Vodka & Lemonade

Back to GGC today. Some improvements from yesterday – better lunch for sure, with bloody meats and sugary drinking – but still plenty of challenge.

I got to say hi to @RandomTuesday, who I have watched make a schmancy She-Ra costume on Twitch, and talk about her build for a second. Like everyone else they are disappointed in themselves for not being more done, but I though it was real good. I also found lots of good stuff and a few ideas as I wandered around the booths.

Sat in a panel where rich white people who seemed unfamiliar with public schools talked about how Hogwarts had bad instruction practices, like the problem with Hogwarts is ineffective lecture techniques. Also a liberal arts prof who brought sex into this discussion in the first slide (with illustration), talked about being an adult teaching other adults, and later wanted to be sure we knew he didn’t think it was okay to bang his students. Fucking creeper, at the very least doing fetish at us, and maybe worse.

Lower anxiety today from Shanda. Which was great. Made the day better for both of us. Not better togetherness though. Would have loved to pineapple instead of pedagogy, for example, though I do want you to feel safer talking about teaching with me. You did good seeing B, and you did fun makeup.

There were lots of feels about your suitability as a human caregiver. Feels which are not small or new, and which you now discover only on the pain of love. We’ll keep poking those, until they’re more manageable. But I have confidence you’ll do fine. It’s a heist – we’re gonna steal you a parent – and you like doing heists with me.
