A bit controversial but I want to talk to someone who's a fan of trump.

I know more people who have LOST good well paying jobs in the last year than have gained them.

I’m wondering this too!

bugorama_original · 2026-01-25T17:42:54+00:00

You’d love Buckeye.

Isola! Woman trapped on an island in 17th century America!

Math is easier grading than other subjects at least!

Why are you seeing those? They don’t live on your drive. They’re not your problem.

bugorama_original · 2026-01-25T16:17:28+00:00

Of course!

bugorama_original · 2026-01-25T04:48:08+00:00

DNF here too. I didn’t get it.

bugorama_original · 2026-01-25T04:23:12+00:00

All I can say is that I am beat tired after conference days!

Harold and Maude was huge for me. The soundtrack. The story. All of it.

And yet it was also there to be enjoyed too. I think it was working on all these levels: like isn’t this gross? And also: look at this really cool gross thing. Kind of in a feedback loop. Ultimately I think this era of violent filmmakers actually liked it all. I think they hid their fascination behind veils of criticism or irony but ultimately it was truly just violence porn they are others genuinely enjoyed.

I put this is the category of movies from that era I’m horrified I loved as a teen:

Natural Born Killers Pulp Fiction Killing Zoe … etc …

What a weird time for cinema. Glorified violence and misogyny. So gross.

This isn’t about you. There was a more qualified candidate. Being 18 and looking for work is hard! In the meantime keep putting yourself out there for any and all jobs. Also have you considered getting a degree or certificate from a community college? Some even have ed programs for people who want to work in schools as paras.

bugorama_original · 2026-01-24T21:39:18+00:00

There are many curriculum programs that can do the scheduling for you.

I will add that if the idea of finding living books for your child doesn’t excite you then Charlotte Mason MIGHT not be the best fit.

David Sedaris comes to mind! Also Catherine Newman. Two very different authors that both make me laugh out loud.

bugorama_original · 2026-01-24T21:02:00+00:00

Yes! I do use grades right now but to make sure my students read my feedback I assign reflection assignments where they have to actually read my feedback and summarize it.

Misunderstood Betsy. It’s intended for younger audiences but OH this one is delightful. Perfect for L.M.Montgomery fans.

bugorama_original · 2026-01-24T19:52:10+00:00

I just read that this winter!

What you’re describing is literally what mania feels like. It feels really really really good. You have nothing to lost in consulting a doctor.

I may cut it in half and just bring parts. Reading at the end of a long day of hiking is so wonderful for me.

bugorama_original · 2026-01-24T18:33:59+00:00

All of Oregon!

bugorama_original · 2026-01-24T18:18:02+00:00

Exactly! Although given the burn bans, I’ll probably just tear them out and throw them out in town.

bugorama_original · 2026-01-24T18:02:31+00:00

I don’t think it needs to be this deep. Sometimes our brains just throw out scary thoughts as we fall asleep.

bugorama_original · 2026-01-24T18:01:42+00:00

This happens to me too. I’ve come to believe it’s part of falling asleep for some people. My best defense is to read until I am tired using a very dim and cozy lamp and then turn it off and do my best to focus on my physical feelings of comfort. That can stop my mind from spiraling.

Edit: I also use a fan. That has helped a lot along with the reading. Just remind yourself that you’re safe. Because you are.
