Tomorrow im giving a presentatiom obout roundels to ppl who have no idea about this whole period and i dont hVe to be very serious and scientific, I can choose to talk abouth them in a more popular sciencey way so i'm going to tell them how they're THOUSANDS of years OLDER than STONEHENGE AND PYRAMIDS and were built to be ASTRONOMICAL OBSERVATORIES and SANCTUARIES for the local ppl to perform inside them RITUALS during EQUINOXES AND SOLSITICES
Alright Elsas, exols and girlies! I've now pre-ordered 12 copies!! 😭 I WANT ALL of my babies PHOTOCARDS! 👏🏼 IDC! 🔥If you've not ordered yet the ktown deal with XiuMin international is best I've seen so far! 💣 Hopefully his Japan fanbases do a deal like with DFTF! 🙏
my prof just explained on the syllabus that he’s included more points in the class than we needed to pass, so we could skip up like?? 20 small assignments/quizzes/participation!! and still get a very high grade!!
the idea was that we could focus on assignments that played to our strengths - only do the participation stuff if we like to talk out loud - only do the quizzes/readings if we want to do the class remotely - only do online discussions if we like to talk and share opinions but struggle with anxiety in class ect.
and that’s cool enough but then he pulled up DnD character sheets with drawings he’d done of these hypothetical student player classes and how our various accessibility needs could be gamified to ‘max out’ different aspects of the class to get high grades and like!!!!!
hell yeah!!!! let’s treat accessibility in higher education not just as a necessity but as the fun, engaging, and creative aspect of learning that it is!!! I love this!!
EDIT: For proper credit or further questions about his system please find my professor on twitter @/kurtishanlon
the older i get and the closer i am to reaching 30, the more the people around me try to deny me my age. it’s a constant ‘oh you’re just turning 29 again teehee 🤭’ or ‘dont tell your SO that, he’ll leave you for a younger model 😉’ and i just???? hate it?????????
i spent my entire teenaged years fighting for my life. i crawled through the deepest pits of my depression to cling to the promise of a life beyond that pain. i was so convinced that i was going to die young, that i would never see the grace of my age starting with a 2, let alone 3.
so im going to turn 30, and there’s not a damn thing anyone can do to stop me from loving it.
