Will you join me in saving the life of a former student? $5? 15? Match my latest donation of $125? This sweet girl NEEDS A MIRACLE, and you can be part of it. gofund.me/3a81a525

If your partner doesn’t still laugh react to a text you’ve already sent to three other mutual text threads, they’re not the one. 🫶🏻

🧵Austin politicians are offering rural families a devil’s bargain: $2K to homeschool or watch their public schools slowly die. The voucher bill is hanging by a thread in the Lege & Panhandle communities still have time to fight it before predatory virtual schools swoop in to fill the void.

It’s snowing. A rarity in my city, so I took my 8th graders out for 90 seconds to just experience it and come inside to write poetry. I’ll share some of theirs as they come in, but here’s mine.

I would pay $50 to see the look on my AP’s face when, in the course of conducting backpack inspections, he found a live chihuahua this morning …

ICYMI — 🚨 💰 “Trump’s tax agenda will add at least $5 Trillion to the debt”👇🏽🤔 AGAIN: They don’t care about the debt, they just want to cut programs for regular folks to make room for tax cuts for the rich. (As Trump tweets “Balanced budget!” Like we’re all morons)

@jamestalarico.bsky.social WILL be governor of a blue Texas one day.

I need someone to explain to me which part of DEI specifically they are against: diversity, equity, or inclusion. Specifically which part and why?

They are exploiting the inherent glacial pace of our judicial system. Overwhelming the courts may in fact be the strategy.

Raye’s Grammy performance was reminiscent of Fiona Apple, Amy Winehouse, Whitney Houston, and even Mariah Carey for a second. She landed like a meteor on that stage and had me wishing it wasn’t the first time I’d heard her. Wishing many hits for her.

Eggs UP Taxes UP Gas UP RX drugs UP Dow Jones DOWN Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, ACA, VA all on the chopping block. Trump was never going to make anyone in America's life easier. In just 2 weeks he's made life harder for everyone except his billionaire friends.

It’s Monday. Don’t have a cow … lift three! Go crush your goals … or the patriarchy … or both!

This week’s meal prep is a delicious combination of air cooked seasoned chicken breast, slow cooked veggies, and a high protein gravy I’m perfecting. 350 calories with 51 grams of protein?? Hell yeah. #mealprep #fitfood

Welp. Looks like I’m headed to Costco tonight.

We have reached the “uh you guys…” number of students absent mixed with the “oh hell no” number of students coughing, sneezing, and resting, so I’m now teaching with the windows open. It’s 65 outside. We’ll be okay. #AtLeastMyThirdRodeo #teaching

Life is hard. Move your body. Or horses. Whatever.

BREAKING: 23 Democratic attorneys general file a lawsuit over Trump's federal grants freeze. They argue that the administration's actions violate the U.S. Constitution and the Administrative Procedure Act. More to come.

I will cherish the years I’ve been able to teach at the same school as my spouse. 😅

I’m old enough to remember when it was the “GLB” community and wise enough to be grateful for the placement of the L in LGBTQ+ who won’t let our BTQ+ members be carved out as “not part of our community.” I fully believe we are better off with the women at the top of the ticket. #strongertogether

I am perpetually torn between frustration and pride when I can tell a student used AI to generate an email to me, their English teacher.

So … the entire point of “Miss Nelson Is Missing” was to teach a generation of kids to remember that it could always be worse?

Am begging you to share this story. We need a miracle. I know this angel personally, and I am BEGGING for help. gofund.me/5dec8d48

If “colonel” is pronounced “kernel,” should we start talking about the 13 “kernolies” and “kernolizers?”

Update #11 for @skylight.social! Now we have profile pages!! Shout out to @authorbreegranado.bsky.social! Thanks for posting such great book content to Bluesky!!

Four days post-Meta and my finger still reflexively swipes toward where the FB app used to be. I moved My Fitness Pal there just now to remind me to log my food and count my steps.

Well, THIS should be interesting. One the one hand, folks don’t want cancer … but how many of them also think vaccines are evil, unsafe, propaganda, etc? Will those folks trust this president? Will folks who innately distrust him get this vaccine?

My “brand” is joy, good things, and healthy/healing conversations, but I’m gonna go ahead and add “music is magic” to the mix as we find out community here. So, BlueSky squad, let me hear what’s keeping you breathing. 🫶 open.spotify.com/track/4JlDJC...

Not Facebook forcing a 30 day “cooling off” period before actually deleting my account …
