hello! no pressure to respond but I really admire the ways you talk about interacting with your kid in specific and other kids generally and trying to give them autonomy - do you have any book/reading recommendations or advice? I vaguely remember you talked about "the secure child" a while ago.

Oh yeah, “Raising a Secure Child” is AMAZING, great for fostering resilience. I like — and it is cliche — “how to talk so little kids will listen and listen so little kids will talk” — which is great for treating kids like people.

I went to child care a long time as a child, and read all my (excellent) child care provider’s books about activities for kids and now I would very much like to read those books again as an adult.

The Sixth Swan

When my mother forgets a word, she is the queen of coming up with new words. Words that would take a third National Treasure movie to fully decipher. I was talking to her yesterday, and she said this: “You know the time for los jibbities is coming up. You must be so excited!” Oh, is it time for los jibbities already? I must have missed it on my calendar. Are we celebrating something? “Of course! We should all be celebrating, shouldn’t we?” OK, so los jibbities is a happy thing. It’s not like something is giving you the heebie-jeebies, which would have been my one and only guess. “Los heebie-jeebies? Now you’re making things up...and this is my show.” You’re right. The time for los jibbities is coming up. Is this a season? “Yes, the season for love. The season for pride.” OK, los jibbities. “Yeah, sound it out.” Los…jibbities. LGBTs! “Sí, mira cuz you’re gay!” “You couldn’t just say pride season? You couldn’t just… *laughs*

So my beta reader for the Big Fics is an astrophysicist, right. Who is currently also writing a hard sci-fi novel about the exploration of Phobos (more power to them, I cannot with the physics required for that, best I can do is soft sci-fi/fantasy and that reminds me I should finish that story).

Anyway I was bitching about how hard it is to come up with feasible planets in Star Wars because sometimes you need a new planet from scratch and sometimes you need to know more about a planet than the 'has jungles, is probably a moon technically' than Wookieepedia will give you, and they're like 'oh yeah I can do something about that'.

So they've written (in Matlab but they swear it will run as a .exe as well and I may be conscripted to embed it as a web tool at some point) a star system generator.

You input what you know about the planet (ecosystem, population, sun colour, does it have liquid water, does it have a moon or moons, is it a moon or moons, temperature averages, atmosphere, you get me) and it will give you the... everything else about the star system, in obedience to real-universe physics. And if you input nothing you get a randomly generated star system.

And I’m like oh I know people who will be into this with a vengeance, and they're not on Tumblr, so this is me seeing who exactly would be keen on, and I cannot stress this enough, a real-physics comprehensive star system generator.

It's still in the debugging phase (last error fixed: every planet wants to have a population of exactly 5000 regardless of other factors, turned out to be a missing equals sign somewhere), but I'm psyched for this and trying to gauge interest for how high a priority 'make this an accessible web tool' needs to be.

National Theatre is streaming their rendition of The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde this week for free on YouTube. The production is a delight.

This show is one I constantly return to as a theatre educator for middle/high school, and it is MUCH better enjoyed when performed rather than on paper.

[sandersstudies]

Whatever the opposite of rolling in his grave is, Oscar Wilde is doing it

[sandersstudies]

I just found out they also have accessible BSL (British Sign Language) and audio description versions. The closed captioning has also been done correctly (a bare minimum many YouTube videos do not meet).

HEY GUYS PLEASE PREORDER THIS BOOK OK THANK YOU GUYS I LOVE YOU

Sublimation

WHY BUY IT?

Well, you see, if we all work together really hard and each buy a copy, we can prevent this author (who definitely is not me) from having to return to the law firm. If we all use teamwork and the low low price of "buying one copy of isabel's book" then isabel can avoid the cruel fate of "being an attorney" once again.

lets work together to make that dream possible. no seriously guys i really need this. please. blease. Links below: Amazon Link

B&N Link Indigo Link

WHATS IT ABOUT?

The border cuts you in two.

When you immigrate, you leave a copy of yourself behind. One person enters their new country, the other stays trapped at home.

Some instances keep in touch, call each other daily, keep their lives and minds in sync in the hopes of reintegrating and resuming a life as one person. Others, like Soyoung Rose Kang, leave home at ten and never speak to their other selves again. Rose, in America, never imagined going back to Korea until her grandfather dies and her Korean instance calls her home for the funeral. When she arrives, she discovers that Soyoung plans to steal her body and live her life whether Rose wants to reintegrate or not.

Sublimation is a literary speculative fiction novel that pits the lives we choose against the lives we leave behind. It’s an immigrant story like no other, capturing the longing for another life and twisting it into a dangerous game of cat-and-mouse.

WHO HAS SAID NICE THINGS ABOUT IT:

A lot of people. Its very scary. Go look at the link, because the post is getting too long as it is.

ok thank you everyone for your time and attention to this matter and no seriously guys please buy it, i prommy its good!!!!!!
