I work in with traumatized teens. There are times where they need to be isolated from their peers, but I agree that solitary is not therapeutic. Research and experience easily demonstrate that.

The reality is, though, that these systems are so underfunded and understaffed that these detrimental tactics are the only viable option.

I'm not defending the practice. I would never work in a system that uses solitary confinement with adolescents, but I have the luxury of choice.

When she smiled

When I was in high school, I hung out with a guy named "Gooch." Curiosity got the better of me, and I asked why everyone called him Gooch. Turns out, it was his last name, not a nickname as I'd assumed. No lie: I told him with a name like that, he'd end up as a supreme court justice or junky.

"I call Rule 34 on Wolfram's Rule 34."

It should be a Rule to include the hover text.

I'm really not sure how I posted here, but I'm grateful for your answer. This is exactly what I was looking for.

Trying to post an image

I'm on lemm.ee, but I can see your image. When I try to upload an image, I get a spinning circle as if it is loading, but then nothing posts.

Thanks for letting me know. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong, and no idea how to fix it. Could it be my instance? My app (liftoff)?

I did that. Then I just tried again. Still no luck. How do I determine if this is an issue with my instance or my mobile app?

I can't see my picture... Did I do this wrong?

Friend, where were you in June?!?!

Cool stuff, though. Now when I switch things up I have a tool!
