I just remembered that I have candy in my backpack but also remembered that I did not bring my backpack inside so that’s unfortunate

I just have to remind myself how absolutely fucking insane this timeline is. I can’t let this be normal.

The tired truck that hit me yesterday spent the night backing up so it could run me over again this morning

I have a feeling I will want this later

The last thing I dreamed about before I woke up was that I was having lunch with the POTUS and he spilled tea (literal) & I was cleaning up the table & he made a threat about how I’d learn & I said that’s great, learning is what I live for! And then on the way home I got kidnapped by ICE.

Someone mentioned “over planning tasks instead of doing them” and dude. Uncool. Just let me live.

@nnedi.bsky.social was amazing at GWT today & I wish I’d been able to stay to return this evening to hear her speak again. Also - huge win - I had students asking what class they had to sign up for as juniors to be able to come back to the conference next year!

Today at lunch a student looked at their phone, shook their head in disbelief, & handed it to me. I was fully expecting to see a message from an out of pocket former friend or ex Imagine me trying to control my facial expression when it was actually a civilization level death threat from the POTUS

My dogs have spent so much time in their crates today I’m starting to feel like I just have really big hamsters

What is a protein latte why are you putting protein in coffee what the hell is wrong with you

I love this story

Sorry guys I accidentally mentioned the Warren court on Monday so now we are losing all our rights one SCOTUS decision at a time until the unit test

The #gotd is “clown event still possible”

The thing is my kid used to bemuse waitstaff by ordering broccoli instead of French fries, but that was when he was 4.

Except me, I’m interested. I will put down whatever I’m doing to try to keep track of your insane dream logic while you say “oh and I fogot about this part but I think wait maybe that happened later?” then ask you unnecessarily detailed follow up questions

Okay but spite motivation is the best motivation

I am filled with a burning rage on behalf of Dolores Huerta (And all the others as well) But I keep imagining spending essentially 60 years with your name inexorably linked to that of your rapist, with their name first, & feeling like you had to just endure in secret lest all your work be undone

Fucking Christ I said less topical, I cannot mention a single name without there being a current fucking event connected to it, I need to stop bringing my phone to school (no idea how I’ll log into anything with out it but you know what? It would be worth it just to avoid topical for a single day)

I spent two days staring at snow & pokemon & missed that the US is attempting ”regime change” in Cuba again. Please stop making my history class topical I just want one week where nothing in my collection of Cold War political cartoons is mistaken for sly commentary on current political affairs

One thing I love when the temperature is -5 is not getting out of bed

I might need a poke-intervention (The topia kind not the fish kind)

Last night I dreamed that a cat moved into our house and this morning I keep expecting to see it places

The #gotd is “ Monday-morning-quarterbacking the choices of the Proterozoic Eon”

Okay so 冰 is ice and 水 is water which, cool, but also 冰 sounds like bing and 水 sounds like shui and that I don’t get at all. Idk how anyone learns any language ever it’s actually amazing we can read and write in our native languages tbh

Just cancel school already you cowards

The #gotd is “woke Zamboni”

Westbrook was my kid’s favorite player from the time he discovered basketball & I just keep holding my breath every time there’s a story about him afraid for him to turn out to be horrible & I’m so relieved every time the story is just more decency

We’ve been reading some of our favorite sections from @nnedi.bsky.social ‘s Death of the Author aloud in class & I’m now down to just 4 copies left in my classroom, these kids love nothing more than a messy bitch clapping back at her haters I have no idea what they will think of the ending

My hot take for the morning: battles are boring in basically every medium

The #gotd is “don’t be so careful in time of death”

Big brother behavior

“I understand the meaning of the words you are saying but it doesn’t make any sense” girl same

Uhhhh www.reuters.com/world/middle...

Time change can bite my entire exhausted ass

What it if I quit my job and downloaded pokopia

PGpa I have no idea, but I guess he worked for a lumber company according to the internet SPGpa was a farmer & a maintenance man at a school MGpa #1 I’m not sure? I guess he owned an orchard? MGpa #2 I think ran a laundromat, but also had a farm? MGpa #3 was an electrician? And a Korean War vet

Ugh, time to yell at my Alma mater again

The #gotd is “Profoundly insignificant game of leisure golf”

Sometimes, I worry that by saying “i know that didn’t happen, but you can see why they would expect it would” after talking about the Szilard petition ever year, I will eventually conjure nuclear annihilation

It’s dog grooming day! One down, one in process, one left after that

Shit the memes look like we are at war did we start a war while I was sleeping?

Why the fuck does a driver's license need a sex marker on it in the first place

Very sad about the ending if mass market paperbacks. I generally just read library ebooks but I still have shelves of paperbacks, which I greatly prefer over hardcovers in terms of physical media.

Me when I walk into my room:

#booksky another title I’ve been struggling to get through is DAVID GRANN’s Killers of the Flower Moon. I saw him speak at a conference and I’ve started this one several times, but it’s just too much reality for me & I never finish it before my times runs out.

It gets difficult at 1400 and unreadable at 1100, for me. I will admit to really only reading the first paragraph of each section though

The gotd is “crack paddock”

I have not seen the ANTM documentary but to pretend we weren’t judging the fuck out of it *at the time* is disingenuous. That’s like if people were to look back 29 years from now and say “everyone once thought this video of RFK & Kid Rick was normal”

If this isn’t real I don’t want to know

Today in nobody needs to hear my opinion on this but I’m going to share it anyway: Olympic skating! Obviously this shows amazing skill and her performance is flawless but what I really love is that she genuinely seems to enjoy it so much. That’s a skill too, oftentimes — conveying joy
