The only good thing about false spring is being able to get into my orchard and do some pruning to get my trees ready for actual spring. But this was the first time I’ve ever done this so I just hope I didn’t ruin my trees! #orchard #FruitTrees

Short track finals were insane! And that was for the longest distance. I LOVE speed skating! #olympics #ShortTrack #SpeedSkating

There is NO WAY the French should have won ice dancing gold. Chock and Bates were technically superior and more fun to watch. #olympics #IceDancing

🚨 Epstein survivors release this powerful PSA in advance of the Super Bowl demanding answers from the Justice Department. This is the Super Bowl ad every American should see. Spread it everywhere.

It's not splitting hairs. It's something we take seriously and *train people on* in Minneapolis. Here's a common graphic that we shared around a lot during the uprising. It matters. Especially because you know they're not taking the time to do accurate alt text on their videos.

“To love another person is to see the face of God.” Les Mis destroys me every single time 😭

My sinus drainage has morphed into a full blown cold.

I am wearing TWO layers of socks and good boots but I had to take a break to come inside and warm up my toes. It’s been about 80 minutes and I’m halfway done shoveling. But first, we thaw.

My anxiety has been on high alert for several hours now for no reason. It’s Saturday. I’ve been calm all day then bam. Anxiety.

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional! ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

Just as everyone predicted with the exception of Donald Trump, Scott Bessent, Howard Lutnick, and Kevin Hassett. The last 3 knew they’ve been lying, not sure with Orange Caligula because he’s a moron and a liar so in his case it could be either one or both.

Because of the dangerously cold wind chills school is closed for students tomorrow. BUT staff still have to report to the buildings.

Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth have tried to silence me for speaking out. Today, I’m fighting back because this isn’t just about me. This is about the rights of all retired veterans and all Americans, and I’m not going to let this Administration take those away.

Winter break is over. We return to the real world with a day full of meetings.

I have lost my glasses. They are in the house somewhere, but they are grey which means they are camouflage and therefore lost forever. Now all I have are my backup pair and my contacts. 😡

Sunday Scaries, with nausea, and I don’t even have school tomorrow!

He and his people have decimated our ability to adequately defend this country. One well-placed strike and our country, possibly the whole world, is over in a couple of hours.

Had dinner with two former students. I love being able to see them and hear that they are doing well in life.

Grades are verified. It’s finally winter break!

BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed a bill that would subject immigrant children to invasive bodily searches and keep them in detention instead of releasing them to their families. The Senate must vote no on this horrific bill.

Today was the first day of exams. Then I had two back to back meetings after school.

I love it when we get the snow day call the night before!

This. Was. Wasted. Snow. Nobody wants snow on a Saturday (unless it’s Christmas Day)

Nothing says racism, cruelty, hatred and weakness combined in one quite like the orange felon removing all free access to National Parks on federal holidays that honor black people whilst giving free access on his own birthday. He should’ve been sent to jail forever.

Back to the Future the Musical was both fun and funny. While I am not a huge fan of the movie and will not see the musical again, I am glad that I can say I have seen it. #broadway #musical

It’s Giving Tuesday. Did you donate to an organization that aligns with your values? That supports your community? That is giving back and using the money in a real way?

Snow Day!!!

Why does thanksgiving break always go by so quickly?!

My post thanksgiving tradition continues. Hot chocolate. Decorating the tree. The Knight Before Christmas on Netflix.

The Harry Potter Forbidden Forest Experience was so much fun. Cold, but fun.

The Rockettes are the best part of the parade.

Omg. My 90 year old Papaw is a certified Swiftie. We are watching the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and he just asked me why that Swift girl wasn’t on it!

I hate change. Even when it’s my idea. Even when I know it’s good for me. I hate it.

Physical therapy calls it dry needling because the needles aren’t hollow, but acupuncture still feels so weird!

I have a bruise on my shin that I don’t know how I got. This morning, taking down the chairs in my classroom I hit my shin with a chair. Lightbulb moment.

Why is it that when you wake up in the middle of a good dream, when you roll over to go back to sleep you can’t be back in the good dream. But when you wake up in the middle of a bad dream and roll over you end up in that same bad dream?

It’s snowing in November. It’s quite. It’s peaceful. But I still have to go to school.

Yesterday was my favorite day of school. It was Schoolhouse Rock I’m Just a Bill day!

Halloween decorations are down. Melvin is drying out before he gets out all the way away. Cute scarecrows are out for Thanksgiving. Why are there no good Thanksgiving decorations?

My computer decided to update in the middle of first period. While we were doing notes. Super convenient. That couldn’t wait until 3pm when school was over?

"There is enough money to bail out Argentina with $40 billion. There is enough to purchase a brand-new aircraft for $173 million for the Homeland Security secretary. There is enough money to renovate the White House ballroom. But there’s not enough money for you." - Sen. Brian Schatz

Yesterday I was so tired I couldn’t sleep, couldn’t room scroll. Just sat there with my phone in my hand disassociating. Today, wide awake.

Foundations project #1 is done! Three more for the semester then who knows how many for the second semester.

ICE is now the 13th largest military in the world on its own. Never ever accept the lie we cannot pay for Universal Healthcare.

Hoopla just did an update and now I’m locked out of my account. I feel like this happens a lot with them and their updates. Why are they so bad at this? I just want to listen to my book!
