Me: goes the entire 2021-22 school year without getting sick (minus getting Covid over my winter break, which sucked).

Also me: gets sick immediately after the school year ends.

I still can’t believe Maverick was able to pull this mission off in the new Top Gun!

If this happen in California I would resign the day it was ratified.

Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine is set to sign a bill on Monday allowing teachers to carry guns in class after 24 hours of training, despite opposition from teachers and police. https://t.co/H529oQQTFA

including 30 minutes of going nowhere in my car driving through downtown LA because the Summit of the Americas has created a traffic nightmare, including (for some inexplicable reason shutting down a major freeway I need to get on to get to work.

[Derek Denny @DerekIsAGooner]

I found a shiny Pokémon while waiting to hop on the freeway this morning, and I thought it was an omen that today was gonna be a good day. Then it took me twice as long and drive to work…

[Derek Denny @DerekIsAGooner]

It’s 8:00am. Coworkers do not need to be saying “good morning” in the work restroom. We need to internally think “Why are there so many of us in here? Can’t we get a moment of privacy before the work day starts?”Then we take care of our business privately and quickly.

HBO SERIOUSLY WAITED FOR THE FIRST DAY OF PRIDE MONTH TO FINALLY ANNOUNCE SEASON 2 and all I can say is that was well played, HBO.

[hbo max fka @streamonmax]

Season 2 is officially setting sail. #OurFlagMeansDeath

[Derek Denny @DerekIsAGooner]

Like, I know this is my immediate snap shot reaction, but at the very least this deserves an official complaint. It could even turn into a law suit. Missing both penalties is just inexcusable.

[Derek Denny @DerekIsAGooner]

In fitting fashion, John Moss has made his final game all about him. Huddersfield have been absolutely robbed, and it’s astonishing that VAR bailed him out instead of overturning the call to give a clear penalty. Good riddance, John Moss.

[Derek Denny @DerekIsAGooner]

Imagine being Huddersfield and being denied promotion because of John Moss’s gross incompetence.

This is how we get the Super League. Absolutely shame on you, @UEFA.

[Zara Rahim @ZaraRahim]

insane how the only notable change since Sandy Hook is that kids are now formally trained to hide, barricade doors, fight, or run for their lives. that was the solution. to literally put the responsibility on them to figure it out and wish them luck.

[Derek Denny @DerekIsAGooner]

So fuck guns. Fuck the second amendmen. Fuck the NRA. Fuck the people who support it. You enable the slaughter of the innocent, and in the year 2022 there are no valid reasons to justify allowing people these weapons that outweigh the death toll they bring.

If you’re curious what it’s like to teach in an American school at the moment, here are some of my personal experiences.

[Derek Denny @DerekIsAGooner]

Instead of grading assignments and preparing my final lesson plans for the year, I’m sitting in my classroom wondering if I should find another profession that won’t put me in such danger every day.
