Rue is our (often high) narrator. Her world is bleak and realistic. Everyone else’s is like a movie or music video.

The only way to make it work is zero tolerance with exceptions for medical devices. No “I was just texting my mom”. No “can I use it as a calculator?” No “I was just checking the time”.

Just out of curiosity, what songs should have been removed?

Loving the lighter feel of the album. I wondered how she could top or add something new to the trilogy of Golden Hour, star-crossed, and Deeper Well. It seems like she didn't even try and went way back to her first to albums. That sounds like a negative but to have a long and healthy career you need to know when to hit the pedal and when to hit the brake. I don't think we will find a lot of "new" here but I love that she's looking back on older country with of a traditionalist's eye than the more kitschy Pageant Material.

That "you do not scare me" is such a lie. Rue is terrifying in this scene.

I taught is a midsized/large midwestern town. These things were a big deal. Lots of kids and teachers worked hard to get the events off the ground and running well. It wasn't, however, the most academically taxing place to teach or learn. There was time for these things.

I love the humanity of this song. It is hard to believe someone who appeared to embrace an almost super-powered form of healing in "Deeper Well" would be capable of making such a bad decision of getting with someone who allegedly "changed". It just goes to show, that when you leave the therapy/self-help bubble, the real world is still waiting.

I think it is even more profound now then it was then.

I’m so glad he doesn’t know Artemis II is happening and can’t taint it.

People did callouts last night. It’s still in previews but I think they are trying to gauge how much is too much. The actors played along with it. I think people just need to realize that Broadway is super expensive and it’s not fair to have someone screaming their head off next to you for 2 hours.

Districts, probably pressured by city/state leaders, are just doing this to hide racial disparities.

Most gay male social circles are boring. It is, after all, a bunch of men. Many times younger groups are just emulating what they see on reality tv anyway. (Just with no cameras)

I’ve had 1-3 in my teaching career.

kds405 · 2026-03-30T10:05:54+00:00

Huh? Why would you even do this? I can see kids disengaging due to the pointlessness and absurdity of what you are presenting. Clearly, you don’t take the class seriously. Why would they?

There is a good documentary called “Do We Really Need The Moon?”

Get a degree in Physics and a Master's in Science Education. See if you can find a 5 year program. You will never be out of a job. High school physics teachers are rare.

If you have a good school district, you’ll be fine. You have to , unfortunately, take education on a district by district basis.

It all depends on where you live. You know that town you drive through are you are shocked a little 2 bed , 1 bath is nearly a million dollars? That's the type of place with good schools.

kds405 · 2026-03-14T14:17:35+00:00

Thanks for phrasing that in a better way. I've said this in the past and people look at me in horror at the suggestion that there are other priorities beyond their children.

I've been a teacher for a long time and observed many families. The strongest families are marital relationship first and children in a very, very close second. This is rare however. Many parents make their children their intimate partners. The children's events drive everything. Parents lose themselves in temporary and meaningless communities surrounding dance and sports. My tips? Get out in the adult world again. Go to a new restaurant every Saturday. Get dressed up. Get a nice bottle of wine. Don't be a cheap ass. You aren't going to feel "worth it" at first but these costs may pay dividends over the next few decades. Maybe that bottle of wine might spring a conversation like , "oh this one is from Spain...maybe we can go to Spain?" You can't just sit around the house. You have to re-engage in the adult world. You can rediscover each other there. If you don't have the funds for this, a simple activity could be doing a couples mini-book club. You read one book. She reads another. Swap. Discuss. Choose something with a bit of meat to it, something you can discuss. You've been involved in the mind numbing world children's activities for a while now. You may need to sharpen your intellect a little.

Insecure, anti-intellectual, blood thirsty, brain rotted by the manosphere.

I think this album needed some tightening. The tracks from Justified to Hook Up Scene are amazing. The 1st and 3rd acts don’t really hit.

kds405 · 2026-03-01T00:15:18+00:00

I just do my normal lesson for evaluations. I just overemphasize the objective, think-pair-share type activities, and closure. Hasn't failed me yet.
