I have never been appreciated on Teacher appreciation day.

Adventures in flying. My flight into DC was supposed to arrive at Regan at 2:30 and was instead diverted to Dulles and I had to cab it back. Last night my flight back to PIA was canceled and I rebooked it. When I woke up at 4 it was canceled again and now I’m having to fly into BMI 45 minutes away.

That’s not how it works.

Because, again: Disability is the only minority anyone can join at any time, & which everyone will join, if they're lucky enough to live that long.

A disease, a quirk of genetics, a bus, a bad fall from a curb. Anything. And the only thing we have that could consistently make this fact survivable…

I reset the WiFi lamps. I changed the one named “living room light” to “couch.” I now say, “Alexa, turn on couch” and it’s a lot more fun.

My foster Peggy Lee had a leg amputation, spay, and dental today and is being treated for a bad ear infection. Wish her quick healing.

COVID-19 Wastewater Levels in the U.S. Chart shows national trends of SARS-COV-2 viral activity levels in U.S. wastewater

According to the latest CDC COVID-19 wastewater data, we are currently in the second-biggest surge of the pandemic.

It will peak in the next week, with ~2 million infections per day. During this surge, ~100 million people total (~1 in 3 people in the US) will likely get COVID.

Boy, 13, Is Believed to Be the First to ‘Beat’ Tetris Willis Gibson, a competitive Tetris player prodigy from Oklahoma, advanced so far in the original Nintendo version of the game that it froze. “I can’t feel my fingers,” he said afterward.

A 13-year-old competitive Tetris player prodigy from Oklahoma advanced so far in the original Nintendo version of the game that it froze and his score read “999999.”

“I can’t feel my fingers,” Willis Gibson said afterward.

Does anyone else still get about 20 feet from their car and think, “oh crap, I forgot my mask”?

Sending healing vibes.

I reassure them that missing a class because their sick isn’t going to kill them, but getting me sick might.

I tell them I’ll fail them if they get me sick.

Maya didn’t want to do photos.

Jersey says whattup?

Cutest dog ever

Diggory says hi.

Every worthwhile American cuisine has one of four origins:

1. Invented by ethnic minority that wasn't allowed to eat regular food

2. Invented by cult to stop masturbation

3. Asshole customer, chef revenge

4. World's Fair

Poor Maya isn’t feeling well. After $1000 in tests, nothing showed, so she’s had fluids and is home.

@edhead.bsky.social is this thing on?
