Congratulations! You are now a Magic-User!!

Spin the wheel to find out in which way your Magic begins to gradually transform your body?

How do you feel about this?

HELL YEAH THIS IS PERFECT FOR ME

This is very cool!

This is neat, I guess…

I mean, it could definitely be worse….

I feel utterly indifferent about this change

Honestly, I don’t think I’d even notice anything is different

This transformation has both strong upsides and downsides, I feel conflicted

This is perfect for me (Deragetory)

This isn’t the worst, but I still feel disappointed…

This feels pretty sucky tbh…

This is a very lousy side-effect, but at least I still have magic, right?

THIS IS SO SO BAD MAGIC ISN'T WORTH IT FOR THIS SIDE EFFECT

it’s fun that Mormonism is based off pseudo-archeology and Scientology is based off pseudo-psychiatry. By that logic the big American New Religious Movement of the 21st century is gonna be based on… pseudo-computer science?

Woman in front of me in line at the caffe nero changed my life yesterday when she ordered a prosciutto sandwich but pronounced "prosciutto" like it rhymed with mosquito. "Pruh-squee-toe."

I heard this person say "uhhhh yeah can I get a prosquito sandwich please?" and I knew I'd never be the same. Prosquito. Prosquito. Its everything to me. I haven't been able to stop saying that lmfao. This is my spinch. This is my bagel and creem cheems. This is my ranibow sprimkle.

friends and family are already tired of me going crazy over prosquito but its so special to me

My ethics professor once told our class that society justifies hating fat people by saying they overburden the healthcare system but no one uses that excuse to hate high level athletes who also disproportionately use the healthcare system

[parentheticalaside]

They don’t even need to be high-level. Active people who are just regular folks are some of the most expensive people for health care systems. When I lived in Boulder, a professor pointed out that the city had some of the highest orthopedic costs in the country, just from the bicyclists, runners and joggers, hikers, mountain climbers and others breaking bones during recreational pursuits.

[fred-the-dinosaur]

not to mention it is impossible to overburden a health system, given that its entire purpose is to provide care proportionately to those who need it. From each according to their ability, to each according to their needs. More health issues, more healthcare.

The only way to overburden a health system is to provide poor or restricted enough healthcare that it causes more health problems due to neglect and malpractice. Doctors neglecting fat people into health crises creates far more of a burden on health services than fat people existing does.

i've seen many of you on my dash reblog fundraisers and campaigns from palestinians, especially those that have been vetted and verified. it's a massive help for those families. but today i want to talk about the person behind the verification: mohammed ayesh @moxayesh who has done the legwork to make sure these campaigns are legit.

unfortunately his own campaign is struggling. as many of you may know, mohammed has recently gotten married! he and his wife farah are trying their best to start a new life with a fresh start. their campaign goal is $10k, of which they currently have $3211. you can donate to them on chuffed here.

i also want to mention mohammed's little brother, yaser @yaseergaza. yaser is hard of hearing and has a cochlear implant. however due to the situation in gaza, he often struggles to keep his cochlear implant charged, and he has also had to discontinue his speech therapy sessions. he is trying to raise funds so that he can continue looking after his health, and currently has $695 out of a total goal of $10k. you can donate to him on chuffed here.

mohammed has done so much for so many families in gaza. i do not want his own needs to be sidelined. if you can donate anything, please do. and even if you cannot, please do share this post so that it reaches someone who can help. thank you.

[moxayesh]

I want everyone who knows me to do as my friend did, a post of my own on your page of your words that urge you to donate. I hope this post will reap its fruition.

[gaza-evacuation-funds]

Your donation and participation will not lose much, but they help me a lot

love the camera guy even gets to bump into a mirror for us

[athelind]

Okay, I love everything about this hall of mirrors:

Traditional mirror mazes are dark and creepy. This one is brightly lit, and colorful.

The triangular grid makes it that much more disorienting.

The pillars help to obscure the difference between the mirrors and the openings -- so it doesn't NEED to be dark.

All of this combines to make it much more fun and entertaining and much less "I gotta get out of here before Mr. Dark drags me off to the soul-sucking carousel".

