@lynessence @baxaphobia @pawpower @NicksWorld Yeah! And you don't need a pillow when you have lots and lots of doggies.

@lynessence @NicksWorld Oh cool I will definitely check this out. Taking notes while also paying attention to my interpreter is basically impossible.

@pixelate @baxaphobia @pawpower @NicksWorld Cool, every night will be like a giant sleepover! I'll just get a bunch of beanbags chairs and sleeping bags, and I'll set up a big screen TV in the people room with my Sonos sound system. It'll be epic!!!!

@NicksWorld @pawpower If you're looking for an app to take notes for you during a meeting, try Granola AI. I have been using it for months at work and it is amazing! It is available on iOS, and I believe they do now have a Windows app. I use it on Mac and iOS, it is accessible on both but I don't know what it's like on Windows.

@pawpower @NicksWorld I know I'm in another country, so different education system and all that, but it's interesting to me that blind students in the US have IEP's. I never had an IEP when I was in public school. I don't know any blind students now, so I don't know if they have them. But I have heard this sort of thing from other people I know who advocate for blind students in the US during IEP meetings. It's disgraceful that these harmful attitudes persist in 2026.

@lynessence @baxaphobia @pawpower @NicksWorld It's okay, you can make 2 bedrooms for the 50 or more puppies, and one for the people.

@baxaphobia @pawpower @pixelate @NicksWorld Ds wants a puppy. 3 dogs in a 2 bdrm apartment? No way! 2 retrievers is going to be handful enough.

@NicksWorld @pawpower My advice, get used to it and try really hard to get yourself a better attitude about it. I hate meetings as much as you do, but for now, they're here to stay.

@pawpower @NicksWorld It's okay, you can get a few more. And then a few more. And then several more. And then a legion more.

@pawpower @pixelate @NicksWorld Oh if I could I would get a puppy. But 5 dogs would be way too much!

@pawpower @NicksWorld Yeah, I guess I've kinda taken a lot of bad thought processes from that school. Every time I came out of my room into the common area, the dorm staff always seemed to find something wrong with me, what I was doing, or found something for me to do. So I just kind of closed off from everyone. It didn't help that all the boys I lived with always seemed so loud to me, and that usually got on my nerves. Then the other day I told people about my darker thoughts, and the person who manages where I live, and my case manager, and one of the board members of where I work, came and told me they care about me. I still can't believe it. I'm so used to being on my own and dealing with everything myself, it's really hard to ask for help.

@NicksWorld @pawpower I mean she could have even more doggies. And more and more and more and more and more…

@pixelate @NicksWorld What the hell that is fucked up I'm so sorry. There are some kids that I kind of wonder if they can live on their own. Nostly because the parents have not allowed them to actually do anything and they are now 18 and don't know how to make a sandwich, but I don't ever say that what I say is here are the skills that she's going to need to learn if she wants to live on her own. These are some training programs that might really benefit her that kind of thing. It is not up to me to say what someone's potential is that's not why I'm here and what kind of hubris is that.

@baxaphobia @pawpower That is the mark of a good teacher. Let's just say 8th grade was very hard for teachers, except my first geography teacher until he retired and I got stuck with someone I disliked heavily.

@pawpower @NicksWorld Yeah. I act like a flesh and blood human in front of my students for that reason. They should know that I'm a person, not some Guru-esque authority figure. No matter how much my coworkers want to call me a Guru, tech wizard, whatever. I tried to get them to call me a Tech Priest, Warhammer 40K reference, but that never stuck.

@pawpower @NicksWorld Yep, they said I could probably never live on my own, in front of me. All that, in my senior year IEP. I honestly don't remember even going to any others.
