Thank you!

I officially got the job offer that had been in HR limbo for awhile, so that’s a huge relief! Less than a week until the big move. Trying to force myself to take a breather now and then between frantically getting things done.

Thank you, I appreciate it!

Yeah, to be fair, I haven’t looked as hard as I could have for those pockets and small groups you mentioned, but what I’ve encountered so far IRL is protests without any cohesive plan of how to move forward. I’m about to move, and hopefully I can figure out how to find these pockets in my new location.

This is so cool, thanks for sharing!

Absolutely! Creative choice is a big thing in my classroom - there are so many different ways to approach music, and I want my students to have the opportunity to connect to music in a way that resonates with them.

Yeah, I get that. Often I like interacting at a slower pace, but sometimes I get in a more social mood, and that’s not really viable here at the moment.

I try to not do a mediocre job of it, but teaching music is my thing more than words.

That’s a shame about lemm.ee (I’m guessing that’s your former instance). Welcome!

I see what you mean by the “giving up on men” thing, but I personally don’t think it’s meant to be read that way.

That was so fucking eloquent, and I’m the opposite of that right now, but thank you. This gives me hope.

Moving’s starting to feel real. Going to sign a lease tomorrow. Getting in as much time as I can with all the important people. Lots of “lasts” happening recently. There’s still a hold on hiring for general music positions, but that’s not even at the forefront of my mind at the moment.

I’ve actually never been in a court room that was currently in use - so I guess a few minutes here and there while touring historic buildings? I’m 38 and have somehow managed to never have to go in for jury duty.

I can feel this.

That’s fair, I personally wouldn’t use the word spiritual for those things either, but I think it just comes down to a difference of opinion.

Interesting, how do you define spirituality?

I personally don’t think something is spiritual just because it can’t be measured.

Oh I’m certainly not advocating for forcing anyone to get rid of their religion (I’m not advocating for anything at all). It just struck me as interesting that you can’t imagine a world without it.

I cannot imagine the world without religion, as human beings tend to be spiritual

I’m curious about this. I was raised somewhat religiously, but at this point, I can’t imagine myself with religion, or spirituality, or any of it. Why do you think it’s so essential?

I use Jerboa and it works just fine for me, but I honestly haven’t bothered to compare it with others. This is Beehaw, a lovely corner of Lemmy.
