@ewebwards @jonathanbfine But what is your name, if we don't know it we cannot tell if Elisabeth was even remotely close
English
germans often tell me that i spell my last name incorrectly
swamp hag ✨☕️🌸🍓🍰@potatoslav
i live in Germany and the first time i heard my full name called at an appointment i almost missed it bc they butchered it so bad. i just use the German pronunciation of it now bc it’s easier for the people here. it’s not that serious.

@kateschaller We have lots of conversations about AI, academic integrity, and why they want to put in the effort to learn a language (and not just get an "A").
I'm grateful that they're both thoughtful and receptive!
English
@ewebwards oh, I am so glad to hear that. (and you are a great and encouraging teacher, I am sure!) I do want to go back to it in the future someday!
English
reading this makes me so glad I stopped teaching German before ChatGPT
ege@egeofanatolia
almost everyone in my german class has chatgpt open at all times and use it to ask questions already answered in our course book

@EWErickson I believe the schools here are acting the same way as they would toward a Christian student who missed school to go to Good Friday services.
English
You will not be surprised to learn that in the Nashville school system, Christmas break is "winter break" and Good Friday is "Spring break" but Ramadan is Ramadan.
Cabot Phillips@cabot_phillips
Nashville public schools are embracing Ramadan. Let's have a look at the people making this possible, shall we? 🧵🧵🧵

@kateschaller I have kids. Every time it comes on the radio....woooohhooooooo!

Golden is a beautiful song that I now exclusively associate with the Olympics

I want there to be a day when I don’t have to share this speech anymore

A website has appeared in the USA that records the costs of operations in Iran every second.

@BossRVA The variety gives them the illusion of choice (which is very important for toddler psychology). They love thinking they have a choice/get to have an opinion.
All that said: thoughts and prayers! It does get better!
English
@BossRVA Know that toddlers are notoriously picky. They need to try a food 10+ times (sometimes) before they'll accept something.
I would put three or four different things on the plate to let them try; I usually lead with veggies and proteins.
English
Alright toddler hive mind. I am asking for thoughts, prayers, but mostly ideas.
My toddler is very selective and discerning with his food. For example, he typically won’t sample or pick up new foods he is presented with. He will eat certain brands of food but not others.

@BreRVA This was just me with my mom. Thank goodness I can cancel class once a semester, and I pre-planned the make-up lecture so students could do their work while my mom was in the OR.
English
@kateschaller You can do it!
I pointed out to my kids that Vonn was 41 and mama was even older; I think my chance at the Olympics has passed (not that I ever had that level of skill or could obtain it!).
English
Deanna Stellato-Dudek skating pairs at 42 is so inspiring to me….I have two more Olympics to get back into skating and find a partner who jumps clockwise and get over my fear of lifts
English
@BreRVA @Jusrangers I know better than to compare Nebraska to Virginia in terms of preparedness; of course Virginia doesn't have fleets of snowplows if we get one big snow every 3 years.
English
@BreRVA @Jusrangers I can't say how much I get frustrated by people who don't get why the south can't deal with this, either. Yes, it's the ice. But also, having lived in Germany, Nashville, and Nebraska: different localities deal with different weather.
English
Schools never closed EIGHT DAYS after a snowstorm before COVID.
COVID school closures normalized that school is not essential and children’s education is disposable.
MCPS@MCPS
Schools are closed, offices will open on time, staff should report as on a regular non-instructional day for Monday, Feb. 2. Read more on the MCPS website.

@MarthaCMHepler It is *wild* reading the comments on that thread by Mandel.
In a similar trend of no reflection, I saw a thread yesterday by 2A folks who were shocked that the Black Panthers showed up to a day to petition the Virginia governor about access to guns.
English
@BreRVA 💯. I am fully vaccinated, but my titer came back saying I needed a booster.
English
@MarthaCMHepler I appreciate reading this take, thank you.
