Lecturing My Daughter on Her First Fall Rain this then is fall rain. i spoke of it

in july, telling you rain has textures,

telling you july rain drives deep for dry roots, to fill them, drives in at warm angles, softly. i told you then fall rain is cold, rough as wrought iron, sometimes, bent as rusted nails. you were content, though, to wait, to learn this rain by touch, to measure your blue fingers against the still warm places between rain-drops on your surprised face. by Tom Montag

That holy dream ― that holy dream, While all the world were chiding, Hath cheered me as a lovely beam A lonely spirit guiding.

— Edgar Allan Poe

I want her to love me

I want her to comb my hair,

like she loves me

Even though it's rough, she take her time as though she combs through clouds.

I want her to love me

Communicate it to me, not at me, not through me but to me

I want her to see me for me, for the unique glass she carved into perfection.

I need her to understand me, to listen, not hear

I need her to laugh at my jokes because understands me

I need her to open her heart to me, love me like her ownself

I wanted her to wash my hair

I wanted her to care

I wanted her to love my my mind

I needed her to be kind

I needed her to nurture

I needed a perfect future.

I'm fighting pushing past the surface

Take me, how long must I stay

Dreaming of unattainable things

Weary of what joy brings

I forget to pray, I'm ashamed

I don't want to go but I do not object to what Your decisions may bring

Drowning, never living for the thrill

I need an umbrella, I'm soaked in sorrow

Should I run or should I follow

Rules were meant to be broken

Are we not all already prisoners of our minds

Sun-kissed skin, feline qualities

I've never swam, never floated

Drenched in the needs of them

I have not lived

Truly I should stay, but I need to live.

Little Dreams, Big Impact: The Joy of Learning and Sharing It

Daily writing promptWhen you were five, what did you want to be when you grew up? View all responses I still clearly remember what I wanted to be when I was five. Back then, my dreams weren’t of spaceships or becoming a superhero (though those were pretty cool too!). For me, the most exciting prospect was … teaching, lecturing, or speaking in front of a massive stadium. Photo by Pixabay on…

The Truth About Teacher Talking Time (TTT)

Have you heard of Teacher Talking Time, or TTT? It has been the subject of much debate in educational circles for quite some time, The common idea is that more TTT equals less effective lessons. This simply isn't true. Find out why here:

An article by Richard James Rogers (Award-winning author of The Quick Guide to Classroom Management).  Illustrated by Pop Sutthiya Lertyongphati. An unfortunate stigma has been attached to Teacher Talking Time (TTT) in recent years. A common misconception is that the more a teacher talks, the less effective their lesson will be. This is simply not true. Teachers MUST talk to their students…

I tended to use a laptop, so hums or intent nods were sometimes replaced with what I'd almost call the "Fuck it, it's Story Time" upwards glance.

You'd sometimes catch lecturers or professors that had such a yen for turning lecture content into riveting stories that I'd just stop taking notes, close my laptop and just intently listen.

Good stories - and well-told stories - are remembered as effectively as any long-winded seminar designed for darkening A4 pads or covering a word processor's pages in steno.

here's something stupid: the catcatfish

some quick facts:

they're nocturnal and tend to roam around while awake.

they have keen senses of smell and hearing, but terrible eyesight. despite this, they also have a tapetum lucidum, making their pupils "glow" in the dark.

their fur is short, dense, and oily to waterproof them.

they prefer a diet of mostly meat and are attracted to strong-smelling food like fish, cheese, and anything fermented.

the elongated dewclaw on each front paw is sharp, flexible, and nonretractable. it injects a venom that causes respiratory failure and cardiac arrest in prey and, in extreme doses, humans. veterenarians typically remove the dewclaw venom glands during the neuter/spay procedure.

they grow to an average of 1m and 23kg (3ft and 50lb) but can reach up to double that length and triple the weight!
