Why didn’t Trump order flags to be flown at half staff for National Guard member Sarah Beckstrom like he did for Charlie Kirk? 🤔

See? It is the season of the witch!

You look sweet, though. Not witchy like me!

I always play the Karen...
"You better shut that kid up!"

No better anxiety to endure than real life shit from that "older white lady" to teach them to not have kids till they can perform under pressure!

I was 33 when I had my first. I had plenty of real life training on OPKs before then.

Let my dad read my writing for the first time since 4th grade (44 years ago).

He told me it was good. "Pretty damn, good, in fact."

I will take that.

What Lent becomes even more meaningful.

It's almost a diagnostic tool: Tell me how receptive someone is to the use of AI in schools, & I'll tell you how they view schooling itself. The more ambitious your understanding of education, the more skeptical you'll be of AI.

I am attending my ladt Curriculum Nightas a parent. Bittersweet.

I am exhausted and coming down with a cold. I teach ... And I am doing this for my Baby Boo.

I might only go to half of the classes.

A ‘gut-wrenching’ waiting game: measles reaches Spokane – RANGE Media A Spokane family feared the worst when their newborn was exposed to measles at a doctor appointment.

Measles was once considered eliminated in the United States, but is coming back in some communities as people choose not to vaccinate themselves or their children. SRHD identified 4 exposures and 1 positive case from Sacred Heart Children’s Hospital.

#Ragebaiting and #Trolling shouldn't be paid professions, side-gigs, or hobbies (done for 'fun'). Rewarding bad behavior begets more of the same. It's petty middle school mean-girl/bully behavior. Can't you all just find a way to use your powers for good instead of whatever the heck this is?

Did anyone look at which states use unpaid prison labor? How about current governors using said unpaid prison labor?

If we are putting people on blast, let's put people on blast.

You want it to end for real or just outrage baiting?

Make our nation better. Stop just making things worse.

I did.
Crazy person

Why I don't teach k-5
...

I remembered to do that, which is rare. You, though, seem to have all your ducks in a row by Sunday nights.

Change in routine this weekend?

High achieving ADHD much?

Bless all 10th grade English teachers!

To my 10th grade English teacher, who said, “Make the conclusion count.”

The great @dlaufenberg.bsky.social mentioned an assignment she did: she asked students to bring in and present on an image that depicted what America means to them and I did it.

I’ve never been more proud and heartbroken in my entire career.

The children are not alright and they shouldn’t be.

Twitter is so racist, sexist, bitter, and, honestly, vapid.

#DCI2025 BD is coming in HOT!
I love ❤️ it!

Your Hip Surgery, My Headache, by David Sedaris Getting Hugh home after his hip replacement involved a thick cushion and a car with legroom. “Ow!” he said whenever I tried to help. “You’re making everything worse!”

“By outsourcing Hugh’s care, I had shut myself out of his recovery. Now I wanted back in, but it was too late.” A new Personal History by David Sedaris.

Not that I can recall. Is that a thing?

Good night

I feel every one of those we do not cares.

About to sleep the sleep of grades done.

Yup.

Sandyhook shooter's mom bought his gear, too. Look what happened to her.
