The world is a horror show, but we're going to Philly for March Madness in three weeks. Trying to find moments of joy amid the despair.

My feed has been filled with spring training updates and it brings joy. Go O's!

I'm not interested in the Superb Owl for any reason other than it is the last checkpoint before Spring Training.

Phile.

If you adjust the tracking it will become clear!

This morning I left voicemails for my representative and senators. I doubt they'll listen because of who they are, but there might be a shred of humanity and decency there.

I enjoy Built to Spill's version.

Forget the toss, I'm just furious they're not having a coffin flop half-time show.

I was inspired to write a poem while proctoring state testing yesterday.

No electronic devices beyond this point.
Do not begin until I say.
25 paces wide
I can't help you, but I can read that again for you.
26 paces long
Did you answer all the questions?
I'm sorry you have to do this.

It's a treasure. Thank you for creating this mashup of the gods.

I wish he'd resign. I'm in PA. I knocked on doors for him. I'm so angry

Wait, my beloved O's signed a big name free agent and he's not over the hill and past his prime? What is going on in this timeline?

I made a helpful flowchart for folks hope this helps:

Are you a random person not connected in any way to higher ed who has strong opinions about people receiving accommodations for their school work?

Shout out to all my teacher and professorial comrades teaching this week. Goodness, the kids are tired, the brains are fried, and YES WE HAVE SCHOOL TOMORROW!

I can offer a USB to PCI adapter for that old keyboard.

The bag and box of cables are not obsolete. They're relics of a bygone age! If someone needs to connect and early 2000s digital camera then I can save the day!

Middle school teacher here. I do bolded step by step directions. Literally step one, do this. Step two, this.

It is ridiculous how much I enjoy this every week. Great job, Lucy!

Agreed. Have there been bad seasons? I'll hang up and listen.

I don't post much about work here, but today was a good teaching day. Make a group of 7th graders "water engineers" in charge of controlling the Tigris and Euphrates and good things happen. This Village Elder thinks the kids are all right.

It's September, which means the O's can't make the playoffs, but they can still run it for others. Maybe that's the true meaning of Orioles Magic.

Is UNC as bad as Emily? I'll hang up and listen

As a former AP Euro teacher, I award you full credit and will cover for you. Josie was in class during C Block, so there's no way that thing was her fault.

Manifest.

Great work! Also love the moments you get to sneak and baseball into the show. Any chance you could work in a comparison of the O's to the Marlins and which franchise is in a better place?
