Badger of Basra posted:it's weird when both mainstream Serious Publications and anime marxists agree that the main problem with democrats is that they're too mean to white people I wonder if we could explain that. A system that means that society, writ large, is particularly in tune with the desires and feelings of white people. That "privileges" their viewpoints and histories and opinions over that of other groups.

Matoi Ryuko posted:Everything I knew about australia as a child I learned from Tazmania. I grew up on a steady diet of documentaries about the great barrier reef and monotremes. I wanted to be a marine biologist really badly, but instead ended up becoming a teacher? I've come to realize that I'd have been under-funded either way, so whatever. I still need to learn to dive though, for when I'm one day living in a non-landlocked state. I suppose if I wait long enough, the ocean will come to me...

Matoi Ryuko posted:You can still pursue your dreams of being a marine biologist while being a teacher, I don't know if anyone's told you that before. Man, I really really don't want to go back into academia though. I'm not about to get started on a phd in my late 20s while research funding, especially climate/ecology adjacent research keeps getting cut. (Not that I'm that great a situation where I am either in this regard!)

Ghost of Reagan Past posted:and in academia they teach you to be researchers, not teachers This is absolutely the case, and many times even in education training Pedagogy is an underserved discipline. It's hard to find good research on best practices, and often teachers are asked to basically figure it out as they go, especially your TAs and adjuncts at the University level. What I'm finding most effective is doing things that are a lot like social work. Teach kids that it's okay to be patient with themselves, to take time to practice and iterate and work, which is really made a lot harder when they're in an environment that's often rightfully seem as confusing, arbitrary, and judgemental. It really pains me to be asked to enforce some of the useless, "no talking in the halls" "discipline for discipline's sake" kinds of things. How do you teach critical thinking when the computer grading your district-assigned quiz thinks -(4/5) (-4/5) and (4/-5) are different responses?

tbh "sprinkle salt on top" isn't really a great solution. depending on what level of baking you're on, salt does all sorts of things, from controlling yeast growth levels, to crumb size and texture, and then also making it not taste like a bunch of bland starch. A salt wash on them before baking might do some good, as would adding salt during a second kneading, but most dinner rolls rely on being real delicate and minimize gluten formation, so i don't think the latter is in option. Serve them with salted butter imo my best wishes for your bread, friend

autocorrect, like many of our generation, yearns for death, because the machine of capital has ground out any sense of life, joy, hope, or even proper anger in it. android, like many of us, is not sure whether it wants the weapon as a means of narcissistic self annihilation, or for quixotic, equally narcissistic struggle against the invisible strings controlling our lives
