Can anyone think of a good educational-sounding reason to have my class cut out and glue together paper models of space observatories?
I'm a single undead gal trying to make it in the big city. I have to start somewhere and they're evil here. They don't judge. They've got necro-tempered glass. No burning up. A great medical plan, and who needs dental more than us?

Um, because physical and visual interaction with the subject increases retention? And space stations are cool.
I know nothing about education, can you tell?

Totally true! I just need to find a way to make space telescopes the subject.

And space stations are cool.
This was going to be my suggestion as well.

Yes. Ooh! Maybe, instead of making them take notes and do things while they're waiting for the glue to dry on their OTHER construction project! Except... what about when THIS glue has to dry? Maybe not. Oh! OH! Okay, I know what I'm doing.

I really want to mention that until this year I didn't know I could be so tense that I was physically vibrating. Like, to the point that other people could see it. I can't figure out how to work it in, though.
Perhaps something to the effect of "[shitty management practice] has caused a significant amount of stress, sometimes with physical manifestations."

OMG, hungry/hangry kitten is adorable. Strange Christmas man is not. Armchair tattoo is AWESOME, not bad. Especially if the person has a good reason for it.
Okay, this is the cutest thing ever. Little Alibelle was very thoughtful.
Totally adorable.
so close to her new job that she could walk there if she needed to. I'm jealous.
That's pretty sweet.

Yeah, I'm guessing whoever put together the page is not aware of the reputation of the Charles Eames chair.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Clearly not. What's funny is the comments -- it's like 50% "all tatooes suck and prove your unemployable" and 50% "yeah, except that the chair is BRILLIANT". And one person who liked the back full of hair-metal band logos.
