Trying to move more of my dollars away from Amazon so yesterday I actually went shopping. Joanns - People sad over the closing, giving project advice, helping each other find stuff. Ulta was just women giving advice and compliments in every aisle. I needed the reminder that not everyone is trash.

Just a reminder that habeas corpus isn’t just some obscure legal term in Latin, it’s literally the only thing standing between you and being thrown in a dark hole for the rest of your life.

This semester I switched from reading intervention, to math intervention. My hill to die on? These kids are getting 3-minute math fact drills, every damn day. On paper. Every operation. Fifty problems at a time. What I never anticipated? THEY LOVE IT.

Watching “The Electric State” and I am flabbergasted at how over-talented and under-utilized this cast is. You have Giancarlo Goddamn Esposito and Stanley Fucking Tucci sharing a screen together, and you made your “stars” Chris Pratt and Millie Bobbie Brown???? WTAF?

As the mom of a boy whose shirt drawer looks like this, I am BEGGING schools to stop with “Spirit Days” that are all, “Wear Purple!” “Dress in crazy patterns!” “Dress like a teacher!” For the love of god, when can we get a “Wear Neutrals Day”?!?

If you’re participating in the economic blackout tomorrow, please make an exception for small, locally owned businesses. Every dollar you can shift from Amazon and Target to a mom-and-pop is a dollar that isn’t going into Trump’s pocket, but is strengthening your community instead.

Students begged me to let them watch a movie while they did their work. “We can multitask!” Baby, you can’t even unitask.

Robert Kennedy said if he had a time machine he would go back and stop his kids from getting their vaccine shots. Really, Robert? Those are the shots you would stop in the past when it comes to your family?

Having to do my mandated Sexual Harassment training today was… interesting. “Federal law prohibits…” Not anymore it doesn’t! “The EEOC protects…” Does it though? “Title IX guarantees…” I’m just gonna stop you right there.

I tried the whole “stab it strangle it rip out its guts” method of teaching my middle schoolers to crochet. Pretty sure they’re gonna turn me in to Dateline later.

Literally the only thing I missed about living with my ex was that he got the knots out of my back, you know the ones under the shoulder blade. Today I figured out how to prop one of these bad boys into the couch cushion so I could go to town on those knots, and WHEW! Single life is 100% fulfilled

9yo is learning about facts vs. opinions in ELA. But today he told me he thinks there are actually 4 categories: facts (strawberries are fruit), opinions (strawberries are delicious), wrong opinions (strawberries are better than chocolate), and “AI facts” (‘strawberry’ has 2 Rs) 🤣

I teach middle schoolers to crochet as an after school club. Last week three of them told me they asked for and received yarn and hooks for Christmas. It’s a small victory, but anything that isn’t another electronic or video game is still a victory in my book.

Farewell to a good President and a truly great human being, Jimmy Carter. I’m glad he doesn’t have to see what’s about to happen to the country he served honorably.

I had ordered a bunch of hostess gifts from #Penzeys because fuck yeah liberal spices. And a few jars for myself. When my order came I couldn’t find one of the spices I ordered, but there was one I hadn’t asked for. Whatever, I figured. Mixup in packing. It’s the holidays. 🧵

There is a wonderful exhibit at the Bronx Zoo about the devastating effects of deforestation and pollution. And what do we spot on the floor of the exhibit? 🤬 Some days I’m really rooting for the super volcano under Yellowstone.

When I first had my own place and my own tree, I wanted it to be one of those basic magazine color-coordinated ones. Now with my son, I am embracing the messy, handmade, mismatched ornaments. Even (shudder) the colored lights. When he says “it looks awesome, Mom,” it really does. Merry Yuletide!

I was today years old when I realized… in the Muppets’ “Christmas is Coming,” Miss Piggy sings “the goose is getting fat” and Gonzo goes “Nice.” Y’all. GONZO IS ATTRACTED TO BIRDS. (See Camilla the Chicken.) He isn’t saying the *song* is nice. Gonzo is turned on thinking about that thicc poultry.

I feel like people who wax nostalgic about growing up in the 80s miss the point. The best part of being ignored by our parents wasn’t being a latchkey kid or staying out until the streetlights came on. The best part was that my mom did not give a single rat’s ass about what book I was reading.

I know it’s a broken record at this point, but I am also here to bask in what feels like a cozy sweater and a cup of tea in front of the fire with a good book. You know, as opposed to rage screaming into the void while an exposed underwire stabs you and everything’s on fire.
