If you can't adopt there are lots of other things you can do to help. Foster, volunteer, fundraise, do a supply drive, sign up for your local shelter's newsletter to find out other ways to help. Remember that volunteering doesn't necessarily mean physical labor - shelters need all kinds of skills!

Oct 3rd - It’s October 3rd. Happy #MeanGirlsDay 📽️📅 Mean Girls (2004)
2 Screenshots from the movie "Mean Girls" (2004): First, a classroom setting with a young woman with long red hair talking to a young man in a brown shirt and blue t-shirt, both sitting at desks with open books. Subtitles read, "On October third, he asked me what day it was." Second, the same students are seen from a slightly different angle; the young woman smiles slightly as she responds. Subtitles read, "It's October third."

I've gotten a lot of requests from faculty about how to talk to their students about the Cornell 7. I'll post a few resources I've built over the years that I've heard are the most helpful:

Looking for a book to teach next semester for my freshman level reading, writing, and inquiry class. I don’t need a writing textbook (already have one), but more along the lines of a common read we can discuss. Any suggestions?

And if you aren’t willing to do your job as a parent, then don’t have children. Our job is to teach (and our academic standards dictate what we teach). Your job is to be a parent.

Steph, M. A. @stephfunnylaughter.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
And I don’t care if you work work work. So do we! But if you choose to be a parent, that means you have to actually parent your child! Stop putting kids in front of screens and focus on hands on play. Give them coloring books and crayons. Take them to the library if possible.

Saw this on instagram and people in the comments can’t stop saying “we can’t be stay at home parents anymore”. Beloved, I was raised by a single mom and my grandma (whose education stopped at grade 8). They still parented me. If your child isn’t potty trained by second grade, you’re a bad parent.

The night was cold and dark. “Listen to the wind howling in the trees,” said Frog. “What a fine time for a ghost story.”
Frog and Toad craddle warm cups of tea in their hands, as they sit in cozy chairs in front of the fire.

One of my education classes sat in on high school History and English classes today, and it was a great experience. Getting to watch my own students dip their toes into teaching is one of my favorite parts of the job.

To raise exceptional sons you need to be exceptional parents. In my 20+ years of teaching the good parents don’t blame others for their son’s mistakes. Kid isn’t doing well in school? It’s their son’s mistake. They get in trouble? They hold their son accountable. But it’s on parents to change, too.

It’s Dolly Parton Day, and in her honor I will read books, be kind, and have great boobs. (I also filled a little free library with picture books recently, so spreading the love and access to literacy, too)
