Hey Tribe,
It’s that time again. Mister Happy Fucker here with your monthly FYI/PSA because WTF—why the fuck not? Here's your monthly reminder that giving a fuck is a radical act of kindness and caring—and this month, we’re turning it into a goddamn homework assignment.
This Month’s Homework: Give a Fuck
That’s right. Your homework is simple:
Give your fucks generously.
Someone needs one.
Someone near you—your kid’s teacher, your coworker, your neighbor, your favorite barista—is carrying more than they’re saying.
And you? You’ve got a few extra fucks in your pocket.
So this month’s homework isn’t about self-preservation.
It’s about activation.
-
Look around.
-
Spot the burnout.
-
Spot the effort no one clapped for.
-
Spot the quiet struggle behind the smile.
-
Then give a fuck. Loudly. Lovingly. Publicly, if needed.
Extra Credit if You Mean It
Not pretend fucks.
Not that hollow “thoughts and prayers” bullshit.
And definitely not the lazy “how are you doing?” on autopilot.
We’re talking about fucking showing up—for yourself, your people, and the strangers you pass who are barely holding it together.
It’s simple:
-
Check in.
-
Ask, “Are you okay?”
-
Stay for the answer.
Life Doesn’t Grade on a Curve, But It Does Reward Effort
No one’s coming to audit your homework.
But if you’ve got the courage to give a fuck—like really, awkwardly, truly give a fuck—you’ll find that the world gets a little softer. A little kinder. A little more worth waking up for.
So this is your reminder:
-
The subject is Fucking Homework.
-
The grade? Pass/fail.
-
The only way to fail is to not try.
Giving a Fuck Isn’t Optional—It’s Part of the Curriculum
Whether you’re a student, a parent, a teacher, or some combination of all three, you’re probably already carrying a heavy-ass backpack full of school-based drama, stress, and expectations.
And if no one told you lately:
You’re doing more than fucking enough.
But if you’ve got a little energy left—if your heart’s still got room for one more person—then pass those extra fucks around.
Got fucks to give? Then give ’em. Out loud. In real life.
Hand one over with a smile, or slip it into someone’s bag like a secret pep talk. However you do it, don’t keep that compassion locked up like it’s extra credit.
Special Shoutout: Teachers, Students, and the Grown-Ups Who Make It All Happen
Let’s get personal for a second. I didn’t pick this theme out of nowhere.
-
My daughter? A teacher.
-
My sister? A teacher.
-
A few of my cousins? Teachers, professors, and school administrators.
-
Even my fucking ex-wife works at a public school.
So yeah—Homework isn’t just a metaphor.
It’s real life for the people I love.
And maybe for the people you love too.
Final Reminder:
You’ve got what someone else needs.
That’s power. That’s purpose.
That’s homework worth doing.
Now go on. Do your fucking homework.
