My kids love car washes and that is the only reason why I've been through one and the pricing is $19.99 for as many washes as you want in the month or $15.99 for one wash. I don't understand any of it. The guy was like you're supposed to pay $19.99!! Sir, you seem to think I'm coming back & I'm not.

Will I be caught up on giving feedback on student work before I'm buried in final reflections next week❓

Because the vaccine prevents chronic hepatitis B for which there is no cure and the lifelong treatment costs more than a single birth dose of the vaccine. Insurance companies recognize this is a no brainer. Brought to you by prevention beats treatment any day. www.cnn.com/2025/12/07/h...

A favorite strategy of fascists. If you can't control the narrative just confuse the shit out of people so they can't tell which was is up. Bonus points for increasing social divisions too.

If you are not a connoisseur of preschool apps, you would be surprised at how many of them involve feeding animal characters over and over and over and over and over and over.

By the end of the term, my soap box is basically the combination of each student's unique history, experiences, interests, & learning is so vital against this wave of cynical do-more via magic tech because nothing really matters commercial genAI sales pitch. It matters. Hopefully students get it.

So the problem with single product advent calendars is by this point I don't want it (unless we're talking a tiny piece of chocolate 😹.) It was fun for the first few days, but then it piles up like student assignments to give feedback on.

The science hasn't changed. The Hepatitis B vaccine is safe and effective. Up to 90% of those infected at birth will develop chronic infection w/o vaccination. The newborn dose is an important part of creating lifetime protection from liver disease and cancers. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

oops it's her again

It is so nice to get teacher & librarian inquiries about a reading for World Read Aloud Day ✨ 📚

This is your occasional reminder that, if you like Neil Gaiman's stuff, but can't bring yourself to like it anymore for justifiable reasons, Tanith Lee is the author he is credibly accused of extensively cribbing from, and her work is on Audible, and AMAZING.

Dear people in the US who work with Autistic kids in schools and medical settings, I know we're all drowning in compliance directed ABA derivatives, but I should NOT gone to my kids IEP meeting and found out no one know what PDA means (other than Public Display of Affection.) 1/

The invisible behind the scene consequences of data and consolidation of power. We see and resist when ICE abducts neighbors, but this... is hard to notice or fully understand.

People expect miracles from medicine, but refuse the miracle that would let them avoid needing emergency care in the first place

I love how every year I have students do a basic web quest (shout out to Onet) about three different direct service helping professions. Many don't like this assignment, but realize they needed to learn these things like why the hell is the pay so low for masters level mental health professionals?

This turn can't come fast enough. This is such a deeply embarrassing time for educational leadership. Their priorities have no been student learning or wellbeing. The lack of due diligence is on them. Outsourcing decision-making to consultants, tech, & the MBA crowd was bad decision making.

This was her calling out genocide speech. She was not thanked for it.

She doesn't like genAI slop or fascism either

Another reason to not use Ama$on: when it gets big enough to kill our infrastructure. Again, the five guys own everything model is bad for everyone including the planet.
