The twitching of a dog’s foot against my human thigh,
Grunting and snuffling and snorting that signal his dreams.
I lie awake, wishing for my own sleep,
but now also knowing
if I’d found it
I would have missed
this
moment.

@KevinQ@NYTGames@jshkatz@mathisonian WordleBot, which was hands down the best thing about Wordle, disappeared when I updated my iPhone NYT app. Where is it?
NEW: Walgreens made donations to 11 members of the Sedition Caucus in November 2021, totaling $25.5k, breaking the pledge they made after Jan 6th to indefinitely suspend contributions to members of Congress who objected to the election certification. Shame on them.
Where I sit, the world
is quiet, unassuming.
Snow falls & becomes
rain, rain falls
& becomes snow.
I write on a pad of paper
& think of the tea
steeping in the cup next to me.
200 miles away in Kentucky
The wind shook the world
And my friends died.
Couple problems w/ this math: 1) Teachers don’t work 12 months. Their hourly wage isn’t what this suggests. 2) This wage for teachers is ridiculous. The solution is pay them more also, not keep the minimum wage unlivable.
So Biden’s $15 minimum wage comes out to $31,200 a year for a 40 hour work week. The starting salary for a beginning teacher in Texas is $33,660. So a person working a minimum wage job will be making almost the same as a teacher with a college degree. Does this make any sense? 🤷♂️
