He was aware enough of this to get off on trolling the class, though.  Whenever some force diagram in a homework assignment needed to be weightless, instead of being some generic spacecraft it would be “Mir” specifically.  And he’d always use ‘cosmonaut’ instead of ‘astronaut’, that kind of thing.

One day about halfway through the semester, he’s doing this with in-class examples on the board, and one of the students finally gets up the guts to troll back a little.  So this kid shouts from the back of the auditorium, “Hey professor, what’s the difference between a cosmonaut and an astronaut?”

Y’all, it’s been a real struggle for your Black girl. I’ve been bawling my eyes out trying to find work, especially after going through interviews and then finding out they chose someone else. It’s been heartbreaking and frustrating, but I’m still trying to keep going and find something. Im raising $2,500 in survival funds for September and October to help cover rent, which is due on the 3rd of each month, food/hygiene, phone service, and my car payment. I really don’t want to risk having my car repossessed, especially because I’ll need it to get to work once I’m employed. September is also my birthday, and honestly, I’m just hoping to make it through these next couple of months. The world feels like such a scary place right now. I’m hoping to have a job by October and get back on my feet. Once I’m in a better position, I want to give back to the community and help others who are struggling too. I’m really hoping this is the last mutual aid post I have to make.
