students also need help complimenting constructively! sometimes they don't know how useful it can be to just say "wow, what a good comparison here, that really made sense to me." people can absolutely learn from praise, especially when it's specific.

exactly! "i found this part really good, it really worked for me" is one of the most useful things for writer and reader.

honestly it IS harder to grade a pile of papers that are all different, where students have swung for the fences on wildly divergent topics. but this time i have the privilege of relatively small classes, and i also find identical essay topics mind-numbing, so here we are. in weirdoville

like not all of them, obviously. but there's a significant number who are just so earnestly following their passions. i'm proud as hell.

tbh too many films with big fights have everyone immediately jump into choreographed strikes/blocks, like they're all dancing partners who practice together. this is so high-tension and uncertain that it's riveting

i know everyone is focused on the macaroni but my question is, did she pull the fucking turkey with forks? did she cut WITH the grain? possibly using a butter knife? it looks like insulation filling
