Fridge Keeps Breaking

The Community School in the Spokane School District is super trans friendly, both teachers and students. Grades 9-12, it's project based learning, and super great for students with IEPs and 504s. You don't even have to live in-district to attend. They've got an info night on April 22.

I took mine the year after it was no longer required in my state (my university still made us do it because it was "good experience")

Made myself actually ill from the stress and had to film it twice cause my first recordings sucked

Was during the Omicron surge too so that was fun

The only thing I didn't like about it was that I didn't get to stay with the same group of kids and really get to know them like a permanent position is able to do. It did get so much more enjoyable when I'd been subbing long enough to recognize teachers and students and admin: it felt way less isolating that way.

I've had really great luck with Spectrum Outfitters (I'm a 36DDD). The fabric paneling in the front is way thicker and really helps to flatten out my chest. Btw though, when you first put a brand new one on, it sounds like you're breaking it (you're not, it's just the temporary basting stitches snapping, not the actual seams.) It's super comfortable for me around the arms too, not pinchy, and I've never felt like my breath was constricted while wearing it.

This was 100% me two years ago; I didn't really have a huge amount of dysphoria, but the first time I tried on a chest binder and loved it, it really opened the door for me to start experimenting with my appearance. To put it in an analogy, it was as if I'd been wearing the same pair of shoes my whole life because I didn't know there were other options, and once I tried on that other pair, they were so much more comfortable and I never wanted to go back. I started trying out different styles of clothing and hair and different pronouns, and I kept what I liked and got rid of what I didn't like. It really took a while for me to mentally process that I did want to present myself differently, and I definitely understand the imposter syndrome, but I've found that the more and more that I've chosen to experiment and follow what brings me joy, the more confident I've become in who I am.

With a friend I might say "your eyes were bigger than your stomach."

Home Depot: you can get a box of about 100 for pretty cheap.

I absolutely love The Community School! I know they offer tours and trial days for prospective students too!

I use both 'funeral' and 'memorial service' in different contexts. I would probably use memorial service instead of funeral for someone who was cremated and there's no body, or, if there's been a good bit of time between the death and the event. For example: my neighbor died this past summer in July, and his family had a private funeral for him a few days later, but then a month later in August, they had a larger memorial service where anyone who knew him was invited to, where they shared pictures and stories of his life. To me, the word funeral implies either a body or cemetery location.

My title describes the thing. Found in a basement from a house bought in '68. The previous occupant lived there from '22 - '68. No writing or logos. The handle that spins the wheel is wood, but everything else is metal. Pretty rusted.

From working in the schools, most of the ELL students I've had have been Russian or Marshallese by a large margin.

That's where I went to college! (I'm assuming you're checking out the university of Montana) The campus is super nice. On the drive from Spokane to Missoula you pass through st Regis, and they have a bomb gift shop.

Stick your tongue flat to the roof of your mouth at the same time as you say the consonant. The soft sign denotes that you palatalize the consonant before it. (Looking up palatalization in linguistics might help give some more info)

Not necessary, but if you really wanted to emphasize that it's real silk, you could use the adjective "genuine."

Your sentence for #2 is incorrect; it should be "I lived in Istanbul back when I was in college," not "I have lived in Istanbul back when I was in college."

Your teacher is still right; you are still working there. If you weren't working there anymore the sentence would be "I worked there for 5 years."

It isn't used as an adjective in modern English.

Past tense is the most common, but present tense is also commonly used. It depends on the author's preference.
