So, long story short: I've been a musician for pretty much all my life. After a massive hearing loss, I picked up drums about a year ago and I've had so many great teachers myself. Now the local music school asked me if I could teach drums to their kids. They lost their former teacher due to old age.

I have rarely dealt with children. Sure, I was a tutor for some when it comes down to languages, but teaching music? That is so new to me and I'm actually afraid.

I am all gauntles right now negotiating the deal here: I want espescially girls to learn a new intrument. They must be bored out of themselves just playing the flute, organ and piano.

So, my approach is probably this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VL5oBbriJuQ

:D

Any hints or tips you can give me? Please?

I'm a 38 years old lesbian with basically no clue whatsoever when it comes down to dealing with kids... ^^

EDIT: I'm afraid the girls want me to play pop music on the drums, and I get easily bored by that.

Watch one of my drumming teachers.

Remember no politics! LGBT people's lives can be different because the world isn't LGBT inclusive. We all face challenges, but LGBT people can face particular ones... what are some of them?

Y'all it's bout to be 100 degrees all next week where I am. My ideal temp is between 60-70 so I'm wilting at the thought.

I love love love layers and accessories, but that is difficult right now. So here's what I've got:

• loose, open, light-colored cotton tops that can be worn over a tank top.
• hats that allow ventilation but keep the sun out of your eyes.
• lightweight jewelry can be layered.
• I don't step outside in any degree weather without sunglasses.
• if you're pulling your hair up, there are all kinds of bows and scarves that will add interest without adding insulation.

If anyone has tips for staying fashionable in the extreme heat, I'd love to hear them!

Man: So, if you were alone in a forest, would you rather run into a strange man… or a bear?

Panel 2 Woman: Oh, hmm… I think the bear.

Man (angry): How can you say that?

(Bear looking quizzically through the window)

Panel 3 Man (angry): You're demonizing men! It's misandry!
