Hello? Is this thing on? Anybody out there?

[eve andrews @eefandrews]

feeling surprisingly melancholy about the likely end of a platform that, in spite of wasting so much of my time and inspiring a great deal of distress for the human condition, introduced me to a number of wonderful real life friends that I don’t think I’d ever meet otherwise

I had a guy friend with a Ph.D in engineering ask me last week how women pee with a tampon in and this is why men shouldn’t be passing laws about women’s bodies.

Mississippi doesn't have drinkable water. Texas doesn't have a working power grid. Florida doesn't have enough teachers.

This is what happens when Republican leaders focus more on banning abortion, punishing LGBT teachers and suppressing votes than serving their constituents.

[Sari Beth Rosenberg @saribethrose]

It’s not a teacher shortage problem.

It’s a you disrespected, underpaid & demonized teachers so they resigned from the profession problem.

In the 2020s twin coronavirus and monkeypox pandemics, humans in Western countries decided that the best course of action was to focus on fighting the fear of the viruses instead of fighting the spread of the viruses (which they thought was way too hard and like, bad vibes).

I know it ain’t miss not posting the salary talkin

The RAPID SPEED at which local and state lawmakers are working to roll back civil rights is what's most terrifying to me, bc people are not and frankly can not pay attention to all that's happening, which means getting caught unaware and unprepared when it reverberates...

Listen.

Covid changed a lot.

There was a mass exodus from cities to small towns and different states.

Over a million people died.

People are chronically ill with long covid.

Take yourself to the polls because the world you knew in 2020 is gone.

Nothing is certain.

Finding your kid in a school music performance is a bit like a real life Where’s Waldo? game

Me: (comfortably walking in my adorable sneakers; watching my daughter clomp along in across the parking lot) “so what have we learned about heels tonight kiddo?”

Z: “to not wear them!” (Gets in van and kicks them off with a sigh of relief)

Thus endeth this lesson in womanhood

Kudos to the kids’ high school for combining concerts for parents who have multiple kids who are in band and orchestra and choir. For those of us who have a kid in only one of those categories, though, it’s a damn long concert…

There’s a ghost on the corner of 3rd and Broadway

I noticed him the other day, as I made a left turn at the light.

He wasn’t there a week ago.

He must be new.

Nobody I recognize, but then again, his face is blurry and indistinct.

I look at him now, and I drive past. 1/

@MDGuzy Thanks. :-)

Them: We’re short staffed. We don’t have teachers, bus drivers, restaurant workers, delivery persons, nursing aides… people don’t want to work!

Me: It could be that… or maybe it’s that 715,000 people have died…& currently another 1 is dying every 47seconds. They were “staff”
