A Jill in Illinois

Who invented the sump pump? That person deserves more honor and glory than we’ve been giving.

Sort of anecdotal, but my time in the auto insurance industry has convinced me that a LOT of the dudes with the jacked up $80K Ford F150s are paycheck to paycheck, have staggering commutes, and get absolutely killed by quickly rising gas prices

Fucking pathetic.

My wife has a lot of family in Poland, and one of her cousins was asking how the US can possibly afford this. The answer is, our public infrastructure and services suck colossally

On Friday, the principal reads shout-outs submitted by staff & students on the PA. Most weeks there's maybe 10 for different people. But.

I got a dozen. Each read by the principal praising my skills as a teacher.

I don't think it was planned, but it came across as a beautiful, respectful revolt.

This fundraiser is mighty close to the goal. Let's get these fine folk the fuck outta Florida.

Workshop on Investigating Prison Book Bans In this interactive workshop, you’ll learn how to request records, clean up data and shed light on carceral book bans.

For incarcerated people, #books are power are hope. #Bookbans are acts of oppression. Challenging them requires understanding them.

3/18. 1p EST. 👇🏽

@themarshallproject.org hosts a virtual event teaching you how to investigate book bans.

Can y'all please stop with the "Let's be clear" line? It's cheesy and makes you look weak.

Must be against procedure. Wish I could find the owner's manual...

I just let the cat puke on my favorite hoodie because at least it wasn't the rug.

She’s apparently 54, same age as me. Eep!

Oh and, of course, we have totally new admin in Edison this year. So I guess they came in looking to clean house.

There are two jobs at Franklin and a combo social studies/science job at St. Joe. And maybe more will open up as teachers think about moving around.

I guess it's cheaper to have a long-term sub than me plus a mentor.

Dunno. On the 20 point rubric used over 2 42-minute observations, I had 0 unsatisfactory, 4 needs improvement, 14 proficients, and 2 excellents. I was expecting some mentoring, but instead I was told there would be no contract for me at Edison.

They just told me I wasn't an engaging teacher.

Don’t let the door hit you on the way out, Kristi Noem.

Part of the volleyball team grabbed takeout before their game tonight and then of course came to eat in my room.

I'm just trying to listen to music with swear words, kids.

Thanks. I am heart-broken I don't get to come back and see my kids after this year.

A kid from the other team popped into my class to ask me a question. It is the last period of the day. This kid smelled like soap and baby shampoo and I really want to ask him his secret.

the fifa peace prize used to mean something

This has to be the hardest piece of figure skating-related art in the history of figure skating

And cars.

Thanks. I am fucking gutted.

Well it was fun while it lasted, but I am not invited to return to teaching next year. So good luck getting an experienced middle school science teacher, bitches.

The 7th graders don't always clap at the end of a lecture, but when I tell them they are brilliant and I finish early on a sunny Friday afternoon? #Applause

Peak.

I mean, do we *have* to do the rest of the workday? We all know we'll just end up tired and cranky, so let's cut to the chase and go home now.

I too remain disappointed by the lack of Cleveland Spiders.

Okay. I have decided.
