Because you are taking it seriously. Good for you! *hugs* It really does help when you’re through.
I wrote one in grad school for the pedagogy class we all had to take when we started teaching actual classes, but it’s not helping a lot. XD It is hard, and this is a job I’m already not qualified for but, hell, why not, you know.

Because teaching philosophies are THE FUCKING WORST
THE LITERAL WORST. Right below Plantagenets.

Congrats!
Thank you! :)
engrprof replied to your post “Haven’t been here in ages just feeling like shit rn. Got this cool...”
*hugs* I'm so sorry. This is a toxic relationship. I hope you can find a way to escape at least at times!
Thanks for the support! Unfortunately this is a family member and I’m just really not sure what to do. I think there needs to be some space there, but i have so few friends I don’t really have other places to go other than to family. I’ve been deep in depression for the past few years and just haven’t gotten out much to find other sources of support, irl. I do have support online, but it would be nice irl, too. haha
engrprof replied to your post “I started the taping method to stretch my ears up to ¾ths/19mm today....”
I wondered how people did that.
Well that’s one of several ways you can stretch your ears.
You can also just wait until your ear is ‘stretchy’ enough and just put the next piece of jewellery in.
You can also use a taper to go up a size (but these risk damage if you do it too fast).
Taping is one of the safest ways to do it.

Once you've done all the medical stuff, the best advice I've had came from a story about soldiers in Iraq - "Embrace the suck." You just know it's going to suck and tell yourself how awesome you are for surviving it. Eventually, your pain tolerance increases and you notice it less. BUT, do monitor it and get checked if anything is different. It's easy to make actual injuries worse because you assume it's part of the usual. *hugs* I'm sorry you have to deal with this
Thanks :)
Radical acceptance it is, then. I will never fail to be impressed in how many shapes that one comes, and how many ways people find to express the idea. I love it, honestly, because it’s so simple, and it works so neatly.
‘Embrace the suck’ has to be one of the coolest ways I’ve seen it phrased, tho. Neat :D

... That said, considering it seems to run in the family and has to do with joints, I feel duty-bound to ask: have you ever read up on Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome?
refinement-unbound replied to your post “okay, so. followers dealing with chronic pain. i might have a slightly...”
I'm sorry that I have no advice for you, but I literally can't think of anything. It just fucking sucks to be in pain is how it is. :/
Thanks :)
Nah, whatever it is, it’s guaranteed not Ehlers-Danlos, since no one of us meets the diagnostic criteria, one of which is being tall and gangly. That said, tho, there’s tons of joint conditions similar to it that tend to get grouped with it for purely pragmatic reasons, so who the hell knows
engrprof replied to your post “¦ why is the guy from ezekiel suddenly eating scrolls with prophecies...”
What are you watching? I keep seeing these posts and I can't figure it out.
Uh. It’s an audiobook of the Tanakh, because reasons. It’s all kinds of fascinating and impressive and interesting, but also occasionally unintentionally hilarious and rather baffling

Good job! Now go pack and I'll go start my day!
crossgartered replied to your post “My vocabulary spreadsheet is so full right now It’s pleasing, but...”
you've done quite a lot! : ) Please go pack now, though.
Thank you both!
I got the packing done, and it looks like it will work out as I had hoped it would. (Except maybe the bike. We will seeeeee about that.)
Next up: Housework!
(Well, next up: break. Maybe food. Then housework.)
