Always awesome, an instant buy!
I got shivers when the mezzo started the 2nd verse. Didn't expect that!
Great way to start my evening.

Kids grow and a lot of those little events come and go, or evolve. My favorite has always been bug catching, with my fearless little boy grabbing any with his bare hands!
By the way, your depiction of bath time is *perfect*.

I'll tag along with my own dumb questions: is a supernova somewhat spherical? If so, should we assume it expands equally in all directions?

Incredible! Is this bird at risk of getting caught in spider webs? Can frogs catch it like they would an insect?

I can only agree with this assessment. Students (I teach 17-20 y.o.) zone out after one or two pages of text.
A basic survey of how a short story is written seems out of their grasp, even after teaching them how to do it.

My, you had to look hard to find an actual cow-looking cow within the FF universe!
Slightly unrelated, but seeing Gau just put his theme back in my head. The solo cello version is so good!

Thanks for the link, @claesdevreese.bsky.social ! This is something I will most likely refer to in an upcoming course on the freedom of speech.
Won't have too much fun translating those labels to French, though!

I make my students *re-write* their graded, commented, returned essays: they ignore all directives, dump everything, and create an all-new something, replete with different errors and mistakes.
How do those minds work?

My whole childhood, being afraid of the dark and taking hours to fall asleep. In a perpetual state of hyper-vigilance, pumping cortisol, I would see faces in every corner of my room: monsters, witches, giant insects.
I'm assume imagination has something to do with this, though!

Voltaire and Rousseau cancel each other out so perfectly, there is no way to enjoy both fully and equally. The first one you discover will forever taint how you perceive the second.

Your Minecraft example resonates. That's how my son (8 at the time) learned you can start a story right at the "perturbation event" (élément déclencheur) to hook in the reader. Funnily enough, he's been writing this way in his short stories, and the teachers are all sorts of amazed...
