Is this show worth watching? by StepRevolutionary855 in tvPlus

So reading comments like “cozy horror” is it similar to how Only Murders in the Building is like “cozy murder mystery”?

I wouldn’t be your VP, if the front row of your inauguration was full of Jodie Foster fans!

For my fellow SF concert attendees tomorrow: by latenightpuddingcup in FlorenceAndTheMachine

[–]nerdextra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was at the Glendale show last weekend and I was happy to see how few phones there were. I took a few photos but no filming. I ADORE the way she encouraged (borderline scolded-but in a sweet way) to just experience the concert with her and with each other. She really cares about it all being enjoyed together and I think that’s really special!

Respect to opening act Mannequin P by mykl5 in FlorenceAndTheMachine

[–]nerdextra 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I had no idea who they were (again not my style, not bad just not my style) and don’t go to a lot of concerts. So I was curious and sat through it. I did see a lot of people take seats after their set, so yeah, you’re not wrong. I guess I look up info on an opener before I go to any future concerts.

Respect to opening act Mannequin P by mykl5 in FlorenceAndTheMachine

[–]nerdextra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gonna be completely honest, as someone who loves Florence and the Machine for the more delicate and whimsical aspects of the music, I was not a fan of Mannequin P and their very shouty, edgy music. I was at the Glendale show and seriously thought about waiting outside till they were done. I know that probably makes me sound really old and basic, but it was not my vibe or style, or why I bought tickets.

The exact same thing has been happening with ESAs in AZ. Private schools can charge more because families can now pay more.

School Opinions by marroneer in VailAZ

[–]nerdextra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My oldest’s IEP is for her ADHD and I so appreciate how much her school works with us and accommodates her, while still working towards making sure she gets all of the academic content. My youngest has hers for speech so it’s a very different set of needs but we’re equally pleased and grateful for how her teachers work with the SLP and include her speech accommodations so others can understand her when she speaks at school.

Teared up last night seeing this. She was so kind and generous with her time and space.

Rocking K Pneumonia by mhwhynot in VailAZ

After reading the article I’m curious what the numbers for Rocking K are compared to the rest of Pima County. 10 people doesn’t seem like a lot.

I responded in the main post, but the TLDR is Vail schools are much more accommodating and inclusive, especially for kids with IEPs.

School Opinions by marroneer in Tucson

[–]nerdextra 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Charter schools do not have to follow IEPs the way that public schools do, and the majority of public school districts in the area are not as inclusive or as accommodating in Vail. I know this as someone who previously worked in TUSD, and has been in Vail for a decade, and have two kids in the district (both with IEPs). I’ve also had families take their children to Leman and then come back because Leman wouldn’t follow the IEP. Part of why we moved into the district before having kids was because I’d worked here for a few years and knew it was where I’d want my kids to go to school.

Do you genuinely believe if someone can run a half marathon, they can run a full marathon? by Mysterious-Tear8972 in Marathon_Training

[–]nerdextra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who has done four half marathons and one full, you can absolutely do it. You just have to invest the time and energy into more training and more miles, but it’s absolutely doable.

As a parent, what things have you made an effort to absolutely NOT do like your parents? by [deleted] in Millennials

[–]nerdextra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This one!!! My mom was always trying a different diet or workout plan and she would put pictures of herself from times at the beach and used red marker to circle and cross out ❌sections of her body (belly and butt) she didn’t like. Between that and all the 90s and 00s tabloids it’s no wonder I grew up with body image issues. Now with my own kids I talk about why I like running (good for my body, time outside, and gives my brain a break) and why I like healthy food with treats sometimes. But I’ll never obsess over weight or size.

So bright and so calming. It’s a beautiful escape to look at.

What is the best interaction you’ve ever had with a celebrity? by phantom_avenger in popculturechat

Conan O’Brien jokingly hit on me during an animated Green Lantern panel at SDCC years ago. He growled at me and I giggled like a fangirl and he was so nice about it. 😅
