@profkateaguilar The ONLY thing I will do is chop up veggies now because I love...learning how to use different knives.

@profkateaguilar I'm sorry to hear this. I absolutely abhor cooking in any fashion. I cooked while my daughter was in school, now in college. I always offer to buy anything but politely tell them I will not cook every time they ask me to join them in the kitchen. They have finally quit asking.

@JasonAblin I do this as a teacher but can barely keep up with regular teacher duties and can only afford 1 research based book a semester. I'm glad she could. I wish I could.

Think about this next time @GovAbbott offers any praise for Texas public school teachers...

Consider your most stressful day/week as a public school educator, then reflect on the following:

(1) Texas public school employees are tired, burned out, underappreciated, and many work in underresourced schools.

(2) Texas teachers busted their rears and sacrificed their own families by helping our students and communities endure a global pandemic.

THEN...

(3) Texas teachers were used as fodder as the Governor told voters they were "woke" and that they teach kids to "hate America."

AND...

(4) Texas ranks in the bottom 10 states in per-student funding.

(5) Texas' $32.7 billion surplus is the size of the budget of South Carolina.

FINALLY...

(6) Policymakers could not find it within themselves to provide teachers with any raise, nor could they find it within themselves to increase school funding...due to their insistence on tying funding to vouchers.

These people MUST be held accountable. The 2023/24 school year should not start until we: (a) increase teacher pay; and (b) increase school funding.

PERIOD.

There was a shoplifting ring in my hometown who was known for dropping huge sums of money on designer clothes.

Everyone in town knew who they were, but they NEVER got caught.
Some high end stores would even let them shop freely, KNOWING they were thieves

Why?

Dear Ma & Pa MAGA,

donald trump didn’t lower your taxes. He didn’t get your roads fixed or your bridges built. He didn’t get you healthcare coverage, lower the price of your prescriptions, decrease the deficit, end the opioid crisis, revive the coal industry, he didn’t make “covid disappear”, didn’t make Mexico “pay for the wall”, he didn’t “put America First” and he sure as hell didn’t “drain the swamp”.
So when you say he “fought for you”, you mean he validated your hate.
Because he didn’t do a goddamn thing for you other than that.

He hates who you hate.
And sadly, that’s all you think you need.
