "a scientist." I didn't, at that point, really understand that there were different kinds of scientists, or have a clear picture of exactly what they do. But I knew that they were the ones who got satisfying answers, and that's what I wanted to do.

I'm livin' the dream.

Today I said "I wish more people asked questions." I hope people (at least on Beige) will answer. I ask this of everyone I meet: when you were little, what did you want to be when you grew up?
