I've been slowly uploading my backlog of movie reviews to social media individually, but if you'd rather see one 20-minute video of 25 movie reviews from awhile back... here you go! youtu.be/wBBWZ3XfLnQ

So the therapist my healthcare provider assigned me short term was sometimes helpful, but I'm OK that we're done because this was how our final session began today: Me: It's spring break, so I'm relaxing, playing board games, hanging out with my husband, watching movies. And catching up on work.

Every play has That One Prop You're Never Going To Use Again. This year, it's this one 😂 Probably just going to hang it in my classroom at the start of next year.

The autistic urge to end every explanatory statement with “does that make sense?” - because you fear you’ll be misunderstood for the 10000th time.

I was looking up whether Mandy Patinkin was in Six Feet Under, and Google's AI overview said: "Mandy Patinkin, known for his roles in shows like "The Good Fight" and "Hulu's Death and Other Details," is not known for appearing in "Six Feet Under" or any other TV series about death."

Me: I have a lot to do. I'm stressed about that. Therapist: Make a schedule with dates and times. Me: Oh, that has historically been very unsuccessful for me. Therapist: I bet you haven't given it a fair try. Just do it. Me: Okay. (One week later)

I'm legitimately making an "annoying middle school meme catch phrase" bingo card for myself to keep my sanity in my 4th period class. 😅

WAITER: may i take your order MARY: i’ll have the lamb WAITER: what size MARY: little WAITER: would you like it to go MARY: sure, to go

Silly idea: A high fantasy novel that follows every trope, but all the mythical creatures have the wrong names. Dragons are goblins. Orcs are elves. Trolls are faefolk. And this is never addressed, just casually say things like, "The goblin flapped its reptilian wings," and watch people work it out.

I have a dilemma. I need to go take a shower before I'm too tired, but my husband is watching The Music Man, so I keep saying, "Well... I really love this song, so I'll go once that's done," so now like 45 minutes have gone by and I'm still watching here because every song is too good.

My improv kids this week made my new favorite restaurant slogan: "Here, the tacos aren't snakes." Way to subtly cast suspicion on competition without getting sued for slander. (Ofc, later in the scene, the taco WAS a snake and bit the customer, so they might not avoid lawsuits altogether.)

ok, TL cleanse: Peggy found a very good stick at the park and carried it all the way home

I'm just a wolf who's intentions are good oh lord please don't let me eat Red Riding Hood

FAFO in response to people losing basic rights is not how you build a coalition. I reserve FAFO for the agents of chaos and enemies of progress specifically now. Everyone else, welcome to the resistance.

Under the circumstances I hereby formally ask Fleetwood Mac if we can please stop thinking about tomorrow.

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS sweeping nationwide injunction against Trump DEI executive orders finding that they violate First and Fifth Amendments to the Constitution. A huge victory for @democracyforward.org and its clients. A stinging loss for Trump. Visit www.democracydocket.com for details.

For all the USPS's faults, Americans have to realize: It's one of the best postal services in the world, even after being kneecapped by DeJoy. Fight for our postal service, guys. I know I will. It is an essential public good.

they've already reversed policy on this one under pressure - www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

Washington Post is reporting that the US Gov't program to send free COVID tests to households will be shut down tonight, and the remaining tests destroyed. If you haven't already ordered yours in the latest batch (autumn 2024's) it's super quick & easy, price $0.00 covidtests.gov

Flow is on Max, and it is incredible. Go watch it.

It's DEEPLY irritating to be getting sick right before a week long vacation. Like, come on, body, wait two days so it doesn't look like I'm trying to get a head start on Caribbean cruise travel or something 😂

One of the things I appreciate most about my little car is that it's so small that it's very easy for me to confirm that there are no murderers hiding in the backseat. Because, like, where could they even go?

I guess today gets to be "explain that disabilities disable" day for me on social media, lol. Today's springboard topic: plastic straws

Got to my classroom and it was 58 degrees. A little chilly, so I turned the heater on and now it's 43. That's...not helpful.

