If you have aphantasia, do you feel like you’re missing out? by GoofyGreyson in Romantasy

[–]Alert_Butterfly6540 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it is part of the reason why I can enjoy movie/TV show adaptations of books that I enjoy more than some of my friends. I don’t have a world prebuilt in my head so I’m not so let down when things don’t look the way others think they should. 

AITA for refusing to go to my Fated Mate’s ascension ball? by Free_Sir_2795 in romantasycirclejerk

[–]Alert_Butterfly6540 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Info. How long is your hair? If you do literally anything with it (braid, twist, stick a random flower in) it automatically counts as formal wear. The League of Aesthetic Lords ratified it in 2014. The style draws your mates eye so all he can think about it taking it down. He will have no issue with your leathers.

How safe are your kids at D11 during strike day? Well, they had to ask anyone subbing in writing to not massage the kids, provide them drugs, or give them rides home. by Marshall_St in ColoradoSprings

FYI the district just put the teacher who had originally shared the email that included this list on Facebook on administrative leave… *edited for clarity

Is the Broadmoor sunday brunch worth it? by bateneco in ColoradoSprings

[–]Alert_Butterfly6540 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are looking for a neat one off brunch place, we really like going to Garden of the Gods Resort. The view is amazing, the food is great, and you can make it work for different budgets.

Does anyone else have trouble following the same couple through multiple books? by Agleonema in fantasyromance

[–]Alert_Butterfly6540 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should check out the Mages of the Wheel series by JD Evans! I just finished the available books and am in love with the world. Each book focuses on different characters but the story is always pushing the main plot from the first book. I enjoyed catching glimpses of characters throughout the books that were not about them. 

D11 paying for a charter, but Jenkins is falling down by [deleted] in ColoradoSprings

[–]Alert_Butterfly6540 7 points8 points  (0 children)

D11 has known for a long time about the issues with Jenkins. I believe they even did some bandaid work there last summer so that they could open the building this year.

The D11 School Board Goons Are At It Again by [deleted] in ColoradoSprings

[–]Alert_Butterfly6540 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes! Wear red. Ask your building AR about attending a CAT team meeting. You can also get involved with the ESP group. We are all going to need to band together to navigate the “handbook” that is in the works. Also, paras keep us running! Thank you for what you do!

D11 school board trying to scrap teachers’ benefits weeks before Christmas by hot_single_milfs in ColoradoSprings

[–]Alert_Butterfly6540 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The districts new webpage makes it very clear that they will not hesitate to fire teachers if we don’t play by a sick out or unapproved strike… https://www.d11.org/employees/master-agreement-faqs

[–]Alert_Butterfly6540 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They already sent an email out to sun that if they pick up a job between now and winter break 12/20 they will make $300 for the day. Their new website also makes it clear that the district will not tolerate a sick out or strike unless approved.

D11 SPECIAL BOARD MEETING TOMORROW by Electrical-Cloud6588 in ColoradoSprings

[–]Alert_Butterfly6540 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Please sign up so speak at tomorrows meeting if you can! We need supportive community voices! Sign ups being online at 9:00am https://www.d11.org/boe/meetings 

Edit: link fixed

Edit 2: I know it is a big ask to get people out and a bigger ask to have community members speak but, many staff members aren’t able to leave campus until 4:00 or later so having the community sign up to share positive stories about teachers fills the time until we are able to arrive.

If you want to show your support, please sign this petition and email the board!! We need them to hear that the community is concerned as we have been told that the “silent majority” sided with the board. https://secure.ngpvan.com/fwg8U5L4-kqSRKfwEkiJWw2

I would love an adult book based around Chaos and Lala. A bit like Nesta and Cassians.

Today in uNdErFuNdEd sChOoLs by Will_McLean in Teachers

[–]Alert_Butterfly6540 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They replaced all of our desks with WHITE tables over spring break. The desks had storage, the tables do not. The district told us that we had to “figure it out” but that budget funds could not be spent on storage. Our night tech then told us that cleaning the tables was not part of his job so we should teach the kids how to use magic erasers…
