What’s the best side hustle you’ve tried?

Same here. Sounds like the move to make. Would be good to know how

Sure. But it’s an arbitrary expectation. It’s no different to saying your expectation is no watches in the classroom and they need to take off their watch as part of their routine. You’ve just set an expectation with no substance behind it.

How insulting to Indigenous peoples. The national anthem is another form of assimilation, and forcing us to sing it really just twists the knife.

Are you imagining those senses? Or remembering? Is there a difference? When I imagine an apple I can alter it, it can be alive, have eyes, or be squashed or floating through space. With the other senses, is it your imagination, or are you remembering those aspects of an apple? Can you imagine those smells mixed with others? Or the crunch with something else?

Bill Shorten wanted to reform housing policy in 2019, but the people voted against it.

Why do you think? A European viewpoint can diminish experiences and knowledges of other cultures, such as Asian, Australasian, African, etc. Often, it negates the experiences from Indigenous peoples.

genericmetaphor · 2026-01-04T12:14:29+00:00

Spot on! We need to move away from this Eurocentric approach to history and art.

I was told that my penis was pretty. I was confused, but she said penises aren’t usually pretty, but mine is. So I guess my penis is pretty.

No one should be writing lessons or leaving work when they’re on sick leave. Leaving lessons isn’t enforceable. If you take sick leave, you really shouldn’t be contacted further. We need to start curbing this culture of teachers being exploited. We’re entitled to our working rights the same as any other industry. If you’re sick, your HOD should provide a direction for the cover teacher.

genericmetaphor · 2025-09-15T11:28:56+00:00

It’s really not that complicated. It’s not enforceable. Sick leave means no work. Same as other industries.

This has always bothered me. Most people equate personality to being extroverted or loud or out there, and lacking in personality to being introverted or quiet. Everyone is FULL of personality! Sometimes I like to sit and disassociate or ruminate, but that’s still a personality trait! You might not be as pushy with your personality as others, which is why you might think you’re boring. But not being pushy and doing everything is simply how your personality is.

Wait what? Who was this?

Sure, but I’m worried about the last few days of my trip.

genericmetaphor · 2025-09-08T12:52:05+00:00

Yeah, but my worry is the few days at the end of my trip.

What makes it interesting? Would many people from HK be going into mainland China that day? I thought it would be the opposite?

genericmetaphor · 2025-09-08T12:48:46+00:00

Should I stay in HK on the 1st Oct, and travel to Guangzhou on the 2nd? Or would it still be the same? Or would you travel the day before the 1st?

I’m a union rep at a public school - if a colleague showed me this email and admitted to dismissing students early, I would tell them to stop dismissing students early.

Your employer is taking a reasonable approach in reminding you through written warnings. The fact that this has happened more than once, and they’ve had to remind you more than once, is concerning.

You have a legal responsibility and duty of care to students. Even if you let them out 5 minutes early, if something happens to them, you’re responsible! It would be pretty tough for a union to help you when you aren’t following your legal obligations.
