In teaching a 3 hour long MA seminar this semester so I made each of my students (and myself!) a fidget beanbag 😄😄

I had a student fail my class last year, take it again this semester, decide she loved linguistics, added it as a minor (she’s a music major) and then she just emailed me a pic of her new wug tattoo

Someone nominate me for Aunt of the Year pls

My 9yo’s new hobby is making google slideshows. He made one about me (a mommy recipe?) My ingredients and preparation are EXCELLENT

Sign me up for this false belief task

Holding this little guy is absolutely the best, most calming fidget activity. 10/10 highly recommend snek
