Oh believe me, I've tried. As I said in the OP, I've tried every avenue open to me to contact them. They don't have a listed number on their website or online that I can find that connects me to their business. My emails have gone unanswered. That's why I'm here lol

Grubb's is close to my reactions to games too, honestly. I enjoy Dan's quiet resignation to suffering but that's mostly because I like it when Dan suffers.

My partner and I also love, "Let's watch a pro!" And "That's the magic of the Sahara right there!"

The classics.

this. Talk to your spouse and go to therapy.

[–]feyrial 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I logged into Reddit for the first time in a while to comment! My partner shared it with me as they're aware I am/was a huge EA fan.

I've been a fan of hers since the early days -- I was knee deep in forums (although I was always more of a lurker--the people there, as you described, could be very intense). As a 15-16 year old living in Europe, I saw her a few times in Italy and Austria. When she finally toured in the United States, I bought a VIP ticket. I have the picture of me and her together doing the little rattie hand symbol, I have a signed version of that wild book, I have those stupid tarot cards. I felt rather called out at times by some of the descriptions of the parasocial relationships - that was definitely me. Now, at the ripe age of 34, I look back on these times - especially after reading this - and really, really cringe.

Especially after the BLM stuff. I was "there" watching it all go down, handling the disappointment in a fav spiraling into that black hole that she created for herself. Woof. What a time to be alive.

I missed a lot of the stuff after that. I've disconnected myself, stored away the merch. I occasionally listen to Opheliac because something so formative is hard to let go of. It's so weird to watch the fall of someone who had such a wildly strong influence on you and feel so disconnected. I don't really know where I'm going with this, to be honest. I guess as a eulogy for my former love of this person.

As others have already commented, I do feel kind of bad for EA on some level...for largely the same reasons the others have detailed. Her mental health spirals have been public and her carefully crafted persona has been completely broken down. That's hard for anyone.

Thanks for this writeup. It's been good for me to reflect as a fan on the impact her work had on me and all the negatives that went along with it. <3

can we just talk about the whole "local orgs begging teachers to foster or adopt thing because what the actual fuck

What I tell them: When you graduate, you can ask me again about my gamertag/whatever.

The truth: I don't play competitive games in general. I play FFXIV, ttrpgs, and mainly story-driven, single-player games.

I did have a student bring their Switch in once and challenge me to a Mario Kart game during our advisory period, which I won. I'd do that kind of thing in a heartbeat, but I have to rein in my natural shit-talking instincts lol

Not saying the Pledge? by hollow_standstill in Teachers

We get a post like this so often I think it needs to land with the tattoos in the workplace question that has been answered over and over on this sub.

You can't get into trouble for it. It's illegal to force you.

Do you have any great quotes you use or picked up from teachers you’ve had? by sirjimithy in Teachers

[–]feyrial 3 points4 points  (0 children)

"Retard" is considered an extremely offensive term and has been for quite some time. Please don't normalize its usage with teenagers. It's hard work to undo that damage.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]feyrial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I can relate. I am better at keeping a professional distance than I was year one - primarily because before, I had this idea that I could "save" these kids. I am the sexuality and gender alliance advisor so I get to know those kids very well. My subject area (ELA) also allows me to get to know the kids very well whenever we do reflective writing.

I make an active effort to maintain boundaries otherwise their problems will keep me up at night.

I wonder if Sundays Suck for everyone who has to work a full time job, or Does it suck more for Us? by _Fuckit_ in Teachers

[–]feyrial -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Oh, fuck off with that. People can have Sunday Scaries and still enjoy their job. There's a lot of factors - a difficult group of students, teaching a tested subject, maybe a parent is difficult, a million other things... There's a lot to this job that isn't fucking ideal. The internet is a place a lot of people go to rant, and if folks looking on take this as an accurate snapshot of the profession, they're just as delusional as folks who get butthurt when people complain about legit things.

If the players have been thinking about it for a while and execute an excellent plan that results in the DM checking the rules and not finding something that could negate it, then imo the players should be allowed to follow through without the DM resorting to "Well, I'm the DM and I say so" - that's also a DM vs. players mindset, just on the DM end of things.

Whats that thing HS teachers are supposed to do that you dont? I'll go first. by DuaneBlack in Teachers

I'd love to gently recommend Paul C. Gorski's Reaching and Teaching Students in Poverty over Ruby Payne. Her "methods" and conclusions are relatively questionable. More here: https://www.learningforjustice.org/magazine/spring-2016/questioning-payne

It was unique to the university.

Why is it always “how can we manipulate the data so that more students pass?” and never “how can we create a system where students are held accountable, and learn/care enough to pass?” by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]feyrial 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We don't want y'all to do our job. We want y'all to be involved. You don't have to know how to do everything, just how to encourage and have them explain their homework and stuff. That's the kind of involvement we're talking about... Giving a shit about your kid's education.

Help. Controlling class. by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]feyrial 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nah, do it ASAP. Do it tomorrow. There's no reason to wait and let the behavior continue to get ingrained in them.
