Game I've been playing while teaching Macbeth for the first time: find the @HamiltonMusical lyrics.

They're all over. My kids think I'm too much of a nerd when I yell it out...

Moving to #threadapp since twitter hates people like me who are: educated, democrat, anti-nazi, pro-choice, LGBTQIA, an ally, a teacher, poor, reads banned books, and fact checks their shit.

Peace out Girl Scout.

Ohhh, I can block the Twitter Blue reply guys all at once...they're always right at the top.

Hey! Hey...trans women are women! Climate change is caused by people! Healthcare is a human right! Birth control should be free and abortion should be legal!

A UPS driver’s excitement over his first paycheck could hardly be contained.

Yoel Diaz said he was so excited because he could barely fill his refrigerator before immigrating from Cuba.

Now, he lives in Phoenix, Arizona, and his fridge is full.

"This is my first hourly paycheck that I feel every hour counted," he said in the video. "That every hour of work has importance in my life and that I know I can work hard for something. I can't compare that emotion with anything. Because I never had that in my country." 

He stated, he's "grateful" to be in the United States.

"When you have this for the first time, your head explodes and say, 'Wow, it's beautiful,'" he said.

Before he came to the U.S. in 2021, Diaz was a computer science teacher in Cuba, earning $12 a month. He lamented how far ahead the U.S. was in the field. 
Diaz met his wife, who is Cuban American, when they were young and still living in Cuba. She'd often tell him about the realities outside of Cuba, which she believed was held back by its Communist party. They eventually married and were faced with a decision: stay or go to the U.S.

Diaz said he told his wife: "We want a future, we want a family... wherever you go I go."

He came to America on a K-1 visa, and when he received his work permit, he applied for a job at UPS.

"I never had this much money in my hands from my effort, from my sweat, and it hurts that millions in my country and other countries can't have that," he said. "And being here, you can get it in a dignified manner."

I would like to point out that Riley asking “can I kiss you” is the first time I’ve truly heard someone respectfully ask permission at a first meeting opposed to assuming it should happen.
Bravo, my man.

It’s totally a @johngreen move to take over @TheCrashCourse and create the subject Tuberculosis.

Bravo, my man.

When Does Your County Fair Start: 2023 Edition

I would like @DJFlash4eva and @MaskedSingerFOX to know that since March 1st, our 23 month old daughter has requested the “puppy song” everyday (Thinks the polar bear was a puppy). She loves it so much. We also know the song by heart now… thanks.

#MappingReligion largest protestant group by number of churches by county in Iowa.

Green = Lutheran
Blue = Methodist
Brown = Reform

There is a north-south split going on generally between Lutherans and Methodists

[Kelly Renae ♡ @Educated_Lyon]

Can we make it to where the bigots just keep boycotting things so the rest of us get the good stuff? I’m okay with them going away 🫣
