this is actually HILARIOUS because both domestic rabbits and domestic cats practice dominance-related social grooming but for wildly different reasons.
if you're a rabbit, the boss rabbit is the one who gets groomed by its subordinate rabbits.
but if you're a cat... the boss cat is the one that grooms the other cats.
BOTH these idiots are going "aw yeah, it's good to be on top >:) "

not to oversimplify an extremely complex discipline but if i had to pick one tip to give people on how to have more productive interactions with children, especially in an instructive sense, its that teaching a kid well is a lot more like improv than it is like error correction and you should always work on minimizing the amount of βno, wrongβ and maximizing the amount of βyes, and?β for example: we have a species of fish at the aquarium that looks a lot like a tiny pufferfish. children are constantly either asking us if thatβs what they are, or confidently telling us thatβs what they are. if you rush to correct them, you risk completely severing their interest in the situation, because 1. kids donβt like to engage with adults who make them feel bad and 2. they were excited because pufferfish are interesting, and you have not given them any reason to be invested in non-pufferfish. Instead, if you say something like βIt looks a LOT like a tiny pufferfish, youβre right. But these guys are even funnier. Wanna know what theyβre called?β you have primed them perfectly for the delightful truth of the Pacific Spiny Lumpsucker
I was in martial arts for years, and in particular I kinda specialized in working with the younger kids.
The two Big Rules when instructing younger students was- 1. Compliment before Critique 2. Donβt say βbutβ, say βnowβ
Praise kids on what they get right first, especially if they are struggling. Like OP said, kids donβt like to engage with people who make them feel bad. They need encouragement when learning new things.
Number two boils down to this. If you tell a kid a compliment, then say βbut you need to fix thisβ, that βbutβ completely negates your compliment. Itβs gone. It was canceled out like adding a negative to a positive. Using βhey, that punch is looking great, now letβs focus on your stanceβ doesnβt verbally cancel out the progress theyβve made. Itβs like theyβve checked off something on their list of stuff to work on.
Wording can absolutely make or break a childβs motivation and interest.
Rebloggling as itβs relevant in a Medical Education context
Honestly I use all of these to teach vet students too. I think people in general respond better to positivity in teaching. Not coddling, but acknowledging when a student got part way to the right answer, or had a good thought process, is something Iβve found keeps students engaged and builds confidence, which encourages them to keep going instead of shutting down and just βgetting throughβ a lab or a rotation
itβs so magical and beautiful that there are sprawling interconnected cave systems carved deep into the earth by various geological forces and you donβt have to go in them. there are miles and miles of stone passageways in total darkness that require you to exhale all the air out of your lungs to squeeze through parts of them and you donβt have to be there. some of these squeezes are underwater and require cave divers to take off their oxygen tanks and push them through ahead of them and me i am above ground looking at the sky as we speak. there are untold subterranean wonders no human has ever seen and i will not be the one to discover them #grateful #blessed
so true there could be any number of undiscovered species down there all of which are none of my business and never will be. peace and love on (the surface of) planet earth π
today I found out my mother doesnβt know what dandelions are and now Iβm wondering what other strange secrets sheβs been quietly harboring
Where do you live that you donβt have dandelions?
we have dandelions EVERYWHERE, they are basically our State Weed, it is absolutely impossible that my mom has never interacted with a dandelion before, this requires further investigation
So after extensive interrogation I have an update:
my mom is in fact aware that dandelions exist. she temporarily forgot the name and there was some miscommunication.
the truth is actually weirder
sheβs aware dandelions look like this
she is familiar with this flower. she knows the name of this flower. she declines to believe, however, that these are also dandelions
she does not believe these are the same plant. I tried to explain, and she thought I was either misinformed or lying. so I asked her what exactly did she think the yellow ones were called?
she answered, with complete confidence: Daffodils.
gosh I enjoy this website
For comparison, this is a daffodil
See, folks in the southern US will tell you up and down those are buttercups, actually.
i donβt think so? iβm southern and buttercups are what we call these things (much tinier)
Wait I thought those bigger cup ones were Easter Lillies???
This is an Easter Lily. It is an actual lily and therefore deadly to cats.
Theyβre marigolds and I know a bitch when I see one!
This is a marigold:
β¦.we need to start taking the phrase βgo touch grassβ more literally. go outside and examine a flower i beg u
me: I am relatively young, i think
my joints any time i move:

tbh a lot of my advice boils down toΒ βhey you know that terrible horrible looming thing youβre doing your best to avoid and distract and escape as much as possible but no matter what you do it just keeps looming and looming and ruining your lifeβ
βjust, fuckign, run straight at it screaming.β

No one ever talks about how good it feels watch or read or listen to something your friend recommended and then talking about it. Like you mention you did it and suddenly all the attention is on you. βI listened to two albums by King Gizzard and the Wizard Lizard,β I say, and in an instant I have all the power. I hold the world in my fingertips. The universe is my oyster. I have the power.

Sources say if you want a project finished you have to work on it.
Devastating.
I do appreciate that βIβm still at the restaurantβ is slowly becoming a part of general cultural lexicon outside of swiftie spheres now. Does everyone know its swiftie origins? I donβt really care.
Better to have posted and flopped than never to have posted at al
After all my bitching about unending january, I go to work on monday morning, and punch in my ticket on the old-school paper time clock. The stamp for the month only moves forward manually. Admin hasn't gotten round to it.
Do you have any idea what it was like to look at my fucking ticket and see Monday, January 2, 8:00 stamped on there. All the stages of grief squared. Contemplated murder suicide for a minute. Still working on logistics of how to kill god.
