So how was the burrito?
Morning sun.
That would throw my back out of alignment.
Yeah, but I want something cushy between me and the office floor. The block is a good idea.
Someone please invent the yoga desk. I would ideally be able to check email in pigeon pose.
I have to summon enough energy to file my taxes. Feels like a cruel joke.
Because food is not a verb, but you can eat some eats.
Of all the ever-loving acronyms about university processes.
I would definitely have learned more in college if I started taking classes when I was older 🙂, but then again, being a student helped me develop those skills.
I just used different ways to get students to understand the material. Small group work was better, and we analyzed the parts and how they make the whole poem. I coukdn't give up if they came in without a skill I never taught them. Baby steps to literacy.
I once asked my community college English students to read poems out loud. Very few had done the reading homework, so I thought we could read and analyze together!
Nope.
Some of them struggled so much. I felt bad for putting them on the spot. I NEVER did that again. Reading is old school wizardry.
Followed everyone. Yes, please add me!
Red chile makes everything better. #themoreyouknow
I deactivated my #bluesky account for a few days to clear my brain, but I am glad to be back. I do think the algorithm is a little addictive. That I am following 10k people doesn't really help!
Is there an app for that?
The timbre of her voice was drunk Gen X lady yelling from a bar stool.
Pre-order my friend Dana's book. She's brilliant. #poetry #poetrycommunity www.cowcreekchapbook.org

Emotionally unavailable to answer any more emails today. If I do email you, it's from an empty shell.
Maybe it's fuel for something, like motivation to punch a wall or to drive like an asshat.
I wonder, too, about people who use their energy for that. You could be listening to music or walking your dog or planting a tree instead of yelling at strangers.
It's a gotdamnit, what-have-I-gotten-myself-into? kind of afternoon.
😂
I need chocolate now.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I am not ready for Monday OOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
BREAKING: The two federal immigration agents who fired on Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti are identified in government records as Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez.
Ya! Like humans, not avatars?
I need to get off the internet for a very long time. 🤢 It's turrible.
Hooray =0)
