@heymrsbond The Reby Cary Children’s library here in Fort Worth has a play space. It is great when the weather is uncooperative… and you can get books or use the maker space or participate in the library programming.

Another good reading year. I finished the Rivers of London series and the Iron Druid series. The World We Make by N. K. Jemisin was probably my favorite book of the year.

Raises hand. We have kids 4 days next week then a teacher work day.

Whoever approved this nonsense has not been in contact with children (or teachers) in awhile.

I met another teacher today whose winter break doesn't start til December 23rd. I texted my mom to add that whole district to her intercessions.

@cormac_mcginley Beautiful. Definitely on my list of places to visit.

I have completed my challenge of 80 books! Woohoo! Nice to accomplish something I enjoy in this topsy turvy year. https://t.co/ZlnoKFq9ns

For new followers: check out this article I wrote for the NYT which provides an overview of the project’s thesis.

I am thankful for grocery delivery. I used to think this was a silly extravagance (and I fully acknowledge this is a privilege). But in fighting cancer, it is such a relief to be able to conserve energy and not be exposed to all the germs. #Thankful #Cancer

Just so y’all know…we can make whatever we like for Thanksgiving. I am making banana pudding this year because I want some.

(Key lime is my brother’s favorite and I occasionally make it for him.)

[Mina Kimes @minakimes]

My potentially controversial pie take is the actual best pie is one that’s not even served on Thanksgiving: Key lime. I’m sorry but it’s true!

[Erin Atwood @EDAPhD]

Chemo and cancer and teaching the week before Thanksgiving have kicked my ass this week. Looking forward to a week off to rest. #breastcancer

[Erin Atwood @EDAPhD]

@heymrsbond We cannot “growth mindset” our way out of every problem. We need healthcare and systems that protect the health of teachers and students…not more blame.

I’m immune compromised from chemo and taking all the precautions I can, but it’s just me against the world.

Chemo week 6: This is the halfway point for this first type of chemo. 6 down and 6 to go. Fatigue has been more intense this week. Good thing my job is light and easy 😂

[Erin Atwood @EDAPhD]

@heymrsbond No! Not the passive aggressive way of calling you disrespectful. Peak white nonsense. Keep doing what you do Mrs. Bond!

[Erin Atwood @EDAPhD]

@HeatherL114 To be even remotely effective, this doesn’t seem like the kind of thing to mandate. The teacher has to be onboard with this as a concept and tool.

@cormac_mcginley My first thought was “Why is the rock sad?”

[Erin Atwood @EDAPhD]

I just love this guy and this team.

Astros fans with the Jose chant while he tries not to blush or be uncomfortable. 😆

[Erin Atwood @EDAPhD]

Holy shit!!! I love Jose Altuve! #Astros

[Erin Atwood @EDAPhD]

@heymrsbond No they didn’t! That last quest…
