This Is So Adorable

Crank Green World Hippo Day Cut and Assemble Hat/Headband Pattern

My favorite holiday is world hippo day, February 15th, which falls during the project for awesome this year. To celebrate world hippo day Ive been making some crafts that I thought some folks here might enjoy as well, and this is by far the most *abstract*. Attached are 8.5" x 11" patterns for print and assemble Crank Green Hippo Hats, which is simply put: Hank Green, as a crab, as a hippopotamus, as a Hat. There is a black and white coloring book version and a pre-colored version. For best results print on cardstock and assemble using staples, but tape and copy paper will also work! Happy World Hippo Day and P4A to all who celebrate, and keep up the good work of fighting to decrease world suck!

if you ask me, the guy who put the sword INTO the stone should be king, not the chucklefuck who got it out.

Free Educational Resources for Teachers and Students

With Trump's talk of eliminating the US Department of Education, I want to compile a list of free and accessible materials for students, educators, and continuous learners.

Project Gutenburg has a library of over 70,000 free eBooks and audiobooks, with particular emphasis on those in the Public Domain.

The California Department of Education has compiled a list of Free Educational Resources that were originally meant for distance learning during Covid. I think these are primarily for grades K-12.

Library Finder is a free website that can point you in the direction of your closest local library. Libraries are an amazing resource for literacy programs, community outreach, computer access, and much more.

The University of San Diego has compiled a list of Top 24 Educational Resources for Teachers. Most of these are free, free with ads, or free with an account.

National Geographic has a list of Education Resources on their website. I highly encourage everyone to explore the website on their own time.

PBS has a bunch of different educational resources on their website that you can browse easily by subject and grade level.

Please add more resources if you come across them. This is by no means a comprehensive list.

Education is a right, not a privilege.

The duality of man is thinking “children cannot help themselves and we all need to be patient with them as they explore what it means to be human in public” and also “damn, I wish this crying baby was not on the plane rn :/“

just ate a shrimp for the first time, didn’t die, but also unsure of all the hype around them

Ahhhh mutuals I have been suckered into helping with a baked sale, any recommendations for things that are popular and cool and hip with the youths???? The only two things I can think of are those cookies that pillsbury sells with the spooky shapes on them. And maybe sunny buddies, the delicious sunflower butter knock off of muddie buddies but I don’t know if people would want to buy that???? Please give me your most Pinterest mom, secret family recipe, popular baked goods requests please I am begging you, thank you so much!

We've sold 2025 so far, and to fund the program for 2025 (ok, weird that it's same number, but that's literally the number we sold as of 5pm Eastern lmao), we need to sell about 5000 total. Pretty unlikely that's going to happen but... I can try!

My mom yesterday: why do my kids refuse to try new things? You have to have the exact same bra and the same shoes and the same stuffed animal and the same breakfast every morning and the same brand always! Why does it matter?

And I’m sitting here like mom it’s the inherited mental illness. From father.
