Adventures in Librarian-ing

I have three Grade 4s who have started coming in every morning between the entry bell and first period bell to help put books away.

According to their teacher, so long as they're back in their classroom by 9 for attendance he's more than okay with it, so it looks I have extra help now! :)

[funderberker-thefrog]

listening to the intrepid heroes talk about high school experiences and stuff is kinda funny as a non-northamerican person, bc when i remember what i was doing at the bad kids' age and its

i had already graduated high school by the time i turned 17

i was always just a boring nerd with overprotective and overbearing parents

no money to do much outside of waiting for college to start

i wasn't allowed to work bc. reasons

closeted af + on a shitty relationship

so me being 17 can be divided in two periods:

sad. rotting in bed. coping mechanisms: musicals and a guy that wasn't good for me, apparently.

baby's first semester on premed/medschool/whatever. sad. stressed. really just nightmarish times.

it's not a big deal that i don't relate, bc actually i do, but i just find the difference funny lol

#in case youre wondering #med school is public college territory where I'm from #the only payment required is your soul #so yeah #i don't study that anymore nor live with my parents #nr rambles #adventuring party #d20 #dimension 20 #fantasy high junior year

Damn, I wish that anti-Zionist rant my dad yelled at my horrid Israeli elementary school teacher in my dream last night was real.

#I think he'd probably still call himself a Zionist but he's relatively far left and opposed to the war and hates Netanyahu #But we don't really talk about it much #post o' mine #Personal #Ftr record she would have been a bad teacher even if she was an American atheist teaching at a public school #She was just a bad teacher and I hate her #She was so bad for 2nd grade that my parents insisted that the school not place me with her for 3rd grade #But then the 3rd grade Hebrew teacher was so much worse that they requested I go back to the 2nd grade teacher for 4th grade #Adventures in Jewish education as a contrarian with undiagnosed learning disabilities

there is nothing worse than a crammed bus filled to the brim with sweaty 7th-8th graders. @asuryanshallwatchyou can vouch for me.

[windandwater]

just remembered last night I told what I consider a kinda funny story from elementary school and kids being gremlins to each other and everyone looked at me like omg who are these BULLIES and I'm like uhhhh. everyone I was in school with? I was a little goblin too?

it's wild to be so completely over something like that. trauma over, now funny story about stupid kids picking on each other for no reason, who cares. those people grew up to be pretty decent humans actually. I'd say hi.

life is. something else.

Historically, some in MI6 had tended to look down on the domestic Security Service as little more than a police outfit, lacking in imagination and verve; MI5, in turn, tended to view foreign-intelligence officers as flaky public school adventurers.

#betas adventures in public high school.... dont be like me. don't get trapped in elevator maintenence rooms

[dullahandyke]

Real besties extrapolate convoluted and unnecessary information about the admin and population of competing schools in the fictional nation of Spyre

#listen to me. listen to me. listen to me. im whisepring in your ear listen to me. #mumple is public school. perfectly respectable but they dont teach adventuring stuff. most people go there #hudol is private school. very competitive. learn mostly theory. #aguefort is art school. tiny population only a handful of staff. regarded as wackos

going to be blogging my adventures on tumblr like it’s 2014 again!

but today a guy in my theater class asked me for a high five and i gave it to him… in the face. cuz thing is he was behind me while I was rehearsing lines and i tried to turn around to give it to him but i just had to smack the ever living fuck out of him.

it was so accidental and i was crying because i gave him a fucking swollen eye but turns out he was a pervert so! he’s been flirting with a bunch of my girl friends unwarrantedly and just being a creep in general so i did the world a favor

but like really I’m an orange belt, i started karate seven months ago, I’ve accidentally hurt like three people. by the time I’m a black belt I’ll probably have committed homicide twice

funniest shit was that i felt so bad about accidentally smacking him and people kept asking me if my hand was okay. nobody gave a shit about that dude 😭 if that dude is reading this holy shit i’m so sorry but you might’ve sorta deserved it!

Kid-friendly info on why school shootings happen more often in the US

I had a Grade 5 ask me about this, and as there isn't much info out there for kids on the topic I figured I'd make some for if anyone needs it. :)

1. The number of guns and the types of guns in the US

The US has way more guns per person than other countries. In fact, there are more guns than people in the US:

Now, Canada has quite a bit of guns too – a bit over 2 million guns compared to 38.5 million people (our number of guns is about 5% that of our population, while the US’s is 118%) – but we don’t have anywhere near comparable numbers of school shootings compared to our gun numbers.

Why? 

Part of it may be because of the kinds of guns people have. In Canada, it’s hard to get a handgun (which are smaller and easy to hide), and pretty much impossible to get a semi-automatic gun (guns that can shoot many bullets in a few seconds); most of our guns are shotguns and rifles for hunting, which don’t shoot many bullets and aren’t semi-automatic.

