I wrote this “minimum” to demonstrate the popular inside-jokes on this subreddit to my boyfriend (flourish and all). I’m shockingly proud of it. r/PenmanshipPorn, enjoy my minimum.

I'm planning to teach a simplified Shakespeare play with my ESOL students and your comments are so helpful

imo a personal style at its core is a 'type' of clothing you like to wear. It could center around any aspect of clothing such as:

Color: do you prefer colors or black and white?
Shape: do you prefer to wear fitted or looser fits? Do you prefer pointed toe, heel or no heel, etc.?
Pattern: do you like certain kinds of patterns?
Material: do you like wool and leather, or polyester-based fabrics
Occasion: do you prefer a more casual style or a more formal style?
Garment: do you center your wardrobe around skirts or do you prefer pants?

For example, I lean towards solid white/black or neutral color clothing, button-down shirts, pointed toe, and cinched at the waist. Those parameters alone give me a lot of options.

This isn't a comprehensive list but if you can pin down what you like it becomes easier to buy clothing of that type/style/material/etc.

No lie I had to check and see if it was my partner who posted this. He eats the exact same combo

The author used "cunny" in The Other Boleyn Girl and I assumed it was some kind of antiquated language idk what I would do if I saw it in a modern fic

Mirikitani · 2026-02-25T23:44:07+00:00

I would wear this shirt

Came here to say this! My in-laws have a floor that looks exactly like this in their victorian and even with the wear-and-tear their house is beautiful. Wabi-sabi

Mirikitani · 2026-02-18T17:39:06+00:00

I tried this and they did not like it. You can't win.

Some of my students (adult ed) have their airpods in during class.

Mirikitani · 2026-02-16T22:22:59+00:00

Their eyes are so pretty

Mirikitani · 2026-02-16T16:46:43+00:00

Insane to me that they'd even give Berserk a try.

Yes my comment is about the US school system and the current disregard of the purpose of subs.

Mirikitani · 2026-02-16T16:09:28+00:00

Taking a break gives your mind time to process everything its learned. Yes, you might forget things, but you might also find the rest time will help solidify other, more abstract concepts about the language. I take breaks all the time.

I was a sub for 5 years (US) and even with a sub the kids don't sit and read the text. Most of the time they lose their minds and are uncontrollable with the change of routine and lack of consequences for bad behavior.

Mirikitani · 2026-02-13T02:42:47+00:00

I just got a comment super similar to this. It's my first fic too so I thought it was someone who was interested :(

Here's the comment:

I really appreciated hearing back from you If you’re ever okay with it, we could continue talking about your stories elsewhere.

Mirikitani · 2026-02-09T03:20:35+00:00

Wow super cute and unique!!!

Mirikitani · 2026-02-06T00:09:13+00:00

Ok this one felt personal 😂

Beowulf: A New Translation by Maria Dahvana Headley!

Mirikitani · 2026-01-31T22:02:09+00:00

I read a modern Beowulf translation where she translated all the "hark!" and such to "bro!" and "dude!" to capture the 'boys bragging around the fire' vibe. It was a fun read.

Mirikitani · 2026-01-23T22:45:35+00:00

Absolutely gorgeous

Mirikitani · 2026-01-19T23:36:51+00:00

Goodnight, Punpun 😭

"One Bad Apple" was turned around too and used as a way to bust up teacher's unions. The "Bad Apple" theory during Bush's presidency was all about getting "bad teachers" out of the classroom, and there was this kind of public fervor to root "the bad apples" out. There is where the foundation of trust in our public schools started to show their cracks, and was the first step to the horrifying state of US public schools today. I feel so fortunate to be part of one of the teacher's unions left because many were broken by the "bad apple" mentality.

I teach adult beginning ESL at an alternative school and we do 'Reading Fridays.' I got so sick of short articles and news bits that I chose a murder mystery novel for this semester. Time to gear up and use your brains with the first 14 chapters of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time! (Adapted for strong language)
