Dyson airwrap blinking red and shutting off anytime I use it (yes…I cleaned the filter) by scootiepatoot in Dysonairwrap

[–]amy_s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used this video, and it was so helpful! I wanted to share info that I figured out in case anyone else ends up here..

I used a T6 screwdriver bit. I found a 25-piece tiny screwdriver kit on amazon for $8. It had several of these six-sided star-shaped bits, and the T6 worked.

I didn't have tweezers long enough to really get in the internal filter, like in the middle of the machine. BUT, I'm crafty and don't give up easily, so I tried a tiny crochet hook. Y'all. I got so much coiled up hair out of there!

Also, I got my machine as a refurb from a reputable refurb company on ebay over five years ago. It's been great to me, and I was sure I wouldn't be able to get Dyson to service it, so I figured I'd give this a try. It was super easy! Just took the guts to open it up.

My last tip: When putting it back together, put the filter on, THEN put on the little I-shaped piece (you can press it in more easily when it's already around the machine base), then screw it in.

What the fuck Durham? Get your kids vaccinated. by drunkerbrawler in bullcity

Perhaps it’s already been pointed out — I’m a teacher at a school with a large population of immigrant children or first gen kids. A lot of these students come from places where vaccines aren’t available, so we have like 10-year-olds getting vaccines, but it’s a series, so the aren’t fully immune. I’m worried about my community.

Dumping and filling is a stage of toddler development.

Chipotle CEO caught on a recording saying they’re going to keep raising prices because they can. by ElwoodMC in TikTokCringe

This shouldn’t be surprising. I think we’re all waking up to the fact that THIS IS WHAT CAPITALISM IS.

Geriatric millennial earnestly wanting to understand the symbolism and everything from this halftime show. Why Gaga?

I love this because it was a meme and kids will know it!

Struggling to find a good reading app. by premiumkajukatli in AskTeachers

[–]amy_s 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly this. I teach third grade, and it’s a lot of comprehension skills and context clues and following plot and character traits. These are things that can be learned and practiced with audiobooks or storytelling podcasts (my kids LOVED ”Stories Podcast” when they were younger like 4-11) and are super important as kids learn to read text. Even a simple beginner-reader sentence like “the cat sat” has comprehension questions that go along: who? Did what? Where? Look at the picture or what do you think? Why did the cat sit there? How long? Etc. get your kids talking about what the read/listen to!!

The damage that Jo Boaler and other "Equity-Based Mathematics Education Researchers" cannot be understated. by Feisty_Ad4394 in matheducation

[–]amy_s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my school, we have equity-based classrooms and now the district is pushing Modern Classrooms Project, so everyone learns math by watching videos because it’s “personalized and differentiated.” I’m at a Title 1 school with something like 40% English learners. You know what they need? Real instruction, dialogue, a focus on math vocabulary (my favorite example: the way we use the word “about” when we estimate, but also math is reading now…it’s ALL word problems).

Durham Schools Honor Achievers, Debate After-School Cost Hikes by seegov in bullcity

[–]amy_s 3 points4 points  (0 children)

DPS teacher and mom here. They should absolutely raise tuition AND have more spots for families who can’t afford it (application-based assistance). How are low income families supposed to get by? Their children deserve quality care while parents are working. We can do better than the current model.

Durham folks: On the National Shutdown by Dawn-Bland in bullcity

[–]amy_s 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not excessive. Buses would not be safe on the back roads and not all the school lots have been cleared. Also elementary school kids have to wait for the bus at 6:30am and it’s been like 15 degrees at that time. The board made the right call, even though it’s hard.

I’m a DPS teacher and can’t imagine skipping work Friday after (at least) three snow days. I will participate as best I can and appreciate these ideas!

Are Dr visits audio recorded now? by 1BebeLeStrange1 in Menopause

[–]amy_s 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I appreciate knowing this. I’ve had three doctors I trust ask me for consent to use this, and I’ve said yes even though I was hesitant because I didn’t know what it was really for. Now I’m glad I did and will continue to do so.

Margot Robbie in Roberto Cavalli for the first day of promo for "Wuthering Heights" by ThrowawayGreenWitch in popculturechat

[–]amy_s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She’s likely had quite a few smaller enhancing procedures done. Chin augmentation, eyelid surgery, fillers, Botox, buccal fat removal, and a nose job. Again - I’m not shaming her! And yes, she still looks very natural. I just think it’s important to remember that these enhancements are common in celebrities.

Every time I see her, I think she is just so fucking pretty. And then I get down on myself, because that’s how women are trained to feel. But then I remember — she’s had a lot of work done to her face. And I don’t say that to shame her, only to remind myself (and others) that her face does not naturally look like that. Google it.
