I’m feeling this nagging guilt, despite the fact that tomorrow I’ll spend a bunch of time grading those late papers anyway. I’m sharing this so that some of you will help me calm down and just accept that maybe next week they don’t get a grade assignment, just lessons and notes. Oh yeah, and … 3/3

Friday was one of those. And I’m sitting here on Sunday night, enjoying a cocktail made by my beloved husband, but also dealing with the nagging concern that I don’t have a graded assignment planned for next week. My admin really wants us to have two preferably, at least one a week. So…2/3

Y’all, I’m a high school teacher. Tomorrow is a precious blessed day off! Thing Is that part of today was already spent getting lesson plans finished for Tuesday. I have a bunch of late grading that I accepted because that’s what I do : I give them a monthly deadline and 1/3

Yep! Even though my parents had gotten a discount on that computer because there was a student in the house! I wasn’t allowed to touch it for a few years until my senior year of high school. A Kaypro 2.

Thank you. Fwiw: Yersinia Pestis as a scientific name should be written Yersinia pestis (italicized), at least the first time it’s mentioned. Thereafter, Y. pestis (still italicized).

And if that were all there was to thus, he’d have acknowledged her work at the time. He denied it. Also, Wilkins was not Franklin supervisor, nor did he have the right to show her work without her knowledge.

I don’t think it’s a good look to frame “not wanting anyone to get raped” as a “hyper feminist fever dream.”

Drunk is not considered to be of sound mind to make decisions for anyone. For example, driving while intoxicated.

Exactly. A risk is that the interviewer will view it as an indication that the candidate cannot set aside thrir personal life for even the brief duration of an interview. On the other hand, that itself can be a sign to the candidate that this position has demands that they need to consider.

This German joke from 1939 is disconcertingly easy to transplant to today. 
A Berliner returns home through the darkened streets.

Suddenly a voice behind him: "Halt or I shoot!" Then: "Hand over your briefcase!" 

Whereupon the greatly relieved Berliner says to the robber: "My God, you gave me a shock. I thought you were the police."

Sorry, after drinking a little coffee, I saw that the previous version of my post was just too embarrassingly riddled with typos. This version should have different mistakes.

As someone in a program with 35-40 freshman in many classes in our Title I school, the notion that any of their most effective changes can be implemented without smaller class sizes is insane. Their stated downside: needing to hire more teachers leads to a concern about teacher quality is laughable.

And destroyed all the plantations so they weren’t later restored into tourist sites and party venues that allowed people to cosplay antebellum life romantically.

It really is awful how many flags they have ruined. My husband used to like flying historical flags, but they were coopted and now mean something else. Of course, the plain rainbow pride flag we fly now is old enough to be historical at this point! Ha!
