iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I suppose I am a teacher of late teens/adults who would be presumably quite bad at teaching small children in groups, so it makes perfect sense.

It is fascinating to me how many professional - and very good! - teachers of children are SO BAD at giving presentations to adults about curriculum. It just shows that age-and-knowledge-appropriate communication to different audiences is a distinct skill.

Misread this as "Nice things, a threat:" which I quite like actually

The other week I saw the 1918 Danish silent film Trip to Mars | Himmelskibet and it was a total delight; the main thrill was that they flew to Mars in a BIPLANE. I kept trying to imagine some kind of crossover with Project Hail Mary and couldn't make it happen but I'll keep trying.

A flying vessel that looks like a metal airship with biplane wings stuck on the top. On the side in huge black lettering it says "Excelsior".

"Sounds great, thanks!"

Go with $35! If it helps, you could think of it as not undercutting other people.

On a similar line, I've also been listening to Matt Maeson's "Cringe" a lot. I'm fine, why do you ask.

I think Noah Kahan's "Dial Drunk" is a masterpiece of perspective storytelling in a song. I love it. He's so good at writing about shame-ridden masculinity and depression.

I love this guy. I think he'd give me heroin if I asked.

Saw weary podiatrist with 1000-yard stare again today. "How's your foot?" "Well it kind of sucks honestly. I was wondering if you could give me another steroid shot and refer me to physio." *heavy sigh*. "Yeah, I could, I guess." *starts getting needles out of drawer*

A nice thing about HW is that while he cannot NOT play with something physical, he is very responsive if you instruct him in Safety Procedures And Techniques For the Thing (mostly because he likes the words 'procedure' and 'technique')

I recently got some hand weights and HW, who is very interested in exercising, asked if he could use them. I ran him through basic safety - don't lock your joints, lay them down when done, never drop or throw - and I just caught him carefully instructing J in the same safety procedures.

Seeing this I had a full-sensory flashback of what they feel like in my hand! I love conkers.

Wowww, intersectional assholery.

<33 thank you!!!! I'm trying!

I feel like I might be the grumpy mean mum??? oh well, probably the role I was born for.

I told him (politely) he was being kind of rude right now, and he backed off, but jeez, kid, has no adult ever said no to you before? This isn't my playdate and I don't want to play!
