I was born and raised to be the quirky eccentric well loved English teacher
Only to end up as the chaotic exhausted well loved Spanish and ESL teacher 💃🏽
@cursedhive
Making and sharing art means being okay with opening it up to critique. Not everyone is gonna love your art , and that’s okay. Some authors gotten toughen up a little … they don’t think the most famous authors in the world haven’t gotten their fair share of 1 stars??
@ruemcclammyhand
My experience from my immigrant parents and family of friends and my English learner students is that they all live in the USA out of necessity but if things were different in their home countries they’d live there instead 🥺 and I get it!!
@charliclement_
I’m a teacher and every yr our admin is like ATTENDANCE ATTENDANCE ATTENDANCE
And I understand that being at school is important BUT being at school sick is awful and can even be dangerous for some kids
Like it’s okay to have 90% attendance !!
@2shweet4me
I wish ppl would stop getting engaged at concerts … At least a if people are gonna a be reacting like this !!
I’d be terrified too and honestly Hozier was too nice to the ppl who screamed k would kicked them out ….
@LenValyrian
Look … I’ve had middle school boys with crushes on me. What did I do? Set some strict boundaries and make sure I made clear that I am their TEACHER and they are a child
Really … it’s not hard unless the teacher is already a terrible person 🤷🏽♀️
@ryanposting
Leaving the door empty gives it a more ominous vibe! Like it makes it feel like there truly is something unknown and scary behind that door , more eerie than actually putting something scary there
@ChrisAlvino
When my ex broke up w/ me we had a “feedback talk” where I told him he’d never find a gf being the way he was to me. He had spent a year being emotionally abusive, egotistical, criticising , selfish and hating everything about me. I agreed with him that we were incompatible
@amandadeibert
When I was in 4th gr. we had a field trip to like a history re enactment place ? The bus driver got so lost we never made it :’) but w/ our teachers help he stopped at a park with some water toys and they let us play for a few hours and it was fun to have such a long recess!
@eviltweets725
Like I am glad to be the village auntie who does not want my own kids but who is down to love on other peoples’ kids , with the proper boundaries and discipline lol
Children are part of society and I think our culture making it weird for adults and children to interact is
@lastcornelia
@taylornation13
Are these the new ones ?
The one I got in 2021 (I think? Like that second iteration of the original) has been put through it and still holding up pretty well!
@inkhat
It’s not talent!! It’s investing time and effort into learning something new and improving on a skill 😭
Even naturally “talented” ppl still work on their craft!
@KevCoke6
I hope the indie band I am in love with doesn’t become tooo famous bc when I saw them perform in 2022 that ticket was $45! They’re amazing and I support their Patreon , but also hope their tickets never become crazy expensive bc they’re so amazing live 🥺🧡
@kenreadthat
I remember as a teen going to a bookstore and buying “Enchantress from the Stars” bc the cover was cool, for like $2. 1970’s sci fi fantasy and one of my all time favourite books as a kid!! There are so many amazing books that aren’t popular but so worth it :)
@arvofart
I started studying CS in college and one semester in decided to do a 180and study what I ACTUALLY wanted to study - Spanish and German literature with a minor in education (Masters in Teaching)
Guess who has had no trouble getting a job and it’s not the tech kids …
@realgirl_fieri
A lot of critique on this topic was coming from librarians who are concerned that they’re already being spread thin in an under resourced public service. I love the idea of children having more indoor play areas but not necessarily libraries (for librarians not patrons sake)
@sensorystories_
It IRKS me when someone else puts my stuff away (or when 3 am me decides to clean lol)
Bc I legit will be like oh I need a hair tie and know exactly where on the floor I had one, but if it’s in a cabinet I’ll buy more hair ties thinking I didn’t have any 😭 just one example lol
@shaktitots
@MadisonKittay
As someone with a soy allergy , I’ve been to multiple Chinese food restaurants that can make me soy free stir fries or fried rice! Busy restaurant kitchens can accommodate , why can a friend not?
