ADHD Biology teacher. Nerdfighter. Trying to relearn how to make art after a twenty-year break. I read and listen to a lot of audio books. Sometimes I post about them. No DM’s without a really good reason. She/her
This is what Family Feud could have been
Quite a bit of ado
We’ve reached the, “my car clock is right again,” season. I love that.
Where is the Executive function on my ‘get all the things done’ day?
Well, I’m dramatic but not an idiot… truth be told you make a good point. I would pine but I’d try to refrain from getting anyone dead and I know enough about the world to understand how dead works
Maybe? But I can be pretty dramatic and I’m 53
I contested it and they said, “nope. Still bad comment.” I’m mostly just floored because of all the comments that obviously should be flagged and aren’t. But I’m Gen X and regularly clueless so I thought maybe I was accidentally horrible.
What happened? Did you drive around him?
I follow this guy on TikTok who makes songs for other tiktokers and he made a song about a service cat. I commented, “thank you for your service, cat”. And it was taken down as a violation of community guidelines. Umm? Is this offensive somehow?
They look concerned
They make people desperate and act surprised when they act like desperate people.
It’d just be nice if the tornadoes slowed down a bit
Will miss you but understand.
Happy birthday!

Very excited
I have a colleague who left Kansas last year because his son is trans. It was smart but my community is worse for it. Needless fear impoverishes us all.
Six Seven, Aura Farming, Locking In… and new in my classroom last week- Baby Boo
Dropout, once again, I know your ap isn’t social media but I need it to have a like button anyway. You could use it in marketing.
Just finished The Astral Library by Kate Quinn: a fun romp through old books with a side of appreciation for a fashionable man. It does have a lot more than passing reference to the foster care system and was a bit triggering of my own abandonment issues but well worth it.
They insist they didn’t cheat but the evidence says otherwise. I want to give the benefit of a doubt but… in the end that’s not doing them favors
I was in a funk this evening about evidence of a student’s academic dishonesty and in my head about how I dealt with it. Still not sure but after a visit to the gym I feel better. We’re all doing our best to deal, probably even the student. There’s so much pressure on some of these kids.
This is the Dutch oven bread I make every snow day, except I use a well seasoned and oiled Dutch oven instead of parchment paper. www.theseasonedmom.com/dutch-oven-b... of course a Dutch oven is kind of a big investment… it’s good bread though and easy to make
Just finished Operation Bounce House by Matt Dinniman. I need a friend to finish it so we can talk about Roger. It’s less whimsical than the Carl books. Sort of closer in vibes to Scalzi’s Old Man’s War, but definitely a Dinniman book with questions about the intersection of games and life.
I think I’m cool and then I do or say something so cringe I have to spend the rest of the day in a spiral. Honestly, there are no real adults
Evil. I don’t understand how anyone could do this to children and think they are doing anything but evil
March Mammal Madness Brackets drop tomorrow! Just what I need after Project For Awesome. There are still amazing and cool things to be excited about.
This was honestly just a terrible, vague passive aggressive comment about the people who ask for reposts. I don’t mind an occasional repost. I find new people that way. Accounts that constantly repost just get an unfollow.
Hard to say for sure but I think it’s a very small piñata duck head. It looks very awake and probably anxious
Me
I know reposts spark engagement but I don’t follow people to see their reposts. I follow people to read what they have to say or see their art. I curate my feed here and likes make me happy. Bluesky isn’t an engagement farm for me and I don’t expect it to be for others. I’m just a goofball goofing.
