Have I waxed poetic to you about "Bitin List" by Tyler Childers?
I really want the vest they put on aggressive dogs π€£
Reading your emails is a professional responsibility. It's part of the teaching gig. We can't complain about the meeting that should have been an email, if the email has to be a meeting because you just. Don't. Read. It.

Spring is coming π
Coffee pot is prepped. Spring ahead will not get me this year.
If a diet coke is a fridge cigarette, then a diet Dr. Pepper is a fridge cigar. I will not be elaborating further.
I don't know about y'all but I'm praying Psalm 109 over that man's life every day
Frog pushed Toad out of bed.
It would be great if the Chess Bwy cast album could be released today. Tomorrow. As soon as possible.
Made soup with some leftover rainbow carrots from our farm box. The broth is now bright red. Oop.
I will still be eating it.
honestly there's no worse reflection on the AP tests that somehow their scores go up even as students read & write less, both self-reported on their own time, and in their classes. How can people who read less and write less be getting MORE proficient at written reasoning and complex text analysis?
The DOE is small... but I guess not that small! Haha
Found myself at a college board "educator summit" and they've been hard core trotting out the numbers.
Hey, hi. Get out my head. Are we sitting in the same AP session today? π€£
My very American opinion is that pain au chocolat should have a candy bar's worth of chocolat. Tysm.
this is one of those phrases that Iβll probably quote forever
Ty subway stranger for helping me with my sneakers π€£π₯²
Somebody was saying how E.D. Hirsch was not a progressive, and i just need some of y'all to hear it again.
Pretty sure the author of this book I'm reading about the Bible just made a Fresh Prince reference when talking about the Ammonites?
And that's the kind of scholar that I like.
Hey Mr. Mayor, can you please have that intern make another newspaper in Canva but this time it says OUR IDIOT PRESIDENT DOES NOT START ANOTHER ENDLESS WAR?!?!? Kthxbai
Whatever the fragrance is of my aesthetician's office, I need it for my everything. It might actually cure me.
Lord, I don't know what your plan is but im gonna stay shut and do my little work while I wait for You to tell me
So anywho... I just took the recycling out. Looking like a whole lot of nothing out there?
I'm sorry, I won't be participating in the blizzard tysm
My rage at all the people outside right now- STORM'S ACOMING! GO. AWAY.
I hope New Yorkers will challenge Mamdani about this. Too often, people feel they need to be absolutely for or against a politician β ignoring their missteps or throwing them out with the bathwater. You can like and/or believe in someone and still challenge them to deliver on their promises.
anti-AI βcredoβ I have a religious exemption from using all generative βA.I.β I am not a member of the Silicon Valley sect. Their beliefs and practices are an affront to my sensibilities. The tech is trained on stolen intellectual property. The output is riddled with mistakes, and it is incapable of comprehending the weight of its errors. It is not even an βit.β But sometimes, it is filtered and massaged by unaccountable human sweatshop workers and bad actors. I am not required to use βA.I.β any more than I am required to join Amway, buy black market rhino horn, or attend the Fyre Festival. As a human, I have a duty and right to limit my carbon and water footprint and protect my fellow human. As a union worker, I have a duty and right to oppose tech that is used to threaten workers or cheapen our product. As a tech consumer, I have a duty and right to oppose scams that lower the quality of our tools. As a scholar, I have a duty and right to oppose anti-intellectualism. As a taxpayer, I have a duty and right to oppose the misallocation of public funds and data. As a grown up, I have a duty and right to protect young people from predators. As a person with a conscience, I am appalled at the decadent disregard for user safety, the callous dismissal of responsibility for lives ruined and slaughtered. My religion is related to my identity, geography, and family, making it an irrelevant accident of birth. What matters is that I was born. I have an exemption from their digital rapture, their cultural austerity, their intellectual poverty. I practice wholesome hedonism and First Do No Harm. CS 12/9/2025

Am I making a Benito themed Read Across the Americas board instead of grading? Yes. This is fine. Let me live.