In the US, on the other hand, most of the guns that are owned are the ones that are easy to hide and the ones that shoot a lot of bullets.

2. The laws regarding guns

Another piece of the puzzle may come from the kinds of laws regarding guns. In Canada, for example, it’s very rare that someone can legally carry a gun around, be it hidden or otherwise. In the US, on the other hand, it’s fairly easy to get the necessary paperwork, and some places even allow people to openly carry guns without needing a license.

It’s fairly common for businesses and places like libraries to have to put up signs saying that guns aren’t allowed, because otherwise the assumption is that people can bring their guns to places like zoos and coffee shops.

=-=-=-=

I purposefully didn't add any links because the places where I got the info from weren't kid-friendly (either because the language would be too hard or because the source also included info not appropriate for kiddos), but everything stated above was sourced from reliable content.

For parents looking to talk to their kids about the subject I'd recommend these two resources:

Common Sense Media’s guide on how to talk to children at different ages about the topic has some great insight on how to respond to their worries in an age-appropriate manner.

Child Mind Institute’s guide is a bit more thorough and goes into more detail.

Review: The School of The Haunted River

Synopsis: We are all born of a river, and that in itself should be enough. On a two-week outdoor winter snowshoeing trip in northern Saskatchewan with her niece Dilly, outdoor adventurer Jay tells stories as they hike and camp. Some are true – her outdoor training in Wyoming, her early life on the farm – and some are stories within stories within stories. A faux diamond necklace that…

On one hand, it’s really cool to be able to hold a letter that’s probably 150 years old or so, handwritten by someone who lived basically where you’re sitting currently. On the other hand, I Can’t Fucking Read Cursive, and I have very little clue as to what this guy’s letter is about

I know that car chases and particularly televised car chases are not objectively A Good Thing but god damn do I miss LA. I grew up watching car chases on TV after school. I was a total news/if it bleeds it leads junkie from the age of like, nine. This has everything-- a carjacking, triple digit speeds, shooting out of the window with an assault rifle, someone else shooting at the truck from somewhere, it’s not clear whether that was the cops or what, BYSTANDERS (the truck stops at a school crossing to let kids go by), and then a crash to finish it out. Beautiful. Complete enchantment. 9/10, and ONLY because the ending wasn’t a rollover crash. [this video contains footage that may be distressing for some people, including images of cars moving at unsafe speeds, gunfire, people/children in danger, a car accident, police activity, and police takedown of a suspect.]

#I hate cops #and I don't think car chases are a good thing #honestly I think policy should change to the point where if a suspect flees in a vehicle they're immediately let go #in order to protect the public #the LA-born PIT maneuver is also stupidly dangerous and should never be used #and obviously filming and sensationalizing car chases just exacerbates the problem #however #this is what I grew up with #car chases more than batman or spiderman or the x men or jackie chan adventures were what I watched on TV after school #so there's a lot of nostalgia associated with seeing one like this #the way that Seb associates the smell of cigarettes with Good Times #the way that some people love sketchy roadside carnivals #anyway #fast car go brrrr

adventures of sugar daddy nanami kento and his frugal sugar baby [ pt. 2 ]

nanami kento x reader ; fluff & humor ; nsfw joke | [ pt. 1 ]

MDNI — 18+ interactions only

A/N : it's implied that reader is still attending school, whether that be college undergrad or grad is up to you; tldr: reader is over the age of 18

"darling, are you busy right now?" kento's voice dripped from the speaker of your phone like thick honey.

"nope, go ahead," you confirm that you have time to talk as you wipe the sweat off your brow, the summer sun and scalding water making your body temperature rise.

you could practically hear kento's brows furrow, "are you sure? you sound a distance away and I can hear the water running," he said suspiciously.

you cringed, holding your breath as you slowly slid the plate onto the rack only to cringe at the sharp hiss of ceramic skidding against metal.

"I thought you started using the dish washer," kento sighed, the creak of his office chair putting the image of a disappointed kento leaning back in his chair in your head.

"I don't trust it, kento!" you cried dramatically. you would've clutched at your heart if your hands weren't soaking, sparkling glasses weeping on the rack at the mere thought of being thrown in satan's machine.

a staccato sigh and your muffled chuckles filled the kitchen. "anyway," kento continued, "I was wondering if you had the energy for something public." he asked, always considerate of your social battery.

you blotted your hands against the hand towel that hung from the oven door's handle, humming happily as you reached for the nice hand lotion kento had gotten for you, worried about the state of your hands considering the temperature of the water you habitually used. "why? is this some secret exhibition sex club thing that you rich people have?" you teased.

"I want to treat you to an outing since you refuse to do it yourself," kento poked back, speeding passed your joke, already used to your antics.

"oh, not denying it? does it actually exist?" your eyes widened in feigned suspicion, a weak attempt at changing the subject.

