A Tired Teacher

Oh, the students can't write a paragraph you say? Did you ask them a purposeful question? Teach them the disciplinary literacy skills of your content area?
No? Bite me.

A List of Things Said to Have Been Ruined by Women

🧵

Looking for schmedium sized purse recs- I need something that holds one of these big chonk books I've been reading but not as big as my work bag.

Sitting at an outdoor cafe before my nail appointment with just my cardigan. In November. This is not right environmentally, but I love my city.

Me and my stack of blue books are at peace. The children can still think and write.

Don't care if I sound cold, it is what it is

Thank you for explaining that, because I was lost

I'm so relieved that I am probably going to get sick immediately.

no longer waiting for the asteroid

Killing the dreams and wonders of children may be the greatest crime AI techbros have commited.

Fresh copies of The Magic Fish

New Novel Study Day 😍📗 @trungles.com

Fresh sheet Sunday gets me through the scaries

The grifters are out in force today, y'all.

If someone is offering any kind of education service (consulting, training, etc) and they advertise in a grammatically sloshy way, it's an immediate no from me. Like goodbye.

Read aloud will always be my favorite. I'm giving an Oscar worthy performance 5 days a week.

it's crazy that if you're a cat, your only two life outcomes are eating out of a trash can or getting treated like a little baby

I am on the edge of something I have prayed for since I first started teaching. 14 years of teachering. I won't be giving up when we are 95% there.

A cat is seen riding a bus. They are standing up and have their front paws on the back of the front seat.

this is what will happen if mamdani makes bus rides free

When I say I dress for other women, this is what I mean- this sweet lady on the bus just complimented how my Jordans, purse, and water bottle all match.
YES. THEY. DO. ✅️

The Class of 2026 is my reward.

Bribed the children with extra credit to go to an author event- I knew they'd enjoy it, just had to get them there.
Y'all the pictures they sent as their proof of attendance. Melted my heart.

I'm not taking credit for inventing this but last night I made my favorite garlicky soup broth with kale and then I boiled pierogi in it. "Pierogi soup" was a hit. Will make again.

The essays I could write about my love for Fruit Riot

Yall I've been thinking about this nap all day.

I love that 😍

"Miss you dress very elegant. How come you're doing that?" may be the nicest compliment I have ever received from a teenager.
Answer is because I have to be a role model and can't just wear sweatpants anymore, because I have to be a leader. But lord I wish. 😭

No wonder I missed it. I draft in docs and I am running behind!

Oh yuck- I hadn't noticed that yet.

And every day I thank the man upstairs that I ain't you and you ain't me
