TeaForTina @teafortina.bsky.social · 16/10/2026Also the stress of a strike is very real. I don't know if it's because of my field (academia/education), or neurodiversity, or if everyone is as uncomfortable doing it as I am, but it sucks. I'd rather just be teaching, but companies gotta be stupid. 010 1
TeaForTina @teafortina.bsky.social · 16/10/2026Striking and being disallowed from doing any work has helped me realize just how much I a working. Unable to do things I thought I was doing for myself that are actually considered work. 110 1

TeaForTina @teafortina.bsky.social · 29/09/2026I woke up thinking "hey I don't think I hear rain!" but it was just less rain than it has been for the past month. Anyway, haha, everything is fine, I love a rainy day. Or month. Season. 111 1

TeaForTina @teafortina.bsky.social · 01/09/2026I referenced the turn of the century and a friend 12 years younger misunderstood (but honestly why would you say turn of the century for the 2000s when you could say turn of the millennium?) 010 1
TeaForTina @teafortina.bsky.social · 23/08/2026Omg finally at the point in writing where I'm enjoying it. Let's hope this lasts just a few more hours. Home stretch. 020 2
TeaForTina @teafortina.bsky.social · 19/08/2026University here is similar but like, leveled up I guess. I have to teach freshmen that they can literally just go to the bathroom without permission and not come to class if they don't feel well. This is my first year without any freshmen and it feels like something's missing, lol 110 1

TeaForTina @teafortina.bsky.social · 17/08/2026The dentist stresses me out and I've been practicing calculating standard deviation lately so today at the dentist I did standard deviation problems in my head (poorly and likely incorrectly) and I think I kinda understand the benefit of math now 100 1

TeaForTina @teafortina.bsky.social · 13/08/2026I spent the first week of my summer break rereading all the Pratchett Ank Morpork city watch books and now I'm doing heavy theory reading for a book chapter I'm writing. I've decided Vimes is a man who never reads theory but instinctively understands it and I envy him. 110 1
TeaForTina @teafortina.bsky.social · 11/08/2026But it's absolutely beautiful and although I didn't grow up in a place like Alvin Straight, most of my family did and I spent a lot of time in small towns and corn fields 020 2
