I’m not recommending you do anything illegal, but what if your foot accidentally opened the gate, and while sleep walking, you accidentally unchained the dog and brought it somewhere safe? Hypothetically speaking, of course.

I can’t even get a class set of markers without buying them myself. Schools would almost have to rebuild to make classrooms inaccessible. Schools weren’t designed to function as prisons. We need to tackle the gun problem or nothing will change.

I actually think it was just too public. He’s probably not even single, or he had bad intentions. He would have preferred “an off the path dive bar”. Sounds like a great way to get roofied by a stranger.

Please share one example of a k-12 school that teaches CRT. I’ll wait. By the way, teachers teach. Parents indoctrinate. Children aren’t born racist or hateful, but here you are.

When teachers say we are completely burned out, this is one of the reasons. Sometimes, no one listens to us. I’m only alive today (probably) because a student called the police from a bus when she saw a gun in a backpack of one of my 1st hour students. He had a list.
@Careese_LaRoque
I’m so sorry for your loss. I have taught in person and remotely this year. The anxiety of crowded hallways, students who wouldn’t mask properly, and lax quarantine guidelines has been overwhelming. We did not sign up to be frontline workers. It’s all politics, and that’s sad.
@AdamParkhomenko
Even without COVID19, that is a disgusting amount of people in a pool. I need a shower just looking at it. Totally agree with you. They just fucked up things for several extra months.

My daughter and I are masochists. After seeing “Becoming”, we went back and watched some of Michelle and Barack’s speeches and, not going to lie, there were tears. I loved them both in the White House but I mostly miss having a human, empathetic, brilliant man in charge.

I’m happy to help, but disgusted that he has to go through this hell, all for doing the right thing. Where’s the “back the blue” crowd these days?
I’m sorry in advance, but fuck trump, fuck the GOP, fuck every single anti-mask fucking idiot who has been partying it up. My Dad has been to the ER w/o resolution 3 times now in 48 hours because they have nowhere to put him. He is really sick. He’s heading back. I’m terrified

Women need to be believed, period. I was in agony after a laparoscopic bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. Doc told me hot packs and Tylenol. I need a prophylactic mastectomy also, but I’m afraid I won’t get appropriate pain relief, so I keep putting it off.
Doctor twitter: can anyone explain why a 97 year-old, with a complex hip fracture, who has been waiting in the ER for over 36 hours to get a room, can’t have something stronger than Norco?
This feels barbaric, and I’m devastated that not only is she dying, she’s in agony too.
@JaredSpeight
I’m sorry. I get it, though. It is so many things. So many kids are going to miss out on some really amazing teachers. We didn’t pick teaching for the money, but in spite of it. A little respect and community/admin support would make a huge difference. Best of luck to you.
I have anxiety. I can usually hold it at bay and go on with life perfectly fine. Today is not that day. It’s been paralyzing, for no reason I can pinpoint, as anxiety tends to be. Literally as soon as I woke up. Anyone else struggling?
@lynnluvseddie
And this is yet one more reason that I feel my job as a health teacher is just as important as the core subjects. You might never use calculus again, but you will know the purpose of the doorbell.

I don’t blame them, but it’s pathetic that this country would rather turn schools into prisons than tackle the massive gun problem. Mass shootings are also happening at grocery stores, concerts, churches, and on and on, by the way. You want barbed wire around WalMart?
I just got the call I have been dreading. My favorite Aunt, who has been hospitalized for several weeks, has reached the end. I can’t get to the hospital due to the weather. I’m going to try in the morning to get to her and say goodbye. Please give your loved ones extra hugs.
Tomorrow is an awful anniversary, and I seriously wish I could just sleep the day away and wake up Monday. I know I’ve shared a lot here lately. I’m sorry? I know brighter days are ahead; I’m just hurting a whole lot right now.
@SHEsus__Christ
I would love to have a word with Tik Tok. You know, because teaching isn’t already insane. First, it was goddamn water bottles up on ledges and windows, this year it’s destroying bathrooms, and sticking gum on cars. I would take a slap for a civil suit and early retirement.
Here’s how we handle the transfer of classified documents going forward:
We put school librarians in charge. Those folks will hunt you down, and they will find you. They also will email you relentlessly until you begin to feel dread every time you get an email notification.
I’m really searching for an answer to why the media is giving so much attention to tfg. I don’t understand the reasoning, but it just feels irresponsible, in my humble opinion. Stop legitimizing him.
So much body shaming on here today. Do you realize the psychological damage it does? I was in my 20s, about to finish a triathlon with a PR. My Mom or boyfriend took this, & I was humiliated, because I hated my legs. Words matter. Let’s change for the next generation.

Every time I’ve dated a jerk, I ignored red flags. I have also dated incredibly wonderful men, who went out of their way to make sure I felt comfortable. They’re out there.
4 years ago, a coworker told me this girl needed a home. I had just formally separated and moved out. I thought maybe it was too big of a decision to make under those circumstances , but I am so grateful I brought her home.

