Cubans are starving and have gone weeks without electricity and clean water due to Trump's blockade of any oil reaching the island. Here's why we aren't covering this.

When I was in middle school Rita knocked out our cable and my mom didn’t set it back up bc it was an unnecessary expense and we didn’t need to watch that much tv anyway but then we like stockpiled series DVDs and calculated the price per minute of content to justify it

Almost wore my Rice cap with my Houston shirt like a WEIRDO who loves HOUSTON and keeping the SUN off their face but doesn’t have that many HATS

I emailed an old mentor to say hi and they sent back “think of me more often,” and something about that is just so beautiful and totally stuck in my head

I get so jealous when I see videos of people at the snack and candy conferences

I LOVE IT WHEN THE "READ MORE" LINKS LINK BACK TO EACH OTHER, IT'S SO EASY TO FIND THE INFORMATION I NEED. IT REMINDS ME OF LEARNING TO WRITE DEFINITIONS IN 4TH GRADE WHEN THE TEACHER MADE SURE TO CLARIFY THAT IT'S TOTALLY FINE TO USE A WORD'S ROOT IN ITS OWN DEFINITION, ENCOURAGED EVEN

I am tired of living in a world where everyone gets men in black mind wiped at the end of every conversation

I love my vet bc they all seem to genuinely love pets. they call them nicknames like “kiddo” or “Luna Baduna” and when we have to leave her she comes back smelling like someone else’s perfume like they were holding her and one time one of the techs said “come to Auntie” when they took her from us

Cheeseboard and every location of sliver has mushroom pizza today. Like I like mushrooms but sorry if you don’t

Do you ever remember you were in school for like 25 years straight

I’m so happy that I cracked the code on the recipe known only in my family as “Nana’s chicken and potatoes,” which she knows only as [her own] “Grandmother’s chicken,” in time for my little niece to be born so she can call it auntie’s chicken and I get the glory

we had our student conference yesterday and all week my SO has been driving me around to pick up posters or helping me fold bizarrely shaped tablecloths or whatever and I was like "I hope you feel like a true Teacher Partner, you are embodying an archetype I saw firsthand as a child"

I accidentally started a trend among my students of calling the acknowledgments on their poster "With gratitude to" and I feel so self-conscious when I see half of them do it. (Idk why i used to do that in grad school, and i use my own work as examples to connect w students and bc i'm vain)

I texted my dad “Good morning, I was just thinking about you, love you!” And he sent back “I am always thinking about you.”

When I heard about the Canvas hack I was like “oh noooo guess I can’t do my final grading!” as a joke but now I’m like dang I can’t do my final grading

I sized up all my pants because I didn't want to be concerned with being a certain size over buying clothes that actually fit. Unfortunately now I have bought a number of clothes that don't actually fit

guy who had his brain fried to mush: this chatbot is definitely as smart as me

I love literacy and numeracy

A couple years ago we ran into boots riley and he complimented my dog’s outfit and now every time we dress her up like that we call it “Boots’s Favorite” like a restaurant that a celebrity ate at one time

Just got to buy a coffee for a student I taught in like 2021 and I want to cry how lucky I am to be a link in this chain

The overly invasive and creepy thing I want is a navigation app that calculates how early I got to the cafe and suggests an appropriate stroll to kill n +- 2 minutes

Do you ever remember what you did by having the same idea anew

The thing about writing your senior thesis about metaphor is that 10 years later, you’re in a whole other subfield, you hear a phrase and you’re like “damn if that wouldn’t have been a great example”

I do not want AI-powered email, I want to be able to sign into my email in under 30 minutes and without rage quitting

I do not trust men who talk to me differently when female authority figures are present

Sometimes it can be so exhausting to care if things are good

I hate so much how you can't just casually decide to skip class when you're the teacher

Camouflage is just so unnecessarily hard to spell. Gimme 5 minutes and I could come up with something better

Sometimes being stupid-but-not-stupid is its own kind of bit. I bet you'd settle in.

For some reason if I go out with my mom and am ordering for her I always have to call her my mom. “My mom and I will share the catfish.” “I want a latte and my mom wants cafe au lait”

I told @languagedoodad.bsky.social that I was frustrated bc I saw a situation coming and did somuch to avoid it and I still ended up here and he was like that's literally the wisdom of the Ancient Greeks and honestly that really did something for me

Something happened to make my dog afraid of her stairs and now she simply refuses to come down from the bed (also note that it is short enough that she can and has jumped both up and down)

I made one of my grandma’s recipes by myself for the first time and I followed all the steps of every time I’ve made it with her but I was still shocked when it actually came together and tasted right

I love weird girls
