Teaching STEM without teaching the Humanities is how you get Spider-Man villians. Teaching Theater without teaching the Humanities is how you get Batman villians.

This made me laugh. And then I sat and thought about it. This is correct.

On this Chairteenth, we celebrate the good folks of Montgomery, especially our guy AquaMayne. Special shout out to the folks who, within 72 hours, recreated this in their apartment complex. A COMMUNITY!! 💀

Stop trying to please people that already don't like you. Instead embrace the idea of being the most annoying person in their lives.

DS9 rewatch is next

Becoming obsessed with DS9 is Bluesky’s real verification process

Oh no
One of my fave authors when the kids were young

"Happy "closer to 2050 than 2000" day, everyone"

The relentless march goes on

Oh that is lovely! I'm going to have to look more closely at it.

I really must get round to reading it. Your reviews are helping. 🙂

Peachicks!!!! So fluffy and big bottomed.

We are seen

as the month closes out this GAY MAGPIE wishes all you queers a happy pride once again!!!

Twenty years after graduation, I've just paid off the last of my student loan!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

A white dove gradually gaining the black and brown feathers of a common UK pigeon. Rather pretty with darker wings and flecks of colour across its predominantly white body.

One of the white "doves" that comes to my garden for food. Rather tame. Probably specially bred and then released for a celebration. They turn into common pigeons. But look how pretty it is. Dumb as anything, but pretty.

A stripey horned grebe baby rides on the back of one of its parents. It is looking behind the parent at one of its siblings who is floating on the marsh and not getting a speedy ride!

“ Punch it mom! We’re leaving Gary in our dust!”
A few days ago the Horned Grebes were still occasionally riding on their parents’ backs. This little one seemed quite please to be zooming ahead of its sibling🤣

I then moved onto basic trigonometry and SOHCAHTOH.

After relearning what that was, I plunged into an online paper I found.

It took me 1hr to get the 1st 4 questions right. And 30mins for the remaining 8.

I swear questions 3&4 were the most complicated of the 12.

Why? Why would you do that??

Since I am now apparently helping my godkid through GCSE maths (and others), I've dived right into the deep end with pythagoras.

Good news, I remember how to do it. Yay!

Bad news, I still have ADHD so I got 3 questions (out of 26) wrong for silly mistakes.

on the last day of the United States, when this country has finally descended into civil war, i will do a thread on how to dress for summer

Well volunteered. 😁

oh

So I might be reading An Inspector Calls this summer.

And rereading a Christmas Carol. But al least this one has songs in it.

It has songs in it, right?

Be a godparent they said. It'll be easy. It'll be fun.

No one mentioned anything about having a school averse neurodiverse teenage godkid with a less than ideal home life, no experience of hard work or structure and no one else left who can help them.

Oh and delicate mental health.

26 years since I sat my GCSEs i find myself back trawling through revision guides and past papers.

Good news, with some familiarising of the texts and time periods I can do the humanities.

Bad news, I've forgotten most the science and maths is a foreign subject.

I don't even have children!!

[title] there's laundry to do and a genocide to stop there's laundry to do and a genocide to stop. I have to eat better and also avoid a plague. my rent went up $150. I'll need to pick up more shifts. Twenty people died in Rafah this morning and every major news outlet is stretching the limits of passive voice to suggest whole families may have leaped up through the air at missiles that otherwise had the right of way. I just got a notification that my student loan payments are starting up again and my phone isn't charged. My cousin got COVID for a fourth time and can no longer work or walk or even feed himself. The person across from me on the L train seems to fashion themself a punk rock revolutionary, but they're not wearing a face mask, and that's the kind of cognitive dissonance that makes me want to steal batteries. Fascists keep winning primaries for both parties, and I think I gained a few pounds. The CDC just announced there are no more speed limits on highways, and I think this Ativan is finally hitting. The NYPD farmer's market only sells bad apples, have you heard that one? Listen it's warm today, too warm for March. But I don't have time to think through the implications because there's laundry to do and a genocide to stop.

this poem got a lot of flak when it was written because people have no reading comprehension but i've been thinking about it a lot again (by @vinayrk.bsky.social unless i'm mistaken)
