Today was my first #WaiKru at my school in #Bangkok . A lovely ceremony where students ask teachers for blessings. They hand out flowers and the teacher gives a blessing for the year and ties a string around the student's wrist. I was not expecting much as I am new, but I gave enough blessings to need a display, in my best chemistry way. @edutooters
The waste beaker after today's chemistry class was quite pretty.

Today is a day at the immigration office. Brought snacks for my kid and none for me... This is how riots start.
There have to be some Pokefriends out there...

First date-night in Bangkok with my husband and another couple. Beer, all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ, beer, then The Rock Bar for a Greenday/MCR punk cover band and then the first couple songs of a Limp Biskit/Rage Against The Machine type band, and cider. Such a good night! 🤘🤘#TheRockBar #Bangkok #MetalMusic #LiveMusic

I will literally try every possible social media to avoid using Twitter, so Mastodon here we go. I am a researcher and I love studying biological fibres, but even more I love rearranging biological data collected by doctors, biologists and zoologists. This is why I am working on a bio data-collection app.

It has been a hard week at the new job. It is still the right decision but I am out of my comfort zone and being challenged... Peak growth stuff. Short term solution to the stress and discomfort; vodka, chips and dinosaurs (Fallen Kingdom today)

I have done a lot of teaching in low-socioeconomic areas and am pretty good with student care issues that can relate to that situation. I learned today about students at the other end of the money scale. Affluent neglect is something I had never heard of but quite common at my school (it has boarders). Not sure what to look for so I will have to ask questions #AffluentNeglect @edutooters

Since Johnny Carson hasn’t been on the Tonight Show for over 30 years, younger audiences might not get the “Here’s Johnny!” reference in The Shining, so they should update the iconic scene so Jack Torrance says “It’s a me, Mario!” as he sticks his head in the axe hole in the door.
If today's PD lunch was anything to go by, my new school should be just fine. #food #schoollunch

"People don't want preservatives or things that alter the pH in what they eat."
Man, chemphobia is so frustrating.
Any compound that ionises to yield either H+ or OH- can alter pH.
Vitamin C is an acid (ascorbic acid). Vinegar is an acid (acetic acid).
Baking soda is an alkali (sodium hydrogen carbonate).
Anything you eat goes through your stomach which contains hydrochloric acid at a pH ~1.5-2, yet blood pH is ~7.4 (when healthy)
So turns out I am probably going to need a work laptop. I am however, now living in Thailand and really want to stick with familiarity and use an Australian layout keyboard. Import tax on this would be huge... So... Anyone know how to work the system to get an Aussie laptop in and NOT have to pay crazy fees on top? Ideally not a second hand one (I know could probably get one of those on forums/markets) Any @edutooters got ideas?

@DrRacheal Are you still posting here? I hope I can still message you online somehow. 🖤🖤

Hehe, Donald Duck Pocket 151 (Germans know it as Lustiges Taschenbuch, not sure if the series are the same as our Dutch ones, but they both have the same Italian artists) has references to a game the kids play which seems very similar to Warhammer. In this case they call it Warbanger.