"do you know why I started looking for a sugar baby?" kento continued. you sucked in a breath only to be cut off, "nevermind... don't answer that." kento sighed, making you chuckle. "I wanted someone to enjoy spending my money. I lost that kind of excitement a long time ago, so you don't have to hold back. you can ask me for anything that will make you happy, okay?" he explained, sincerity oozing from his voice.

you nodded as you listened, ears perking up towards the end. "anything?" you parroted drawn out and timid.

౨ৎ

kento scrubbed his hands against his scalp, blond locks effectively spiking in every direction. you were both sat next to each other at the dining table, crowding around your laptop-- the one you'd refused to replace, deadset on it lasting you at least another four years despite the volume the fans worked being loud enough to wake kento from his sleep. kento sat defeated, chin digging into his palm as he stared into the abyss while you wore a gleaming smile on your face, excitedly knocking against the table as you waited for your prehistoric machine to load.

once the confirmation screen popped up you wrapped your arm around kento's, pulling him in close. "you were right, kento! spending all this money is fun!" you chimed, wiggling like a weight had been lifted off your shoulders.

kento stared at you with glassy eyes. "I don't know what to do to make you understand," he croaked. "was this really fun for you?" he softened as he took in your features and how much more energized you seemed after just a few clicks.

when he got home from work you'd dragged him to the table, pulling up the tragic student loan debt page, eagerly asking him if it was really okay to spend this much all at once. he'd paid off your loans and the remaining balance of your current semester. you felt like you were floating, to say the least.

kento was more than happy to pay these debts off, but he'd assumed that if you had any they would've been your first priority, not a scrubdaddy and a dish rack. he deflated once again at the mere memory.

you chuckled fondly at the display, reaching to plant a soft kiss on his cheek. "fine, fine. let's go."

his brows knit tightly as you input the address into his phone, sticking it to the dash before securing your seatbelt. you had him park a bit away from a 7-eleven. he followed you hesitantly, watching as you hummed quietly to yourself, a bounce in our step as the two of you took a short walk down to akihabara station. you stopped with your arms spread in a grandiose gesture, the wall behind you stacked floor to ceiling with gashapon machines.

"i've always wanted to try one of these, but the probability that I would get what I wanted on my first try was always slim." you explained as your eyes scanned the wall for a specific capsule series. you held your palm open asking for coins which kento handed to you with a gentle smile.

he watched you for who knows how long. the capsules kept coming, countless duplicates filling his arms. and it was worth it to see your smile, bright and unashamed, every time you popped a capsule open.

"ah, finally!" you cheered as you turned to kento, a small plastic sandwich in the palm of your hand, the same sandwich he got everyday for lunch.

his heart overflowed, spreading heat across his chest. you'd gone through all that work just to get his sandwich. even given the opportunity to do something for yourself you still thought of others, but you were happy and that was enough for him.

"come, come! I think I saw one that had a desk like the one in your office." you beamed, eyes busy searching for the machine with every intention to set these figures up in the corner of your own desk. somewhere along the way kento left you for a moment just to stop by a store for a bag, dumping all your gachas in it until you got exactly what you were looking for. a smile plastered on his face as you continuously loaded coins into the machine.

he rests a hand on your thigh on the drive home, pinching it just enough to grab your attention. "thank you," he whispers, bringing your hand to his face to kiss at your knuckles. thank you for showing him all the small happiness the world had. he had a lot to learn from you.

The Last Stand Exam

This file documents the questions administered to the adventuring party known as the Bad Kids during their Last Standard Exam, in their junior year at the Aguefort Adventuring Academy. This assessment was produced from a variety of class materials relevant to the curriculum of the Aguefort Adventuring Academy, as submitted to the principal Arthur Aguefort prior to the start of the school year. This list is accompanied by documentation of the creatures the party known as the Bad Kids was required to face as part of the exam.

The exam is graded out of 100 points; the scoring involves the students correctly answering the questions in the appropriate time interval as well as their heroic last stands. The students are expected to simultaneously fight off a horde of creatures and participate in the examination equally; each student in this party must answer two of the twelve questions.

Neither exam aids, nor outside interference are permitted during the examination period--this excludes clerical divine intervention, as appropriately performed by a member of the party in question. By standard, the proctor must be protected--death of the proctor results in a 30 point score reduction regardless of circumstance.

By Solisian School District Standards, this party reports excellent grades and a high level of competency with regard to independent adventuring.* They were allotted a grace period prior to exam initiation for preparatory spellcasting and review of the exam parameters. Based on prior academic achievement**, the students were allowed two chances to defer a question or utilize previous materials in their response. Questions where these materials were used will be marked with a **.

Exam Proctor: Gavin Pundle

Assisting Cleric: Buddy Dawn

Party Members:

Adaine Abernant | Wizard

Kristen Applebees | Cleric
