You know what you could do today instead of doomscrolling all day is go pick up a copy of Persepolis. It is stunningly good.

Well, what are we waiting for? Vote out every pedophile, fascist, and their enablers this November.

A beautiful redheaded woman wearing a tiara blows out the candles on a bright yellow birthday cake, which reads, “Happy 40th! You’re our favorite!”

I fell in love with you the year you turned 30. I love you even more at 40. Happy birthday, @stephanie-says.bsky.social! You’re still my favorite.

Computer screen stating, “You are now in the queue - 41,582 people ahead of you.”

Call me a pessimist, but I don’t think we’re getting tickets for Springsteen today.

But Roski wasn’t the only NBA stakeholder warehouse linked to eventual migrant detention centers. eyeblack identified four NBA teams — the Atlanta Hawks, Sacramento Kings, Charlotte Hornets, and Minnesota Timberwolves — with minority ownership directly linked to profiting from the federal government’s ICE-run mega jail shopping spree.

Minority owners of FOUR NBA teams are profiting directly from business deals with the DHS concentration camp industrial complex.

Those teams are Atlanta, Sacramento, Charlotte, and Minnesota.

A chocolate birthday cake with raspberry filling and white frosting decorated with red, white, and blue balloons. The cake is adorned with lit candles and says, “Oh my goodness, Dad is 50!”

My slow transformation into becoming more and more like my dad is almost complete; I take an apple to work in my lunch every day, I’m half-deaf, and I follow behind family members shutting off lights while grumbling under my breath. Apparently, this is 50.

2025: The year that ended with black forest pancakes.

2025: The year Parker commandeered movie night (and cemented his recently acquired Star Wars obsession by watching Episodes IV, I, and II).

2025: The year I dusted off my Loog guitar and attempted to learn songs by The White Stripes, Black Sabbath, Taylor Swift, @pearljam.com, Oasis, The English Beat, Nirvana, The La’s, @dawestheband.bsky.social, Wilco, Jimmy Eat World, and Smashing Pumpkins.

The year @stephanie-says.bsky.social and I bought each other the same Christmas gift from the same store.

2025: The year my kid learned “seis siete” instead of “six seven” because he’s enrolled at a dual-immersion school.

2025: The year we mailed these out later than we planned.

So, this is Christmas.

Teachers should receive hazard pay for working on Halloween.

Happy birthday to the kid who thinks he’s almost as tall as his mama, wants to know everything about the solar system, and who started, disbanded, and reunited a band with his dad in less than three months.

This morning, I overheard one of my students ask his classmate, “Do you listen to Joe Rogan?”

They’re both 10. This is why I know we’re doomed.

"SLOPPER" I'm losing my mind

June, May, and April.

That’s a wrap. My classroom is packed up, keys and computer are turned in, and a letter of resignation has been submitted. Goodbyes have been said and some tears were shed. What was only supposed to be a year quickly turned into ten. Now, it’s on to my next chapter at a new school and district.

When language learning apps get greedy, use the public library (Mango)

When streaming services get greedy, use the public library (Kanopy for movies & Freegal for music)

When book retailers get greedy, use the public library (Libby)

Public libraries are the best

I think it’s safe to say after meeting JD Vance the Pope lost his will to live.

March, February, and January.

Introducing Modelo’s newest spokesperson.

Once again, I’m a sucker.

The classroom we’re meeting in for today’s professional development is playing instrumental versions of Disney songs. This has to be a Guantanamo Bay torture technique, right?

Again, please, Generative AI (chatbots, image generators...) demands crazy amount of energy and water and increases carbon footprint.
When you use it, you are not just stealing copyrighted material and looking super clumsy, you are also accelerating global warming.

SchoolHouse Rock - No More Kings YouTube video by tennesseejed93

If I had a band or a label, I would do a punk cover of "No More Kings" from Schoolhouse Rock. And then I would gather a bunch of people to write a whole album of next-generation Schoolhouse Rock songs, with songs about Social Security and Medicaid and NOAA. I am not kidding in the least.
