60,000 Gazans have been killed. 18,500 were children. These are their names. Palestinian children have been killed at a rate of more than one per hour since the war began.

No way should they have this behind a paywall, but here's a gift link. These numbers are still impossible to comprehend.

Front view of my cat sitting on the back of a chair with her front legs spread in a way that makes her kind of resemble a Fresno Nightcrawler.

Is she, in fact, a Fresno Nightcrawler?

My Ghost of Christmas Present showed up. Didn't take me anywhere. Just said, "Yep. Christmas. Happening right now." And then he's just been kinda hanging out all day, gesturing and nodding.

Getting sick on break is a mixed bag because on the one hand, what a waste of my time off, but on the other, at least I don't have to worry about writing sub plans.

People are making a big deal about Trump being Time's Person of the Year. Didn't we go over this the last time it happened? It's not meant to be an honor; it's just meant to acknowledge the years most influential person.

Also, fun fact: I was Time's Person of the Year in 2004.

All jokes aside it's really fucked up to see so many people on here celebrating murder. No one here is the judge of who deserves to live or die. That's the job of the AI algorithm the insurance company designed to maximise profits on your health and no one else

I think the higher difficulty level makes sense for a video game adaptation where you can save at any time. It'd be different if I had to create a new character every time I died in BG3.

Those two have been on my "to try" list for awhile! I've tried Ironsworn also, but I want to give Starforged a shot since I'm more into the theme.

We've implemented standards based grades in my district for the past few years. The grades are all converted to letter grades for report cards, though, and that's all students and parents care about.