@JoshuaPHilll
I work with refugee children from a round the world, including from a few Muslim countries. Have had some talks with them about how they feel and making sure the other students are also aware. It’s tough just carrying on as if “nothing” is happening
@brjork
The older I get the more I realise I kinda love pigeons
They’re just cute lil critters who have ELA red to adapt to urbanisation
They’re harmless and goofy and cute
Same with rats and mice 😅 maybe I’m the crazy one …
@youyunghaan
@aedison
I rarely use my phone while walking (no earbuds or anything!) and have made eye contact with drivers as they run stop signs right as I was gonna walk :)
Or I see them get angry at me bc they had to stop while I cross
Drivers don’t give a shit and I wish they did …
@__BHB__
I grew up at a unique time in the early 2000’s when computer lab time and computer class was still a very explicit instructional time
We learned to type and some
Tech basics (including safety!) and this was before things like Google docs and AI
@HannahBerrelli
Coming from a culture that tends to overprotect daughters, I don’t really see this as that weird? It’s not like they’re gonna go to work with her everyday- they offered to practice her commute with her! How is that bad ? I think western culture OVERvalues independence …
@FarleyForQueen
@HELLA_GIRTH
@muddaub
Children raised in very controlling environments are more likely to rebel and do 100% the opposite of what they were raised to. But good luck girlie 🤷🏽♀️
@CheyenneHuntCA
My biggest reason to remain child free is that I do not want to go through a pregnancy and birth. If I change my mains and have one kid (just one!) I can try adopting or finding a partner who already has kids lol , but I do not want the medical complications of pregnancy :’(
@ladidaix
@salmawysalma
Exactly! Even very old extant garments from the 1800s show evidence of alterations. Ppl have been reusing and altering clothes since forever. She had it altered with professionals and the dress wasn’t destroyed, it was fixed to fit her. There’s literally no issue 😅
@hi_its_annaleah
Dishonest?!
I’m here trying to be as honest and accurate as possible with every DETAIL I can recall!! 🥲
My ND brain understands more detail = more accurate = more honest so I cannot under explain !
@elysianenchant
Insecurity and jealousy are normal emotions tho.
We hear all the time it’s bad to be jealous! It’s bad to be insecure! But do we ever discuss how to work through those feelings? That EVERYONE feels insecure and jelaous bc they’re normal feelings
just like anger and grief
@LenValyrian
Kids will develop crushes on anyone they admire , like the kid who liked me? Was bc I was the first teacher who beloved in his academic abilities. Feelings of admiration are confusing in kids so it’s up to us to teach them what’s appropriate and what’s not!!
@LenValyrian
Also this can be a good teaching moment for boys (and girls) about what healthy adults are like. Kids are vulnerable for many reasons and boys are not immune to abuse!! This is a chance to be like hey if an adult does this and this and this … TELL SOMEONE !
@ChrisAlvino
So many guys feel like ruining your self esteem and self worth is a way to have power over women. Well jokes on him, now I have an incredible bf who adores everything about me and he’s still depressed friendless and alone. Men cause their own problems lol
@mamasgoldenmilk
Lately I’ve been feeling so sad about being single , but seeing men like this in existence is what is making me stay really really picky …
@thegetawaymeg
I’m the opposite where I find it crazy and surprising that there are people who cannot exist AT ALL without substances
Like I feel many things help ppl (I myself take antidepressants) but I deal with my mental health and can be fun/happy w/out alcohol or any kind of drugs!
@youreinIcve
That’s one less ticket bought though!!! There’s hope!! 🙌🏼
The first time I got a code but saw the ticket prices and I could not afford it that time (also TM crashed and it was a mess!) I hope that ticket went to a WL fan! I am WL this time tho :’)
@sensorystories_
I have no patience for this kind of stuff but MY DAD !! I always ask him to pack my suitcases bc he’s so good at fitting tons of stuff. He also has incredible special memory, can remember roads from just looking at a map once or twice. I suspect the ND comes from his side 😅
@laforet
@ask_aubry
My ex bf dated me for a year & 3 months in which he said he loved my body but not my face … so when he broke up with me bc we liked different music (he was 27…) I realised how much better my life was without him. I should have left first ages before but 🤷🏽♀️ he never loved me
@NBelekof
@naledimashishi
For me when I was 19 and now 27 are when I’ve felt it most , like I have been steadily gaining weight every year (some lifestyle causes) but when I hit 27 I gained 20 lbs despite actually making healthier choices !! So … yeah hormones :’)
@_nomadic_soul
What pushed me to question religion at 12 yea old was when my home church I grew up in fell apart bc the 47 yr old married with 6 kids music director lusted after a 16 yr old girl in the choir. Her and her mom told the pastor and his response was “pray for the brother”
@dittofilms
@arvofart
I was a CS major who 180 switched to Spanish/German comparative literature and education and the opportunities I’ve had because of it have been pretty amazing! I taught abroad through Fulbright, part of a Poetry and translation fellowship, have worked with my school district
@DuckieLouise
BUT , it is okay to say no. Babies are people and you can have boundaries with them. But like you can deny a hug from another person you can politely say you don’t want to carry a baby, even if you love them and the mom!
