Gauthic Times #89 News & Other Stuff from Bill Gauthier, or Alright, Alright, Wake Me Up
Hello, friends. This was a week where things happened. What things? Nothing of consequence to you, friends. Just a long, regular week of teaching in a vocational-technical high school in the 21st century where everything has gone completely bugfuck. I may write a little about it below. Anyway, let’s get into things. Welcome to the…

Gauthic Times #70 News & Other Stuff from Bill Gauthier, or The Double-Edged Sword of Technology
Hello, friends. I usually try to write these updates on Saturday but G had a friend’s birthday party at a trampoline park in a town about twenty-five minutes away and there was traffic on the way home and I was tired and…. Well, here I am on Sunday. Let’s go! Welcome to the 70th installment…

Gauthic Times #63 News & Other Stuff from Bill Gauthier, or Writing for Myself
Hello, friends! Things that I’ve been worried about for months will be settled for good or for ill on Monday. I know at least a little of what is about to happen and while it settles some anxiety it causes new anxiety. I’ve considered calling former students to arms (not literal) for months now but…

I’m No Candle, or There’s No Honor in Martyrdom
I believe Harlan Ellison said something like the starving artist is a myth perpetuated by those who don’t wish to pay the artist. I believe he said something to the effect of, “There’s no nobility in starving for one’s art.” He was talking about writing, of course. But it came to me a lot a…

The Early 2022 Post, or Man, I Really Need to Step Things Up
Happy New Year! We made it through 2021 and that’s probably as positive as I can be about that experience! I mean, I guess it wasn’t worse than 2019 or 2020, but it wasn’t great. Teaching during the 2021-2022 school year has so far been the most difficult I’ve experienced. We here at casa de…

Gabby Ray Arrives!
Gabby Ray has lived in my family since 2007. It began as a joke but I’ve used the character as an example for years in my class when I teach Photoshop, InDesign, etc. Last year, I did a project with the students and actually did the project with them. Writing, drawing, all of this comic…

Wait? You Mean…It’s 2017?!
How have I not posted anything since July?! Well, there were a few abandoned posts that I just didn’t like the sound of before posting them, and the many ideas for posts I either didn’t have the time, energy, or wherewithal to write and post. There were the posts about Star Wars, or politics, or the depression/anxiety I’ve…

Wherein I Peek Out, Blink, & Weep, or What the Hell Is Going On, Anyway?
I posted a quick update at the end of week 1 of my grad school online course and wrote, “when I look at the syllabus, I see that the remaining nine weeks are going to be very busy.” I am at the start of week 8 of 10. I haven’t completed week 7 yet. I shouldn’t be…

Kids These Days, or You’re Old, Shut Up
Twice in the last 48 hours on my Facebook feed I’ve seen posts that start with “Kids these days…” or some equivalent. Whenever I hear that, especially coming from someone my age or within shooting distance of my age (I was born in 1977), my immediate response is, “Fuck you.” I can’t help it.…

“When I was a kid…”, or Why Your Childhood Doesn’t Mean Much to the Matter At Hand
When I was a kid, my father would say, “When I was a kid…” and I’d roll my eyes, sigh, and be the snot that I was. I often reminded him that it was The Eighties, which is just about how I thought of them, capital- and italicized. I blame bad sitcoms and teen movies…
