Mine. The kids just think it means "cute" as in covered in bows and hearts.

The nice thing is they'll be off this in a month. Kind of curious where it came from... but not enough to ask (and they never know)

That is, they will be off it in a month unless a bunch of old people start complaining about it to them. Then they might stay on it for like two years. Let's just skip that OK?

@SKleefeld

Yes. Get with the program!

@MandyMay

I generally love my job.

@MandyMay

That's where it comes from but not always where it ends up.

@MandyMay

Too reductive. It's a more expansive concept than that. Especially when used in unexpected ways.

It means "neat tidy and a little obnoxious but in a way that no one can figure out how to complain about legitimately."

The new popular word among the sixth graders is "preppy" and I'm SO OVER it already.

Also, I'm the queen of preppy fashion and they just think it means "covered in hearts and cute"

I'm more annoyed that I should be by the OR gates with only one input.

aaaand I'm trying to read the damn gate like it's a diagram.

Saving this to show my CS students.

*excuseme* those are NOR gats because of the classy little ball I think.

This would make a great #backrooms level with a few changes. It's got that vibe.

Two people explore a place where 12 men used to mine scouring powder. (Yes it used to be mined!)

This is one of those landscapes that infects my mind and I will use it in one of my stories... they way the daylight penetrates the space, the steepness... the criss crossing tunnels. The stark white walls and silence.

What interesting (massive) trace fossils we shall leave for the future to ponder!

@erininthemorning.com

Who typed these damned changes? Can we find out?

Who complied?

OK this has happened a few times so I start to wonder if these are like ... "teen whales" and it's some kind of dare to gulp one of the trash monkeys?

@dan

And they say we have "no algorithm"

Well three months in I think I've finally gotten my calculus students to understand what the difference quotient is for ... sort of.

They'll go off and do senior projects soon so I'm hoping they remember one or two useful things about calculus.

When I was in the hospital my husband had to learn how to care for thousands of ants and fast. (With me, heavily sedated, as the teacher. ) He used the aspirator the wrong way and ate one of the girls by mistake.

Our marriage was strong enough to take this. I still love him.

A humpback whale almost swallowed a kayaker but spit him out.

Have you ever had a bug fly in your mouth? Horrible experience. The guilt, the horror.

I expect this was much the same for the whale.

The rest of the raving about this ant is here:

Attached: 1 image The book “Gardening Ants: The Attines” (Weber) is old but it has so many banger illustrations. Here is one showing the size difference in Atta cephalotes minors and majors. This difference is entirely caused by how the ants are fed and cared for. Ants have so much variability in gene expression and they use it to shape their population to fit the work that needs to be done. (I love the naturalistic placement of the minor on the major’s head, they do hang out like this.) #antbooks #diagrams #ants

"Oh you work out? That's cute. How fast can you strip a tree? ... That's what I THOUGHT."
