Early video game designer: Okay, weâre just about done with this level
Video game designerâs manager: Great! Did you figure out what to put at the end?
designer: Yeah, we put this tough, nasty, mean, ugly monster that the player has to beat. We made sure killing the monster feels as rewarding as possible.
manager: Cool! So whatâs it called?
designer: The boss.

manager: whyâs it called that

I think a big part of the reason I love cryptids is that theyâre literally the only subgenre of conspiracy theories where you can be reasonably assured it isnât secretly about hating Jews. Like, when people talk about aliens or lizard people or sinister banking cabals, at least 80% of the time when you look up the foundational literature itâs a bunch of Antisemitic rot and âlizard peopleâ is just a codephrase for âJewsâ, but there are very few neo-Fascist whackjobs out there claiming that Bigfoot is Jewish.
Like to bid Bigfoot âShalom!â

Mothman is Jewish, I went to his Bar Mitzvah
I saw the chupacabra behind a kosher deli after shul

I am currently both a teacher and a student, and I am of the apparently controversial opinion that late work should always be accepted. Not just if they have a doctorâs note or their momâs death certificate. Not just for one or two assignments a semester. Always.
âBut thatâs unfair to the people who submitted on time!â
I didnât say you had to give everybody full credit. Drop the grade for each individual assignment by 5% for every day late until it gets down to 20%. Never, ever take it below 20%.
Hereâs my rationale:
1. If you are a good educator, then you created that assignment in the first place because YOU WANTED YOUR STUDENTS TO LEARN SOMETHING. You still want them to have an incentive to complete that learning experience even if itâs not âon time.â
2. You want to prepare your students for the the real world, right? Well, if you missed a deadline (for example, submitting report cards), would your boss throw away everything youâd worked on, dock your paycheck, and tell you to try again next time? No. They would be upset with you, but they would ask you to take time out of your schedule to finish the project as quickly as possible. It wouldnât cease to exist.
3. Based on point #2, if you are teaching high school or below, not accepting late work is holding children (who by the way, generally do not have full control over their schedules or what materials they have access to) to a higher standard than adults.Â
4. If you are teaching college or graduate school, you are working with adults who are taking years out of their lives and paying thousands of dollars to learn from you. Why make it harder for them than it already is?
5. You have or will teach students with extenuating life circumstances that they donât tell you about (e.g. chronic illness, caring for children or sick relatives, abusive relationships) because they are embarrassed to share this information or have already been taught to shut up and stop making excuses.
6. You have or will teach students with learning disabilities that they donât even know about. I was diagnosed with ADHD in high school after years of being treated like I was just a bad kid. I suffered from depression and anxiety for over ten years before I went on medication. I did not even learn the words âexecutive dysfunctionâ until I was in grad school.
In conclusion, yes, we all know that being a teacher gives you authority but thatâs no reason to flaunt it by imposing restrictions that donât exist anywhere else in the name of âeducation.â
All of this. In addition, I have a private and secret policy of not even imposing late penalties. Between poverty and an undiagnosed circadian adventurousness, my undergraduate career was one gigantic extenuating circumstance, but I was never docked marks when I turned in something late. For me to turn around and not extend the same grace to my students would be both ingratitude and hypocrisy. Â
