Something I try to instill in my students: for all the plans we make in high school, literally anything is possible at any age.
If I would have stuck with the paths I planned in high school, college, my first job, and even when I started this job - I would have missed out on so many opportunities.

Advantages of finally having the right dosage for your meds: You can do everything so much better!
Disadvantages of finally having the right dosage for your meds: You realize how much you COULDN'T do before and discover all kinds of extra work you have to do now to make up for the deficit.

So here's a wild thought I had today about RFK's autism speech:
You know what are typical signs of autism? Rigid thinking, difficulty relating to others, seeming blunt or rude, hyperfocus on a special interest...

It's Autism Acceptance/Awareness Month
I'm not built wrong - I'm just built different.
I don't need to be 'cured' - I need to be understood and supported.

A message to all movie industry executives:
Leave 👏 animation 👏 alone 👏
They didnt animate it cuz they couldn’t do it live-action, they did it to make something unique and beautiful.
Respect craft and crafters.

Might be an unpopular opinion, but I'll say it anyway - Bear McCreary's God of War score is easily on par with Howard Shore's LotR score in terms of thematic cohesion & storytelling.

I always make a schedule mapping out the end of the year work backwards so I know how I need to schedule things like final projects, rehearsals, etc. before the madness begins.

5 things you should have by the time youre 30:
1. An unspeakable trauma
2. A bad movie or show youre weirdly defensive about
3. A drawer full of wires/cables you CANT throw out
4. A strong opinion about a gaming console that was already outdated when you were born
5. A passable Kermit impression

I want insight into the first person who ever thought to cook something poisonous/inedible.
Like, what was going on in that guys life?
‘Hmm, I get sick every time i try eating these beans. I wonder if putting it into FIRE would change that.’

Call me a gatekeeper, but if you havent studied pedagogy, if you havent had to manage a classroom, if you havent had to prepare/grade lesson material - I am not interested in your opinions about education.
You're free to have opinions, but don't whine when someone QUALIFIED corrects your opinions.

Parenthood is full of all kinds of unique challenges, like the babysitter feeding your 7mo way too early leading to this weird decision
1: try to fit in one more feeding just before bedtime
2: stay up past bedtime for a better timed feeding
3: just put him to bed and hope he makes it to breakfast
