You don't have to do things perfectly or happily today. You can also do them out of spite!

KChurch is the one off on the work thing for the first part of this week, so I'm reheating beans like a real bachelor.

A joyous Earth, Wind & Fire Day to all who celebrate.

Project Jupiter is poised to take out way, WAY more than it will bring in to Sunland Park and the whole "border metro" of Las Cruces, El Paso, and Ciudad Juarez. Keep your filthy Data Bro hands off the water of this land.

When you replace human teaching and learning with technology, it's not just that kids are not going to see the value of school -- it's that tech devalues humans, teaching, learning, and school.

Today finally brought me an opportunity I've been awaiting for months: a Cybertruck driving by slowly, close enough to the curb to talk to at a normal conversational volume, with the windows down. As it passed I did a thumbs-down and calmly said "Dumbass car for losers." The guy was ENRAGED

Have renter's insurance. Take care of your fucking teeth and your sense of hearing. Like what you like and don't like, get ashamed of it. Buy real art (esp. if it's inexpensive). Tip heavy. Reach out to your friends as often as you can and don't let them go.

Pay for the ad-free tiers of all your streaming services. It will be a major quality of life factor during the next pandemics.

Every couple of nights, Griff decides he gets RK's pillow for a bed. Trying to get this vantablack canine to move is always a thing.

This is the example I use with middle schoolers! They haven't heard of the hole in the ozone layer because we're FIXING IT.

Quote with the energy you bring to BlueSky.

Cook your orzo like risotto, send fleep.

Yes! The info is out there AND the alternatives are no longer thin on the ground AND Substack wants to disincentivize switching even more, so why *start off* at the Nazi bar?!

Middle schoolers can be the gosh darn best. Off to the dollar store for wooden pins!

Tomorrow is two weeks since what I now know was the first sign of shingles on my frickin face, and the pain is still zinging around breathtakingly in one line on my scalp.

I am bound by only one law.

Best pie: strawberry rhubarb. Best ice cream: vanilla (I knowww) Best donut: classic yeast glazed Best bar: the L&L (N. Clark) Best cake: lemon poppy Bundt Best other: flan

Hang on lemme go get my checkbook.

Subtweet: please, PLEASE, writer that I love, please get off Substack. Or tell us why you won't? Or explain when or how you will? I know everything is happening all the time and so much, and that's probably why, but it would mean the world to hear that it isn't complacency after all.

The New Mexico Department of Health has issued a standing order that expands access to updated COVID-19 vaccines by allowing healthcare providers and pharmacists to vaccinate anyone six months and older without requiring individual prescriptions. You can get a copy here:

@duntronic.bsky.social game day game day. This season has been murder!

If Democrats want to make a show of caring about Charlie Kirk, put up a Charlie Kirk gun control bill to prevent the senseless killing of any more Charlie Kirks so the entire country can watch Republicans vote it into the dirt

Look at that. And New Mexico is not a rich state. Just one that figured out some priorities.

The pain is indescribable - not necessarily because there is a lot of it (sometimes there is) but the nature of the pain is really remarkable. So like, if you can NOT have shingles, you should not have it. Do avoid. Not recommended.

We did it, New Mexico! Yesterday we made history as the first state in the nation to guarantee no-cost child care for every family. This is a game-changer for parents, kids, and communities across our state—and a blueprint for the nation. Read more here: sourcenm.com/2025/09/08/n...

Listen to me: Our profit from the post office is the post office. Our profit from a library is the library. Our profit from a school is the school. And our profit from our lives is life. Our life. Ours.

It's time to realize that efficiency is a property for humans to use, humans are not for it to use. It's time to realize that human society is not a corporation, and we are not its employees, and that its profits are ours. www.the-reframe.com/our-purpose-...

Listen, I will NOT be deterred from my Summer Goth-adjacent plan for today: lounging in semi-shade at the hotel pool reading AUTHORITY and listening to THE DOWNWARD SPIRAL.

The good news? ....... The bad news? Buddies, it's shingles.

Of COURSE the day I take off for a Thing Just For Me before three days of a professional development conference (and two weeks of probable work hell b/c state testing) is the day that something weird is happening to my face.

Yes.

Love that Trent is out here doing his best to make it 1991 again by science and magic. youtu.be/SnMyroAH0rg?...

Architect Louis Sullivan was born #onthisday in 1856. When he first arrived in Chicago in 1873, the city was still in ruins after the Great Fire w/miles of shanties. Yet he saw potential in its reinvention. “There was stir, an energy that made [me] tingle to be in the game…THIS IS THE PLACE FOR ME!”

I wouldn't mind so much these rich people wanting to live forever if they also spent their money ensuring the future will be a good place to live.

THAT'S WHAT I NEED, BAYBEE!

I say this every time there is a three-day weekend: Having a 4-day work week would make teaching more sustainable. By having one day per week to plan, grade, reflect, collaborate, or just catch up on administrative tasks, would make a huge difference in the quality of teaching. #TeacherSky

Galbi jjim simmering on the stove for dinner, 2 doz bagels made (half for a friend in repayment for a favor), and now work.

In the Soviet Union, even as ppl could see everything crumbling around them crumbling, the posters still proclaimed a vision of a glorious future. Now in America they harken to the glorious past, because a vision of the future cannot be allowed to exist in the imaginary. bsky.app/profile/soul...

What do u think the prompt was cuz this is literally soviet propaganda DNA