@chinaspacelaser
@cxrnerrstone
You can make a convo about weather deep if you try hard enough!
Suddenly I’m talking about the climate in my home state, all
the scenery I miss, and how climate change is killing us all. Look and all that bc I mentioned “gosh darn it sure is hot today!”
I’m a knitter BUT tried my hand at the Trait plushie. I’m so proud of it! The pattern was pretty easy- I only almost cried once bc I realised too late I sewed the head on wonky … I’ve already enchanted my family and friends with it so … gotta go make 8 more 🤣
@CSHMerch
@vhannadiaries
“Well written�� is pretty subjective 😅
Like who decides something is well written or worthy of study …. I’ve read some classics that are just terrible too
@mrnastynodrama
Reading is one of the most unnatural things a human brain can do , that’s why it’s so hard !!! 😵💫
Look I get it … public schools suck (I’ve worked at several) but there’s still much to say about teachers trying hard to ACTIVELY teach !!
@soymeii
Every time someone asks me “are you always this happy and nice and bubbly and sweet?” I think to myself how I have gotten so good at masking!! bc I’m actually a curmudgeon full of rage and existential sadness and lots of facts about ballet and my favourite indie rock band :’)
@janesreputation
I feel like “manifested” is a word that’s getting misused a lot 🤣 people grow apart , no one plans it or expects it, but it can happen. That’s life 🥺
@worm_food15
It took me 3 years and a psychiatrist staring at me mouth open asking me why I was still “friends” with a guy who SAed me (and several TitleIX trainings) to realise I had been SAed :’)
@LenValyrian
A teacher who harms or “gets caught up” with a child would have harmed a kid anyway in other situations
Kids having crushes on teachers is developmentally appropriate, what matters is how school adults handle the situation bc WE’RE THE ADULTS 😠
@AutSciPerson
You know this is actually a very interesting take! It’s like kids are being conditioned on how to behave and not taught how to exist in a community. 🤔
@sarahradz_
I’m an elementary school teacher and can vouch that little ones still love to run around and play on colourful playgrounds more than sitting on devices , and kids still love sports and there is still simple joy and magic in childhood
Ppl over complicate core memories
@CSHMerch
I’ll also say, I’m always impressed and awed at how quick and efficient CSH merch is with deliveries! Even with delays, communication is clear. I’ve had lots of issues ordering from the TS merch site and emails kinda go unanswered. :’D her merch is too expensive to get lost!!
@ngray251
@focusfronting
Did you mean surrogacy ? Like someone else has the baby for you- that’s surrogacy.
IVF (as others have mentioned) is you yourself getting fertility treatment for you yourself to get pregnant (this is usually the problem) and birth the baby . IVF can be used in surrogacy
@actionhankbeard
EVERYTHING CAUSES CANCER , chances are most ppl will have some type of cancer at some time in their lives 🤷🏽♀️
Just live your life , it’s inevitable!
@eviltweets725
I’m a teacher and also fan of a lot of things that are usually geared towards kids. I personally do not try to be friends with teens or kids (that’s part of healthy school relationships) but I think adults being friendly with kids should , oddly enough, be normalised!
@ElyKreimendahl
As a teacher add me to that hill to die on … teaching remotely sucks , especially babies! Like just give us the day off … I’m gonna be grading and planning anyway just in my pyjamas with a hot chocolate of my own 😂 our last snow day was announced so last minute , so nice!!
