"The Holocaust didn’t begin when they opened concentration camps. It began with words ... we have to keep that in mind and learn from history that words do matter. And so it is important to call people out."

The World Cup begins tomorrow, and many will watch the matches. Soccer reminds us of something we must not forget: life is not a race to show off on our own, but a path we learn to walk together. Anyone who does not know how to pass the ball, even if they have talent, has not yet understood the game. Anyone who does not know how to live with and for others has not yet understood life. #ApostolicJourney

•I’m not entitled to anyone’s help or support.
•Our class wish list is exactly that.
•I really am a teacher (year #25 on deck).
•I don’t put personal items on our class list.
•I don’t tag or DM people to shop our list.
•I don’t criticize those that help others.
•Items purchased from our list create a supportive & engaging learning environment for our 4th grade students.
• I’ve made 3 Amzn returns in my life & that’s only because I’m not an “everything fits me” kind of girl. It took multiple hours each time & I hate it.

I’m sure I’m forgetting some important statements, but after reading some posts today, it’s what’s on my mind. I can only speak for myself, but I hope I speak for most teachers in the community.

Back to grading. 𝒳𝒪𝒳𝒪

A customer at the library asked me a question I wasn't prepared for.

Customer: Excuse me.

Customer: Why does this machine require flesh?

Me: ...what?

Customer: This machine.

Customer: I am touching it, but it does not work.

Customer: Is because... flesh?

At this point I was trying very hard to figure out whether I had accidentally wandered into a horror movie.

Then she held up her hands.

She was wearing gloves.

Me: Oh!

Me: The touchscreen.

Me: Right.

Me: Yeah, it probably can't detect your fingers through the gloves.

Customer: Ah.

Customer: Okay.

Customer: Sorry to bother.

Me: No, no.

Me: That's the best thing I've heard all week.

She laughed.

The machine worked.

And I thought that was the end of it.

It was not.

Now whenever one of our library computers stops working, someone inevitably says:

Staff: It requires flesh.

Staff: The machine must be fed.

Another staff member: Who's volunteering?

So thanks to one perfectly innocent question, our library now sounds like a cult every time the self-checkout freezes.

A bear, however hard he tries,
Grows tubby without exercise.
Our Teddy Bear is short and fat,
Which is not to be wondered at;
He gets what exercise he can
By falling off the ottoman,
But generally seems to lack
The energy to clamber back.

If you see someone who loves dogs on X, please let them know about DogDog!

And it often helps to show them proof.

If we work together, the impact on homeless pets could be ENORMOUS! 🐾

“Christopher Robin!” he said in a loud whisper.
“Hallo!”
“I think the bees SUSPECT something!”
“What sort of thing?”
“I don’t know. But something tells me they’re SUSPICIOUS!”
“Perhaps they think you’re after their honey?”
“It may be that. You never can tell with bees.”~A.A.Milne

She was stabbed 3 times in the stomach this time last year.

I could not be more proud of Chance now. She is like a new dog and I'm so happy she lives with me now
