The students in my classroom aren’t just tired — they’re running the same race their parents are losing. I keep wondering what happens to a country when its children stop believing in the finish line.

Dear @joyful3.bsky.social - your voice was the one I needed to hear today. Thank you.

Everything Is a Crisis (According to My Brain) Written between acting classes at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts, and dedicated to Laura, who taught me theatre better than my brain’s panic musicals ever could.

My brain turned a lost key, a semicolon, and an ex-boyfriend into a full Broadway production. Spoiler: it was not a hit show..

STOP TALKING ABOUT ME.

I feel you, though. So much.

You are very welcome. Andreas has been a source of soul nourishment for me for a great long time now.

Also, I raise a glass to you for using unbeknownst so smoothly. Isn't it wonderful to meet articulate folks?

Holy sh!t. Are you in my brain? Love this. Thank you.

YES! YES to washing him out! FOR SURE! But the thing is...we CAN! He's not...uh...un-wash-out-able! THAT'S what WE - all of us, TOGETHER - need to remember!!

Quickly becoming my favorite part of the week...tune in tomorrow for my newest Substack, dedicated to the truly exceptional, graceful and gracious Laura Schulman. (With a slight glass-tip to @brianjayjones.com - can you find it?)

I loathe him as much as any sane person. But if we exaggerate like this...he WINS. He WANTS this power, this persona. DON'T INDULGE HIM.

Ultimately, he's insignificant compared to "we the people" and he will do whatever he can to hide that fact.

He. is. weak.

WE have to make him REMEMBER that.

Look. I hate him as much as any saner person. But if we exaggerate like this...he WINS. He WANTS this power, this persona. DON'T INDULGE HIM. He's tiny, he's insignificant, and he is doing whatever he can to get people to IGNORE that. He. is. weak. Make him REMEMBER that.

The lampposts look particularly sketch. Do you see how they're not PERFECTLY spaced? Sheesh. It's like they don't know we're watching. 🙄

(That wasn't my best rejoinder, but I decided I didn't want to be silly with any of the actual people.)

Not even this question: "Do you get tired being right all the time?" 😘

No.

Wow, that was easy! Next question?

As a HS English teacher, what I hear you saying is "I wish my English teachers forced me to read a lot more books in HS"......

I do not doubt you, nor disagree with the mal-intent....and...do you have proof? We HAVE to make sure we're staying above board on our accusations.
