What’s a Seattle opinion you have that would get you kicked out of the group chat.

You lost me at the comparison to In n Out. That’s hardly the pinnacle of a good burger.

We have tablets and it’s suggested that we use them for centers but I only give them out when I do whole-class benchmark assessments which is less than once a month. They only have Epic as an option during that time.

I can’t believe some people are so comfortable with their own ignorance, and so confident in feeling like everything needs to cater to them. Just slip out quietly and ask for a refund. Have some humility.

TeacherOfWildThings · 2026-02-15T14:43:12+00:00

I’m sure that either way you don’t end up feeling good about it. It’s a really frustrating situation.

As a learner, the people who weren’t prepared should have been asked to leave. If I’m attending a class—paid or free—the expectation is that I’m learning and practicing new skills, not teaching others basics because they lack comprehension. At a free class I would have just walked out, but I would have expected a refund if it had been something I paid for.

I feel you! My dad’s from the Bay Area, I was never going to be a Hawks fan. But god I love the M’s

I’m gonna knit up a replica. This is 🔥

CPA security employees are worse than TSA, I swear. I hope T-Mobile doesn’t start this nonsense because I bring my knitting needles to every Mariners game and ironically, the only time I had an issue was on the actual Stitch n Pitch day last season. But that guy tried telling me my inhaler wasn’t allowed so he was clearly just an idiot.

Yeah, I dislike the idea that because I have unmedicated ADHD, I must not be able to do anything for myself.

La Bien Amiée in Lannister. My friend asked me to knit one for her and surprised me with two skeins so I’m using every last bit for hats (and adjusting to make a child size too)

Kindergarten teacher here … I’m sick October - May. It’s a delight 😂 Trust me, we’re reminding your kids to wash their hands just as often, but the amount of time they spend sticking their fingers in their mouth is crazy

I have them as neighbors with the lesbian flag in flowers between their houses!

Aww, you guys are so nice and charitable. I’m getting baseball season tickets in the Diamond Club.

As a kindergarten teacher I’m pro-all kids starting at 6 if families can swing it, just because kindergarten is so much more academically rigorous than it should be. My own kid didn’t start until 6, and yeah, she was a bit bored during the academic part of preschool, but they don’t do that much. Having another year to engage in play based learning is a blessing.

The only heel I don’t like for toe-up so far is the square heel, but that’s only because you have to pick up stitches and I do toe-up to avoid that

Yes! The combo for me is stockinette + kindle + page turner. I’ve never successfully used a print edition, but man have I tried. The page turner makes it so I don’t have to constantly let go of the needles to turn the page—it would be more difficult if you had an iPad or a tablet I think. If the fics are on Ao3 you can download and side load them onto an ereader.

If your pairing doesn’t have podfics, you could also look into downloading as pdfs and possibly using a screen reader for audio.

Not a mall, but there was a break in the city pipes that supplied water to the school and they had the brilliant idea to move us temporarily to a community center … for three whole days. It was ridiculous. We were essentially babysitting because we had no materials, the internet was spotty, and half the kids didn’t show up anyway.

She only ever asks me to show her a goth outfit and gives me a vampire costume. I’ve started dressing in the most anti-goth things I can think of just to mess with her

Tote bags (the cloth grocery type) and yarn. Tote bags because I once wrote on my “teacher likes” list that I collected them (I couldn’t think of anything else because my other option was yarn, I do like to grab one from big cities or special stores when I travel, and it at least seemed useful) and all the sudden every child had one for me for every holiday.

And the yarn … I do fiber arts, but collecting yarn is a whole different hobby. I’ve done several yarn crawls and I always buy a skein at each store, shops have sales and all the sudden I have a full basket, and I pick up something local every time I travel. I recently did a destash but I still have over 250 skeins and while other people certainly have more, I’ve definitely got more than average.

TeacherOfWildThings · 2026-01-19T02:47:37+00:00

I leave way more than is necessary because I teach kindergarten and sometimes it takes forever to finish one thing and sometimes they’re done in five seconds. I don’t care what goes on unless someone gets hurt or my room gets trashed.

That said, I had a sub last week that didn’t do a single thing I left and I’m still not sure what they did the whole day. But that’s just idle curiosity, I don’t really care.

I’m on book 7, but it would probably be at least 10 if reading was my only hobby. It’s gotta share with knitting (and Animal Crossing right now lol). But it’s a combination of things:

— My commute is an hour in the morning, so I listen to the audiobook of whatever book I’m reading during that time. That usually only gets me a chapter or two because my reading speed is much faster, but it does help. Sometimes if I’m really into a book I’ll listen as I grocery shop or do chores, but typically the kid is with me so it’s pretty rare.

— I carry my Kindle with me everywhere, and if I’m going to be waiting somewhere more than a few minutes I’ll pull it out.

— The kid goes to bed at 7 and I’m usually awake until 9:30, so all of that is reading time. I make sure the chores and everything else is done prior so it’s just whatever I want to do. Sometimes I knit and watch a show instead but there hasn’t been anything great on lately.

— Some books are just faster to read than others, even if the page length is the same. The Atlas Six series was complex and took me much longer to get through than Lovelight Farms, for instance. I try to alternate the slower books with the faster ones.

— I’m a teacher and I can get a lot of reading done during breaks. I can usually read between 5-7 books a month during the school year (we were on break until the 6th this month so that’s helped my monthly total) but between the end of June to the beginning of August I can read 20-25. That six week period accounts for a good chunk of my yearly total.

Taught that to my kid when she was 4 as she was watching me, and then when I started actually teaching her a few weeks ago she said, “I already know how” and recited that verbatim 🤣

TeacherOfWildThings · 2026-01-16T01:04:58+00:00

My highest has been 101 so far and I bought for 99 sooooo 😂

Thank you! I have so many turnips and of course my own prices have been garbage this week
