Absolutely. When I am learning a new stitch or have to put a lot of thought into what comes next, sometimes I have to put it off for days or weeks to prevent PEM. I sometimes will have multiple crochet projects at a time, and I can choose the higher or lower energy project depending on my symptoms.

I’m 3 years in to long covid-sorry to hear you’re 5. It isn’t much more complex than a blanket. The two differences I found: having to be precise so it fits you and having to construct it. The cardigan pattern I followed crochets the back panel, the two front panels, and then joins them together.

For others suffering long covid, dysautonomia, me/cfs, etc, I have found crochet to be an awesome addition to my life. Helps me engage in rest without messing up my sleep cycle. Especially patterns that are very repetitive like this one (all half double crochet stitches).

I allowed students to opt out of either or both classes if they didn’t feel they were in a place to attend. It was only because I’ve heard her be very critical of the system on numerous occasions that I trusted her to come in (unlike mine from grad school that just denied any inequality problems).

analyzing some overview information from the intro chapter and creating space to ask questions while just us. It’s an undergrad seminar of only 10 students who have been very critical yet supportive of each other all semester but sometimes asking ?’s I don’t know about our uni…

I invited her because I thought it could be a cool opportunity for mutual learning: she from our sociological analysis and my students and I about how our uni structures things. And that cross learning definitely happened both ways 🎉

For my students’ protection, we spent one class before she came…

She had actually read the book this summer (for prof dev)! She’s unusual in that her background was in Title IX victim advocacy as a student and she got JD to get a coordinator job to improve the system. She’s made good changes so far (as permitted by law) and is very open to suggestions

I’m teaching one that size this semester (6) and I’ve found it’s effective to be a bit more informal. Sometimes I sit down to feel more like we’re chatting together to get conversations going more deeply. You will need to provide more diverse perspectives since there are fewer of them to do so.

Those are great suggestions!! I wouldn’t have thought about noise canceling headphones, but that would be so nice when walking through the hallways to not hear all the other noises so loudly.

Great! Yeah I was planning to spend class time checking in on progress and offering informal feedback throughout the semester but that’s a great idea to do it as mini presentations so they can learn from each other.

Want to talk to someone who works there or ask questions? DM me and I'll put you in touch with my twin sister, dept chair of Spanish at HH Prep. She would be happy to talk to any potentially interested candidates.