Today's rule I didn't think I'd have to make for my classes: Don't throw the pen I let you borrow over the fence.

Begging some hero in the Department of Ed to rename the student loan record file folder "DEI training materials" before unlocking the door for the DOGE bros

I hadn't thought of Yorgos Lanthimos as one of my favorite directors before, but after my reaction to Poor Things last year and Kinds of Kindness today... maybe I need to rethink that.

The House Republicans listed below are vulnerable in 2026. They will only vote to cut our benefits if they think no one is watching. If you live in these districts, or know anyone who does, CALL NOW and tell them to keep their hands off Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid!

Reps called. Still not able to leave a voicemail for Schiff, but Padilla's inbox let me leave one, although I'll have to speak faster next time, the time limit is quick!

Me: Any of you have a question you want me to ask in the daily school poll? 6th Grader: Well... this one might be TOO personal. Me: Oh my. OK, well, what's your idea? 6th Grader: "Do you prefer Lilo or Stitch?" If that question's too personal, I'm even worse at small talk than I thought.

If you haven't been failing lately, you probably haven't been learning. Redefining my relationship with failure has been my biggest challenge of my 30s.

One of my newest current reading projects is reading one book from every country, in alphabetical order, since I really don't read enough international fiction. Only a few in, but I'm currently reading "The Meuersalt Investigation," a retelling of Camus' "The Stranger," and it is great.

Read diverse books every month. Read diverse books every month. Read diverse books every month. Read diverse books every month. Read diverse books every month. Read diverse books every month. Read diverse books every month. #BookSky #BlackBookSky

I don't know if anyone caught it during the Treasury rally today, but. Rep. McIver straight-up said that her Republican colleagues are leaving their phones off the hook because they don't want to hear from their constituents. THAT is what Dems should be preaching from every corner, every day.

I was reminded of CBAT tonight. Now I'm curious, what are your favorite ridiculous Internet bits that never fail to make you laugh when you see them referenced? CBAT is up at the top for me, right alongside 30-50 feral pigs, and "bigger than before."

Called my reps today. That's something. And now I do it again tomorrow.

I'm glad that America is doing real classic end of empire stuff. A king who is visibly losing his mind declaring a war based on a dream he had. Greedy courtiers feuding over access to the treasury. Some looks are timeless.

The entire archive of CDC datasets can be found here. HUGE shoutout to data archivists- this work is important 👏🙌🏻 archive.org/details/2025...

Recent reads, rec'd by friends! "The Devil In Pew Number Seven" by Rebecca N. Alonso, a memoir about a pastor's daughter whose family was terrorized by a member of their congregation for years. It's an interesting story, but I'm not sure if it was enough to fill a book. 5 out of 10.

I wonder what would happen if we all started acting like there are no more rules, since that’s apparently the case now.

For anyone following me for acting stuff: I'm hosting a virtual play reading of A Doll's House by Henrik Ibsen at 1pm Pacific on Saturday, Feb 22nd. $10 to participate (friends & fam can message me) If you're interested, you can sign up directly here & pay with PayPal: calendly.com/hannahpodcas...

Despite Donald Trump’s claims on, disabled people did not cause the plane crash at DCA. What a dangerous, repugnant, morally reprehensible thing to say to a nation of people who are shocked & scared and especially to the grieving families of people who just died in a horrific and unimaginable way.

Just a glimpse into what kinds of things might be on my projector screen at any given time in my classroom.

"I Don't Want To Live On the Moon" as sung by Ernie just came up on my random. Sigh. Maybe I do, Ernie. Maybe I do.

Remember… Musk did this exact same thing to twitter employees. He never paid them. Also, there’s no money allocated for this. There will be no severance package. If you’re a federal employee, STAY IN YOUR JOB. It’s next to impossible to get a federal employee fired. MAKE THEM TRY.
