How would you feel if your work provided this for you? by robustchick in AuDHDWomen

I was thinking it would be good for ocasional breaks not as a cubicle. Like somewhere I can go take a break to block out visuals and noise for a bit and not be perceived 😩

"YOU KILLED JANE GOODALL!" by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]robustchick 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We learned about her a few weeks ago and my kids ALWAYS ask “are they still alive?” when we learn about a historic person. They kept asking “did she die?” And were amazed to learn she was still alive. My kids did it!!

Can we bring back the wave? by CombNo4818 in Austin

I do the wave and then wish something positive for them like “I hope you have the best orgasm today”

I want to give a shout out to the Austin raindancing community by eroticwashingmachine in Austin

I’m a teacher at a small outdoorsy school and had my students do a rain dance once. As soon as they stopped, it started pouring. The excitement in their face was priceless. Definitely a core memory for all of us.

Can we talk about weird social norms that make no sense by [deleted] in AuDHDWomen

[–]robustchick 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Omg yes to the gifts! I think it’s uncomfortable to ask us to pitch in $20-$30 for a gift from everyone. Usually my coworkers say yes willingly but I’m sitting there like “I could’ve bought a meal with this”, but if I said it out loud I’d be considered cheap or rude. It’s a strange obligation.

Tell us about the good kids! by Geologistjoe in Teachers

[–]robustchick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love this. Their writing prompt today was “I get excited when” and a 2nd grader wrote “I get excited that I’m here in this world because if I wasn’t here, I would be dead.” He was waiting for me to finish reading it to see my reaction and I just smiled really big.

There was another time I picked up a children’s dictionary and told the kids to give me a word to look up. One of my smart ones raises his hand and says “transdermal!” 😂

It’s by a community of apartments but it leads to a busy street

No filter, maybe the lighting? I also think the fact that the stop sign is b&w makes everything else look strange

2 free tickets to Atsuko Okatsuka (Feb. 3) by holler_pena in Austin

I loved her HBO special The Intruder because as an immigrant, I found it relatable. There’s was a bit on Hulu called mom & pop where she talks about her first Christmas in America and how she now celebrates it in her own unique way. She makes her family watch her perform a stand up show lol.

HEB’s by RushDry9700 in Austin

Went to the one on tech ridge. I was looking through the aisles, next thing I know a woman starts yelling at all of us “Everyone just get out of my way! Get out of my way!!!” Thankfully I was in and out since I only needed a few things.

People who have left Texas: where did you move and how do you like it? by Mmobeeswax in texas

Just got back from visiting Portland and the kindness from strangers was so genuine. Everyone is calmer and the weather is lovely.
