This is my wife and our little dog Pippi:

We have a state law against terrorism in New York. Trump can't pardon him for this one.

Former student: Hey, [former name]! How have you been? Me: Good! I actually go by Reed now. Former student: Oh, did you change your name for gender reasons? Me: Yeah. Well I was always nonbinary, but I started to feel like my former name didn't suit me. Former student: I think Reed suits you better.

If I can’t unionize Claude then it’s not conscious, next question

Challenge for those who are so sure that the earth is round: Explain how the universe was formed.

Being asked to accommodate kids who don't go to class because administrators want to inflate grades to make school data look better than it is is ass. I told a kid I would not teach him at any other time than the class when he is scheduled to have me and now I'm "holding him back."

wow y'all.

I just had a flashback to the work colleague who assumed my then-fiance had a degree, prompting me to say, "He doesn't have a degree. He didn't finish college." Then the colleague questioned whether I should be with him or go through with my plans to marry him

me and my coteacher

We identified 12 shootings by federal agents that led to the deaths or injuries of citizens & immigrants since Sept. Nearly every time, the Trump admin blamed the injured and dead. Experts say this apparent lack of accountability demands that local authorities step up to investigate federal agents.

Also why do men always wanna give you a thought exercise instead of having a conversation

My students who did all their work but just left it at home:

If this is what he does to other men in front of all these people and cameras, imagine what he does to women and children behind closed doors.

A banker and a park ranger.

Students: *gossiping, whispering* Me: What are we whispering about? Student: Reed, you being messy again? You always being messy. Me: If you stay messy, you don't gotta get messy.

Again: Not hyperbole, misinterpretation, or a joke that Christian Dominionism is a strain of apocalyptic accelerationism which VERY LITERALLY SEEKS to hasten their vision of the Biblical end of the world, & the people who believe this have VERY CAREFULLY worked their way into the halls of U.S. power

Which state has the ugliest flag? I'll go first. Ohio.

trying out a new feature, lmk if it works

What's funny to me is the more trans I become, the closer I get to being an effeminate gay boy.

Get em Tish!!!

Kansas invalidated a trans woman's license even though she never changed her gender marker. It's not about the gender marker. It's about targeting trans people and making their lives unlivable.

Student arrived late to class, interrupted me in the middle of instruction to say, "Hi, [Former Name]" in front of my entire class. I say, "My name is Reed" and keep teaching. And now I have a parent meeting about how I singled out and embarrassed this woman's son by telling him what my name is.

"Are anonymous federal agents now allowed to kill unarmed women who protest the regime? That's okay now? No, it's not OK. It'll never be OK." -- Tucker Carlson's remarks on the shooting of Ashli Babbitt

Hello! I am a trans journalist looking to speak with trans kids and parents of trans kids across the US who have been impacted by the clinic closures---please get in touch or share!

"This war that has so far killed 100 little girls in their elementary school is a distraction from an investigation of a pedophile ring" listen to yourselves.

Even though I teach high school, I put my students through fluency exercises still so they don't end up reading out loud like this.

Nancy Mace forgot Ilhan Omar can fight

I’m voting for the candidate who promises to imprison everyone who makes money insider trading on war.

Today’s military strikes on Iran — carried out by the United States and Israel — mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression. Bombing cities. Killing civilians. Opening a new theater of war.

We are re-treading the Iraq war, yes, but we are in a world that now has social media and a very, very different Internet. The media spectrum is much more biased now too. Misinformation and propaganda will spread faster than truths. But the mass fact check machine will have much more power now too.

10am on a school day, we bombed a girls' elementary school. We killed dozens of little girls.

These Mamdani shovelers are doing amazing. I've never seen sidewalks this clear after a storm (outside Manhattan)

Hi, I'm Reed, and I am allergic to the sun. Did I remember that fact when I put on a tank top and shorts to go running on the first warm day of 2026? No. Cue full body rash in 3... 2...

Trump doesn’t support democracy in Iran. Trump doesn’t even support democracy in the United States!

The first deaths announced from the US-Israeli strikes on Iran: dozens of school girls. They hit an elementary school in Hormozgan.

November 2024

I have to have a meeting with the principal and a parent whose son has attended my class one (1) time in 10 weeks because I told him on that one (1) occasion that I would not send work home with him and that he cannot get credit unless he regularly participates and does his assignments in class.

Brb, indoctrinating the kids

I usually like YA dystopia, but if the main character's problem is she's too skinny and two boys like her, I'm out. Like, you live in an apocalypse. Please focus on what's important.

I find this policy as backwards as having a legal race designation on the birth certificate, which was done in the U.S. and in apartheid South Africa

Why do we all have to change our clocks? If it's that important for some industries to take advantage of the daylight, why don't they tell their employees to come in an hour earlier?
