Happy to try and help the Mike Rogers campaign with some ideas for winning voters over since they seek to be confused with what a Platform is supposed to be - But in the meantime looking forward to enthusiastically voting for El Sayeed!

Thanks. You did it. The libs have officially been owned.

Wanted desperately to fill the bubble for @mallorymcmorrow.bsky.social but made the next best choice instead. Onward to November! (And I love my clerk for letting me take a full set of the I Voted stickers since I had a hard time choosing. So glad MI does this comp for future voters!)

There’s also a velociraptor and the talking head of a sex doll possessed by a psychotic goddess of unrequited love who wants to kill your mother and that’s not even the most remotely bat shit stuff once you hit book seven. But the story is also kind of deep and also you’ll sometimes tear up.

Two years ago I won a competitive dance competition for charity. This October I’m doing it all over again as an “All Star.” LFG!!!

My favorite part of Athena - sometimes your task and to-do list can be overwhelming - and that’s why I programmed “calm mode” in. A great invitation to getting started - it brings up one thing with two alternate options and highlights your wins.

I’m excited to announce I’m in the final stages of building the app I always wanted. She’ll be live on the AppStore for Mac, iPad, iPhone and watch by midsummer. Task and project management with a mental health/take back your life twist! Athena Life Manager is coming very soon!

#BestLife Baking - a friend I was talking to about the rough first half of 2026 sent me a gift card to King Arthur which I used on some books. Practicing for my retirement gig. Today - salt, sesame seed, cinnamon sugar and everything sourdough bagels (one bit it coming out of the sugar water bath)

I adulted hard the last two weeks with the flood and the pipe explosion. As I finished the basement flood damage today I’m celebrating with my inner Leslie Knopf. There’s only one thing to do. Eat waffles.

Haven’t hit peak “fuck you 2026” until this morning.

My basement is flooded. I’m still cleaning up storm damage. Today I accidentally sprung a pipe in the upstairs bathroom and ruined the ceiling in the living room. Still found my happy place today. #LionKing #BroadwayGrandRapids

Won’t be going to work this way any time soon.

David A. Johnson, Ed.S. @notdavejohnson.bsky.social · 13/04/2026

Mommy and baby are doing their thing and our basement is nearly water free - but with massive storms on the horizon it’s a temporary reprieve until that soil thaws! Cleaned as much of the now garbage as I could now so there’s less to do at the end of the week when the rains finally let up.

Our little sump pump family grew. I’m now pumping out 3,000 gallons an hour between two devices. Mom and baby are doing fine. Casseroles welcomed. #Blessed

My board with Rachel Scott. In a time when schools don’t teach social studies because they “have to focus on literacy” (ignoring all the research that shows it’s the key) these fine humans fight the good fight every day for the kids in Michigan, and for the country as a whole. Heart. My. Team.

I don’t know what I’m gonna do for the next five months until we open up registration for next year’s conference lol. What will I do with all the time I spent in wild apricots Admin app checking registration numbers?

David A. Johnson, Ed.S. @notdavejohnson.bsky.social · 11/04/2026

I made another new friend today. Rachel Scott is an incredible human, and one of the bravest journalists I’ve seen. What a great end to this conference! Time for a nap

Tomorrow I welcome 300 social studies teachers to Traverse City for our annual conference. Carl Azuz and Rachel Scott headline with over 60 themed sessions on evidence, sources and media literacy. I never get tired of putting this event on.

2 years ago on April 21st I completed a year long journey to prepare my body to give 2/3rds of my liver to my cousin. This was us before the surgery. While I’ll still be politiposting, April is #DonateLife month and I’m going to share our story here.

David A. Johnson, Ed.S. @notdavejohnson.bsky.social · 08/04/2026

When I first suggested we add Traverse City to our conference rotation every three years my board laughed at me. “No one will go up North.” 11 conferences later two of our top three attended events were… in TC. And we’re picking up like 10 more every day the last few days.

Boone the Therapy Doodle this morning before we left for a school. The pride in this dogs eyes for his job…

I just ate my body weight in sushi with Twin the Eldest on our date to see Project Hail Mary on IMAX. I made her as a reluctant reader, read it in seventh grade and it reawakened her love of … occasionally reading. We’ve both been looking forward to this for two years. #ProjectHailMary

Last time we were in TC we had the incredible @mallorymcmorrow.bsky.social speak. There was only one pair of choices that could hold a candle to that keynote and experience. See you in just 3 short weeks for the conference that has you covered from A to Z with the ABCs. (See what I did there?)

We made it through the night and have power but not internet. And now the lake effect snow machine begins. I’m putting the odds of school still being out on Tuesday at about 75%
