going through my google photos to clear up space and realized I never posted a thing from Ryan North's How to Invent Everything that smacked me upside the head with some Golden Compass Feels.

Male soccer players are such wimps. I've seen a guy rolling in the dirt twice in two minutes fishing for a red card

Ya big baby if you can't stay on your feet get off the field LORD HELP

Our kids have been not doing so great on the complex and/or written response questions on bio exams, so we're making them do more writing in class.

I'm grading last week's practice and got so frustrated at kids not fully answering that I'm putting stickers on the papers of those that are.

Our local superintendent is coming to observe my department + our 5th or 7th period classes next week, and I deeply suspect some of the materials one of the course team leads provided for the lesson was AI generated.

I only noticed this as I was adapting it for my language learners.

Did the math, and I have a total of 95 students total on my rosters this year. Average out to about 19 kids per class, which is honestly pretty great.

However, with the changes in our ESOL plan writing system this year, I have to answer a ~15 question survey for 73 of them.

And it's due before Oct

I was so brave today and graded (and entered!) five whole classes worth of osmosis labs and city presentations and almost forgot to chop up a beet for tomorrow's SA:V demonstration BUT I REMEMBERED ON TIME

also got all my pins on the new pin banner and picked out a dozen or so to give new homes to

Didn't stay but maybe six hours, but it was a good Sunday at DragonCon. Got to hang out with @jenhaneve.bsky.social, shop for fanart, and someone recognized the Jaina Solo jersey and we were able to talk about the PWHL for a minute! Sorry I wasn't able to trade pokemon @nancipants.bsky.social 😭

Not sure why half of the quiz was made up of wildly weird uses of the word "anymore"-- is that a Midwest thing? Because my in-laws do it but they also have literally never once used a past participle so 🤷‍♀️

how are you supposed to react when you see a car in a store parking lot with the vanity plate SKN8814? and then the person who gets in it looks like every young mom wearing athlesure to run errands

did she get that plate on purpose

is it her SO's car and she has no idea

what the everloving fuck

Trying to decide if I wear Hot Thrawn The war Crimer to DCon as planned or HTV the Jaina Solo stuff on the Rogue Squadron jersey (and sew down proper canvas later for games) instead.

And then suddenly thought-- holy shit, Jedi Strike Team jerseys. Logo would obvs be a snarling voxyn. Brown, though?

The peril of gaining a certification to teach a core, graduation-required class on top of your specialty is that you're gonna get a whole lot of kids who need the core content but don't need anything that you're specialized for and friends this is my nightmare

Ok so @bpal.bsky.social is doing more dragon scents for DragonCon and I loved last year's Melichorous and Greige SO MUCH this year I gotta try Fulvous and Goose Turd but I really should behave and not buy like thirty more things

our school has a "business and entrepreneurship" department that helps connect kids to opportunities so they can start thinking about employment after graduation etc etc etc

but it's often abbreviated to B&E

and every time I see it

I have to work VERY hard to remember it's NOT Breaking & Entering

Never make fun of someone if they mispronounce a word.

It means they learned it by reading.

Listening to hubsand talk about his various disappointments with the FFVII remakes vs the OG and what they could have done with the story

And now I'm wondering about Sephiroth - Cloud - Aerith as a kind of Ganon - Link - Zelda trio*, with their various Power-Courage-Wisdom themes etc

my smart board got replaced last night!!!!!

discovered it was broken the day before open house, IT guy came by and confirmed it would need to be replaced but the county would have to do it

so I wheeled in a temp board (bc they uninstalled our projectors last semester) to start the year

@jenhaneve.bsky.social @nancipants.bsky.social apparently DCon has gotten better about updating their app over the years because they've already got vendors and events in it! I'm poking through now to see what all will be there

had my first case of actual "saw the student pull something down from her chromebook screen and hide it in her hoodie pocket" case of cheating today, two students who are the only ones out of 3 classes so far to get higher than a 50
