Love reading the comments in your post as well. I would rather see clip art posters than the AI slop that we see more and more.
Also seeing the variety of everyoneās websites/aesthetics just helps further my own style/likes.

Posted this one last night: https://stephvee.ca/blog/entertainment/the-pitt-season-two-debrief/
My thoughts on the second season of The Pitt, in the form of a debrief. 
I talk about what went well, and what I thought could have been better (I am a HCW, so the āwhat could have been betterā section is mainly just quibbles about avoidable inaccuracies).

Good post. I noticed that middle schoolers in particular are very good at sniffing out inauthenticity in their teachers. They can tell immediately if you are half assing it or putting on a front or whatever and immediately tune out. You canāt be a middle school teacher unless you truly know yourself, was my conclusion.

A fun gimmick would be an album in the form factor of a pack of trading cards which have the lyrics or art of each song and a download code.

Thanks for what you do! 
Your comment about the kids being occasionally smelly made me laugh.
I donāt particularly like kids. I have one of my own (well, heās an adult now but he was a kid at one time!) and heās fine but I always found other peopleās kids mostly annoying. I hated babysitting when I was a teen and as a mom my kid was usually at your house.
Strangely enough, one of the jobs I had the most fun at was as a pre-K - 8th grade health assistant. I worked with the school nurse and we had about 100 visits a day on top of managing the diabetic kids, doling out medications, doing hearing/vision testing and lots of record keeping. LOTS of kid interaction! There would come a certain warm time of the year when the 5th grade teachers would come to the health office and beg, āYouāve got to do the hygiene talk! The classroom smells SO BAD.ā
One of the large corporations had a program schools could sign up for which provided a hygiene pack for kids - not sure what else it had but definitely deodorant samples!
The kids were (mostly) all right.
Hereās todayās post. Itās nothing profound, but itās something.

congrats on the new job though! Itās scary it got this far without the recruiter realizing it, too. What a gross way to conduct a business to all be in on scamming someone like that
finishing wof arc 2 reread! it was still peak, and also spoilers
I finally had time to sit down and read this today. Taking notes and reading recommendations as I keep seeking.
I worked in a hospital for a long time It was the parents on the pediatric units that changed me, your hospice story brought it right back.
