My position on the government these days…

So Erika Kirk IS a “real doctor” now (PhD in Christian Leadership from Liberty University), but Jill Biden (EdD in Educational Leadership from University of Delaware) is not? Yeaaaaaaah riiiiight.

I don’t like posting this, but I think it needs to be seen. I personally thought they were trying to make Ashley Babbitt their Horst Wessel. But MAGA cannot recognize a woman. So it’s this dude… posthumous awards are planned, universities are being directed by a governor to raise statues. Eyes open

I miss my father, my uncle, & my grandfathers so damn much. Would give almost anything for another day with them. But that would mean explaining what has become of the nation thar awarded them a combined 8 Purple Hearts. I’m not okay,never been depressed about losing my leg. ButWhat was it all for?

My little, geriatric chiwheenie, Smokey. He’s giving me the “Mom’s cuddling me not you” look. He can look however he wants. Doc said he has no cancer.

Like many, the colleges and universities I do adjunct work for require Canvas shells for my courses. I had created a reliable means of flagging student use of AI that has to do with my prompt formatting. The brilliant minds at Canvas insist on reformatting my prompts exposing & negating it 😡 thanks

15 homeless shot - 2 killed - in two attacks on homeless camps the day after Kilmeade spewed his venom on Fox. Remind me please, who died because of Colbert and Kimmel?

Dear friends, do something kind for yourself today. Please. Rest. Eat well. Do your favorite things. Hug someone you love way more than 3 Mississippis. It is rough and going to be worse. But we are all here because our ancestors endured worse and someone loved us into being. Hold onto the good.

If it had been 50 students shot to death in that amphitheater instead of one MAGA demagogue, we would already have moved on from this. And MAGA knows it.

Wow. So emotional. I mean he’s really broken up about it. You can almost see the tears in his eyes. www.facebook.com/reel/1580864...

True Story. 👇

I won’t celebrate his death, but I’m not condemning those who quote the things he said with his full chest. He died doing what he loved, & it’s only appropriate for his words do be his legacy. That is anyone’s legacy is; the sum of our impact on others through our words, our deeds, & contributions.

I’m disgusted by the murder of Charlie Kirk. But there are clearly a lot of people who didn’t see the murders of Mark and Melissa Hortman as politically-motivated. And they clearly don’t care much about the school shooting in Colorado either.

First- political violence is unacceptable. Second - stop giving the fascists more martyrs.

Hold Fast.

I’m increasingly nervous about the lack of real reporting from our primary news outlets. They are allowing the MAGA regime to hold the floor entirely and control all narratives. The 4th Estate needs to find its damn spine…yesterday!

An upcoming news conference with victims of Jeffrey Epstein could be “explosive,” one of the congressmen pushing for full release of the files on Epstein predicts. Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna said the victims’ accounts will force lawmakers to vote on a bill requiring DOJ to release its files.

Asked to apply for an academic position. Finally gave in and did it. Became a finalist and had to tell my current boss. She wasn’t happy with me. The uni decided to go in a (younger, cheaper, no PhD) direction. And then they call asking to discuss how they can implement the my ideas. Pound sand.

My youngest son signed up for my undergrad Psychology of Human Relations course without telling me. Then he asks me not to tell people he’s my son. Then be heckles me and critiques my lecture when we get home. It’s time to plan a gentle, but memorable retaliation. Seeking ideas from seasoned faculty

We are losing our trade partners. This does not end well.

I hesitate to post this, because all of the competitors in the SOCSOUTH special forces competition are amazing. But - I think it’s significant that the USA came in 11th out of 16 teams, and that several in the top 10 included women competitors. Is this the “lethality” that Hegseth brags about?

If only there were some historical events we could look at in order to figure out what happens when tariffs are used as they are being now… And they say hindsight is 20/20.

Remember your oath Active, Guard and Reserve…

We told them…

I just finished my first month of this school year with my “day job” as a high school teacher. All of us are burned out and exhausted. We felt that way on Day 1. My second job is adjunct instruction at a local college. Everyone there is fresh, happy, & energized. Read on for the difference…

With all the experience these guys got when they broke into the Capitol on Jan 6 that they’d be a lot better at it.

I don’t want to judge. But legacy is always fair game. James Dobson was perhaps the biggest Trojan Horse for Christian Nationalism in the last 50 years. Preaching hate while trying to be the evangelical Mr Rogers. It’s a wonder I still have any faith at all. The Law of Christ is Love.

You know they’re going to be pricks and ignore this, right?

You can beat a federal officer with a steel barricade, or a flagpole. You can even cause them to have a heart attack by tazing them in the neck repeatedly. But you better not toss a sandwich at an untrained, unprofessional poser in tacti-cool cosplay with a new, shiny badge. That’s the line now.

How long are half of my fellow Americans going to celebrate incompetence and deliberate cruelty? Because history tells us that such power destroys great nations and ends in only one way.

I must say, I am quite confused on one point. How was he prevented from serving due to “bone spurs.” You know who else had bone spurs? Me. This is a guy who always gets what he wants, right? If you want something, you go for it. He was just “too good” to serve.

Did you know that you can cure diabetes by firing your doctors until one finally stops recording and reporting your blood glucose? But her emails….and stop talking about Epstein.

I grew up one mountain pass north of this place. I used to walk into the Calaveras Grove of giant Sequoias from my house. Spent nights under canvas and under the stars in every season. Snowed in twice in this valley. And this place is just one treasure. Let’s protect and preserve them, shall we?

A grading rubric for the middle school teachers among us;

I guess we can all sleep better at night now that Secretary Rubio has refused entry into the United States to the Venezuelan Little League team. This administration is correct less often than a broken clock.

Let that sink in for a sec.
