I really want to take a mental health day tomorrow, but we’re expecting snow this weekend that will probably cancel some classes next week. I wish I knew it wouldn’t throw my teaching plan too far off course. 😏

Be kind to yourself.
You are starting another weekday during a brutally hard time in the world.
Take time to acknowledge that, feel it, then keep going. The only way out is through.

BTW when I say abolish ICE, I mean abolish it entirely and replace it with exactly nothing. Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free. That's it.

Feeling sick after seeing the video on insta before I could get away from it. The last time I saw something like that on film was literally a doco on the N*zi invasion of Poland. I am angry, I am sad, I stand with Minneapolis.

Some good news! Democrats have removed all anti-trans provisions from the final appropriations bill– including those that would have blocked public funds for gender-affirming care and threatened funding for schools that support trans students. buff.ly/RBrUu7u

The HHS and Education bills once contained the most sweeping anti-trans provisions in congressional history. Now they contain none.

A little family-owned Chinese restaurant called New China. Gone for about 20 years now, but such a beloved part of my childhood. Best damn homemade egg rolls and duck sauce.
Sunday night timeline cleanse
please tell me about your favorite lost restaurant (closed for at least 5 years, like I really want you to go back into the vault), why you loved it and what you ate there
