In A Truck Stop Bathroom Washing My Hands Today And 2 Boys, Looked About 5 And 9, Came In With Their

There was a phrase that I used in my classroom when my students would ask me about doing questionable things, and my response was always, "Technically you can, but should you?"

The reason I used this instead of a simple yes or no answer is because it opened up conversation. Instead of blindly looking for permission, the conversation became more about cause and effect. Usually it navigated the "well you can't tell me what to do I'm going to do it anyway" instinct in kids when I'd say no, because all they were looking for is something to challenge them.

For example: "Can I jump off the slide?"

"Technically you can, but should you?"

If they answer no, I'd ask why. Usually they'd say because it's against the rules or I don't know.

If they say it's against the rules, I'd ask them why they think it's a rule. And if they'd say I don't know, I'd explain that the slide is five feet off of the ground, and jumping that high is a good way to hurt your knees or worse.

And then the most important part: if you did do it, how can you make it safer?

That's when the creativity juices started to flow. I'd get anything from pillows to beds to bouncy shoes to wings to someone catching them (which became a whole different conversation). And I told them since we didn't have those things here, it wasn't safe. And safety is everyone's number one job at school.

It stopped them from doing it behind my back. It got them to engage in critical thinking. And it helped them figure out how to do things without help.

However, there's always been an itching thought in the back of my head. Somewhere out there, did one of my past students drag their mattress out to the slide and jump off of it?

I literally love this.

I couldn't stop laughing for 20 minutes.

No joke.

your heart is a muscle the size of a rat

Honestly, this is both depressing and really heartwarming. One thing I hate most about our society currently is how they convince people that their only worth is in working, and if they can't, they're useless. Like imagine thinking humans only purpose is to basically just be a fucking robot. Man, just make a fuckjng robot then! Don't give me that bullshit. (Not talking to you, btw)

Demons and monsters that torture people because they feed on human suffering are so dumb. People are suffering everywhere my guy go literally any place and take a deep whiff.

Dead On Main DPxDC Fic Recs

I enjoy reading a Dead On Main fic every once in a while, so I decided to make a fic rec list for some of them! They are in no particular order. I did not rec any of my own fics.

[A Deal with the Ghost King] by JaxinKH

Jason unintentionally makes deals with Danny, the ghost king. Mainly for dates. Very funny!

2.[Rooftop Express] by EmeraldsAndAmethyst

Watch that rating! This is an M one, folks. Honestly, Danny is just chaos incarnate and watching him and Jason slowly fall for each other is a ton of fun.

3. [I Don't? Work Alone] by DomesticatedOpossum

Phantom starts working for the criminal Red Hood, taking out the small guys while Hood takes out the big fish. Dialogue is great, there are some wonderfully funny moments and some good mystery in there. It deals with the messiness of family and trauma really well.

4. [Like Betta Fish Do] by PaperPuffing

It's a mistake anyone could make right? Trespassing into someone else's haunt. Well they meet, and spar, and then are just cuties together <3

5. [I Am A Retired Hero and My Love Interest Is a Former Crime Lord?!] by Shy Crow

Danny accidentally kills the Joker, and Jason just immediately gets a crush. It's fun, has a unique premise, and I'm really enjoying it so far!

6. [Danny Fenton: Dead and Loving It] by HyperKid

Another M rated one!

Massively long fic, but oh so good! The humor in this is great and I really like what I've read so far.

7. [Love is an Open Door (You are the door)] by violetmoreviolent

Jason just insta falls in love and is an adorable mess XD Premise is A ++ too, with Jason being a portal Danny can come thorugh.

8. [Wait For It] by DisillusionedDanny

Danny met Jason and Damian in the League. Jason tries to win his ex-boyfriend back. It's a lovely fic that deals with confronting and owning up to your own mistakes.

9. [Can I Kiss You?] by Petite_Phthora

Jason is smitten Danny after he accidentally killed the Joker.

10. [Reverence] by Halfagone

This is rated M, so be cautious and do read the warnings! Soulmate AU! Pretty damn cute and a little heated! Very lovely fic <3

Oh man! I'm keeping this forever I live this so much XD

Ozai is so pathetic, like that “take his bending away haha he’s harmless now” trick would never have worked on Zuko, if you took his bending away he’d just grab his swords and come at you twice as hard, Azula doesn’t have swords or anything but she’s pretty good at hand to hand and amazing at talking her way out of problems, Iroh bust himself out of prison with no bending at all, meanwhile Ozai? Gets his bending taken away and then just collapses, doesn’t even try anymore, then just sits in prison and tries to get into Zuko’s head some more, he could have trained up and tried to break out too! But no! Bet he can’t break steel bars with his bare hands. Bet he can’t kick a steel lever in two. Bet he can’t even do a flip.

Also we never really see him do any really impressive firebending apart from when he has magic comet power, I guesss he shoots some lightning at Zuko, but that’s it and Azula is still better at the lightning thing. Azula has blue flames. Zuko can do firebreakdancing and bend with his swords. Does Ozai, who is not 14 years old, have blue flames? No he doesn’t.

He didn’t even do his coup himself, Ursa had to kill Azulon for him! Could have just challenged Iroh to an Agni Kai for the throne but he didn’t bc he knew he’d lose.

And then he only ruled for like 6 years! He lost a war that had been going on for 100 years bc of a bunch of kids.

Loserlord indeed

I used to wish I get injured because then my mom and dad would finally pay attention to me if I did, newsflash they wouldn't have

Me: You know how when you were a kid and you’d wish that you’d get sick or injured in a way that would justify why you didn’t live up to your potential?

Everybody, apparently: No?
