Lol holy shit it's all so bad

I had a big realization today after part 2 of a combative IEP with an outside provider. As much as I want to partner with families and make everyone happy, I am first and foremost an advocate for my student and their needs. I will defend their educational rights.

My good news for today was that a former student who has been absent since 10/24 came back! I wore the necklace he gave me every day until he returned 😊 I'm so relieved.

One of our teachers accidentally texted a message complaining about our principal's lack of support to a group chat with our principal in it. He's being called in for a meeting tomorrow. New nightmare unlocked.

2 IEPs done! I said that when I was a parent and I was unsure about an IEP, I would say that I wanted to take some time to review before signing. I like to educate my families, so they're prepared for the future. She said, "Oh no I am so happy. I am signing right now." 😂

It's the pied piper of squirrels!! 😂

Yesterday, my supervisor told me she wants me to work on saying no to people. Our district's director of SPED texted me today to ask if I would be willing to be interviewed by two different credential candidates in her MA class. What would you do? It's supposed to be about the day to day in SPED.

Everyone, at least once tomorrow, use the word “inshallah” within earshot of a Republican. That’s your homework.

GOOD LORD

Something beautiful happened today here in Indigenous Oregon. A woman who buys storage units found a bunch of regalia in one and instead of trying to make a buck off of it she did the right thing and posted on tiktok to find the owner, who is a local Warm Springs auntie. Now her stuff is coming home

There is some good in this world. And its worth fighting for. 💙

It feels so good to lie down holy moly

One thing I don't see ppl talk about: Food pantries are often inaccessible to Autistic ppl & other Disabled ppl Bus lines sometimes aren't near them Disability can dictate what food you can eat Often in food pantries you don't have much choice, unlike SNAP

No, I was not ‘bored’. Researching the efficacy of measuring tapes in tabby hypnosis is hard science 😤x

it's been about a month since I took gumpy in - still no sign of any owner :c I don't understand how this wonderful little goober could've ended up abandoned

Entryway is done!!!

Before & after I traded out the sewing table for one my end tables from my Modesto house, and bought a different lamp. I drove 2 hours round trip to pick up the moon pillow.

Partner: I don't have my coffee to-go cup. Me: Use mine! Partner: You mean this one?

Interesting thread. And I always say: find your favorite exercise and just do it. It can be anything that makes you move. It does not have to be the latest trend or whatever the majority is doing, and you dictate the rhythm and frequency according to your health status.

Loki is feeling so much better, he's back to peeing on the wool rug, as is his wont. He's banished from the living room until I figure it out.

Now, to put up the mirror and art! Bigfoot Hades Sir Toots a Lot, The Dark Lord, First of His Name approves!

Scientists took blood from mice that exercised and injected it into sedentary mice. The sedentary mice grew new neurons in the hippocampus, the part of the brain linked with memory and learning! www.psypost.org/in-neuroscie...

WOW first time I've captured a tern with a double catch! Not perfectly in focus, but pretty damn good! 🪶

Let's do this!!! 🖌

if it's wrong to stay in bed all day, then why are they soft and comfortable? I rest my case, your honor. <bangs gavel> yes I brought a gavel to this trial.

I don't give a shit if people on SNAP are buying cookies. I think they deserve MORE money than they're getting.

Truthful facts 💯🎯

@charlesreedpi.bsky.social Most canvas prints turned out well! The AI upscaler app did a decent job on the pic of my daughter. The texture of the canvas, though, I don't love for the landscape picture. I think for the other landscapes, I'm going to go to a poster print like you were planning.

Obama is better than caffeine…any day. I had almost forgotten what it sounds like when a fine orator is at the podium.

"Even if a memory disappears completely, the heart retains something. A slight tremor or pain, some bit of joy, a tear." Yōko Ogawa - The Memory Police

Obama: As for the president, he has been focused on critical issues like paving over the rose garden so folks don't get mud on their shoes and gold plating the Oval Office and building a ballroom… If you can't visit a doctor, don't worry. He will save you a dance.

Partner: Do you remember the giant to-do list you had us review this morning? Me: Uh huh. Partner: You just spent ten minutes researching the effects of decompression on blobfish. Me: Hmmmm.

The average US taxpayer spends $36 a year on SNAP You know what they spend on corporate subsidies? $670 Poor and disabled people who need food are not the problem If you’re angry about “your money” feeding people but not angry it’s giving tax cuts to the wealthy? You’re doing their dirty work.

So it turns out that handing control of the government to people who fundamentally don’t believe in government as a concept makes for poor governance

I texted our old 1st grade group chat with a throwback Halloween pic from 2022. 1 teacher left education. 1 was moved to 3rd grade ELA and is considering retiring. I moved to SPED. Only the wolf is still 1st grade.

Candy corn is a gateway drug. Next thing you know, you're eating ear wax and licking banisters in a NY subway.

I am tired of pre-cut fruits and vegetables being tagged as a waste of money. I've been reading articles on saving money while shopping and everyone calls out pre-cut food. Not a single one I've read has acknowledged the use of pre-cut food for people with disabilities or chronic conditions. 1/?

I told our school psych that some neighbors walked by and looked at me funny when I raised the leftovers container aloft after digging them out of our trash can in our nice neighborhood like I'd rescued a toddler from a well. She said, "Tell me you've experienced poverty without telling me." 😂

talking to my son about Silicon Valley misogyny: pre Y2K as a 19yo intern I learned multiple computer languages in 2mo to create the first of its kind monitoring system for a refinery that could be updated w/a single click & all the other engineers said OMG LOOK A SECRETARY WHO TAKES MATH NOTES
