This year I have multiple Valentines and they're all made of silicone.

Growing up Mormon makes this title read very differently than it would for most Christians.

Paint doesn't stop cars. Concrete does. Today I'm team concrete

The public comment period is over. The committee has voted unanimously to get the Cerberus skeleton

My co-worker's partner works at a tattoo shop and he just texted me about a flash sale they're doing tomorrow and unless the universe tells me no I'm going to end up with a Cerberus skeleton on my leg. www.instagram.com/p/DUWTtHPEszq/

Every time I hear someone say, "I never learned this in school" I assume you just weren't paying attention. I learned about religion as a motivating factor for the founders. I learned how to do my taxes. Your decision not to pay attention is a you problem, not an educator problem.

Everyone speaking in favor of this bill (all non educators): This gives teachers clarity and support. The actual teachers in the room speaking against it: This bill makes our job harder.

Currently seated next to a bunch of members of the Eagle Forum and I'm pretty sure they're here to speak in support of one of the bills I'm here to speak in opposition to.

The fuck? Do not, under any circumstances, download Epstein media

I have today off, so of course I'm spending it at the state capitol meeting with my representative and hoping to participate in public comment at the education committee hearing today.

It should be illegal for Trevor Lee to propose new bills

I fell each of these in my bones

Letter: Trump’s racist video of the Obamas was aimed directly at his base of white nationalists. It was not a mistake. Burgess Owens would do well to understand that.

Every teacher, coach, secretary, assistant, etc. that takes advantage of their sacred duty to care for and protect their students deserves to be thrown directly into the closest active volcano. 1/

As a general rule: Good marriages don't end in divorce. Good marriages have already turned bad for a while by the time divorce comes around. 1/

I would pay a month's wages to LDS Philanthropies if Dallin Oaks, at the next LDS General Conference, were to give a talk in which he said, "Stop sharing your testimony at every possible opportunity. 1/

Post a banger that isn't in English? I get pumped every time this comes on. Thank you, high school Spanish class. youtu.be/pmYtefifbx0

Bad Bunny’s performance began in the plantation, featured broken electric poles, and ended by centering a hemispheric understanding of “América”—among many other things—and some Anglo journalists are like “his performance wasn’t political.” This is why we need to be telling our stories.

lol stay mad

This is the most uninformed thing a person has ever chosen to write.

My mom had a bag of chocolate kisses shipped to my house for Valentine's Day.

I kinda want to show up to the Super Bowl party I'm going to in my pup hood and insist I'm part of the Puppy Bowl.

One day I was at a dinner party with a bunch of queer friends. As we were finishing the main meal the host said, "Alright, time for the fruit tart." I chimed in, "Excuse me, I have a name." She replied, "Would you rather we call you a sour fag?" I fell in love with her that day.

My brother's wife has very strict rules about what kind of candy her daughter (and I assume the twins she's pregnant with, as well) can have re: dyes, flavorants, sugars, etc. My dad and step mom keep buying things they hope will appease her. 1/

I turn on maps when driving familiar routes for two reasons: 1) To check for irregular traffic problems and 2) To have easier access to changing what I'm listening to.

Everyone's OpSec is shit, but some people's OpSec is absolutely horrendous

Demanding trans people line up behind Newsom years before the primary instead of throwing your support behind someone better is one hell of a position to take, and if you're taking it, you're an asshole.

Costco during executive hour on a Sunday in Utah is actually really nice. There were more people in the store at the same time during the height of COVID restrictions than there are now.

This thread is an overview of why I have the pocket friends I do.

I got prescription glasses for the first time ever this week and OH MY GOOD IS THIS WHAT IS LIKE TO NOT ALWAYS BE STRAINING TO SEE?! Like, my prescription is pretty minimal, but holy hell this is fascinating

It would be wrong to tell a group of students, "You're but my 13th reason why, but you are numbers eight through twelve," right?

I just had a student say, "You look like someone who sits at the back of a coffee shop and reads books all day." And there the kindest thing a student has ever said to me.

@thewheatgerm.bsky.social is my new favorite funny person

Thanks for the block suggestion. Done.

Friendly reminder that charter schools can pick their students and it's not uncommon for them to kick a bunch of kids out the day after the reporting date that decides how much money they get from the state.

I'd say MacPherson can gargle my balls, but he doesn't deserve such a pleasurable experience.

Watching the Utah Mammoth vs. Carolina Hurricanes, but the Hurricanes are wearing the Hartford Whalers jersey, and the only reason I know that is because of @hodgman.bsky.social's love of defunct hockey teams.

My home by birth and my home by choice are fighting.

Would you believe me if I told you there's not actually any proper emo music on this and it's mostly just women singing about being on antidepressant?

*screams in history of science*

Was going to write a long thread waxing poetic about the differences between slow distancing of friendships over time and (seemingly) sudden cutoffs. It boils down to, "I miss you, and I wish I knew why I have to miss you because I don't know why you don't talk to me anymore." 1/

Walking up to my house and Ex's parents' car is here. Wish me luck.

The way I love Star Wars and random science shit today is so much better than how I loved it as a youth

I have since approached both of the proximal causes of my panic attack. One went extremely poorly, the other extremely well. I'm grateful for the latter. It was a genuinely good experience of addressing a problem with someone with mutual kindness, compassion, and understanding.

There are people with principled takes on the 2nd Amendment, like the 1st. But if you ever believed that the American Right broadly supported 2nd Amendment rights, as opposed to rights for people who agreed with them, you are a fool.

Am I walking back to my house because in my rush to get ready I forgot to take my meds? Am I going to be 10 minutes late for work as a consequence of this decision. Yes.

I've been lying here, not wanting to get out of bed, for the last half hour because my pupper is snoring and it's adorable and I don't want to disturb him.
