Sometimes I forget that this is what really matters when it comes to teaching these humans who are learning to become adults. 🥹

You're welcome. Happy Thanksgiving, y'all!

Sometimes I think it’s going to be the librarians who will save us all.

Yeah, the game was against the Raiders, but I'm happy Sanders was victorious in his first start as an NFL quarterback... especially given his lack of first team reps.

I pray that I never have to demonstrate the depth of strength (and grace) that Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg has had to throughout her life.

“Tell your children who the cowards were.”

Red pandas, best pandas!

Resoundingly ahistorical and profoundly stupid!

LET'S HUNT!!! #GoBirds

And so it begins... GO BIRDS!!! 🦅 🦅 🦅 My season of mismanaged stress and emotion begins.

For folks who claim to be an ally and want to do the work, there is no better time to serve as a hedge of protection for folks celebrating.

It's a damn shame! A girl can't express her preferences without getting laid off. Enjoy your retirement, Ember. 🥹

Thank you, @BlueJays 💙 This is bigger than baseball

we do not publicly shame cybertruck owners enough

I think the president believes that our taxes are tribute to him. Which should be front page news but neither our media, etc. etc.

I don't like wishing ill on anyone as a general rule, but sometimes rules must be broken. May he and his comrades never know peace.

This tattoo, by InkedMongoose on IG, is perfect. No notes.

People think I'm kidding when I say that I'm just trying to keep this 2/5ths of a person over the next 3.5 years.

Oh my gracious!

Ozzy going out after raising $190 million for sick kids and a Parkinson’s cure is metal AF.

Of all the organizations that did NOT need to experience lays, it is the Department of State, which if you recall has also "assumed responsibility" for the functions of USAID. This is a devastating decision and will have implications on US foreign policy for decades.

It's a Martina McBride kind of Independence Day for 2025, y'all.

This administration's motto should honestly be either. "Punishing the Poor" or "Menacing the Marginalized"

Pretty sure this was an entirely Republican situation

"Pope Leo says so!" An additional point to justify me teaching the Politics of Sports beyond the fact that it's fun, students enjoy it, and they learn A LOT about politics through a unique lens.

Live your life so millions of your fellow citizens don't take to the streets to tell you to go fuck yourself on your birthday.

Remember kids, bullets don't stop until they hit something. Make direct fire control measures great again or whatever #GWOTcomeshome

Holy hell... 😳😳😳

I love this city! It is committed to its brand. 🤣

"I used to pray for times like this, to rhyme like this So I had to grind like that to shine like this"

I'm so excited to read this book and assign it in my classes!

The apology didn't even spell Sanders' first name correctly. Folks need to leave these men alone. 🤦🏾‍♀️

My beloved little hometown was devastated. 😢

To anyone who is not clear: The First Amendment protected Rumeysa Ozturk when she published her op-ed. The same way it has protected me. Rule of law means that we should be treated equally.

gentle reminder to international friends that the American citizens who are most in danger from all this did the most to try and prevent it

From the holiday light shows to the concerts, the Wanamaker Building and its organ hold many lovely memories. I pray that yesterday did not mark my last time entering the buildings doors, hearing this majestic instrument, and seeing the bronze eagle in interior atrium. 🥹

Happy Match Day to all who celebrate! #MatchDay

I've unlocked a new level on the Auntie Scale. My years of prepping the battlespace are working nicely.

Folks out in these streets talking about God will provide/ God will protect/ God will make a way, but I'm not sure I read the same Bible as these folks. Old Testament God terrifies me for many reasons, including because He gave us free will.

Wave that wheat!!! Very nice, @debbiejsr.bsky.social!

They tried so hard and failed so miserably. What did they think we were going to do?! #GoBirds

Wife to Musk-loving family: You don’t get it. Brad and many others are wondering what this power grab means for their jobs and benefits. Family: WHAT? He’s one of the good ones! Folks, they’re so close to getting it — they never will though

Happy Kansas Day, y'all!!! May we all forever hate the slave state to the east of my beloved Motherland. #TotheStars #FreeState

Who was the cretin of a human being who didn't vote for Ichiro Suzuki as a first ballot Hall of Famer?! I bet this fool also didn't vote for The Kid in 2016. Get over yourself, jackass! 🙄

A group of middle school/ high school aged girls are walking up the street singing "Aaron Pierre. That's Mufasa" 🤣 It's the most adorable thing. 🥰

On 31 December 1995, Bill Watterson published the last ‘Calvin and Hobbes’ comic strip. It is a celebration of joy, friendship, and love, which is an appropriate reminder for kids of all ages at the start of every year. #goexploring #practicecourage #LIVElife

Headed to APSA 2025? I’m putting together a panel on new approaches to military effectiveness. All methods + time periods welcome! (We have an experiment on discrimination and unit cohesion, for example). If you’re interested, send me an email.
