I guess the new fourth period game is to name something (category 1: kind of math, cat 2: elements of the period table, cat 3: numbers), and I'll tell kids if it's good or evil

Harvard fired Claudine Gay but they won’t fire Larry Summers?????

NEW: When Andrew Tate landed in the US, Customs & Border Protection seized his electronic devices. But @propublica.org found that a White House official told DHS to return the devices, emphasizing that the request came from the White House. By @robert-faturechi.bsky.social & Avi Asher-Schapiro

Friends, I'm trying to purchase some Arduino kits for my engineering classes. If you're able to either purchase or share, I'd be so appreciative! #clearthelist www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

US citizen Maria Greeley, a Latina who was adopted, was walking home from work downtown when masked agents zip tied her. They said she “doesn’t look like a Greeley.” This is how the government treats people under current deportation policies. www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/15/l...

As a parent, unless your child is with a rouge teacher, chances are they’re reading even less than the bare minimum from your high school English class.

Another horrific story from these times, featuring the tireless and heroic work of my Cornell Law colleague Liz Brundige and her clinic students. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/14/u...

I gave a quiz today and felt like a Real Teacher today

Pepys was such an unbelievable jerk to his wife

These devil children made my tall chair TOO TALL while I was absent so now I can’t teach anymore

This is cool

Loving today's news that the mysterious "fedora man" outside the Louvre heist was actually a 15-year-old museum visitor who dresses like a 1940s French detective all the time, just because. apnews.com/article/louv...

I use this as an example in engineering class

This was a fun interview! And they let me point out that museums, full of colonial loot, are both victims and perpetrators in the black market for stolen art… www.bbc.com/audio/play/w...

am reminded of the old joke: what did James Watson discover? Rosalind Franklin’s notes.

Thinking only of Rosalind Franklin today, and what was stolen from her (and so many other female scientists alongside her).

This time they’ve gone Too Far THESE KIDS

Et tu, Shakespeare? ET TU

and then turn to the green, gentle, and most docile earth; consider them both, the sea and the land

Double, double toil and trouble; Fire burn and caldron bubble.

Today I discovered that a colleague is not just a poet but a really talented poet. A delightful discovery

Good

We work by the month, or by the job, or by the profit; not for us to ask the why and wherefore of our work

The White House has fired all six members of the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts, the independent federal agency that reviews design plans for monuments, memorials, coins and federal buildings. n.pr/4ntG3PR

Lol at this being the year I was going to work less

Do people not have aunties?? Because my only sibling does not have kids but I am Tía Ale/Auntie Checka to plenty of kids in my life

But shall this crazed old man be tamely suffered to drag a whole ship’s company down to doom with him?

I swear all my classes are having secret meetings with each other to calendar out a rotation to take turns on who will be the hardest class and easiest class on any given week

I spent hours and hours and hours putting together a lesson and then spent almost the whole class period trying to do crowd control and I feel pretty defeated

I have never been more nervous to teach a lesson in my life

I gasped. Breathtakingly evil

Well, when you put it all together that way, yeah that doesn’t sound good…

It shall be to him then as our good wills: A sure destruction.

Fall garden preparations: Ready, set, go before the winter months’ rest

Welp. Today the state of Texas announced that it’s taking over my school district. Removing the board of trustees and superintendent; lots of fear and uncertainty from staff and parents. We’re all looking at what happened in the Houston takeover and trying to gauge just how bad it’ll be.

Thy love did read by rote that could not spell.

I guess my new normal is having anxiety dreams about work every night

Sin las matemáticas de los babilónicos, los mayas lograron una gran precisión para predecir eclipses.“La tabla del Códice de Dresde era parte de una larga tradición en la que expertos estaban generación tras generación incorporando ajustes para mejorarla”

Here’s food for thought, had Ahab time to think; but Ahab never thinks; he only feels, feels, feels

This day is a mess but the boys in first period said I’m starting to have aura, so

This is *especially* true when the easiest way to save $700M over three years is to repeal our voucher program and stop using public money to subsidize private schooling. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Buddy. Satire is Orwell writing a fictional allegory where a pig pees on carefully policy and infrastructure plans right before doing a violent fascist takeover. The *actual* POTUS posting a pretend video of himself defecating on his constituents? Not same.

Wait, he lied?!?

Shoutout to whoever was like the news sucks, let’s spice it up by doing a jewel heist at the Louvre

Oh wow
