As a mom of 2 and a high school teacher, everyday is a new adventure.

No more “suffering in silence is brave, selfless, and romantic.” Asking for help is harder, the vulnerability of it more terrifying, the intimacy of it more loving, a gift of trust to those who care about you. You are strong and courageous to ask for the help you need.

On this sad day we can all remember and celebrate the lesson taught to us by Grease (1978): if you don’t fit in, change yourself, become sexier, wear leather, smoke cigarettes. A message to live by 💔

@iheart_Ari So that’s what Milo has been waiting for!

Shout out to my fellow adults who randomly break out into "We Don't Talk About Bruno."

Just remembering you’ve had an “and” when you’re back to “or” makes the “or” mean more than it did before.

It’s that time of year again. Some people believe teachers have paid summer vacation. Here’s a recap:

-we are 10 month employees not 12
-our pay is spread over 12 months
-summer pay is money we’ve already earned
-we are still teaching/learning/planning during the summer

I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it a thousand times: Encouraging kids to be who they are is suicide prevention.

I am officially at the “toilet paper instead of tissues” point of the school year…

@CarySaxton Bringing back the 90’s baby! SO to my fav librarian who made me so happy today 😁

Let’s stop shaming teen girls for the things that they love. Let them enjoy their broody romances and their bands and their fall-flavored drinks. Grant them the space to discover who they are without fear of being made fun of.

before anything happens to twitter does anyone want to tell me how ardently they admire and love me

[Icona @iconawrites]

Have a favourite coffee cup. Do your accounts on a colourful notebook with a gel pen. Get excited about tomorrow’s breakfast. Stop on your way to the library to admire a cherry tree in blossom.

Do not ever forget to take joy in the small, ordinary things.

I’m so confused. So many things to worry about: In what order does one worry about them?
