Personal experience time-

With online learning in effect, it is easier to show off student’s work. It may be a helpful tool for the student and the rest of the class. However, when it surpasses the wish of the student, that’s when it is not helpful. It could stress them out and make them feel unwell. This happened to me. I wasn’t asked to show my work, the teacher just did it. I got a 50/100 (figure the actual grade from there, if you wish.) and the class started correcting it. The teacher tried to include me with the corrections, but as a person who has social anxiety this made me feel dread. Even though it wasn’t his intention to do so, it was a matter that he didn’t consider about how the student (me) felt. I actually left the class “early” because I wasn’t going to deal with that snakeshit. Listen, It’s fine if the teacher corrects and helps you personally, it’s actually really helpful. But In front of everyone else, OP says no. I actually always felt really anxious in his class, but this one took the cake

Hey everyone. Long time, no post! 

If you follow me on @thehumming6ird you’ll know that i’ve decided to host another Friendship Friday tomorrow (20th March 2020). 

Apologies for the short notice, I just figured that some of us might appreciate some much needed positivity during these uncertain times. So, if your new to the fandom, or if you’ve been here since day one, whether you’re self-isolating or doing vital work to keep your country going, we want to hear from you.

A little about Friendship Friday:

It all started a couple of years ago. I had been getting a lot of private messages and asks with a couple of recurring themes, in particular with regards to people who had recently joined the Marvel/Hiddles fandom. I wrote then:

‘Remember when you first came to Tumblr? When you didn’t know a single other person? When you sat there reblogging posts, not altogether sure who would even see your reblogs or if you were even ‘doing it right’? Remember when you were SO nervous to comment on a post because you didn’t know the ‘etiquette’ and whether it would be considered ‘butting in’ on someone else’s conversation? So you just didn’t. Or you plucked up the courage, replying to someone and nobody acknowledged you? Remember when you had no followers. Or two. or five. All of which were bots? Remember when you were just desperateto talk to someone about a piece of work your favourite actor/actress had done. Or simply wanted to rant about how frustratingly adorable *shifty eyes* their right eyebrow is? Remember when you started making edits or fan art or writing fics and nobody reblogged them? Or nobody read them and you sat wondering why? Or how you could make yourself more visible?

I remember ALL of these things vividly. Because for me it really wasn’t that long ago. I’d simply come to Tumblr for some solace from the outside world and to indulge my fandom obsessions. I wanted to talk to people who loved the same things I did. But I knew absolutely no-one. I’m far from Tumblr famous now btw and have absolutely no desire to become so! However, over time I have been very lucky to make some amazing friendships. Now all I want to be able to do is pay that forward.

As an outsider, allfandoms can seem daunting and often cliquey on first glance. There’s SO much fandom specific language used daily, so much back and forth between friends chatting, and yes, sadly, there will alwaysbe some drama unfolding somewhere. But there are also amazingpeople here. Friendly, positive people who share YOUR excitement, enthusiasm, frustrations, passions, and dare I say kinks? You get the idea…

With that in mind, I had a bit of a lightbulb moment. Wouldn’t it be cool if there was somewhere that new (and old) bloggers could introduce themselves and get chatting to others? Like a kind of ‘Fandom Freshers’ day, if you like. And, because i’m all about the alliteration (sorry nerd alert!) I thought i’d call it Friendship Friday.’

So. Are you new to the Hiddleston/MCU fandom and looking to meet others? Or are you an established blogger (however big or small) who would simply like to extend your hand in friendship? If so, send an ask* tothislink and i’ll post them all tomorrow (Friday 20th March 2020) and we can start making some new friends.

This time i’m also extending it to fans of other MCU actors/actresses. So please, feel free to join in! 

*In the past people have talked a little about their hobbies, their favourite films/TV, where in the world they are (please, be safe in what you disclose), fandom things they like doing eg. writing, making edits, fanart, cosplay, chatting and reblogging (and please do not underestimate how important you guys are in a fandom), or simply just wanted to say hi and see if anyone new to the fandom wanted to talk. There’s no right or wrong way to do this, just be yourself and who knows, you might just meet some great new people. The only rules? We don’t do hate here. And obviously, anon asks aren’t going to work! <3

A little more detail on my new amigurumi work, Socially Distant Mice :)

What better way to start off a morning than with a @riflepaperco inspired birthday balloon delivery!

You may not have to get up for work today, but you do have to get up and do your skincare. Don’t let social distancing get in the way for caring for your skin!

Autistic Women & Nonbinary Network - #LiberatingWebinars Changing Media Perceptions of Disability | Facebook

This video hosted by the AWANN actually has a very raw statment from Dominick Evans who confesses that he hasn’t left his home in over 2 years. Not even to go to the deck because his neighbors don’t abide communal safety and he has respiratory issues in addition to other disabilities (which includes an autoimmune disorder)

The question prompted by the host begins at 15:10, and the other activists weigh in with their experiences. But Dominick’s answer starts at 25:35,where this quote comes in a few moments later:

“I just figured it out. It has been 2 years, 2 months and 4 weeks since I have been outside. I haven’t seen the sun. I haven’t sat on my deck because my neighbors do not understand social distancing, at all. It is not safe for me to go out.

And do you know what the response on social media has been?

-‘Stay in your house. [stummbles] The World shouldn’t stop for you. You’re one person. My children are suffering because of people like you.’- On, and on, and on…”

India’s ‘Maximum City’ Engulfed by Coronavirus

The Maximum City teems with life and density, making social distancing vitually impossible, especially in the informal communities like Dharavi, Mumbai’s biggest slum.

Quarantine? More like Korratine, am I right?
