#Purim is a holiday celebrating the triumph of a downtrodden people over an arrogant, genocidal moron and his incredibly stupid hat.

Can’t think of any modern parallels though. Not a one.

Tales from the teaching frontier

Me: so what do we think “midstream” means? Do you know what a stream is?
3rd grader: yeah it’s when you do a YouTube or a blog
Me: I
Me: no but context clues, “I was midstream in the water and”
Me: wait
Me: so you’re not wrong
Me: but we all need to go touch grass

A white cat with toasted marshmallow accents, wearing a red and black check harness, is sitting on the seat of a Lime ride share bike. Why is he up there? How will he reach the pedals? Is there a market for cat bikes?

Daisy, Daisy, give me an answer word
I’m half crazy for chasing after bird
I’m stylish in my vest
It’s giving ek ek eks
I’m looking sweet on the seat
Of a bicycle built for Lime

10 years ago on NYE I drunkenly called this guy I’d been on a few dates with to explain to me how to use the wine opener at the house I was dog sitting at and the confusion this man felt was palpable

Reader, I married him

I would move mountains for Mabel 😭

I just got my yearly cookie email from my designated Emergency Girl Scout and it is now a very good day

Teacher sentence I never thought I’d have to say in all earnestness to VERY UPSET children:

Yes, dogs have knees

Also realizing that I am three days behind on my crabvent calendar from @sarahmackattack.bsky.social (I’m counting down to my birthday instead of Christmas lol) and now have THREE crab facts to learn tonight is very exciting

You know you’re at the right trivia night when the hosts pause to announce that not only is Henry Kissinger dead, and not only did the crowd cheer, but the hosts think they killed him with terrible trivia-related horror powers

Comment for name of trivia if you want to attend :)

A dramatically lit white cat with toasted marshmallow accents sits on top of a standing mirror. There are portraits of skeletons behind him. His tail is curled towards him like a gently beckoning finger. He is staring at you. It doesn’t matter to him if you hear what he has to say but - what do you have to lose?

This dramatically lit #cat has a side quest for you. Press A to accept

A white cat with toasted marshmallow accents wearing a red and black check harness and a leash and a man in a black sweater are waking away from the camera on the sidewalk surrounded by leafy trees on a fall afternoon, like they’re walking out of frame in the last show of a movie about two guys being pals

A white cat with toasted marshmallow accents wearing a red and black checked harness walks deliberately past a fallen leaf, while a delighted man with a beard and transition lenses watches him go. The world is your catwalk
