Whatever awful consequence I can think of, I want worse to happen to them. No.’worse. More suffering. In public.

Doing my part to keep the local art gallery open and the local woodworking scene alive

This is not a brag. I live in Chapel Hill but have no tie to UNC or Duke so the Duke UNC game is a complete surprise to me every year. It explains why Franklin St was so busy last night.

The people who owned my parents’ new house planted English Ivy. Recently. Whyyyyyy

Immigrant family tenant farmer who left school after eighth grade to support his family, lied about his age to join the Army in WWII, then gear smith WWII Navy and electrical engineer

Oh my god

Election Day!!!

"The Islamists oppose women getting an education," I mutter, as I aim my missile at the girls school

Small potatoes but I’m helping my parents get bids from contractors a la @tressiemcphd.bsky.social and, yesterday, a painter found out I’d lived in St. Louis and spent five minutes trying to get me to give him a racist reason to explain why St. Louis is so violent (his take).

Saw it at 3 am when the toddler woke up. Guillotines now

Oh no I looked at the internet again and the people are idiots

We got a local measles outbreak email from daycare. Goddamnit. Vaccinations are required at our daycare with no exceptions. Guess what? I work at a school! Where many kids have exemptions!

Why does absolutely no one knock before trying to open a bathroom door in a restaurant these days. Wtf.

How’d that bending over for Trump turn out for you Cornell?

Holy low flying military helicopters tonight batman

I’m home alone* and I’m resisting every urge to sit up and watch Reacher on the big TV until the toddler wakes up. *the toddler and the ten year old are asleep and we have to get the little one to daycare at 7:30 tomorrow and be at work by 8:00

The aurora last night in Beaver, Alaska was just incredible. This is a real-time video (not sped up) of the crazy motion I saw. Also, look how BRIGHT it is, wow!

I’ll definitely do National Boards before doing an education PhD. No way I’d do that in my 40s.

I just found out that a 2026 STEM Education PhD stipend at a flagship state university ($22k) is significantly less than a Biology PhD stipend in 2012 ($30k). Sheeeeesh

Is forcing all of these men to castrate themselves and eat their own testicles constitutional? Asking for a friend.

I have a fifth grader and a toddler. On a remote learning day (no daycare too), the divide between those of us who had kids in March 2020 and those who did not is as wide and deep as the Mariana Trench. They are stressed. We do not care at all. It’s a nothing blip.

This is dope

I come from the land of the ice and snow. I made the most of these two inches.

Today in Rochester, NY. All the weird ducks. My brother took these.

I know people are pissed at everything else but someone is actually having an imaginary argument with me on The People’s Internet trying to say that landlords can’t afford to replace old windows because custom-sized windows are expensive. I have bought 21 custom windows and two exterior doors.

Psssst it’s free streaming through Kanopy

You too should see this thing that @garfunkle1.bsky.social made

Yesterday a realtor unsuccessfully tried to tell me that the local market is humming along like normal. Mmmkay bud. He had his own three bedroom house on the market for 6 months last year and it didn’t sell. Delusional

*sigh* I was hoping to enjoy the first Jack Reacher book but the dialogue is really poor. Every character ends their statements with “Right?/OK?/You understand?” and Roscoe is such a nothingburger. Abandoning after being halfway through

I guess my call tomorrow will be a thank you

Thinking of you @sarahmackattack.bsky.social

Wowsa

Abolish ICE is not enough. Stern words for Greg Bovino or Kristi Noem is not enough. We need prosecutions and trials. Anything short of this position fails to address the gravity of this moment.

I have drilled gas generator safety into my NC middle schoolers this week Signed, An upstate NYer

0.25-1” of ice predicted. Oh no. i’m currently unapologetically charging my brand new whole house backup battery from the grid. There’s not enough time to wait for sunshine to power it up. I am pretty psyched about having this system up and running in time for the storm.

About to take 8th graders on a field trip to Raleigh to learn about evolution and democracy on a paired science + social studies field trip

I don’t believe in hell but these people really make me wish I did.

I’ve shared the most recent NWS Raleigh models with every one of my classes for the past two days. Significant chance of dangerous ice. Almost no chance of snow.

It would be very nice if Duke Energy would hurry along and get my solar system with backup battery online by Saturday. County inspection is tomorrow. It’s operational already but not yet operating.

May the leaders of the new world order shoot Trump in the knees, metaphorically I guess

While we wait for the trees to start their spring burst of growth, it is worth looking at winter details. The intricacy of the bark of this Kentucky coffeetree, Gymnocladus dioicus, is worthy of study, as is the bark of most trees. The coffeetree twig, stout with tiny buds, is very unusual.

Why are our elected officials not all standing in front of the White House screaming, refusing to leave. They all have god damned residences there.

Trump just needs reform I guess. Just like ICE. What a nightmare.

Post a car picture you took

Again, just a Rochester girl watching the Bills game vicariously through @erinbiba.bsky.social
