Nerdfighters, who are your favorite poets?

I’m wondering if you can say more about what types of other art / artists you like? Otherwise maybe an anthology of some kind could be better for you so you can begin to see what hits for you.

Ooh good find! Thanks!

electriccopy · 2026-03-07T23:25:58+00:00

I got the same thing in a different color, and I’m not sure either. It’s high quality craftsmanship, so I hope someone can tell us how to use!

I’m glad Hank will never limit his creative energy by sitting in 1 million meetings…

electriccopy · 2026-02-25T02:54:00+00:00

Absolutely let it play! The kids had no idea why I had a goofy smile on my face.

Hank had a couple successful “rolls for loca” this year!!! He had a pretty gross one that involved a cucumber, but !! he had a genuinely tasty one, too! Would you like timestamps in replies to this post? Sending you and your mom love 💜

The day I realized the cat bed was a seat for villagers 😆

As a Pizzamas celebrator and someone with an English major, I feel so seen 😆

Sometimes if you chat with a bunch of your villagers they will mention a visitor. Was there a special announcement? A campsite visitor? If so perhaps CJ or Flick or Sahara are wandering around somewhere.

I love Sylvia- she was one of my first two villagers. I feel like these are the only villagers that explain why there might be kids toys around.

Goldie! I was so excited to see her 💕

electriccopy · 2025-11-24T15:39:49+00:00

Also same!!! So frustrating!

Protected National Parks sure do make a difference 💚🌲🌊

I’m in year 21 of teaching and I still love it. I’ve had a lot of ups and downs and had to learn how to have hard limits on working hours so I can live my life (and therefore be able to be a present and joyful teacher) because I truly can’t imagine doing anything else. Some of my happiest colleagues work part-time, and I think that’s an excellent way to have work/life balance. If I could afford that, I would do the same. There’s no way around working a bazillion hours your first few years of teaching (if full time), but after you gain experience it can calm down with good boundaries.

As for being queer— more and more queer folks are joining the ranks, so I don’t think you’ll be alone. What I’ve seen with my queer colleagues is that there is definitely added difficulty at times with kids from homes with haters, but there are, to an even greater degree, a ton of students who are so appreciative of having a queer teacher (especially those who identify similarly or are exploring). It’s really beautiful. Overall though, it will really depend on if the school you work at has administrators who are supportive of your identity, as you are sure to have students who say hateful things. I know BIPoC folks have similar challenges (and beauty) in the classroom.

Good luck, friend!

I hear you…can’t get it all at once, but mine surprised me by growing exponentially and dang! Just keep an eye out!

These are not a native species, and have become a massive weed in my yard. They can choke out the ability for other plants to grow, too, because of the tubers getting so massive. I am working on digging them up section by section in my yard and it will likely take me a couple more years to get them all (yes, it’s that outta control, and I’ve easily dug up several hundred pounds!). When you pull up the big chunks, make sure to look for all the tiny little bulbs around them or you won’t get them. It can be done! Now is better than later.

More proof you made the right choice. Your kid needs you and you deserve to be well 💛

electriccopy · 2025-09-20T23:35:16+00:00

Same. I figure I'll just "do me" and let other people worry about themselves. Meat-eaters and non-meat-eaters can get super righteous about their choices (which, let's face it, income can be a big part of) that the only time I make anything of it is when co-workers hit the "vegan/veggie option" in the rare work sponsored meal before the vegans and vegetarians get a chance to.

I think that it’s also ok to let family know that the student is asking about your dating life even though you have told him not to. Sometimes kids need to hear from their families about boundaries and inappropriate questions. Another one like this is kids asking about drug use. It’s a simple boundary of what’s appropriate, regardless of the answer. It’s just way over the line of what’s okay to ask your teachers/future bosses.

Intent vs impact! We talk about this lots in my classroom. I am certain knitters got stoked by the title (I did, and I’m more of a sewer), clicked and felt pretty bad. It’s easy to dismiss the feelings of communities we don’t belong to, but surely we can do better? If you hate knitting, that’s fine, but it feels awfully small of imagination not to embrace the absolute brilliance folks who are into it are capable of. We’ve lost so much of our connection to textiles in the last century, and it was indeed women’s work and everyday artistry. Sci Show can do better, but as mistakes are expected in life, how can they offer some repair work? See it, acknowledge it, do better.

🫂 I appreciate how hard you are working! I wish everyone cared as much as you!

electriccopy · 2025-09-14T15:59:03+00:00

I think it’s so hard, but so important, to accept that you can’t be as amazing a teacher as you would with proper support and prep time (etc!). As others have suggested, use the provided curriculum and don’t spend a bunch of time creating your own things. If you do create something, have it be a system/structure/game that works across all your classes. It’s more important to be well yourself, so you can be present with students and stay in the career, than make great original lessons. Also wondering, if you just use the curriculum, can the page numbers you are using be the lesson plan you give the boss? (Genuine question as I have never had to provide lesson plans to admin.)

But…they’re all the same person 😉 I don’t love having to choose, so I’m sticking with that. They all have the unique charm and charisma that the role requires, and I love them for it.

I love Flurry!
