@theartguy I got similar feedback!

@theartguy "Avoids contractions and maintains a formal tone" will be on the rubric for every essay I assign next year.

currently watching the first episode of Anne with an E, and I am super confused by their choices.

I'd be interested to hear from you if you have a certain garment that always makes you think of a specific song/album. For me, it's this lavender denim shirt I bought back when I had purple hair, "pastel goth" and the word "aesthetic" were thrown around a lot, and I was obsessed with Wild Nothing's album, Nocturne. I've found that every time I put on this shirt, I mentally run through the first three or four tracks of that album before I realize what I'm doing. It's an all-time favorite. ⛅️

I ordered matching tarot and lenormand decks and I have to wait until tomorrow for them to show up. 😬 *grabby hands*

@Hiraelle I've never even tried measuring ingredients in grams. I didn't know that was a thing!

@Hiraelle I'm American, which means I measure stupidly and probably make food all wrong, but I enjoy baking. A cup is 8 fluid ounces (or half a pint). I usually only use cups and spoons to measure liquids. If it's a spice and they don't want it level, the recipe will specify "heaping." If it's supposed to be level, it'll say "packed." I use a kitchen scale for measuring most other things.

I don't bother with a gaming console until I hear they're releasing a new Animal Crossing for it, so if you could just keep me updated on that front, I'd really appreciate it. 🍃

@lulukenobi I'm doing my best!

@GinnyMcQueen I continue birbing because I work at a STEM school and we make a lot of connections with our students that way. however, I've unfollowed all students and some teachers and see a LOT less when I get on there: mostly just stuff I would want to share with my students about writing and creativity. I'm still considering deleting it, I'm just not sure that makes sense with the way I use it.

less than a full week out of school and I've lost 5lbs. my students and workroom colleagues are amazing, but they bake me cookies and bring donuts and enable my stress eating and drinking. 😖

@Grumdormark meteorologists are professional lie-ologists.

@Grumdormark oh, they'll fit...

@nico "coucou" is a cute way to say hello! 🐍

yesterday was Day 2 of summer vacation. I was supposed to meet up with the other English 2 teacher so that we could plan for next year, but she flodged out on me. I ended up spending the whole day reading a Sarah Waters book instead, and I'm about 60% of the way through it now.
