In a hilarious turn of events, i have been gifted 167 origami frogs from my students that ive hung from the ceiling rafters in my room.

My school is also using my room for state testing for the next two weeks lol

(no im not taking them down!!)

Gynecology is a scam

Random advice:

Don’t try to teach 4 7th grade classes 3 days after laparoscopic surgery

I haven’t had eggs in like a month and I’m ok. Well, regarding eggs. The fall of our nation is quite upsetting.

In a normal timeline, "Kanye used Superbowl ad time to sell swastika t-shirts" would be a top news story but here we are in the hell universe

This is an unconfirmed statement but has been true for me in my classroom as a teacher of mostly 12-14 year olds (and some juniors)

Kids have been using wayyy more racialized language since the inauguration and unfortunately i dont have more to add than … thats concerning but makes sense 😬

Hey its been rough but i have successfully made it through January without gnawing half my hand off so uhh…. Thumbs up for that i guess

Sometimes i just start thinking late at night about the odyssey and how cool oral poetry is

Oh look, its the robber barons, the ones people warned would try to rob us! It looks like they’re coming to rob us. How could this possibly happen?

They’re saying Elon’s not smart enough to build a submarine capable of visiting the wreckage site of the Titanic. They’re saying he doesn’t have enough money or gumption to do it. They’re saying he’s too much of a loser that he couldn’t even find four to five friends to bring along with him.

Truly on the worst timeline

Like im sorry but im so fed up of seeing people only using leftism as a marker of moral superiority.

Part of the ideology is that NO ONE needs to suffer at the hands of the state. And that includes poor republicans.

The ‘i hope you get what you voted for’ of it all is going to kill us all i fear

Laughing at republicans having epistemological crises because the systems and people they believed in are now failing them is not the read yall think it is

Upon reflection, the most valuable skill ive ever learned is how to have critical conversations with children in a way that doesnt make them feel shame

My honest first thought when elon did *that* was ‘how do I interact when students start copying?’

Happened today and. im glad i thought it through.

Kid asked the reasonable question “why did elon do it if its a nazi thing? I thought grown ups were supposed to know better?”

Yeah… heartbreaking.

Today in class i forgot my laser pointer so i used a trident from a mini poseidon figure to point to words as students were reading

The yearbook photographer came in as i was, essentially, pointing to greek words with a magic wand

Without downloading any new pics, where are you mentally?

Its nice seeing almost every reddit sub im in ban x links. Feels very good.

A linguistics professor was lecturing his class. "In English, a double negative is a positive. In some languages, like Russian, a double negative is still a negative. But, there is no language wherein a double positive can be a negative."

A voice from the back of the room piped up, "Yeah, right."

We found our CD collection and we’re going through them with our 19 yo daughter. Why does every song from the ’90s sound like it belongs in a movie when a guy packs up and drives away from an apartment complex.

…. Did you just refer to HARRY STYLES as PUNK …..

I would like to be alone with the Costco sheet cake now, please.

I know this sounds really unreasonable, but maybe congress could pass a real data privacy law and then it would be safe to use apps even if their owners were maybe a little malicious.

I fear we are losing the plot i just saw a nature photo tagged as “earth porn”

I’m just a girl, standing in front of a classroom, asking them not to give me norovirus
