Parasocial relationships are a lot.
Recently people have started expecting a lot from me, a lot more than I can give.
I love sharing. I love bonding with people. I love teaching. But I am a person with an illness that makes me seize if I get too stressed. And I'm getting stressed.
I can't handle the intrusions into my personal life or heightened expectations. I entertain a lot of that On Here because I'm worried about doxxing. I want to connect, but I also want boundaries.
So here's a bit 1/
I think I'm just gonna keep that part of my mind blank for a bit and to the side cause I really can't do anything about it so stressing won't help
@Cyborgneticz damn lucky i didnt get cornbread in school. and idk what my pan is made of, steel maybe? cast iron would be ideal but pretty much all of my cookware is from goodwill so
teaching
I'm intrigued to see how this class will go. I'm integrating Mbembe's theory of the dark side of democracy.
I'm trying to use what I am learning now for what I will do in high school. People struggle when reading, in general, to remember that the author was located in a very specific time and couldn't know what's happening today. I try to include lots of historical examples to show Why these folks would have had these arguments but I think its something I want to teach as early as I can.
I've never had to train any dog I've had, so if I get a dog that needs training beyond bathroom - this will be a struggle
