This is really interesting, I know the school board mentioned state requirements that require administrative staffing, but this feels like A LOT but I know very little about school administration.

THATβ€˜S MY MAYOR!!! πŸ‘€ watching this city council/school board Work session. Why is the cut list primarily student facing and not administrative??

I’m fighting my impulses and logging off, not going to doomscroll another crisis. Going to make some crepes for breakfast and work on some craft projects.

Interested but concerned, I stick to dedicated trails, around the neighbourhood on weekends

And this is part of the reason I am truly obsessed with the Olympics.

All of us watching the men’s free skate results:

Genuinely brutal, for almost everyone. Falling all over the place almost everyone

🫣 this men’s free skate is just too much to watch

Truly it feels like so so many ads. I have this same β€œtier” and they feel endless I cannot imagine what the non-minimal ad level is like, either that or there was some asterisk I missed that said does not apply to the Olympics coverage.

I KNEW IT! Couldn’t hear it on the NBC stream but the way his face looked I just knew. 😊 I hope he knows no peace.

Really feels like they should’ve been able to clear this long before now, my big corporate landlord building had people out working all day clearing during the storm Sunday. If the city were still fining folks, would this be the same dollar amount as a homeowner??? wild if so.

I’ve been eyeing these for years after loving a pair of sandals from duckfeet, how is the traction on the boots?? I’ve got like serious snow boots but those don’t get much use (usually)

If I get under my electric throw, I’m not moving for hours. It’s too cozy!

Madison is navigable for the most part, you may need to hop from one side of street to the other but we went from our apartment above lost dog down to St. Elmos yesterday and it was not too bad, worst is at crosswalks!

Wise words from WEB DuBois to gird us today: "It would be shame and cowardice to surrender this glorious land and its opportunities for civilization and humanity to the thugs and lynchers, the mobs and profiteers, the monopolists & gamblers who today choke its soul and steal its resources."

Would this dramatically improve all of our collective mental health? I don't know but I think we should find out!!! The remove cameras and live commentary in particular πŸ‘€
