So teachers must never share any details about their personal lives and only ever speak about books?

One would think that reflection of the impact of literature on ones personal life is an important part of analysis.

Also that teachers should be fully and authentically present for their students, not just glorified YouTube lectures.

This article feels like it was written by an old man yelling at clouds. "... Back in my day we smoked mid and we liked it" shakes fist and then uses it as a reason to go back to prohibition. Why can't we just make it legal and let the free market figure it out.

Turns out more THC for the buck means people can make a few months supply of edibles out of a few grams. Cost effective!

I like it pretty tart. I keep a bottle of honey simple syrup in the fridge, and I'll add a few drops if needed. I would say it's more tart than you'd get in the store.

The last pour of a 1L bottle though will have all the settled bits from the fruit, and that can be so sweet it's more like a juice. That is extra yummy.

A small bottle of buch with fresh raspberries for flavor. Brewed it in a 3.5gal jug, then transferred into 1L bottle for secondary ferment with the berries

An opinion that ignores all actual research.

Gender affirming surgery helps 99% of people who receive it! So sure, technically, there's a tiny minority who regret it. More people regret Lasik and boob jobs, should we ban those too? Many people regret a night out drinking, how about we ban that too. Drinking causes way more harm than giving estrogen or testosterone pills to folks.

On the other hand, I like that my friends have the freedom to express themselves any way they want. They aren't hurting anyone so let's let them be free to wear whatever clothes they want and take whatever hormones they want.

So join the side of American freedom and let's stop policing what clothes people wear or what name they use.

When I first learned to bake bread and pizza.

Five years later I was 60lb/27kg heavier and needed to go on keto to break the bread habit. Sigh. Took me almost as long to lose an the weight, but I've kept it off now for almost ten years!

A phone wallpaper from the game Celeste where the main character has a panic attack and you have to help her use her breath to float a feather in the air.

How is this game both so good and so hard?!

A screenshot from the game Celeste when the main character has a panic attack and you have to help her float a feather with her breath. Truly a remarkable game.

Keep breathing

 

I love the way the light plays on the scene, and the workers taking a rest break under the shadow of a majestic peak. Such an epic scene!

A fun local legend of how it was built:

The people of Uri recruited the Devil for the difficult task of building the bridge. The Devil requested to receive the first thing to pass the bridge in exchange for his help. To trick the Devil, who expected to receive the soul of the first man to pass the bridge, the people of Uri sent across a dog by throwing a piece of bread, and the dog was promptly torn to pieces by the Devil. Enraged at having been tricked the Devil went to fetch a large rock to smash the bridge, but, carrying the rock back to the bridge, he came across a holy man who "scolded him" (der ihn bescholten) and forced him to drop the rock, which could still be seen on the path below Göschenen.
