Students are back on campus starting tomorrow and I am feeling Bad.

charlotte @b00kwyrm.bsky.social · 05/08/2026

My last day of summer break (before PD, not before students, though I’m not sure it would make much of a difference) I just always feel deeply, deeply sad. And that’s what I’m feeling today. So tired and so sad.

An autistic man with a special interest in the Harry Potter series has made the decision to value the lives and dignity of his trans friends more than a book about a wizard who grows up to be a cop, sources have reported.

My baby (cat) needs seven teeth out and I am absolutely beating myself up over it. She absolutely fights against even brushing her fur and never lets anyone near her mouth. She’s blind and her whiskers are super sensitive and I think just has sensory issues in general. But ugh. Seven.

So I won a sweepstakes and now get to go to the Oregon Shakespeare festival again and picking dates is so hard but I am so excited because Ashland is not only great for theater but also amazing for gluten free food and I am ready to EAT.

Gave myself until Tuesday to make a decision about auditioning for a show I absolutely adore at the local theater. The audition is tomorrow and I still haven’t made a decision. I guess that’s a decision in itself.

Last night I finally buckled and downloaded threads when one of instagram’s recommended threads posts was from a former student’s mother who I have long known maintains a very active social media presence due to being an indie author.

Every single time I’m at the vet with Enigma or Adzuki someone struggles with their name or asks me how to say it (never an issue with Aurora). Both of them are pretty straightforward to sound out so it gets me every time and is a reminder that phonics education was not just spotty in the young.

Cruising has a weird sort of guilt where you feel like you’re cheating on your main waiter when you go a specialty restaurant just because you aren’t a fan of the main menu that night. Like I promise it isn’t you, thank you for being the absolute best with my dietary restrictions.

Brain on a loop over the fact that I didn’t get the dishes done this morning and therefore am behind and since I don’t get home early today I may not catch up. When I didn’t get them done bc I had to clean up a spill. Doesn’t matter. Failed this morning.

Over a decade ago, the grandfather I grew up with, who was one of my favorite people on the whole planet, died suddenly a few days before my 19th birthday. I was in the middle of Winco, buying food for college. My mom made me finish the shop. The next day I drove down for sophomore year.

I feel awful. My mom calls and tells me my grandma (her mom) has days, maybe a week left. And I just feel numb. I haven’t seen her in over a decade (she lives across the country) and she always forgets my birthday and I should feel more. But how do you process losing someone barely in your life?

On this day in 1933, Nazis raided the Magnus Hirschfeld library in Berlin. The world’s greatest collection of LGBTQ books and scientific papers were looted and later burned, erasing decades of research into sexuality and gender identity. ‘Where they burn books, in the end they will burn humans too’.

Spring cleaning mood got me so antsy. Like all I can think about is wanting to replace the desk that we can’t ever make functional with seating that can also be used for guests (like a daybed?) and has storage/the ability to store things under it and also having a small veggie and herb garden.

Got an incorrect birthday email for my oldest cat since for some reason the vet has her birthday listed as my middle cat’s birthday and just thinking back on the mortifying time when the vet asked about her behavior and if she’s been acting upset and I responded “well, she’s a Gemini.”

"The color is repellent, almost revolting; a smouldering unclean yellow, strangely faded by the slow-turning sunlight." I made a "Yellow Wallpaper" piece back in 2017, but I re-read the story over the weekend and wanted to try again. Much happier with this version 🖤

illustration inspired by Charlotte Perkins-Gilman's 1891 short story "The Yellow Wallpaper" depicting a woman touching sickly yellow torn wallpaper on a wall while shadowy hands reach toward her. There is another tall shadow of a figure on the wall and both figures look toward the viewer.

In case anyone didn’t believe in the literacy crisis among the kids, my eighth graders loudly complained about being given a six page story and it took many of them about an hour and a half to read it. And then lots of them said they didn’t get very basic things in the story. And I’m so tired.

It’s honestly shocking how often I am just casually reading and then people eating gluten free catches a stray with some snarky comment in the narrative. If I wasn’t already invested, this celiac would dnf because WHY do we need to make fun of what people eat???

Cutting nearly 50 kids from the musical, some of them students I absolutely adore as people, makes my heart hurt. I should feel relieved to be done. Instead I’m just thinking of how they are going to feel and hating myself a little.

I want to stay home so badly bc I was at work until 6:30 for auditions last night… But I keep reminding myself it’s only four more days and I don’t want to write sub plans. But oh my god I don’t want to have to go to work and then rush home to take my cat to the vet. I want to relax!!!

I have convinced myself that if I had a boox palma I would read way more than doom scroll bc I could just carry it around everywhere. I’ve also convinced myself that if I got the color one, I’d finally actually catch up on my webtoons. Probably neither of these are true but still.

The canned curriculum we are required to implement just emailed me about their new AI tools. I’m serious that in the next couple years, we will be forced to use and teach with AI or they’ll threaten our jobs. They want to be able to replace us. And the kids will be the victims.

Arguing with my cat like I know, how dare I care about your health enough to take you to regular vet visits. Do you know how much these vet visits cost me? It would be so much cheaper to not care about your health. But I do. And instead of thanking me, you hiss and growl at me. Because how dare I.
