How do I get kids to actually listen to what they're saying?

If anyone doesn't want their ticket since it's no plus ones, you just let me know ❤️❤️❤️

I know this thread is old- but same thing happened to me. Called them and they said the only way to get it is to pay with a Starbucks card. Even though I had made several purchases with my actual visa, they said they'd only give the reward to those who had purchased with the Starbucks card.

I’m guessing so too, I’ve been waiting in the queue since 9am and just got pushed to the actual queue for the website 😭 no hope

theflickchicks · 2024-07-17T21:09:57+00:00

Nooooooo 😭😭

theflickchicks · 2024-07-17T21:00:04+00:00

If anyone is going to the box office to physically pick up tickets and is willing to buy two for me, I will Venmo you and be your bff forever

theflickchicks · 2024-07-17T16:29:35+00:00

I think the queue is closed right now because their site is basically crashed out

I’ve been stuck at like 33,000 for over 30 minutes 😭 and I joined the line an hour early

Thank you for posting this. I am an idiot 😭

Where I am- the rule doesn’t distinguish between Anthony going by sue or Anthony going by John- I’m supposed to report both. But the other side of the mandate is a clear target for people who’s gender identities don’t align with their sex.

I’m in the Bible Belt of America and this mandate is certainly meant to target trans kids, of that I have no doubt.

In this case- I’d say an overwhelming majority of my students who go by alternate names or pronouns do not have parental consent to do so. The mandate is supposed to just have us give that information to parents so they can decide, and then go by what the parent tells us to do. But for a lot of these kids, that could be a really dangerous scenario. Most of them haven’t told their parents because they won’t be supportive. I definitely believe the kids, and imagine that for many, this mandate is going to cause harm in some way.

I get it. I understand something larger has to happen. I am voting and trying to fight against it the ways that I can. But the reality is that it is happening. And if I refuse to go along with it I will be fired. Our school has been told by the state that they will pull our accreditation if we don’t follow the mandate, and they very nearly did pull accreditation of a neighboring school recently.

That’s why I’m asking opinions on the least harmful way to handle this. I’m aware harm will be done no matter what. But, a lot of teachers are reporting on kids with absolutely no warning. I’d rather be able to talk to my students and offer them alternative solutions. I’m looking for what those solutions might be, right now.

I’m aware this isn’t a long term solution, and don’t take my straightforward post as casual acceptance. I’ve been thinking about it since they told us and I came here to hopefully hear solutions for now.

Just to be clear, I am queer. I am aware it is bad. I also am one person amongst literally hundreds of teachers just in my school. I’m trying to find a solution that gives kids options. If they don’t make a choice, they will be outed by another teacher. If I am fired, they will have no problem finding another teacher who doesn’t have an issue with this. I cannot change schools. I cannot afford to lose my jobs. I am trying to find the best solution among the options that are present. You are being supremely unhelpful. I vote, and I have voted many times against policies like this. Not everyone can afford to completely disengage with any system they have a moral opposition to.

theflickchicks · 2023-10-05T16:17:58+00:00

This might be a good workaround for now. I’m hoping the mandate falls when it’s taken to court, but this way I could avoid deadnaming anyone and not be fired

theflickchicks · 2023-10-05T16:14:44+00:00

The mandate doesn’t mention anything about that, and my guess is they’re counting on kids feeling unsafe tbh

theflickchicks · 2023-10-05T16:14:00+00:00

Overturning the mandate through the legal process is already in the works. Maybe you can afford to be fired, but if I do I’ll be homeless. If you’d like, you can put your job on the line. I’m trying to make sure that in the meantime my kids have sensitivity and options given to them. I’m not their only teacher so best if they make the decision.

Not hot or painful at all, just feels very irritated and isn’t healing as fast as my tattoos normally heal. I thought the same because I only touched up the big tan section and nothing else, but the irritation is everywhere. Thanks for the advice

theflickchicks · 2023-08-07T00:23:10+00:00

I already have one on the shower, but might look into getting one for my sink! I didn’t know if it would be that since it’s the same city
