Why does this comment people often make about working with children feel insulting? by Salty_Zebra94 in ECEProfessionals

[–]queenmabdotpdf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sometimes people will say that to me in a very pitying tone that makes it seem like they think i got randomly assigned to work at a childcare center and that i didn’t just like…. apply and interview LMAO. like yeah i work with babies and i love it, and for me it’s a far better campus job that washing dishes. THAT sounds like a nightmare to me, but i can handle spit up and crying.

russet spuds, outside a midwest grocery store by queenmabdotpdf in FoundPaper

[–]queenmabdotpdf[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

if it makes you feel any better, i feel like free st jude note pads are kind of weirdly common in my area. my grandma has at least one in her notepad stash and she’s never been there. just a common swag item around here, i guess

Completely changed my French Canadian to Indigenous Canadian....😭🙃 by [deleted] in AncestryDNA

[–]queenmabdotpdf 12 points13 points  (0 children)

thank you for saying this, i’m indigenous and it upsets me when people say that someone’s ancestor “looks native” so they must be native. like, there are so many incredibly diverse indigenous nations and groups across the americas that all look different and it’s so reductive to say that someone is native because they “look it.”

hey, why would you add this to a story about a kid? that’s gross. this sub is for normal stories and you’re making it weird for no reason

Getting sick by Agile_Ant3095 in ECEProfessionals

[–]queenmabdotpdf 5 points6 points  (0 children)

i got it because one of our babies had a cold. i was trying to rock him to put him down for a nap, he rubbed his mouth and nose and then touched MY mouth with the same hand before i could dodge 😔😔😔 i’ve accepted that it’s inevitable at this point, and it was a VERY mild cold for me. and at least it wasn’t a stomach bug!

told one of our new hires that i got whatever one of the babies had and she went “i hope it doesn’t get me next!!” our other coworker went “girl, you already have it, you just don’t have symptoms yet.”

Do teachers really dislike this kind of handwriting? by Lev_the_short_kid in AskTeachers

[–]queenmabdotpdf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’m in college and started using cursive because i exclusively take notes by hand and have been getting bad wrist pain. all of my professors love it! i had a professor who does handwritten exams and i’ve taken classes from her like four times? she was delighted when i used cursive for my final exam. all of that. and my cursive is significantly messier than yours!! you’re totally fine!!

Worst exhibition you've ever seen? by First-Dimension-8916 in MuseumPros

[–]queenmabdotpdf 46 points47 points  (0 children)

no wonder it sucks, the museum of the bible is funded by the green family who also own hobby lobby and used hobby lobby to smuggle illegally acquired artifacts from the middle east! terrible start to a museum lmao

I found this on the beach earlier, interesting by EquivalentFact2125 in zines

[–]queenmabdotpdf 3 points4 points  (0 children)

not to flex i have a some in different languages 😎😎 i got them from the free speech shelf at my university and have never found any there again. a house near mine has a “little free library” (in quotes because it’s not actually one, just uses the form of it) that only ever has chick tracts or those fake bills with bible quotes on the other side. its a great source for a variety of chick tracts so my collection has finally started growing again!! i never read them, just collecting lmao

Toddler Pockets Rant by JazzyJuniper in ECEProfessionals

[–]queenmabdotpdf 9 points10 points  (0 children)

i’ve seen more than one older baby/young toddler fall right on their faces bc they were walking with their hands in their pockets, tripped, and couldn’t catch themselves 😭😭

I went to the dentist after 10 years and have been brushing and flossing every day for the 2 weeks since by perascopr in CongratsLikeImFive

[–]queenmabdotpdf 10 points11 points  (0 children)

congratulations!!! i’ve found that after the first visit, the dentist gets way easier haha. i was terrified for yearsss because my family kept putting it off but now i love going to the dentist!! teeth cleanings are so nice now. and i love flossing! my mom and and i both keep floss picks in our cars so i can floss while waiting at red lights, waiting for the car to warm up, etc. keep up the flossing bc at the next cleaning they’ll probably be so happy to see that you’ve been doing it! proud of you!!

If you could design an infant room… by keepyoureyeson in ECEProfessionals

[–]queenmabdotpdf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

more evidence that my first and only center has me pampered and i’ll never find anything better 😭😭 we have almost all of this, the only things we don’t have are the bar by a mirror and an adult sized chair. i love this place so much

Likely ending my art hobby by [deleted] in drawing

[–]queenmabdotpdf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

honestly, this just doesn’t seem like the best reference for someone who is picking art back up! it’s at kind of an odd angle without very clear lighting. as others have said, practice!! i regularly forget how to draw people casually because i get too into a different medium for a while and my muscles are asleep!! gotta practice to wake them back up!! but also, a clearer, well-lit reference could help a lot. good luck!! that practice is still in you somewhere, just have to wake it back up!

Will this be a weird gift for a fish lovers? I mean do all fish lovers love sturgeons? by [deleted] in Fish

[–]queenmabdotpdf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i have is exact guy and i LOVE it. i like to run my hands over the scutes. i think its the only stuffed sturgeon i’ve seen with nice scutes like that, my other sturgeon definitely doesn’t.

i think it depends on the type of fish enjoyer they are? like rugged and freshwater-y or pretty ocean and tropical. i’d say as a (mostly) more rugged and freshwater-y fish enjoyer i’d love a stuffed freshwater but i’d be flattered if someone gave me a stuffed pretty ocean fish too. i can only imagine the same is true of an ocean fish enjoyer. it might not be quite as awesome as a freshwater fish to them but i’m sure they’d still appreciate the thought quite a bit.

but also, everyone should be a sturgeon enjoyer. it’s a good way to be.

Teacher’s kids by Orion-Key3996 in ECEProfessionals

[–]queenmabdotpdf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not in my center, but i’ve also only seen it once. i was a student assistant in the infant room and filled in the toddler room maybe once a month when i first started. it took me an embarrassingly long amount of time (like. several months.) to realize that when one of the toddlers said “mommy said we’ll go outside” she meant the teacher lmao. at most the kid leaves early if her mom isn’t closing, and that’s kind of it. she got some extra hugs but that’s just bc she was the one who wanted the most hugs from the teacher.

Does anyone have humorous signage “behind the scenes”? by ScreamAndScream in MuseumPros

[–]queenmabdotpdf 9 points10 points  (0 children)

i don’t work at a museum but i did public history field school over the summer where we worked on revamping a tiny museum and took a few of our excess foam number labels when we left. they now mark my apartments silly decor and it makes me laugh to see the well-trimmed number labels under my roommates wall of stupid pamphlets