“Goonbait” and it’s just photos of teenage girls and women in their early 20s smiling and being happy because they’ve each just accomplished one of the biggest moments of their respective careers

[teaboot]

These are literally just women existing as people wtf

[teaboot]

Adult ProTip, from a security professional: If a kid tells you, "My parents are gonna kill me / kick my ass / kick me out" for something relatively minor, don't respond with shit like "Really? ;) that sounds a little extreme, don't you think sweetie?" because that shit really does happen.

Instead, respond as though whatever threat they are afraid of is fully valid, and offer whatever you can do to help- ask if they believe they are in danger of being hurt in any way, and work accordingly.

If they're overreacting, they'll usually realize and dial it back, self-correct and begin thinking a bit more rationally.

If they're not overreacting, and the danger is real, then they'll need a level-headed adult in their corner, not another condescending authority figure who doesn't believe them.

[seedysys]

sorry about the light mode but this is important also

[teaboot]

^^^^^ Also, since it wasn’t in the original post:

Some kids who ARE being abused will backpedal too btw, and minimize things. But investigating gives you a chance to assess, and lets THEM know that there are adults who exist, who- even when they’ve done something wrong- still care about their wellbeing more than they care about punishment

[arliedraws]

Dude, I almost cried yesterday because of AI. I can’t grade anymore without getting upset because of how much kids are using generative AI. How can I assess their ability to think critically when they aren't thinking critically? One kid admitted he used ChatGPT on an assignment, and he was like, "So? Is my answer right?" And I was like, first of all, whether or not it's "correct" is not the problem, and ALSO, it was INCORRECT. Like...majorly so!

They can’t fucking think for themselves (or rather, they’re losing the ability). This is not “ooooh technology scary” -- this is a fundamental, they can't fucking answer questions when I ask them to their faces. I fucking HATE when my colleagues roll their eyes and say, "Well, this is how we felt about phones! Just accept it!" First of all, it's different. And TWO! We're FUCKING FIGHTING PHONES every day! We've literally banned all cell phone use during class in my district because letting kids use their phones and not fighting their use in class FUCKED US OVER, and now we have to FIX IT.

Okay, but also, kudos to Tumblr, the weirdo website, and our anti-AI stance here because my weirdo queer kids are the ONLY ONES who are STAUNCHLY against gen AI; they're the only ones reliably not using AI. Dear children of Tumblr, thank you for being little weirdos who give a shit.

[grungekitty-77]

It was a slightly different situation, but it's translatable. This became a stable for me.

I asked my students if it's nice/helpful/good/acceptable/normal to help someone else lift something really heavy they were struggling with. Of course they agree! Then I asked them if it would still be (or explain to them that it isn't) nice/helpful/good/acceptable/normal to help someone lift heavy weights if they are working out at the gym. The answer is no! Because the POINT is that it's hard to do alone! That's why it makes you stronger! (Plus it gives the kids a very funny and therefore memorable visual for the concept. You can play into it and have a laugh with the kids at how weird someone would be if they did that!)

I often used "Don't lift their weights!" as a shorthand when a student was trying to give another kid the right answer.

Anyways, AI is lifting your weights for you. If you go to gym everyday and have a robot lift the weights for you, are you going to get any stronger? Even if you are going to the gym and "lifting weights" everyday? Even if the robot was really good at it? School is the gym for your mind. It's hard for the same reason gym weights are heavy.

if you have multiple emails subscribed to mcr stuff you can now find out what its like to be haunted by the grand immortal dictator

[soundlessdragon]

My kids are still quite young (under school age), and I've been careful to try to make sure they only have kind role models. This has resulted in typical mean language being absent from their vocabulary, such as "you're stupid/ugly/I hate you", but they've started inventing their own ways to be mean lol, such as "you're not my brother anymore, you're a stranger to me now", and hearing that out of a toddler's mouth is so cutting lol

[soundlessdragon]

My favorite tags so far

[gator-crusador]

This is a great case-in-point about why designating certain words forbidden is an ineffective strategy. Words don’t dictate thoughts and feelings; they express them. The thoughts and feelings remain, even if the mode of expression is taken away, and a new mode of expression for the thought will be found.

I'll give that a shout.

The off label drug research run by the MS Society and MS Trust in the UK and the National MS Society in the US are the only reason I can walk right now. Decent charities.
