Having a great time meeting up with friends at #ACTFL2025! @waysidepublishing.bsky.social @waysidepublishing #waysidepublishing

RFK Jr. Vowed to Find the Environmental Causes of Autism. Then He Shut Down Research Trying to Do Just That. While touting a $50 million initiative to identify the causes of autism, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is helping lead an administration that is rolling back protections against pollution and toxic chemicals,...

I wonder if you even thought to ask why Kennedy is focused on autism instead of anything else

A former #student came to see me today. She was on FaceTime with a friend and said to him, “This is my favorite teacher.”
It’s so validating to know I made such an impression on that kid. I really had no idea.

The thing about the Epstein disgustingness that strikes me hardest is that hundreds of rich old men raped underage girls and the only person currently in jail for that vile behavior is a woman.

Matthew 25:35: For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat

Trump 2025: “For I was hungry and you burned enough food to feed 1.5 million children in the name of government efficiency

I believe nothing she says ever.

I ran into a woman I know whose son died a few years ago. I told her my mom needs to move into a nursing home. She said, “ I’ll pray for you both.” I thought, “Her only child is dead and she’s going to pray for ME?” I was so moved by her kindness I’m still crying.

I need to stop responding to right wing nut jobs on social media. There is no point and I will never be able to change somebody’s bias. And yet, I just can’t help myself.

I wonder if Abbott made any kind of statement after the killings of the state representative and her spouse last month?

Hubby and I are fostering a dog. Today I left her alone to run some errands and she was absolutely overjoyed when I returned. I think she likes me.

Your Prime Day reminder that half of Amazon warehouse workers struggle with food & housing costs.

A third have had to rely on government assistance like SNAP — which is about to get cut.

If Bezos can spend $50M on a wedding, Amazon can afford to treat its workers with dignity.

Happy birthday! Today is my birthday too!

We’re calling for a Florida boycott over the inhumane “Alligator Alcatraz” detention site. Cancel your family vacation and choose a different destination this summer.

In 1999, a drunk driver killed two people, my friend’s 13-year-old daughter and her best friend’s mom.
Local police stopped the driver last night and charged him with a DUI.
This is so painful for those of us who knew those families 26 years ago.

Me: DOGE is mining our personal data.
MAGA: But the #illegals!
Me: Cutting Medicaid will result in the closure of rural hospitals and nursing homes.
MAGA: But the illegals!
Me: We’re the ones paying tariffs.
MAGA: But the illegals!
Me: Cutting USAID has caused people to die.
MAGA: But the illegals!

Mike Travers: Decontextualized learning does not lead to language gains.” #Langchat #riflaonline

I was not expecting this ever…

I really liked Mamagama’s song.

It is possible to hate what the government of #Israel is doing to the people of #Gaza and not be #antisemitic.

When the #Eurovision25 winner was announced, my viewing party erupted into cheers not because we were overly happy about who won but because we were relieved that Number 2 didn’t. Congratulations Number 1!

Holy crap these jury douze points are going all over the place. This is so exciting! #Eurovision25

One of my #Eurovision25 guests said that Kyle from Norway looks like Juni Cortez from Spy Kids and now I can’t unsee it

I thought at least in the top 10. I guess I don’t know anything either.

Is #Eurovision25 filtering out audience boos during Israel’s performance this year like last year?

So excited for Saturday’s #Eurovision2025 final. I feel this year that there is no obvious front runner, and it is kind of exciting to have no idea who is going to win.

And I am SO MAD

What?!? NQ for the Milkshake Man?!? WTF is wrong with you, Europe?!? #Eurovision2025

I am in love with the lead singer of Napa from Portugal. I don’t know how anyone can sing and play guitar with a constant smile on their face like that. I’m so excited they qualified! #Eurovision2025
