He/Him/His. Physics & Math teacher out in Western Mass. You'll also likely be subject to me regularly bringing up social justice-related things, music, and probably the Celtics. Oh and bread.

I've been at my parents' house for exactly three hours. I've eaten two full meals, had two coffees, and a dessert.

Speed running the holiday weight gain I guess. 😂

Happy holidays.

If I were President, I’d decorate the Oval by painting a giant mural of that famous painting of Lee surrendering to Grant, cyclorama style. A whole 360 degree immersion experience

Happy 36th anniversary of coming to the US to me. To show my appreciation for what it's done for me, I'll continue to do what I can to push it towards fulfilling its self-proclaimed values. 🫡

Apparently the situation is such that faculty finds itself juuuust short of the coffee needed to make it to break. It's also maybe the most hectic day of the year.

Picked some up on the way in this AM. Crisis averted. 😅

Every year, trying to make it to break with both students and teachers dropping like flies.

Seriously there's been like 80 emails with "X has left for the day" this week. We're not that big a school, y'all!