As someone with a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Sports Medicine, who has worked with Division 1 athletes as a certified athletic trainer, there is zero need for any HS sporting association to keep track of students’ menstrual cycles. This is an abhorrent overreach.

This is really difficult, but I’m going with Harvest Moon for my personal favorite. It’s so beautiful and always makes me want to dance.
79 year-old man falls off a bike, and this is news? I’m almost half his age, and I wiped out teaching tennis to kids last week. Give the man credit for being so physically active.

To the healthcare workers in hospitals today, and every day, thank you. Thank you for your goodness, your kindness, your dedication to your patients, and your endless empathy. It is so very appreciated.
Elementary teachers: you should be paid double your salary. I worked w/my twin 3rd graders for a bit this afternoon. My favorite questions the teacher asked: “Emily, can you take the scissors out of your mouth?”, and, “Steven, can you please stop licking your Ipad?” 😂
#teacher
It’s just one of those painfully real days. I should slap on a smile, and be strong, but I just can’t tonight. I have nothing left to give anyone and only self hatred for myself. “Ask for help”, they say, but I don’t even know where to start.
@kdnerak33
Parents will see my “safe space” sign as well as my rainbow poster welcoming all. I can’t wait until someone comes at me and I get the joy of informing them that the school printed them for us to display.
My kids won’t wake up here tomorrow, and that breaks my heart, so I’m trying to see the silver lining. I have decided it’s not bad being done with presents and stockings before midnight.
Still clearing out Grandma’s house. Discovered a stash, and I mean, a jackpot, of a closet full of size 7.5 shoes that were never worn, still in original boxes. The woman was my spirit animal. Check out her original basement from the mid-century. I’ll be sick when it gets sold.
I naively thought that after Rep. Scalise was shot, and especially after 1/6, at least a handful of Republicans would care about gun reform. We know Sandy Hook didn’t faze them. Parkland didn’t. Uvalde didn’t.
They’re not pro-life. They are soulless monsters.
#GOPDeathCult
I don’t know what to say tonight, other than hug your kids tightly, if you have that luxury, and if you haven’t already, teach them about systemic racism, and to not only be horrified by it, but to actively work to bring about change.

@EdTufexis
Not a chance. My kids are with their Dad, and though I have been invited to parties, I would rather stay home alone. It’s not worth it. Everyone seems to have the “oh, that won’t happen to our family” mentality. Be safe.
I’ll never forget 11/11/11. I had been sick as a dog, so I went to the Doctor to confirm pregnancy and ask for Zofran. I was so nervous there wouldn’t be a heartbeat. Well, to my total shock, there were 2! Ten years ago today, I found out I was carrying twins. ❤️❤️
Ouch and on point! 👏❤️

Well, fuck. My sons’ school nurse just called. On a Sunday. They have been in school for 3 days and one of them was a close contact to a positive case. He has to quarantine until the 31st and get a PCR test Thursday. I kept my kids safe for 18 months. If you can get 1/2
@Spawn_03
Well, as an Illinois teacher, I would love to hear which middle school got $5,000,000 in federal funding for CRT. She literally makes shit up as she goes. She also doesn’t even understand what CRT is. It’s just another way to expose herself as the racist she is.
My daughter’s graduation was lovely & bittersweet. Until some kid named “Brandon” got his diploma, & his very classy family screamed, “Let’s go Brandon” & turned the night into a gathering of Maga suburbanites who think they live in the deep south with their Confederate flags. 🤮

So sick of it. I bring a decent amount of good shit to the table. Be excited to have a drink with me, or don’t. Just don’t waste my time.
And so it begins…twin B told his friend at recess that he has a crush on her. She wrote a note and told him not to open it until he got home. He gave me the honors because he was nervous. She wrote that she likes him too. My heart. 🥰
This guy keeps visiting me. My beloved grandfather used to joke that he would return as a cardinal and he would check on me after he died. Yes, it sounds crazy, but it comforts me.
Kavanaugh is upset and feels violated after protestors spent a few days outside his house. He. Feels. Vioated. Safe inside his home. It’s not like someone invaded his uterus. The irony is off the charts.

WTF is Jared doing in there? Did he become a medical or scientific expert when I wasn’t paying attention? It’s so sad and ridiculous what 45 has done to set America back.

I can’t even say I felt happy with the verdict. I just felt relief that they will actually go to prison, after such a blatant murder. The fact that it was a nail biter waiting for the jury shows us exactly how far we need to go to do better, to finally live in a just society.
IEP meeting in just over 3 hours and I can’t sleep. I have been doing this for 7 years, but after one bad experience, I am always nervous that the services my sons need will be cut. Their OT and speech therapists are phenomenal. I don’t want them to ever regress, that’s all.
Today, like the past week, I’m not seeing any of the people I follow, so since I have nothing but time, I’m searching as many friends out as possible. I’m liking as much as I can in hopes that it will fix the algorithm.
