I’m at about a year and a half teaching in-person after being remote for years, and let me tell you. My chronically ill body is so over it šŸ˜… those lights are a big no for me too

The prison industrial complex begins in k-12 with those ghastly lights!

you're funny, but true that. I need soft lighting from the right angle, please šŸ™šŸ»šŸ¤£ and fluorescents are brutal šŸ˜Ž

Thank you, and SAME. These lights are so bright they are dimming mine šŸ˜­šŸ˜‚

I have never identified with one of your blogs more (and I’ve been here since Tangents 🤣)

If I ever lose my current job and have to re-enter the non-remote world, things are gonna get real weird real fast.

šŸ˜®ā€šŸ’Ø Yeah it's a BIG change, but not necessarily a bad one. Besides the fucking lights.

I have been teaching for 15 years!! The number of times I have googled "makeup that looks good under fluorescent lighting" ... it's not zero, I'll tell ya that. Also I teach middle school. The audience is poised to CRITIQUE.

Oh man I can’t imagine! This week I had a 9 year old girl told me that while my pants ā€œslayedā€ I should basically burn Nike Cortez’s šŸ˜‚

Tell that girl she is wrong about the Nike Cortez.
