First year of teaching, I told my students I wanted a superhero name. Thus, The Samsanator was born. Teacher, writer, feminist, mama, wife, craftivist.

I feel like a lot of work people have found me recently, which is great, but it’s probably worth saying that this is NOT a professional or school-related account. And when I do make it on here (which is not often), I’m very opinionated. So... follow at your own risk! 😉

@vogonpoetry42 Same. I’m so sorry.

[Steve Inskeep @NPRinskeep]

Never, never, never give up.

These videos of people doing remote work while kids and pets do their kid/pet things are giving me life. BECAUSE THIS IS LIFE. Finally we can all stop pretending that our work and our lives don’t overlap.

@mrs_pachecoJCHS Oh man. This was so me at 24-30. Now I’m happy if I make it out of the house with the coffee @timsamberts made and no spit up or peanut butter stains on whatever shirt was at the top of my drawer.

My brain is a ping pong ball.

Do your best today. Sometimes that’s 1%. Sometimes it’s knocking it out of the park.

Either way, it’s your best.
It’s enough.

Don’t forget to eat lunch.
Love you! ❤️

Thankfully, this is not me. But I know a lot of people for whom this is absolutely true.

.@realdonaldtrump just said: "if it were up to the doctors, they'd shut down the entire world." Actually, if it were up to us, we'd save as many people as possible. We would follow the science & evidence. We would never put politics ahead of the public's health #covid19

🤔 Might work...

I’ve watched a lot of book reports like this. I can verify those is true.

My son said watching Trump do a press conference is like watching the kid who didn’t read the book give his book report.

The world needs more of this.

[Ashley Lauren @samsanator]

@rkinnee I hope so.

[Ashley Lauren @samsanator]

@veronicaeye @ChiPubSchools 😭

But also true.

[Ashley Lauren @samsanator]

Huh. Interesting.

TBH, @timsamberts and I have talked a lot about this. We want to see schools treat this as trauma and work to help kids accordingly when we return to school, whenever that may be.
