A Jill in Illinois

However much we love this, remember it definitely hurts Vance more.

The White House v @whitehouse-47.bsky.... • 1h What's up, Bluesky? We thought you might've missed some of our greatest hits, so we put this together for you. Can't wait to spend more quality time together! • • Community Notes @communitynotesof.bsky.social User added context This administration is full of pedophiles

still the funniest thing I’ve ever had an account banned on any platform for

BREAKING: A memorial for Kristi Noem’s dog has been erected in Chicago

they should let people who feel shame run things for a while

One of my greatest works, Canon in Don't Engage.

My students are spinning lore that I have a twin somewhere in town. While my counterpart must also be a middle school science teacher, they are male & blonde

My students were quick to reassure me that I'm the evil twin in the scenario.

I await further developments from 1st hour.

But your honor, it’s my Birthday??

I just hope they are actually feeling scared. So many of these monsters are rich and have resources to protect them.... it's depressing af

"Ms. G? Can we go outside?"

I mean, yah, it's over 50, but it's cloudy and grey and 8:47 on a Thursday, so no. But nice try getting us out of class. Thinking outside the box.

A metal fire escape chute on the side of an old rev-brick schoolhouse. A kid sits at the bottom of the chute.

Had to show my students what fire drills in my small town school looked like.

Managed to not growl like a feral dog at kids for trying to explain searching on the internet to me or how a browser works today.

I have a master's degree in library science and ran a Help Desk for over a decade.

Need to bring in my yoga mats. I'm hosting the kids who are hosting for Ramadan, but my floor is too filthy for them to pray on.

8th hour just requested I play Queen while they work.

Your regular reminder that the world IS indeed a vampire.

Okay, I got bored and switched. They're supposed to be reviewing my brilliant slides on heterogeneous vs homogeneous mixtures, so put on music without words.

In reality they're secretly working on their social studies packets and occasionally throwing a green ball when they think I'm not looking.

"What's that noise?" partway through 2nd hour. It's Dazed and Confused so fair.

Even though it's only Wednesday, I decided we're getting the Led out today. Let's see who complains first...

Trump's Caribbean Surge Nears $3 Billion Price Tag So Far The operations around Venezuela that eventually led to the capture of its president pulled in nearly a fifth of the US Navy’s surface fleet at a cost of more than $20 million a day.

Bloomberg says we've spent $3B on Trump's invasion of Venezuela.

Which is 6X more than the cancer, Alzheimer, diabetes, and heart disease cures they've cut to pay for it.

We'd beg the teacher to let us then watch the movie backwards. Sometimes they'd agree.

The greatest was the time we were (for some odd late-70s reason, lost in the mists of time) watching a film about the demolition derby.

Seaman Bryan K. Lee was never found.

My left ear is so clogged I can't hear out of it and I'm feeling dizzy. It's a great day to be a middle school teacher! Let's gooooooo

Joyce Carol Oates @JoyceCarolOates how is it possible to cram so much ignorance--"English-Scott-Irish origin" -- into such a small space? miracle of a person said to be "world's richest man" has no more grasp of US history than a crumpled paper tissue underfoot in a men's restroom not recently cleaned.

joyce is going after elon again

IT'S A FALSE HERRING

Don’t ever let society squash those contrary spirits!

Just read about a death on Facebook and I couldn't find anything nice to say about the deceased, so went with the Midwest classic "I hope his family finds peace."

Most will read what I wrote and think "Oh how nice."

Reader, I am not being nice.

A graphic in pink, blue, and green that illustrates how recent many Black History events are to the current day -- ranging from 1619 to 2024.

I'm sure we've all seen the graphic that lays out the United States ' relationship with slavery. It's good, but I never thought it was quite impactful enough. So I made my own.

I've used a few key events, including my birth, to highlight how recent these events are in history.

1 square = 1 year.

Holy crap! That’s … a lot. I ain’t grading all that!!

Down 5 pounds!!! ugh.

At least I have today off, although I'm still bitter they merged Lincoln's bday and Washington's bday in exchange for one measly President's Day. And certainly no Casimir Pulaski Day!

Look on the bright side. All this puking is surely the kick in the pants I needed to lose some weight this year. Once I can leave my bed/the couch. 🤒 🤢 🤕

Do the Dutch not know about Jake Paul?
