I mean, I guess one funny one might be coming into class and teaching the wrong thing, e.g. teaching freshmen senior-level stuff and vice versa. That might be amusing, if only to see how long it takes someone to go "What the fuck is this shit?" But, Iean, you'd still have to be careful with that.

One last thought as April Fools leaves: if you're a teacher, you should never pull a prank that has multiple people panicking about an uncorrectable zero.

I mean, frankly, if you're in a position of power, you shouldn't pull pranks, but especially not ones that abuse the power you hold.

When you're talking about Linux, it's okay to say that it's "open source".

It's okay to say that it's "free software".

It's okay to call it "GNU/Linux", "Linux", or to mess up its name.

It's okay to refer to it as "the one with the friendly penguin".

Part of RMS' legacy has been an incessant obsession with terminology and pedantry, overshadowing far more important shared objectives which are fundamentally emancipatory in nature.

Pedantry is not activism; it is alienating, not emancipatory.

'bout to take a stats test with only a basic calculator. Wish me luck.

You know, honestly, April fools peaked my third grade year when my classmates and I hatched a plan to prank a classmate by pretending to prank each other just to get him scared of being pranked, but not actually pranking him. This whole holiday should have just been called off after that. It wasn't going to get any better than that.

What better way to bring TDoV to a close than by making pizza rolls while wearing nothing but panties and a hoodie?

(I mean, pizza woulda been nice, but apparently either there are no cis folk around here or none of them have money :blobunamused:​)

**you're not an ally simply for using the name and pronouns you call our "preferred" ones, that's just the bare minimum, but you are definitely a transphobe for using a name that isn't ours to call us**

you're not an ally for just not going in an enraged panic that your friend came out as trans.

you'll be an ally when you stand up for them when they're being kicked out of their home, fired from their job, denied healthcare. when you work to make it so those things can't happen.

cis should not be considered trans allies for doing the bare minimum of not killing us, if you want to call yourself an ally then actively fight against the forces that want to commit genocide against us or shut up

Trans Day of Visibility is in two days.

I don’t want to hear about how you as a cis person relate to trans visibility. I want to hear what you’re concretely doing to stop what is quite literally genocide. twitter.com/aclu/status/137664
