Ooh, does that mean crab Rangoon is the Asian grilled cheese?

Well, it IS taco Tuesday, you know?

I am, too! Any ideas on where to relocate?

Can I get an amen?

Odd, that is exactly what we have right now, too.

Pretty much what I came here to say, too. I work in MA and I was earning around 60K by year 16.

Hallelujah!!

They don't need a warrant A federal kidnapping in Worcester

This happened in my neck of the woods. Still heart rending, including a police force that formerly said they wouldn't do this at all. What happened to us all?

Can we send Vance to the Kremlin to kill Putin next?

This needs some Chinese eyeliner...

YouTube video by MSNBC Oops!: Trump's first 100 days marked by incompetent screw-ups and frantic walk backs

Tr*mp countdown day 96 of 1461

Rachel Maddow gives an excellent overview of Tr*mp's first not-quite 100 days, as only Rachel Maddow can.

Honestly, if the political situation has left you hopeless, watch this - RM shows that, as bad as it is, it's not as bad as it seems.

Yeah, and tRump has has undue process.

And thank you for sharing that joy!

NHD - Left for Dead by Pete Nelson. I loved telling my students that kids can make a difference.
National History Day, Gorn said, had received notices canceling the unpaid remainder of two multiyear grants totaling about $825,000.

Great peek at a true artist!

Good for you! I love that for you!

We want to demolish museums and libraries, fight morality, feminism. …

What's even sadder to me is the couple was also including text messages!

The other night, Barbara McQuade bsky.app/profile/barb... mispronounced (on purpose?) the WH press secretary's name. Leave-it instead of Lev-it. I think this is a trend that should continue!

Spoke to a lovely young woman yesterday at my book club. She & her husband are long time DoD employees. They have promised each other to never write anything on media anywhere that could cause trouble. Also said morale at her office is awful.

MeidasTouch News One reviewer alleged she was called "a b*tch"

Trying to think who to ask, maybe meidastouch.com? After all the news stories leading up to Feb. 28 about an economic black-out, what happened? The silence from the news outlets is deafening. Why? Did it not work? Or did it work so well that people like Bezos do not want to acknowledge it?

At 71, I took my first yoga class. What a revelation!

I was just thinking...we need protest songs! Songs helped move people in the 30's and 60's. Maybe your students can write protest songs?
