Although formally a science and mathematics educator, I am somewhat a polymath. I’ve held almost every position there is in K-12 schools. My ‘easy’ - as in subject that I taught the most - is Physics. One of my chief skills is adjusting abstract concepts to general audiences.

I think it’s political theatre. Sadly, it may impact queer kids and others that rely on online support from other kids that there’s only a few of in each school.

Thanks Wayne! Usually a wise choice not to! The photo doesn’t show that it’s a dress. It was $25 at Big W. I have some brand name clothes, but if it’s cheap and it works for me, all the better!

Thank you very much! Love to you too! 💗

So I’m like checking out curtains in a castle. NO. I found extra documentation in the guide.

Thank you! 🥰

You DIG HOLES in the ground. And a ball of silk thread that looks like twine pops out.

And yet … just as arbitrary shit goes on in the real world with government agencies 😂

(This is game ‘me’ visiting Moana) (Yes, no choice about being that age 😅)

So I’m supposed to help her fix her boat. Fair enough that there are wood pieces just lying on the beach. You’re also meant to get her SILK to fix the sail.

Game logic

I’m also playing this game. Disney Dreamlight Valley. There’s a selfie function, it’s occasionally part of a quest to take one.

Still very early days in this game for me. I get it that it’s all pure fantasy anyway, but wtf with some weirdness?😂

I find other ways to contribute, as I’m not the staying silent type. If it looks like I’m avoiding you, it’s not the intended outcome. ❤️

The unfortunate side-effect is that I’m seeing less of people that I enjoy being in contact with. Part of it is also leaving X/Twitter. It’s genuinely self-protection. I get too deeply affected, and it damages my health.

I am continuing to avoid places online that will expose me to bigoted commentary. I do this for my emotional wellbeing and mental health. I still try to keep up with the news, but am in general spending less time on social media.

Chris does what my dad would do too, during such moments. ‘Do not engage except to affirm’😂🤦🏼‍♀️ It’s a happy occasion, though, we’re seeing his older daughter (21 yo) and his mum.

When I was a kid, I knew it was best to stay out of my Mum’s way if we were getting ready to all go somewhere. And that it would take ages, and phrases like ‘what do I wear?’ and ‘my hair looks awful’ would be uttered. Here I am, doing the same 😂🤦🏼‍♀️

Cooler and windy today, about 20°C. I needed a rest day. We’re out, visiting tomorrow. I get stressed even about going out to pleasant events. It struck me how much better we understand relatives as we age.

Oh dear. Bold of English to make do with 26 letters, even bolder to attempt to render other languages accurately 😅

My guess is it’s correlation mostly, causality is a much harder thing to prove. I am not a business person, but I had thought diverse teams would likely outperform homogeneous teams. Just in generating more strategies.

Thank you. It was bizarre - she actually sassed me, raised palm ‘I don’t need this!’. I have to let it go. It was pushing all of my parent and teacher buttons though!

Maybe I should try your approach and be a Southern Hemisphere Belle 😊

I get all of the Celtic fire turn up instead.🤦🏼‍♀️

I regularly look up stuff at a level that is brain-breaking. (Usually quantum physics). I know when I’m not expert, even if I am better than the general population.
