In 2014, after being named Teacher of the Year, my supervisor told me if I said I was gay in public I would be "shot in the head."
I was told I would be fired if I did not bring her all of my private mail from home to read. (more)
Soon to be one of the most important songs in US history. Time to buy some music.

Hey @FredMeyerInc - we get our groceries delivered. We got two cartons of rotten dairy dated Jan 20 (as in chunky and nasty). Nowhere on your website/reciept can I find a way to inform you that A. I need a refund and B. you are selling rotten food (what store it came from).
When President Clinton banned assault rifles in 1994, mass shootings dropped by 43%. After Republicans let the ban expire in 2004, they increased by 243% — please don’t tell me bans don’t work, because I don’t want to hear it.
There are 500 tons of food (high calorie biscuits for children) in the USAID warehouses that are set to be burned tomorrow because there is no staff left to distribute it. We paid for that food. It is ours. NOT trump's to destroy on his silly whims. FEED THOSE KIDS!!
Tax cuts for the rich, potatoes for the poor and a king demanding the peasants grovel for his handouts.

I remember when Jimmy Carter put solar panels on the roof of the White House. It made me think that we would be OK. That smart people could use their brains to help us save ourselves.
It was the first time I felt a politician cared about what I care about.
RIP President Carter.
If you got a lot of cards this year I would be very thankful if you sent the fronts of them to me for a classroom art project. (We are going to cut them up-make "quilts" out of the pieces, and take them to the nearby retirement home next December).
EVERY holiday card is welcome!
Thank you @Massteacherguy! You are the only one who liked my "dad's second family" post and I thought it was my best tweet ever!
It earned you a follow. (though mostly on Bluesky-same name)
