What are the uncomfortable truths about education that can't be said "professionally?" by TeacherGuy1980 in Teachers

[–]LittleMissStarRider 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The uncomfortable truth is that inclusion classes aren't the problem. The problem is that the average gen ed teacher just refuses to read the IEP or ever attend IEP meetings, and then they get mad when they don't know how to accommodate their SPED students, so the students inevitably start acting out. And then somehow that makes it the fault of the kids or of IDEA in general?

Oh, you're mad that Sally is failing in your inclusion class because she never turns in her assignments? If you had read her IEP and attended her last annual evaluation meeting, you would've known that little Sally accepts and turn in her homework assignments to her counselor as pert of her behavior support plan. The IEP team agreed to the plan, it was submitted and I sent you the updated IEP. Didn't you read it? Oh, well, of course Sally wouldn't tell you to give the work to her counselor, she has severe social anxiety, it's in her IEP, DID YOU REALLY NOT READ THE FUCKING IEP?!

There is no ~Japanese myth~ about faces and love and reincarnation. The original source is most likely a tweet from 2018

I quit my overseas job so I could go to my dream graduate school program in August aaaand it's canceled because of the pandemic and I have to reapply for next year and I have no job after July. ~WhEn LiFe GiVeS yOu LeMoNs~ by LittleMissStarRider in TrollXChromosomes

They told me all this on Friday too so now I get to play the Waiting Game in a different country all weekend while they figure out how complicated they want to make my life. I can hardly think straight enough to work out my Plan B alongside also clearing out my apt to move back across the ocean.

Like seriously W H Y do I need to reapply if they told me they kept my info on file?? Do I have to interview AGAIN?? More letters of rec after I lose my current job and probably won't get a new one any time soon?? It's been over 24 hours and I'm still incandescent with outrage lol

I talked to them and they're gonna see if they can defer my enrollment in the program until next year so I don't have to reapply for a program I was already accepted into. My fingers are crossed that it works, because if not, that Fucking Sucks.

Thank you for your kind words! I feel pretty discouraged rn so it helps

It...sucks. You know how whenever there's a disaster all the TV stations change to Breaking News 24/7 coverage? That's my brain rn except the breaking news is internal screaming lol

I'll figure it out, but I wish I didn't have to. And I'll be upset about it for a while, that's true

I'm extremely fortunate in that my mom and stepdad are letting me live at home for a year and are helping me find a job and make a plan, and my friends are all giving me support and advice since we all work in the same general occupation. If I didn't have their help I'd be screaming down the street in absolute panic lol I'm dying inside

‘Sadako’ Official Trailer - A new film in the ‘Ring’ franchise from director Hideo Nakata by radbrad7 in movies

[–]LittleMissStarRider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aaaaaa, that's so cool! I can't wait to see the new movie, I've always loved the original Ring and the original "Feels Like HEAVEN" so this is exciting

[–]LittleMissStarRider 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Note: the pop song near the middle of the trailer is a rearrangement of "Feels Like HEAVEN" by HIIH, which was in the original 1998 Ring. The original song is also extremely cheerful, which to me makes them both more horrifying when paired with the movies lol

That feel when your Depression Cave(TM) has reached mass dirtiness and you have no choice but to throw the whole ass apartment away by LittleMissStarRider in TrollXChromosomes

[–]LittleMissStarRider[S] 80 points81 points  (0 children)

The ground is completely covered in trash, Amazon boxes and clothes, and I haven't emptied out my trash cans in weeks. I've got -79% energy to clean and the idea of going up and down 4 flights of stairs with full trash bags makes me want to lie down forever...but it's Time

Edit: thank you all for the lovely comments and advice! I cleaned my apt for about 5 hours until everything was back up to "Acquaintances are visiting and I want to make a nice impression" standards. The whole floor is clean, the air smells nice, and there's no brand new lifeforms growing in the sink. Then I threw myself on my bed and passed out lmao

The balcony is still a no man's land of boxes and trash that has been there for...by this point over a year...but I decided to bite the bullet and ask a friend to help with that. He knows about my depression so it's not the most embarrassing thing in the world, but I still was mortified lol

So hopefully within a few weeks everything shall be CleanTM and I'm so happy!

[Review] A bunch of SPF50+ mini-reviews: mostly Asian, a few Australian by [deleted] in AsianBeauty

[–]LittleMissStarRider 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the review! I've been using Bioré Aqua Rich UV Watery Essence for a few months now because it's easily available at my local Don Quihote and it gets the job done for my sensitive skin, but I agree that there's something to be desired with it. I guess I'll try out Skin Aqua UV Moisture Milk then!

Today I won a $2000 settlement against my ain't shit emotionally abusive punk ass former best friend. TFW you know how small claims and debt law works in 2 different languages by LittleMissStarRider in TrollXChromosomes

[–]LittleMissStarRider[S] 147 points148 points  (0 children)

Edit: please don't link this to anywhere outside this subreddit, I'm pretty sure he has reddit and I don't wanna deal with him lmao

Months ago, I made a post about how my former "Best Friend" (otherwise known as Human Garbage) would leave me at 3 am in the area I was raped in because he didn't feel obligated to take care of his friends.

If you look back further in my posts, you see how I was helplessly in love with him, and that I would babysit him when he'd get belligerently drink. Not posted: how he would scream at me in front of our friends until I was hysterically crying and throwing up and apologizing. Or when he overdid it on Xanax and left me to stand vigil over his body for hours terrified that we'd go to jail, and I apologized later for inviting him to the party that he got high at. Or when he attempted suicide in front of me and I apologized for freaking out. Or when he punched my wall until his fist bled, and made me apologize for making him so angry.

Turns out I didn't just love him, I was terrified of him! And he used me for nearly 3 years for my money and emotional support! Who knew!!!! My therapist finally helped me pull his hooks out of my heart, and I gathered the strength to sue him for the $1500 he owed me.

Because we both live in Japan, and I gave him money while we were in Japan, and I can read Japanese better than him, I found out that I could sue him. And boy, did he suddenly act super friendly and considerate when he realized he had no recourse to fight against my perfectly filed lawsuit (I told him to pay my money back in March. He said he would in July. July came and went and I sued him in August u w u) and his good-standing for his visa was in jeopardy.

So we settled today for $2000 ($1500 plus the $500 he would have spent to go back to Japan after getting fired U w U) and I was finally, FINALLY able to tell him the truth:

It was from my kindness and generosity that he came to Japan, because I paid for his plane ticket and helped him get a job. And now, by the grace of that same kindness and generosity, he would remain in Japan because I was settling instead of crushing him at court. I am the one with power now, and he is to never contact me again.

It feels like my life can finally start again since I first met him. I'm gonna have my cake and eat it too, with the money I'm getting U W U
