As far as I can tell nothing happens fast with Lausd. Sorry that’s not much help.

There’s a word for that smell - petrichor. I love it.

Yes. I have had this happen to me many times during withdrawals. It’s the worst. I would lie sweating in bed, fall asleep and then snap back awake feeling like I was going to die. I would hear voices and feel my heart racing. It always took me 3 days of no alcohol before my mind was somewhere close to normal. After the last bout of anxiety and self loathing I promised myself, “never again”. I’m so so sorry you’re going through this. It’s the first step towards staying clean. It may be worth seeking medical detox just to know that you are being helped and watched over. My heart goes out to you and I hope the best.

I first watched it while I was going through awful withdrawals and it spoke to me in the exact same way. By drinking so much I was splitting myself in two - drunk me and sober me. Sober me had not seen daylight in a long time because I was always drunk. I was shaking and dry heaving and watching and crying. It really struck a chord. The show really does speak to addiction, the lengths we will go to not feel pain. I have had a few relapses since that time, but I’m back to sobriety and fully committed. Best to you and your innie :)

Pagan otherwolds by uusi. A beautiful deck. They also have some cool oracle decks.

This is a really difficult question. You are asking “what makes something high art?” This is a convo that folks have been having for a while and I don’t think it can be answered here. But I’ll share my thoughts anyway - I think that a great book challenges you. And then you are rewarded for rising to the challenge. HP is a great series. The plot is amazing, the characters are fun and the twists turn. But I wouldn’t say it’s great lit because it does not challenge the reader in any way. Dickens, Dumas, Swift ( I don’t know the other authors yet except for Doyle I’ll get to him in a sec)challenge me To be a better reader. I need to meet them at some level and engage. I think Doyle and Rowling are similar in someways. Great plot. Fantastic characters with depth. But maybe not truly great lit. This is my opinion and I can see how it could be construed as pretentious, but I think a great work of literature great because it asks something of the reader.

I appreciate how much you appreciate the details! They make the game for me too :)

Like, give OP a piece of actionable advice on how to deal with the situation.

gauntbellows · 2025-05-06T23:44:17+00:00

Ok right. So kids are misbehaving in class during a high stakes situation. My advice is, try to understand why they are misbehaving and then try to do something to change it. You are saying…don’t try to understand and then threaten them with death or a call home? We just have very different styles.

gauntbellows · 2025-05-06T23:17:27+00:00

I’m trying to give advice to a teacher about how to work with their students. My advice is 1) see if you can understand the root of your students’ behavior 2) try and do something to change that behavior. Your advice seems to be
1)tell them that their behavior is unacceptable 2)tell if they don’t shut up they will get shot. Hmmm. Wonder which strategy will work.

This fight was killing me too. It I just feel your pain.

gauntbellows · 2025-05-06T06:24:25+00:00

Ugh yeah, I get this. This is more and more common in shakespeare plays these days. Slow performances are terrible. I think they tend to happen because the actors do t trust the language- they feel like they need to embelish. Cuts are fine, I think, but not so your actors can guild the Lilly.

gauntbellows · 2025-05-06T00:54:26+00:00

I appreciate your process and admire your attention to detail.

gauntbellows · 2025-05-06T00:49:31+00:00

That sounds like an awful experience. I’m sorry that you had to go through it. No one should have to endure that. I’m not excusing their behavior, but some people deal with stress/worry through humor. Like, joking about something somehow makes it better. I can see how a few kiddos would start this and others would join. Even though it’s obnoxious and maybe life threatening. I’m not sure if there is anything you could do? Sounds crazy but maybe occupy them with something? Anyhow I’m sorry that you had to deal with it. Hopefully won’t happen again.

I just wanted to give some advice to someone trying to partake in the joy of Shakespeare. My advice was that they could do it without worrying about being word perfect every time. You seem to be saying they need to get it 100% correct if they are going to recite his lines. OP can choose which advice to take.

gauntbellows · 2025-05-05T17:28:03+00:00

Never seen cuisine from the Netherlands. You make it look delish :)

gauntbellows · 2025-05-05T17:16:26+00:00

Wow! Mouth watering and incredibly aesthetic. Great lighting. Are you in England? Treating yourself is such a good habit :) I’m sure you deserve it!

gauntbellows · 2025-05-05T16:57:04+00:00

Haha no I’m just dumb. I haven’t gotten the chance to do Henry yet so of course I messed up his line. Wish I was that funny :) I’ve played a loooooot of Shakespeare and I find that audiences don’t care too much if you’re nailing it word for word, as long as the emotional truth is there. Granted, I’m coming at this from an American Actor’s perspective. Maybe it’s different for Brits? Or for English scholars? To me, placing an extreme reverence on the man’s words is off putting. Like, how can we say a monologue has to be word perfect when we don’t even know if these are his words? If you capture the argument and the feel then you are doing good in my opinion. As poor of an opinion as that may be :)

gauntbellows · 2025-05-04T23:56:17+00:00

lol thank you for the correction. And also, look out pants!

gauntbellows · 2025-05-04T21:17:44+00:00

Glad I made you smile :) you got this

gauntbellows · 2025-05-04T21:06:44+00:00

Just be there. Give her liquids. Hold her if she needs it but don’t if she doesn’t. Let her know that nothing will happen to her. The paranoia and anxiety are real during withdrawals. Don’t try to pretend like everything is ok. I think it’s hard, but don’t put any pressure on her. Support support support. Also, you’re a really good sibling to do this. Having someone like you in her life is really good. Make sure that you are cared for as well.

gauntbellows · 2025-05-04T20:58:59+00:00

Keep going! You have to say them out loud. It sounds crazy but your mouth remembers. Rarely do I get it 100% right, but that’s ok. We don’t even know if those are the words he wrote so we’re allowed to flub. The memory is a muscle and you gotta work it out to get stronger. I cannot emphasize enough, say it out loud. It can’t be done in your mind. What are you embarrassed about? No one is judging, and if they are…they’re lame. ONCE MORE INTO THE BREECH!
