So I ended up with free time at the end of my first class today, so I was like "do yall wanna see a vintage meme?" and turned on "what does the fox say". Expected like. A laugh from the kids, or even just a "wtf is this mx?" which is. A reasonable reaction to What Does The Fox Say.

But instead of a reasonable reaction. all of my students watched the first 60 seconds with jaws agape. And then this one kids turns to me like the fucking eye of Sauron and literally goes:

My husband told me I also should share the next part of this story, where I, feebly trying to defend my honor against a child, said, "No, this video was just big when I was in college!" and he scoffed, rolled his eyes, and absolutely obliterated me by saying, "So did you go to furry college?"

Hi there guys! I hate to do this again, but I've been sick consistently for the last week (body chills, fever, headaches, nausea, stuffiness, sore throat, coughing, sneezing, etc) and even though I've tested negative twice for covid, this cold is still not backing down. I'm only just well enough now to make a few posts and wondered if I could get some financial help since I'm the only one working in my disabled household and my last paycheck was particularly bad (I took some time off because I was sexually harassed at work :x) My goal is 500! and I am thankful for any boosts, even a dollar is helpful! <3 thank you so much for your time guys,

Hey gang, it's your local disabled trans blogger. Things haven't been going well for me lately, my health's been really bad, I'm broke af and life's been hitting me hard. If i could just get a little money to help with bus fare and cover some basic needs I'd really appreciate it. Anything helps.

V*nmo: madcap-x

i seriously need help right now, my situation is getting worse. I don't even know how I'm going to pay for even small basic expenses like transportation right now let alone the big stuff that keeps piling up

the entire point of jobs is that some people aren't supposed to have them. if you need one to stay alive but you aren't guaranteed one because getting one is winning a competition, and you aren't guaranteed assistance if you can't get one, then the entire point is that some people are supposed to be unemployed. it's a system that accepts some people are going to die
