So teachers must never share any details about their personal lives and only ever speak about books?

One would think that reflection of the impact of literature on ones personal life is an important part of analysis.

Also that teachers should be fully and authentically present for their students, not just glorified YouTube lectures.

RETURN TO CRABB

This article feels like it was written by an old man yelling at clouds. “… Back in my day we smoked mid and we liked it” shakes fist and then uses it as a reason to go back to prohibition. Why can’t we just make it legal and let the free market figure it out.

Turns out more THC for the buck means people can make a few months supply of edibles out of a few grams. Cost effective!

With an open field, who would you vote for president?

Now given the field has two candidates, who do you think will do a better job between the two? I’m actually curious to hear your answers and why.

Your comment here indicates you think being able to talk over others is an important part of the job. Why do you see that as an important attribute? Does the President of the most powerful country in the world often need to be the loudest person in the room? Do they need to dominate conversations, preventing other people from talking, to do their job effectively?

This looks uncannily like my shelf, I’m trying to buy land now for my permaculture forest 😭

When I first learned to bake bread and pizza.

Five years later I was 60lb/27kg heavier and needed to go on keto to break the bread habit. Sigh. Took me almost as long to lose an the weight, but I’ve kept it off now for almost ten years!

I got a copy of it, excited to give it a listen!

Eugh watching him eat tomatoes was a terrible day to have eyes

I listened to it while lifting, and now every time I lift while listening to something else I’m like “ugh this book is fine but it’s no Silmarillion”

I’ve listened to dozens of great books at the gym, but there’s only two I’ve wanted to listen to a second time: Silmarillion and Norse Mythology by Neil Gaimon

There’s just such a vibe to those books. The stories are short, but they feel ancient. I feel rooted when I listen to them.

That and when I’m trying to fall asleep and it’s winter. I’m cozy and feeling the hygge. I’ve got my warm drink and blankets and I want a bedtime story of how Morgoth was cast down

Golden chandelier sure is proud about his efforts to oppress his fellow Americansenemies. He really hates Americans having freedom I guess

Thanks for getting me to laugh this early

Run runner!

Looks like, nasty weather…

🎶Chinatown my chinatown🎶

I love this game, it’s got so much flavor and drama. Yeah some of the missions are practically impossible, but there’s something about cruising along on a hilly road, watching the city lights

OH NA NA NA NA NA YA

I WANNA BE

CONSEQUENCE FREE

I mean I hate that the steam controller is missing an entire thumb stick and a dpad, but I like the touchpad too. This just seems like an PS4 controller.

Unbelievably amazing

Hey now there’s nothing weird about being completely unable to focus under fluorescent lights.

Definitely include a graph of shareholder value overlayed on top.

Sarcasm aside, maybe we should have a graph that also shows:

• average hours worked a year
• average number of sunsets a person sees before they die
• average hours spent with loved ones per year
• average rent
• average hours worked to pay for groceries
• average hours spent doomscrolling on social media
• average student loan debt payments
• suicide rate
• average zoom calls a year
• happiness

And see that by basically all metrics we are working more, paid less, more depressed, more stressed, and unhappy.

Oh yeah, the carcinogens from a fire definitely are cancerous, and we’re always taught to put our dirty gear in trash compactor bags and wash it in a special machine back at the station.

I meant all the coatings on the outer shell or inside the lining by our necks and wrists. That would get into the body through the thin skin there even when just walking around
