What's the opposite of too cool for school? I'm gonna share some of my writing prompts on here--Because it might make more writing! @niceprof.bsky.social

The changeling looks just like the child, but something is just a little *off.* This myth might also have been an early account of noting neurodivergence in children and attributing it to the supernatural. 2/2.

Day 16/99 Days of Monsters: Changelings! Fairies would snatch, steal, trade, or even "borrow" a human child so that a fae can live in the human world as a changeling, and the human child must serve in the fae realm. 1/2

After grading so many awful, illogical A.I. papers, I am concerned about the breakthroughs A.I. has been responsible for in science. So it can crunch an inhuman amount of data--but we are *checking* it, right? Like, all of it?.

Day 15/99 Days of Monsters: The 7 skeletons from the movie "Jason and the Argonauts" were a stop motion marvel back in 1963. They were made from sowed Hydra teeth when Jason's enemy tries to stop him from taking the golden fleece. (My dad loves this movie so much).

Carefully packed lunch and snacks for my first full day back in the office, but 2 hours later I'm surrounded by wrappers and empty Tupperware.

But you can do art, though. You don't need a robot who ate other art to make your art for you. It's human to art.

Day 14/99 Days of Monsters: The Basilisk! This is a very old legend about a "king of snakes" that killed via eye contact. According to Pliny the Elder, though, it was a small snake (12in.), and its weakness was the smell of a mongoose. A legend that definitely gives cobra vibes.

We have a system where the course is preloaded, and you just facilitate it. So you don't have to design anything. And it is absolutely no fun at all.

Day 13 of 99 Days of Monsters: The Hydra! A Greek monster with 3 serpentine heads and poison blood, it guarded the mortal entrance to the underworld. Hercules had to defeat it for 1 of his labors (beheading/burning it to keep it from regenerating). But Wook at his wittle blep.

Maybe instead of ice breakers and team exercises we could just all have some group laptop time in the library, with a chatty side over there, and a head-down-must-work side over there, your choice where to sit, and donuts and coffee provided. Everybody wins.

There’s been years of merch like plushies, shirts, games, and more. There was even a movie made in the 80s about the little creature—the movie stars Neil Patrick Harris and is a *lot* more dramatic than you'd expect for such a fun, fuzzy, little monster. (3/3)

introduced the purple people eater (1958), but the real credit goes to the kiddo who told Wooley a joke where the monster was the punchline. The song was a brief billboard success and has become a monster classic song that’s replayed endlessly around Halloween. (2/3)

Day 12 of 99 Days of Monsters: The One-Eyed, One-Horned, Flying Purple People Eater! This musical creature, who wants to be in a rock band and only eats purple people, lands on earth and soon starts tooting its horn. Sheb Wooley wrote and performed the original song that- (1/2)

How to be a leather-jacket-insolently-popping-bubblegum-bubbles kind of bad girl academic:. When you travel for vacay, get a reciprocal membership at a museum around your destination so later those "has to be more than 90 miles from your address" limitations won't apply.

I did the recommended thing and didn't work on school things during my unpaid summer time "off.". And it's August now. Ignore that tornado siren, it's just my brain.

I will see your "47 tabs open" and raise you a folder called "documents" that has everything I (a teacher and writer) have written in the last 20 years with file names like "notes" and "for later 27.".

The curse is "I hope you have a daughter JUST LIKE YOU!". But it should be "a daughter so fiercely independent of societies norms that she threatens the lives of those who call her cute, but she *IS* so friggin cute that sometimes you'll be in danger!".

On a cuter note, Spain, Latin America, Italy, and France all have a tooth mouse who collects the teeth from under pillows. (4/4)
