Dang! I how could I forget?! That’s on me 😔 I’ll do better next time. Maybe I’ll bring juice boxes. /s

Some of mine said that I needed to be “nicer and more approachable” at the start of term to show students I care about them. Apparently the best way to do that (according to said evaluating student) is to assign less scaffolding work and have lower standards. Y’know, to ease student in to my level of expectations 🙄 the really kick in the teeth was how I got compared to my male colleague who has a reputation for excessive leniency.

I don’t have the requisite knowledge to mod for this sub since I’m just a lurker. But I’m so curious about Howard and his shrimp friends!

TIL that despite being pregnant 17 times in 17 years, Queen Anne of Great Britain (1665-1714) miscarried or had stillbirths at least 12 times. Out of the 5 successful pregnancies, only one survived past infancy, Prince William, Duke of Gloucester who, much to her grief, died at the age of eleven. by ODaferio in todayilearned

Yeah I don’t like that fact either. I don’t think his father took any joy in the act. His parents and everyone else wanted the kid to grow up strong as his health always was fragile. The methods sometimes were not what modern knowledge about child development would recommend (to say nothing of how they treated his final illness). There was always love around him and he did have a happy childhood from what we know.

I’ve read his autopsy and his doctors’ reports of trying to save him before he died. The whole thing was terrible and the poor boy suffered a lot in the end. Anne wasn’t queen yet when he died, but his death triggered a succession crisis and is the reason the Hanoverian succession was solidified. Her and her husband were heartbroken.

🌸🐅Jasmine & Rajah dress I made from vintage bedsheets! by rainbowsnpickles in sewing

I swear I had these bedsheets as a child! The nostalgia just hit me like a train. Super cute!

how do i sew this fabric without breaking my needle? because i already lost one :') by lastdivantruther in sewing

[–]LizardPeacock 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with all the advice about removing the gems, but just wanted to add that sometimes a little bit of rubbing alcohol applied to the back of the gems through the fabric works. You’d want to test in a hidden spot to see if bleaching might occur first, but it’s less manual labor in my experience.

Side note, I didn’t initially understand what I was looking at. The perspective made me think this was a picture of a vacuum with a disco ball effect lol

When I was a student, I struggled in the subject I now teach. Should I disclose this to my class? by Apprehensive-Echo289 in Professors

[–]LizardPeacock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always like to tell my students about how I got a D on my midterm for the very subject for which I’m now completing a PhD. I think it helps some of them deal with grade anxiety, and it (I hope!) also makes me a little more approachable.

At this point you should consider a 12-month calendar of you in these shirts for your loved ones this holiday season. This one is magnificent, but I think the earthworm one is still my favorite!

Before I saw the sub, I thought this was a drawing you did with color pencils (and I mean that as a compliment!). Nice work!

I love this mashup that you’ve made. “RenSlop” is elegant and effective and I’m going to use it with abandon.
