Yeah, it’s for sure cool. I want to go back because I saw some of the outdoor things, but because we ran out of time we didn’t get to everything out there.

I went to the Glenstone Museum the other day. It’s hands down one of the most unique museum experiences I’ve ever had.

If you’re ever over that way, I highly recommend it.

I’ll have to revisit since it’s been like 20 years. Back then I didn’t care for it.

UMBC exhibit puts focus on Black leisure during the Jim Crow era An exhibit at UMBC, “Picturing Mobility,” runs through Dec. 19 and features two inventions that made leisure travel possible during segregation — the automobile and the camera.

Your education cannot be social media. If you're not reading, you're not learning. Podcasts can be educational when they have scholars, authors, etc who actually have expertise on a topic. Reading is essential. When Kendrick said "turn the TV off" it was more than a metaphor.

Wild they have to write a bill for this

Y’all, I’m gagged at the fact that “Jingle Bells” has origins in the blackface minstrel performance scene of the 1850s. I had not a clue until today.

it’s Sunday on bluesky so I am urging everyone to take care of themselves. Take a walk, have a second cup of coffee or tea, read a book, spend some time looking at small poems

One thing I've learned from the Internet is that a lie needs 0% proof to be believed, but the truth requires thousands of pages of proof and still won't be believed.

It’s so unfortunate that Congress cut billions from public broadcasting.

PBS and other member programs are invaluable and informative for both kids and adults.

My mom watched them as a kid. I watched them as a kid. My kids currently watch them.

Education is dangerous. That’s why they keep defunding it. They know that critical thinking grows like wildfire. Teach enough people to ask “why?” and empires will tremble.

A whole $3 saved a month starting NEXT summer. How generous of BGE.

Yes, the temps have gotten excessive. Yes, electricity supply costs went up. BGE keeps blaming the increased home bill costs solely on those things.

BGE conveniently doesn’t mention electricity and water guzzling data centers.

Spending $25k on DoorDash is wild.

I’ve ordered DoorDash/GrubHub a handful of times with coupon codes. For me, the added fees making lukewarm food AT LEAST double its actual price makes it not worth it to me.

I understand some folks like or need the convenience, though.

“The world that we live in, the knowledge that we have access to, our societies, our cities, our families are shaped by those who came before us. What we do today is literally shaping the environment in which future generations will be allowed to develop to their full potential.”

Yes, and what’s up with little buddy in the back on the couch.

One question I’m really leaning heavy on right now for myself to hold myself accountable is: What can I do and get done from my seat, from my role, from my position, with my abilities and skills, or with my whatever else I have?

Yes, Chanea, I agree with you.

Honestly, I thought and taught similarly to Audry my first year or two. I was the problem, not the kids or their parents, because I had to learn how to competently teach and break things down so that I could do my job of helping kids really understand and learn.

More and more, you are going to find yourself tricked by misleading headlines like this one.

From the article itself: “Moore said he’s ready to engage in conversations about repairing the legacy of slavery now, and he doesn’t need to wait two years for the reparations commission to draft a study.”

Congratulations! Yes, you did it!

lol! Lil’ jugs. It’s so wild how it’s called different things.

Picture of a yellow box of Little Hug Fruit Barrels in different colors.

I know it’ll probably differ by region, but what do y’all call these?

A student called them a “huggie” and a co-worker called them a “hug jug.” I would just say “red juice” or “blue juice.”

Motherhood, in my experience, is nuanced.

One thing for sure is that I deeply enjoy being a mother.

The older I get, the more I understand the choices and actions my momma, my granny, auntie, and other women in my family made as mothers.

Anyway, Happy Mother’s Day to all mothers! Enjoy!

Basically don’t let these people make you think you have to be dry and boring to be successful
