Public School (middle) art teacher and artist so yes it’s true I don’t have time to post a lot of stuff. I’m concerned for my students and their futures.

Someone should go there and show them the clips of Trump's Great Gatsby party. I bet they'd be so happy to know he's having fun.
This is the food distribution line at Nellis Air Force Base in Las Vegas 11/7/25. This is what Trump doesn't want you to see.

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube.

Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X).

*1981 Sherrilyn horrified by 2025 Sherrilyn saying “let’s post Reagan’s speech.”

Autism is not caused by anything a mother does. Period.

That includes taking Tylenol. The Tylenol-causes-autism theory is one in a long line of "it's because mom did something wrong" theories of autism, which presupposes autism is something to eliminate *and* places blame on women.

Union members make 18% more on average than their non-union counterparts and are 60% more likely to have health benefits and almost twice as likely to have retirement benefits.

Unions can also provide you job security if the boss fires you for no reason -- or no good reason.

If I’d made a coffee mug this pretty in 8th grade I might be a potter now. Look at that bold glaze combo- S&C dandelion with Sapphire Float. Pic 2 is about half of the rest. A successful thing,

Pretty much done. Darker grout stains makes a difference. I’ll just touch up and re-stain the frame then get it hung up

Left, border without stain. Right, stained by 8th grader. I’m not sure if I like it or if we need to go darker, which was her idea in the first place but I liked the lighter test piece.

Good grout stain is like magic
April 14, 2025 at 10:10 PM
Today my 7-8 graders did a great job helping clean the grout out of words & texture, until the 7th hour boys thought I meant “remove the grout from between the tiles”. I stopped them before too much damage was done, it will just add a day of re-doing and touch ups. Otherwise we are ready for stain.
