Me! I’m at 374- a gazillion miles away. BUT I gained about 200 in two days so you never know!! Twitter was never my thing, but I want to do everything I can to fight for democracy, and networking here is validating. 💙
YOU GUYS!! I went from not quite 200 to almost 300 followers IN ONE DAY!!! I know that’s peanuts to lots of you, but for this tiny languishing account that’s HUGE. Thank you. 💙

Graham Greene. Something about how his cynicism always finds faith. And his sentences are gorgeous, his characters interesting, and he is so wickedly funny. I second Anxious People- haven’t read that yet but have read everything else by Backman and it always makes me feel better.

My student teacher works alongside me, all day, 5 days a week plus meetings etc. Full time teacher job. Not only does she NOT get paid for that, she has to pay to do it! It’s criminal. She works nights after her full day teaching and is on food stamps to make it happen.
@MegRaeB
Just started following you- so so sorry for what you are going through, and also maybe bad timing but I have to say dang I am appreciating you.

I’m floored by how many are incredibly selfish and how little value they place on the lives of the elderly and ill. We too gave up all the the things and (continue to) follow the rules because we won’t leave our old and sick behind. Been pissed for a long time.

Stop doing it. Really. I know that you are expected to do more than can be done in your contracted hours, but teachers shouldn’t work for free. Do the best you can in the time you’re given and then live YOUR life on YOUR off hours.

“Very hungry. So very hungry…” David stared sadly at the empty brown flute case that doubled as his lunch box. The insurance money was gone, so he was returning to his previous life of clubbing fish. The upside was that after a day at the fishery, his appetite would be gone too.

Yes Jamboard and Padlet. Also Google slide decks. 10 min mini-lesson/overview. 10 minute read a thing. 10 min create a thing in shared platform. 5 min review creations/ 5 min breakout discuss review. 5 min close. 5 min xit tix in chat=50 min (you talked 15)

I can only imagine the other “surprises”. Mandatory after school workshops on self-care perhaps? The staff room stocked w/ Lipton and Folgers? Jeans on Fridays? 🙄
@JessPish
My fourth graders sign up to be in one of the three branches: legislative, executive, judicial. Executive decides what we need rules about, legislative writes the rules, judicial decides if they are fair, and if not they go back to legislature to be re-written.
Infrastructure- to a man it’s roads and bridges; things he works on and often makes a damn decent (albeit hard) living doing so. To a woman it’s elder care and sick care and child care and it’s damn hard work and she does it for free. Broaden the definition.

I’m 50 and my back hurts and it’s hard to sit upright for hours. I think I deserve some minimum level of comfort by putting my seat back the few inches it will go. See how that works?

Working on it- maybe I’ll get there before my 12 hr flight this summer;) btw- idk why I jumped into the cesspool here. Thx for your no-drama reply. Have a good day; May your next flight be comfortable.
@ambernoelle
I imagine there are also lots like me- aspiring writers- who follow authors and lit mags and learn from community here that we otherwise have no access and exposure to.

@washingtonkate
I hadn’t been since the fire either- was scared I might not see my favorite swimming hole again- but we were able to access all the way through. River is low though.
@FoolsAPlenty
I’ve Arrived!!😁HA! Makes sense- definitely a lot of action in a short amount of time here. Thanks again for opening the door. Hope you have a great day!

It was that kind of Monday: hungover, late, raining, and of course the zipper on her jacket stuck as she was trying to get out the door.
