Trying to move more of my dollars away from Amazon so yesterday I actually went shopping.
Joanns - People sad over the closing, giving project advice, helping each other find stuff. Ulta was just women giving advice and compliments in every aisle.
I needed the reminder that not everyone is trash.

Hot girl summers include doing your local library’s summer reading challenge, btw

Habeas corpus dates back to the Magna Carta, which was signed by King John, arguably one of the worst Kings in English history.
Trump wants to be a king so bad but he can’t even rise to the level of this guy:

Just a reminder that habeas corpus isn’t just some obscure legal term in Latin, it’s literally the only thing standing between you and being thrown in a dark hole for the rest of your life.

here’s a curse word free version of “look it up” as requested by countless teachers and librarians 🥰😘

This semester I switched from reading intervention, to math intervention.
My hill to die on? These kids are getting 3-minute math fact drills, every damn day. On paper. Every operation. Fifty problems at a time.
What I never anticipated? THEY LOVE IT.

This really puts that “reply all” mishap where you cc’d your coworker in a bitch rant about your coworker in perspective

Watching “The Electric State” and I am flabbergasted at how over-talented and under-utilized this cast is.
You have Giancarlo Goddamn Esposito and Stanley Fucking Tucci sharing a screen together, and you made your “stars” Chris Pratt and Millie Bobbie Brown???? WTAF?

Leslie Knope warned us #ParadiseHulu

As the mom of a boy whose shirt drawer looks like this, I am BEGGING schools to stop with “Spirit Days” that are all, “Wear Purple!” “Dress in crazy patterns!” “Dress like a teacher!”
For the love of god, when can we get a “Wear Neutrals Day”?!?

If you’re participating in the economic blackout tomorrow, please make an exception for small, locally owned businesses.
Every dollar you can shift from Amazon and Target to a mom-and-pop is a dollar that isn’t going into Trump’s pocket, but is strengthening your community instead.

Students begged me to let them watch a movie while they did their work. “We can multitask!”
Baby, you can’t even unitask.

Valentines Day in a middle school is the most chaotic combination of sugar and drama since Willy Wonka nerfed those kids

Kendrick Lamar's Superbowl performance is why funding arts and humanities matters. We have Kendrick because his teacher introduced him to poetry and writing.

Gen X… I liked it when I first heard it, although I missed a lot. I’ve actually been enjoying today having people point out symbolism and hidden messages because it means I get to go back and watch it again to catch it. The best performances are layered and reward multiple viewings!

Hey NYTimes — *now* you’re lighting the beacons? NOW?!? After months of “Sauron: Avatar Of Evil… Or Extreme Uniter?” thumbsucker reporting you’re screaming what we’ve known since 2015? Fuck all the way off.

Can I put “always open to answering questions. just don't ask stupid ones” above my desk?

Please please tell me that you are first going to reassure kids that they do not have to have passed Beginner Evil before attending your Medieval lecture

I was an elementary school librarian and I overhauled our DDS. You could frequently hear me yelling out decidedly non-elementary-appropriate language whenever I found a particularly egregious example of Dewey’s racism and sexism encoded on our shelves. I wish I had Dorothy Porter stickers instead!

Men are trash and if you want to stop me saying it, you’re going to have to prove me wrong first.

The Anne of Green Gables series, but especially Rilla of Ingleside. Not only is it one of the best WWI novels, in my opinion, it offered adolescent me such an important non-US perspective.

Enjoying what’s probably my last bowl of strawberries for a long long time

Robert Kennedy said if he had a time
machine he would go back and stop his kids from getting their vaccine shots. Really, Robert? Those are the shots you would stop in the past when it comes to your family?

Especially after a big meal… I made a cranberry curd tart for Christmas and it hit just right. Sweet citrus is underrated.

I don’t know enough about baking chemistry to offer advice, but I might need your recipe because a) I *want* cookies that don’t spread! and b) those sound delicious

Having to do my mandated Sexual Harassment training today was… interesting.
“Federal law prohibits…”
Not anymore it doesn’t!
“The EEOC protects…”
Does it though?
“Title IX guarantees…”
I’m just gonna stop you right there.
