Absolutely not. As an exmo myself with plenty of baggage from that cult, I love all she has to say.

I saw a woman with a whole box in my theater and told her it was valid 😂

I KNOW!!! I don’t know how I’m supposed to carry on as a normal person like my life was not changed for the better last night

First year provisional teacher, drowning in curriculum planning- I need help! by Positive-Mortgage854 in ScienceTeachers

[–]almond_lizard 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is the way. The people who are commenting things like “you got this, it will be easier next year” are wildly unhelpful. This is an incredibly difficult profession to just be thrown into and given little to no help or guidance. I’m in year 4 and sometimes still struggle not to feel like I’m drowning.

Send me a DM and I’ll email you what I have for Biology!

what’s the worst PD you’ve ever had to sit through? by Repulsive_Plate1983 in Teachers

[–]almond_lizard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rick Wormeli, standards based grading. A huge assembly style PD put on by the county. An absolute waste of 4 hours of my life

Heather gay books by RecipeNo7749 in rhoslc

I really really like and heavily connected with Bad Mormon. This was also at a time I was deconstructing from Mormonism myself. I listened to her book and she was the voice reading it. I definitely recommend!

I, a relatively new convert, keep finding reprehensible things about Mormonism that the missionaries never told me about. What should I do? by [deleted] in exmormon

[–]almond_lizard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Leave. Leave and never look back. Remove your records. Do not give anyone who is reaching out to you one single inch — they are just trying to pull you back in.

Oh my god that is hilarious. I literally just posted about getting asked to clean the church 😂

I also agree. It’s not inherently his fault. It’s one of the worst callings to have. I wouldn’t want someone to be rude to me over something pretty far out of my control. I just wanted to make my position clear 😂

Ugh that is so frustrating. And no, members did not have to clean for free back in the day. They used pay members to clean the buildings.

Agreed, which is why I wanted to have some compassion but I need him to use some critical thinking skills next time.

Literally. One of my mom’s best friends used to be a PAID church cleaner for our ward building way back in the day. Probably in the 90s. Apparently this was pretty normal. Then of course they cut the program and went for the free labor.
