      And if anyone’s skeptical about a school even using or physically misplacing a paper form in this day and age?

      Oho, they still are, and they still are.

      I woke up feeling so good, I think I’d better call in sick/ I need a personal trainer to help me hold my drink
      I plan to be spontaneous next time we meet/I’m putting off procrastinating until next week
      I’ll get onto it when I give a shit

        I never signed onto Tiktok because I knew how bad it would be for my ADHD. Stuck to long form video on Youtube and used Facebook to keep up with family and friends, but had basically minimized my usage of that.

        Then fucking shorts and reels came out.

        Yeah, it’s exactly as bad as I feared it might be.

          I second this. We switched school districts, and not only did I walk over that IEP, I had to walk over and email her independent diagnosis confirmation with full report, and firmly insisted on the addition of a one on one aide for her since that had been added later.

          I don’t think it matters what state you’re in, though some are better than others. Advocate, advocate, advocate!!! They won’t know what your child needs better than you do, so don’t be afraid to speak up.

            My pet peeve is schools that don’t help even when you do speak up.

            I realize that most individual teachers are amazing humans who live to help students. I’m not judging them. It’s just the combination of lack of training, lack of resources, bureaucracy, etc. that means too many kids with needs that aren’t getting met.

            I have one kid being homeschooled atm due to the school not being willing to meet us halfway, and another who’s floundering in-person and they don’t seem to know how to help. It’s so frustrating and hearbreaking.

              Man. Nothing worse than seeing cool stuff you want to buy at an antique store and then seeing they sell Nazi antiques and you have to walk out in disgust.

                  @hellfrog So, so, so many antique stores have Nazi shit. It’s a huge problem. If I ever become wealthy, I kind of want to buy as much of it as I can to keep it out of Nazi hands.

                    @foksthery I bet a person could make a successful Patreon-funded YouTube channel out of traveling to antique stores, buying the Nazi shit, and destroying it on camera.

                          …I mean, pretty cheerily optimistic to think we’ll still be around in a thousand years tbh. I’m all for smashing the swastikas and dinky little eagles, shitting on the uniforms, whatever helps you live your best life now and keeps that garbage out of the hands of actual living nazis and their shitty sympathizers. The hypothetical future archaeologists can make do with pictures and video. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

                            @WhiteRaven I think museums around the world have enough of it; we don’t need it sitting in antique shops.

                              In a museum, it’s history.

                              In a home, it’s memorabilia. We don’t need nazi memorabilia.

                                I can understand it being at home if it was, say, seized from Germany during the war by a person who actually fought in that conflict. A token of “we kicked their fascist ass” is totally fine, in my book. But once that person has passed away, it should be put in an archive or destroyed.

                                  I don’t know. ‘My grandfather took this off the body of a dead Nazi he killed.’ is pretty cool and totally acceptable.

                                  ETA: unless it was last year in which case it’s also cool but you shouldn’t brag about it as there’s no statute of limitations.

                                    True, it’d likely depend on what it is. It’s a case-by-case thing, at least my by my reckoning, but I was trying to apply a general idea instead.

                                      It’s very, very funny to me that I understand intellectually you are describing a serial killer who takes trophies from his victims but I’m still okay with it because Nazis.

                                        A person who goes around (on the land) killing Nazis specifically isn’t a serial killer, they’re infantry.

                                          Yesterday I got my flu shot and and Covid booster. Today, I feel like I have the flu. I know it’ll be short and is worth it in the long run.

                                          That doesn’t make me feel better.

                                            @TNP I hope you feel better soon.

                                            I was pretty surprised by how little I reacted to the bivalent booster / flu combo. I felt fine, overall, although the local reaction / swelling on BOTH has been markedly more pronounced than it usually is for me.
