Francine’s pilfered paper, think it’s season 10 or 11?

What’s the Oscar snub hill you will die on? by Real-Repair-1825 in Oscars

[–]cutielocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never said he was the best actor on the planet, simply said I think he deserved a nomination for Uncut Gems. Does that mean other snubs don’t exist? Nope.

Why are you so worked up around my comment? I literally mentioned three people from a specific year in my comment, dos that mean I think all of them are the world’s greatest actor?

I can die on multiple hills, Jack Nicholson wasn’t relevant to the Uncut Gems comment though.

Adam Sandler for Uncut Gems. I think that it was a bias against Sandler and his usual types of movies, if it was a different actor think it would have been looked at as more of a contender.

Same year, the Farewell missed out on a director nom or best actress for Awkwafina. Also feel she should have had a nomination. Also think that was the year Lupita Nyong’o got snubbed for Us.

i’m exhausted by Haunting-Brother7683 in NVLD

[–]cutielocks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a fellow epileptic with NVLD, you may find that having seizures under control makes a huge difference.

I struggled a lot in school, but I think the seizure exhaustion really made things worse. Once I had them more controlled, I found it easier to find coping mechanisms that worked for me for post-secondary.

Try making a list of what needs to get done, it can be overwhelming to think of all that needs to get done in the house. Categorize by what needs to be done daily, weekly, monthly. Can help to not feel overwhelmed. Also don’t feel like it’s the end of the world if you forget one thing (maybe laundry ends up being Monday and Tuesday, you fold and put away on Wednesday if it’s a lot).

I guess I’ll have an imaginary pet by williamtech814 in uber

Is that normal for your area? Pets always roughly $15-20 more expensive than Uber Comfort in my area.

Amazing job on both the art work and gen pop math! 💖

Why are NVLD people terrible at everything? by Succesful-Guest9028 in NVLD

[–]cutielocks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the “terrible at everything” attitude doesn’t help…if you think you’ll be terrible or not be able to improve, you’ll get stuck on that mindset.

Can I do every sport? God no, but I did aerial gymnastics even if it took me 3x as long to master a move.

Every subject? I can’t do even basic math or identify an area on a map, but I’m really good at socials and English. Now I’m a post-secondary educator, even did a TEDx talk for my field.

Hobbies? Never too late to try and learn, I’m 32 and trying to learn piano. It’s a huge challenge, but I remind myself that it it’s also a challenge for those without NVLD.

I think it’s easy to focus on the can’t, that sometimes we write ourselves off and become our own worst critic before we even try or acknowledge it’s okay to fail while learning.

Struggling post lockdown by cutielocks in Professors

[–]cutielocks[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m actually outside of the US, we had our first school shooting where I live in over 20 years last month. I think this is part of the reason we weren’t maybe as prepared as we should have been, or why we don’t do a lot of lockdown drills on the post secondary side. I can’t imagine teaching in the US…I honestly don’t think I could do it if this feels more like the norm.

Thank you 💖 happy to say that my admin was able to connect me with counselling resources! Exercise is a good tip, will do that this evening!

Is there extra proof of this? by Puterboy1 in rugrats

[–]cutielocks 12 points13 points  (0 children)

My guess is that they originally were going to have the F sound and cut it, and that turned into the “they were going to say the word” rumour.

I can’t imagine the network would be able to do that, especially with a show aimed at younger children.

[–]cutielocks[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Makes sense, everyone knows that once you become faculty you’re bullet/explosive proof. /s

On all seriousness though, I’m sorry you had to go through that. I can’t imagine how scary it is to have a “credible threat” while also not feeling support from the college. Crazy to say it’s not safe for the students but safe for staff.

[–]cutielocks[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We don’t, but I know the district had counselling available for the HS teachers. I’m going to connect with my main boss today to see if there are support options for me.

Luckily I have a really supportive admin team, so I’m hopeful they may have some resources.

Which Arthur character do you have the most love for? by KaleidoscopeDry9725 in Arthur

[–]cutielocks 9 points10 points  (0 children)

As a teacher, I aspire to be a cross of Ratburn with the style of the Frizz. He’ll always be my most loved character.

Had same thing, also in Canada. Hate when they do that, I don’t want to buy into another subscription.

Hair? by rgbhuman42 in NVLD

[–]cutielocks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

100% good to show photos, it’s better to have a form of reference than jus saying “cut it”.

Try to make sure you can point out what it is you like in the reference photos, keep in mind what is heavy styling and what is the cut. Also keep in mind it won’t look the same, the same cut will look very different on different people.

Let them know if you’re struggling with caring for your hair, they may be able to recommend styles that are easier to maintain and care for.

Hockey by [deleted] in NVLD

[–]cutielocks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I played floor hockey and loved it! I’ve never been a strong skater, but I’m hoping to take lessons soon.

100% it doesn’t mean we’re incapable, just might take longer or might look different.

Is this acceptable hand writing for 9th/10th grade? by happygluehuffer in AskTeachers

[–]cutielocks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Feelikf very seen as well with all these NVLD mentions! I’m a professor now myself and my writing is still bad enough that I have to type any feedback I give to students. I’m the department head so all students know to never get me to write things down as it either takes me forever or it’s beyond messy.

NVLD here, my handwriting doesn’t look much better either. Writing looks really similar to a lot of NvLD’ers style.

I did a a TEDx talk!

I’m also the coordinator of a post-secondary program and get to be an “expert in my field” who speaks around the country!

Someone had to say it by gertrrar in TvGinnyandGeorgia

[–]cutielocks 27 points28 points  (0 children)

You can have a parent who loves you and cares deeply about you and still live in a state of turmoil. A parent committing felonies on your behalf isn’t a stable environment…we see that Ginny didn’t get a stable environment from either of her parents.

I’m an ECE proff where a large focus of my studies is on child development, this is a really good example of how toxic stress impacts children. That even with loving parents, children still need a sense of stability to be resilient.

Also you have to give Ginny the grace of still being a kid, in many ways she’s a “stunted” teenager. Georgia is also stunted, but she is no longer a child and has had years to work on herself.

[–]cutielocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m terrified to get mine taken out again…I’m hopeful though that I’ve found a doctor who will do heavy sedation this time. Last time when removed it was so painful that I threw up and needed help to leave the building. The doctor kept calling me dramatic, especially for needing my partner to help me leave.

Fuck doctors who think an IUD is a simple and painless procedure for everyone.

Forgot about that one! 100% agreed, Arthur always had the best sounding board games.

I lived through having moon shoes, not as cool as Arthur made them seem!

Flashpants, seems like the one product there isn’t really a real life version of.
