Hey Um Atum

I'm an LA teacher in my mid-20's stationed in rural Alaska. My students call me Hey Um, usually followed by "Atum!" which means "look" in Yu'pik.
I depend on tumblr for supplemental friendship while I'm out in the bush. I post about Doctor Who, HP, my uterus, education, feminism, my husband, and my dogs. You should run away now.

I spent the last two weeks sans internet. At first, I was not okay. But then, it got sunny outside! Thought I’d check in with you all because I talk to you more than I talk to my own parents, and they would want a phone call if I was gone that long.

The thing about capitalism is that there’s always a loser. And you can avoid being a loser by being the biggest, shittiest cheater on the planet who is willing to basically shit on everyone else to get what you want. So the people who actually deserve to win rarely get the chance to because they’re not willing to be assholes to get it. 

And that’s why capitalism sucks for everyone who’s not a big ol’ douchewaffle.

Inappropriate class pass-around stories

“Once upon a time

There was a haunted merry-go-round.

Chanel got on it

And couldn’t get off

So Angie had to call her mom

And her mom called the cops

And the cops got it stopped

But Chanel fell off and broke her head

And Ang yelled “OMG OMG nigga down nigga down”

And then they all got killed by ghosts.”

Did you know the Easter Island heads have bodies?

Yup it’s true.  And some are as tall as 10 meters (33ft)! The Moai have overly large heads (3/5 the size of their bodies), and because of photographs taken in the 50’s of the slopes of Rano Raraku (where the statues are buried to their shoulders) many (including me) are lead to believe that they are only heads!

Check out the Easter Island Statue Project (http://www.eisp.org/) for more info on the excavation, Easter Island history, and more pictures!

Wow!

wth? this is new.

This is part of the email everyone got from the district. This is a new pet policy, and everyone is pissed about it. They claim to be “pet friendly” but this is shit. 

Are you traveling with pets? If so you must contact[redacted pet boarding home] to make arrangements by mid-July to insure available space. They charge $35.00 per day although there may have been a price change so you will need to confirm with them. Otherwise you will be charged $100.00 per pet per day to house at the District Office and you will be responsible for all ‘mess’ that is made by your pet. 

We’re staying in town for 5 days. We have two dogs. This will be a $1000 expense for us, because we hate the lady that runs the only pet boarding facility. She does it as a second job and the dogs always come back dirty and smelling like urine. How is this new policy pet friendly?