@eviltweets725
Detrimental to kids. Where are they learning how to be people and do things?? They learn that from the safe grownups in their lives. I remember being taught to sew by my dad’s friend’s wife - I was 16 , she was 70! Kids need more adult interactions (and taught how to stay safe)
@savororaidh
I have had anxiety my ENTIRE LIFE , as far back in my memory as I can go , I have been an anxious kid. Diagnosed with GAD/OCD at 17 and now realising that … I think it was just little autistic me not knowing how to adapt to the world and it made me anxious.
@book3nds
@milkkirie
I’m always baffled by the lack of empathy people have …. Yeah YOU don’t experience it but that doesn’t mean someone else does? If someone has a fear of being a pedo… they’re not. That’s what OCD is the obsessive and irrational, unreal fear that affects someone’s life.
@Autistic_Lia
When autism comes up against POC cultures and what that can look like. I think a lot about what being a Latina woman is like but being an autistic Latina woman , much specific experience & I wonder how some aspects of autism for me differ bc of culture.
@brittttpop
I’m an adult and still water down juice. It’s just way too sweet ! And it goes further when you dilute it haha
I love using sparkling water to make my juice a little bubbly ;) it’s like British squash - you need to dilute it a little!
@DuckieLouise
You can interact with a baby and not hold it. I personally don’t love carrying babies … but will I play with them? Will I smile and talk to them? Will I hold their hands or let them explore around me? Yeah! And if mom really needs me to or if baby is unsafe I’ll step in.
@MaldivesBlues
@piper4missouri
I think it’s so ironic how many people who are such heavy handed Bible pounders have probably not read the whole Bible … or read it in the depth that it deserves to be read. Wasn’t that Martin Luther’s whole thing??? read it and interpret it on your own??
@HannahBerrelli
I think this sounds more like a daughter giving in to her very protective parents wanting to keep her safe, especially in a world where things are getting more unsafe sadly :(
They just love and care about her and for a lot of non white cultures this is not unusual.
@ShaunieDarko
Middle school teacher here: There’s Middle Grade and YA , but middle grade feels too young for kids in this age group (not all middle grade but a lot ). I feel like New Adult needs to be more of a thing and leave teen books for and about teens!
@moorehn
Even in college I’ve never understood going to a coffee shop to work on anything 😅 I see the appeal but in practice I ppl watch and eat and the music is too much - coffee shops are for chisme and snacking over an open book I wasn’t gonna read there anyway!!
@_nomadic_soul
@ThomBlank
Yup!! Especially bc a lot of women are scared of how men will react to a straight up no, so we might be more subtle as a way to protect ourselves. But it still means no !
@lewcedes
I mean … the album is called “Short n sweet” I’m assuming this was an intentional artistic decision
Like a little collection of little songs~
But also … opinions about 10-16 minute songs?
@ChrisAlvino
My anger stemmed from him spending a year trying to make me feel small bc HE was insecure and had no friends aside from me … he so desperately wanted a gf and he had a REALLY GOOD gf! He said he enjoyed his time w/ me while I fumed bc he had destroyed my self esteem
@TheLazyAnole
That’s why I understand why they want 100% attendance :/ bc of the funding … but it’s so unrealistic to expect kids to always be at school , especially with all the plagues going around …
@ThomBlank
@_nomadic_soul
@shilohpie
The first no means no. And the second no means I have a right to defend myself if you’re not gonna listen to that first no …
@TheRulingNerds
@girlziplocked
Europeans are so spoiled with their cross country high speed trains and still Ryanair instead !! the only reason I fly so often is bc I visit family a couple times a year across the country (IL -> CA) and if there were more reliable trains I wouldn’t !! (Amtrak takes 2 days)
@veritys_books
I log in every time I put the book down for the day! Whether it was 1 page or 50, I like to keep track of how many pages I’m at. Also bc I love short stories so I don’t always finish books 😅
@adamfare1996
The easiest thing to do would be to just stop caring 😆 hateful people waste so much energy and time and LIFE trying to make their environment exactly what they want and believe when just not caring would spare them a lot of distress. Live and let live right?
@Smriii7
Reading is reading though. However someone has gotten into reading , whenever someone has gotten into reading - it’s all valid and special! I was also a bookworm kid and now I’m a teacher and trying to get others to like books too. ;)
@ruemcclammyhand
And honestly , I lived in Europe briefly (about a year or so) on a grant to teach English and I had such a hard time :’) I craved my dusty desert SoCal hometown lol
There really is no place like home , even if many places can feel like home!
