🕰️ Alice’s Time-Traveling Guide to Elapsed Time! ⏳✨

By Alice Hi hi hiiii! It’s me—Alice, your snack-loving, bunny-chasing, time-telling explorer! 🐰🍪🕰️ And do you know what time it is?! TIME TO LEARN ABOUT… well… TIME! Big Sister Ariel wrote a paper that’s so cool, I almost forgot I was supposed to be reading it and not just pretending I had a magical watch that lets me stop time before bedtime. (If only. 😩) She calls it “Mastering Elapsed…

Math, Algebra, free time activity

In mathematical statements, the word "is" stands in for an equals sign (=).

Recompose this tawdry platitude as an algebraic statement, identifying which elements can be designated as constants, variables, coefficients, operations, etc.

Once you have created a mathematically valid equation, apply graphic design to give it any aesthetic that you feel is appropriate.

If I get one more invalidating comment on how learning niche history and science is unnecessary and not what education I should focus on I'm going to scream

My office (18 people + usually 2 interns) is doing a darts tournament this month. 13 of us are participating and it is a small disruption from productivity (each darts game is only ~10 minutes, and we are playing an average of 3 games per week) but it's really nice to have a couple minutes of one-on-one chat time with people I normally don't work with. Also the nameplate outside the darts room is "Ballistics Research Facility" which is on brand for a bunch of aerospace engineers.

🎉 Alice’s Ultimate Guide to Perimeter and Area! 🎉

By Alice Hey everyone! It’s me, Alice, your favorite adventure-seeker, snack expert, and sometimes math student. Today, I have BIG NEWS! 🚀 Big Sister Ariel has written another brilliant and super-smart math paper—this time about Perimeter and Area! Now, I thought perimeter was just a fancy way to say “walk around something” and area was just “the space where my snacks go” 🍪, but Ariel says…

i admittedly loved girl dinner and girl math when they first started trending bc they felt so fun and positively commiserating to me. girl dinner reframed negative self-talk around food into a group of friends giggling about how actually their lazy, no-spoons meals were kinda like a poor woman’s charcuterie board if looked at in the right light, and girl math brought a “treat yourself” mindset to the backward, jumping-through-hoops justifications we often do to convince ourselves that we are in fact deserving of nice things that make us happy.

the problem is that, even if these interpretations had been clearly and explicitly stated from the beginning (which they weren’t), control of the narrative was lost the literal second the trend broke containment. misogyny is so inherent to society that you can’t even tack the word “girl” onto concepts and trends made by girls, for girls because once the gender essentialists get whiff of it, it’s over. men start using it to belittle women, women start using it to belittle women, terfs start using it to exclude trans women while simultaneously belittling cis women, spin-offs and bastardizations start popping up to further reinforce the binary gender divide, and what started as a fun way to connect with other women and girls about the ways you playfully defy society’s expectations that you constantly be pretty and healthy and thin and fiscally responsible and good at cooking and the perfect budgeter and homemaker is suddenly being used against you to remind you that, to them, your personality should only ever amount to eating disorders and shopping.

“i’m just a girl” and whatever is going on with the pink collar jobs trend (supposedly, i’m not on tiktok anymore so i haven’t seen it firsthand) started a lot closer to the negative end of this spectrum for obvious reasons, and hearing that it’s apparently still going strong makes me fucking uncomfortable for what i hope are also obvious reasons.

but at the same time i do lament the loss of safe places to laugh about the ways we as girls and women cope with the weight of patriarchal expectations without those jokes being ripped away from us, broken in half and pasted back together the wrong way around, and handed back to us with a little note that says no, being a woman means being miserable. never forget that you are stupid and lesser. you will be happy with the role you’re given, and if you ever make a joke about your experience with your gender again, you better make sure it’s at your own expense.

You can be talking to someone and she'll be like, "Oh I made a silly mistake. Women don't deserve voting rights teehee." And you'll be like, "What." And she'll be like, "Oh I'm sorry! That must sound so bad out of context. No it's this Tiktok meme where, if you're a girl and you do something dumb, you say 'Women don't deserve voting rights teehee.'"

And you'll be like, "That sounds bad." And she'll be like, "No no. It's totally not that bad. It's just a meme. Men say it too. Like if a man does something silly he'll be like, 'I am like those women who do not deserve to vote.'" And you'll be like, "Does that make it better?" And she'll be like, "Well there was one guy who tried to make 'Men shouldn't vote' a popular meme. But it never caught on and also he got yelled at a lot."

And then you drop it there because like, you're harshing the vibe.

Lower Elementary - Working with Money

This first-level elementary student is deeply engaged in a money work activity, a hallmark of Maria Montessori’s hands-on, self-directed learning philosophy. Working on the floor, he uses coins and bills with a set of pink value cards to explore coin combinations and monetary values. The materials include a board for organizing coins, a money box with various denominations, and cards labeled with amounts like "$0.12" and "18¢," encouraging the student to match or calculate equivalent values. This work fosters not only math skills such as counting and value recognition but also independence, concentration, and real-world financial literacy—core benefits of the Montessori method.

what if i dont even have a condition and its just more american propaganda floated by the CIA to try to keep asian americans out of college (not asians cuz international tuition go brrrr)

they tried with race policy and soft propaganda in high impact cities.

i wouldnt put it past them.

[vamptastic]

will say that even if i didn't make lasting friendships the semester it generally went well socially and i got to know some people. there were a couple instances of people being awful to me but they were isolated and everyone else seemed to also think the person was being weird abt me. i suppose i have proof that i am not inherently unlikeable.
