Today my students said they like my scarf & when I said I wear in memory my mom’s memory b/c it was hers, they asked questions about my mom & asked to see photos. I told them that when you lose someone, it means so much to have other people ask about them. This is #whyiteach

Anyone else find it odd that the Yankees Analytics Department ‘made new bats’… then they proceeded to hit NINE homers and score 20 runs against the Brewers?

Sorry, I can't talk right now. I am doing the pigeon. 🕺

You don't have to have a class of 30 students to consider yourself overworked. Simply existing as a teacher in our current system is proof enough

I am so grateful this was sent to me this morning. #bydhttmwfi

Leaders, give teachers your best, so they can give students their best!

I’ve been really wondering…how do the @sesamestreet muppets get to the Paris Olympics? Do they travel in actual airplane seats? Are the muppets stowed in the overhead bin? Do they have multiple versions of the muppet that live in Paris? I need to know!

Good customer service goes such a long way! I had the best interactions today with Pure Barre & Spectrum! Both made my day!

When I was a teen, Gia on Full House, was the baddest bitch on TV. Sorry to the Euphoria Girlies and the Pretty Little Liars but they don't make them like this anymore.

This motherfucker ran a solid kingdom and I think some acknowledgement of that is overdue. Low crime, clean streets, quality monarch.

A couple takes their dog for a walk early one morning, and then suddenly the husband is brutally killed.

It’s a story where nothing is what it seems - on our all-new Season Premiere of 20/20 “Happily Never After” with @EvaPilgrim - Friday at 9/8c on @ABC. Stream on Hulu.

The way we leave 1st year teachers to just figure it out on their own, sink or swim

…because veteran teachers are too overwhelmed with daily minutiae to get out of our rooms & help?

It’s a mess. Just a mess.
