In the year of our lord 2022 we should be allowed to go home if the school wifi stops working

When I get a google calendar invite, I want an option for “unfortunately yes”

@rniemira Big tech hates women

I don’t really get surprised at things I have to do as a teacher anymore, but “I just won my rap battle” was not something I thought I’d be saying when this school year started

No one tells you that the downside of joining a masters swim team at age 22 is watching your teammates and coaches get old, get sick, and pass away :/

My toxic trait is I think I can plan a wedding, find a new apartment 400 miles away, find a new job 400 miles away, do my current job, take care of a dog, train to be at the top of my swimming game, and emotionally deal with all the changes at the same time

[becky @beckyflies]

@rniemira Oh no

[becky @beckyflies]

Not to be controversial on main but fall is the worst season. As a swimmer and teacher my power is at its peak in summer. You would think winter would be my natural enemy but winter at least has holidays.

@sweet_as_lemons You 1000% can

non-teachers be like "i was on zoom for two hours i'm so exhausted"

Last time I was in New Orleans my driver drove around a parade barricade and onto the sidewalk to get me close to my hotel. I hope he’s doing ok.

@rniemira Yooooo

Does anyone else go back and forth between dreams of wanting to be TikTok famous and the desire to delete the app altogether

Just realized that in the Glee cast version of “don’t rain on my parade” Rachel Berry never actually says the words “don’t rain on my parade.” Need some time to digest this information

[becky @beckyflies]

Watching the people on Fox News make fun of Kamala Harris’s name reminds me of the cringey anti-bullying video I had to show my students at the beginning of the year

[becky @beckyflies]

@rniemira Thank you for sharing

[becky @beckyflies]

expectations for teachers have gone through the roof but it seems like im not allowed to have high expectations for students? there's a difference between empathy/kindness and being a pushover. and having low expectations is a disservice to everyone. i think?

My swim coach talking about backstroke turns: I feel guilty because I can’t think of an image that doesn’t involve body-shaming a dinosaur

@rniemira Mine thinks it means waking up early 😮
