Hey guys, my friend recently lost the source of most of his income and his wheelchair-adapted van. He's a trans guy with SMA (https://www.mda.org/disease/spinal-muscular-atrophy).
He's an artist taking commissions and selling small paintings to help make up some of the lost income. If you wanna help a cool disabled queer person out, this is his store:

Today's been 98% unproductive and I've had tummy troubles for two days so I don't feel like exercising.
The 2% is finding these books today.
The brussel sprouts, though yummy, did not improve my stomach. https://awoo.space/media/TsmoAbk7A8zSVEo2Spk
All my most viral toots have been animal-related.
(Except the one that was about the trans, tech, & gaming books our library got in all at once)
Watching training videos about autism spectrum disorders for work.
It's very weird considering I'm now going to do behavior therapy with autistic kids, when I have so many adult friends with autism.
I have to imagine that it's better for people like me, who have actual compassion for the kids they work with, to be in this field than others.
I still reserve the right to be critical of ABA therapy methods, which have benefits but can also be problematic.
Actually no this one

Favorite level of one of the few games I played all the way thru as a kid xD
Education Priorities
I did my best to organize my priorities as an educator. These are some various skills that I would want to pass on to students, and their interrelationships.
Please let me know if you think of anything important I left out. What do you wish you'd learned in elementary school? What would have helped you academically, socially, &/or emotionally?
