Making a pinned with multiple threads as an FYI.
1. Why I'm here:

I don’t actually want a lot of followers, like I just want a little bubble of only people who like me and are on the same page as me bc I am an outcast in almost every other space I exist in. Idc if it’s ignorant or whatever you want to call it, I just want *one* safe and social space for me

Just happened to be walking in the same direction as a rooster and he kept looking back at me nervously like, why are you following me?!

i enjoy grading handwritten stuff way more too honestly. Plus it’s faster lol. But I’ve gotten so accustomed to do everything online now. Wondering if I should switch back

I'm grading/giving feedback to over 100 students a week. If I'm also prepping my worksheets/lectures/etc. then I'm more likely to just mark things wrong with short feedback as opposed to providing more detailed explanations, which I prefer to do.

makaʻāinana @keoraborealis.bsky.social · 1d

I can get that, but as an instructor, I reuse curriculum (tweaking as I go) because it gives me more time to focus on providing more thorough feedback to students. If I have no curriculum, I'm spending majority of my time creating that and I don't feel like I have enough time to help students

makaʻāinana @keoraborealis.bsky.social · 1d

Genuine question, is it more wasteful/harmful to print out worksheets for students to do or to just have them do it online? What about printing/making laminated templates that students use every year, then they just write/type out their answers on their own paper/doc?

AI needs fascism, and fascism needs AI.

We have to fight this nexus of Big Tech and the fascist regime.

Together they’ve formed a deadly alliance against democracy, and against the working class.

My sister still expects me to pay for everything, like come on, you are a single adult with a job who lives at home and pays no rent!

Anyways, yes, I paid. Must be nice to be the baby lol.

My sister and I have been wanting to get a matching tattoo for years but our tastes are so different. We aaaaalmost aligned tonight when I said some kind of skeleton then we simultaneously went:

Her: a dinosaur fossil
Me: a skeleton dancing goofily

Her: damn. So close 😂

students in the mala:
ugh this is so much work, it’s so hot, can’t we just plant stuff and go back
In the classroom: can we go to the mala, it hasn’t been tended to in awhile
They want to have their cake and eat it, too lol

makaʻāinana @keoraborealis.bsky.social · 2d

Me, jamming, pulling out weeds in the students’s garden while they stand around watching
Students: wow, the mala looks so good now, we really cleared it out
Me: what do you mean, we?

Absolutely hilarious to me that they wrote a whole article about this lol. This is by far my favorite weird fad/lingo of students. So much better than hawk tuah and tung tung tung tung sahur

The ‘6-7’ meme can be annoying. But kids are shouting it for good reason | CNN

Middle schoolers everywhere can’t stop shouting “6-7,” a meme that means nothing. But don’t worry about “brainrot,” experts say.

I keep watching those realrealJapan shorts and is Japanese similar to Hawaiian in that they use a lot of hidden, double layered meanings in their writings/orations because of all the words that have multiple meanings? Or is the functionality still very different?

Still think it's just fear?

If you won't do it for your friends, or for your co-workers, or yourself, then please mask for children at the very least.

You don't know who has kids and who doesn't. You don't know if you're giving COVID to a parent who will pass it to their kid and fuck their life up
