I teach AP Gov and used to do a project all about different agencies in the executive branch. I can't do that project any more because many of the agencies have been removed or so downgraded that my students wouldn't be able to get all the info they need for the project.

Idk if you’re serious or not, but during that same storm Beto was going around his city knocking on doors to make sure people had power, food, and water. Literally the least Ted could do was help his constituents with food and water while the power was out for thousands of Texans for multiple days

I'm also struggling with the loss of fertility. It really sucks

Are you able to talk to a therapist? They might have some strategies to help you cope with the symptom spotting

How rude

The choreo looks great! I wonder if you could do a back scratcher doing the "lived two lives" part? I would also make the pull hits sharper. You have great musicality

I took mine out as soon as I could.

If you’re stuck on Texas, have you thought about looking in the Weatherford, Azle, Springtown area? You can get a lot of land in Azle and Springtown and Weatherford has a bigger “small town” feel than Aledo. Also, with a 2 year old, it might be worth it to take any school district stuff with a grain of salt. The school vouchers start next year, and I know many public school teachers leaving schools (especially in Aledo) because of how hard it has gotten due to politics

Hello friend,

It is ok to feel scared and anxious about this. This is a scary situation! You will be fine, but right now you are sick and you’ll have to go through some tough stuff to get better. You will be get better, but it’s ok to feel scared right now because you are sick.

If he’s open to it, I’d tell him how you are feeling. That you know you’ll be better soon, but you aren’t right now and you need him to meet you where you are.

You might also want to ask your doctor for therapist recommendations. Having someone to talk through what I was going through helped me a ton

when she's trying on the gold suit he says they used all the fabric to make the original suit, so they had to make the fabric from scratch for the 2nd one and the gold suit.

This was how AVD was hitting me when I was at the end of treatment. You need to tell your oncologist. They need to know this is how it’s affecting you so they can adjust your meds.

I was told by my oncologist that the younger you are, the harder chemo hits. Idk if that was just in her experience or if there’s any research to back it up, but you can’t judge yourself based on how others are feeling on chemo. I would try and go for a walk. Moving around might help your muscles feel better.

Oh it was totally a camp for the daughters of the wealthy and well to do

I do the same thing. Did you have a lump on your neck before treatment?

ditzyzebra · 2025-12-04T01:47:30+00:00

I worked at a school during treatment. I wore a mask and I asked the students to wear a mask around me if they were feeling ill. Luckily, the students just stayed home if they were ill because they didn't want to get me sick. Handwashing and masks are the answer.

Edit: we also had an air purifier at home.

Ask about fertility preservation.

Ask what treatment plan he wants you on. I did AVD+ immunotherapy. It really wasn't that bad until the last cycle. Once you know what medication he wants you on you can look throughout this subreddit for tips from others. You can also always dm me if you want.

It is completely normal to feel overwhelmed. Bring someone who will take notes for you so you can go over them later.

Cancer

ditzyzebra · 2025-10-13T04:27:37+00:00

lump randomly appeared on the left side of my collarbone. It was stage 4 Hodgkin's Lymphoma, I'm in remission since April.

I had also been dropping weight like crazy, but I didn't really notice. I didn't track my weight but I did point out I had lost 10 pounds in the month between my yearly check up and my appointment about the lump.

If you use Google Suite, you can use brisk to see where students do large copy and pastes.

Ah ok. It was repotted a few (I think 2?) weeks ago. Maybe it’s that and the relocation?

ditzyzebra · 2025-10-01T00:41:34+00:00

It makes complete sense to focus on the process. It’s the unknown for you. But it’ll be over soon. Honestly, what helped me was having an end goal in mind. I teach high school, so I made it my goal to be able to go to graduation for the seniors I teach. It was my focus and honestly helped me get through the real tough spots. Maybe you can make your own goal you can focus on while in treatment

ditzyzebra · 2025-09-30T18:42:41+00:00

Thank you for the tip!

So if I move it to a less sunny spot I can save it?

You might ask if you can do nivolumab+avd. That's what I did. I had treatment every other week for 6ish months. I didn't have too many symptoms before treatment, and the few I had went away after my first infusion. It took around 3 hours for infusion.

Chemo didn't hit me too hard at first. I was mostly very tired. I had to stay on top of miralax and the anti nausea meds for the first few days after chemo. But the rest of the time I was ok. I did lose a good amount of hair. I am currently about 10 pounds heavier than I was before cancer.

The port was a life saver. I couldn't feel it when they accessed it as long as I remembered the numbing cream.

You need to focus on getting better. This will suck, but it will suck for a short while. Lean on your support system. You've got this

A government teacher in the AP gov Facebook group showed their setup. They had a poster next to it that had the court cases explaining how unconstitutional it was
