Forcing myself not to stare down other people’s misbehaving children with the “teacher look” when out in public.

One I would describe as more of an acquaintance. We have a really good mutual friend, but we pretty much only hang out in group settings. We get along well, but there’s not much binding us together.

Another is actually more like a brother at this point. We tried to be friends initially after the breakup, but we were both pretty immature and shitty about it at the time. I ended up cutting off contact and then reached out several months later after emotions had cooled down. We’re not as close as we used to be, but we care a lot about each other, and I do think he’ll always be like family to me.

Probably the same ones that decided that teachers should parent their kids.

But you see then Denmark actually started the war because Trump didn’t actually say “war.” Because yeah. That’s how that works.

Belgium and the Netherlands this July!

I typically calculate a 20% tip and then round up. For demographic purposes, I’m a millennial in the US.

A couple days ago; I’m an elementary music teacher so it happens pretty often.

Yeah. I don’t use tiktok so this doesn’t affect me, but the only reason I’m here is that during the whole reddit API fiasco (which, to be honest, as a non-tech savvy person I still don’t completely understand), someone posted a link to beehaw and it seemed like a breath of fresh air, so I joined. I had no idea what Lemmy was at the time, and I still really only have a vague idea of what federation actually means.

There are a lot of people on Lemmy who seem to assume that no one worth knowing has a life that doesn’t involve a large amount of time on their computer, and that’s just silly. I’m grateful for the people who do have the know-how to build this space, but a healthy community of people is going to include a large variety of knowledge and experience.

Sorry for the tangent in reply to your comment; it’s just been on my mind for a bit. 😅

I was just now thinking through the pros and cons, and it popped into my head, “On the one hand, I would most definitely rather not have a gender…”

Oh.

Family. I’m very lucky to have a good one. I grew up with parents who moved away from their families before I was born, but we always traveled back - once in the summer, and then again for Christmas. Despite living a ways away, I had great relationships with my grandparents, cousins, etc.

Then it was my turn to move away. I’ll be home for Christmas. :)

Yes! Nat King Cole is my jam.
