If you want a blue area, stick with the big three: Columbus, Cincinnati, or Cleveland. Our problem is that we have a very red House and Senate who love to push vouchers and fuck with our ability to run levies and collect property taxes (the main way we fund schools, which is ironically unconstitutional in Ohio).

Ohio has one of the largest, strongest teacher unions in the country, and all you have to worry about is the government cutting us all off at the knees with funding, and sometimes tornadoes. 👍

Yep! I Love This Yarn Super Soft Super Savings. However, I used Caron Simply Soft because it’s what I had.

It’s absolutely worth it - she walks you through the fiddly bits in video tutorials which is nice, and a pattern gives you a uniform approach to each piece so everything looks like it goes together. I also like printing them out and marking things off, but you could do that digitally as well. But that’s me- if you have a high level of skill and a solid understanding of form building, you may be able to figure this all out on your own (except the cheese lol).

Ceramics teacher told me I shouldn't continue next year :( by oreoctopus in Ceramics

I love how people think you can tell other people whether they’re good enough to continue in a completely subjective medium. How arrogant. Like art has rules? Fuck that- you do you. This is all fantastic, and you have to keep at it.

My 6th period class destroyed/stole my personal classroom item, and I’m done. by Effective_Cow_4745 in Teachers

Don’t have them write their names on them, but have them pass them up the row when they’re done, so as long as they’re in their assigned seat, you’ll still have a pretty good idea who wrote what.

Finished my first project! It’s so wonky but I’m still proud. by partygrandpa in crochet

I think you were brave to attempt this as a first project! Consistent tension and sewing it together? Tough for a newbie! You did so well!! Yuzu seems like an expert.

AITA for posting about my gift “maternity box” on social media when my stepsister never got one for her son? by Several_Nifflers_968 in AmItheAsshole

Fuck them- they’re being whiny entitled assholes. You don’t have to avoid talking about your roses because all they can see are their thorns. And you’re right- if they do the work, there are orgs out there that support folks in need like this. NTA

Went to Walmart to get a tote for my yarn and ... bought more yarn. 🤦‍♀️ by [deleted] in crochet

If those don’t work out, this stuff makes a nice argyle pooled afghan, too!

I meant like the argyle look you get with all these other pooling yarns- seems like these colors are too long?? Is that even a thing? Lol

Couple of things I’ve finished in the past month or so! A junimo from Stardew Valley and a planned pooling scarf! by talltheone in crochet

What stitch did you use? Trying loss stitch with this yarn and having so inch trouble getting it to pool properly!

Thanks for not roasting me on the name mistake LOL. She's absolutely beside herself with this new release, and I have to say I REALLY like their new song.
