You know, it's supposed to be negotiated; you're supposed to cajole, get people in a room; you're supposed to deal with them, you have Republicans, you have Democrats, you have all these people that get elected to do this stuff, and you're supposed to get together and pass a law....

Several of our students this morning are anxious because they heard there are ICE raids happening in our town.

I haven't been told any district official policy, but I will not allow any ICE official to harass/take one of my students while they are in my care. Arrest me.

Social Changes Early 20th Century
Spanish-American War and WWI
Great Depression & The New Deal

This weekend my husband and I have planned our first night away from the baby since he was born 7 months ago.

In-laws are taking the baby for a night, hubby and I have couples massages booked, dinner reservations at a nice restaurant, and a hotel stay booked with a room with an en suite hot tub!

Nothing pisses me off quite the same way as people who follow you, then after you follow back, they unfollow you.

I regularly go through my follows and unfollow those who have done this.

A story of two school environments:

My husband was hired at his school a year ago. He's spoken with his principal twice since then.

I work in a different school in the same district. My principal babysits our infant so we can have date nights.

So Facebook removes a comment calling out a rape threat, but thinks the rape threat itself doesn't violate any community standards. Ok.

@i55i.bsky.social If you are going to follow someone, and then immediately unfollow them when they reciprocate, you're just an asshole who should be banned.

This year has been a tough one. Losing my mom while still learning how to be a mom myself has been a major struggle. And with living paycheck-to-paycheck on teacher salaries, Christmas will be small.

I'd love a little Christmas magic for my son's wishlist! www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

If you're going to follow people, just to unfollow them after they reciprocate, don't even bother.

Any Scotch drinkers in my followers?

I'm trying to buy a bottle for my husband as a gift, and I have no freakin' clue about Scotch. He likes the kind that smell like burning asphalt. My budget is about $60. Any recommendations?

My son (6 months) is feverish again, and is still tugging on his ear after an ear infection (we finished his antibiotics a week ago). 🙁 No daycare, can't go in with a fever. I feel like he's constantly sick., and that I'm doing something wrong.

PSA: Abortion is healthcare

The decision to have an abortion belongs to ONE person, the one who is pregnant. No politician, stranger, partner, or family member should have the right to decide if a pregnant person can have an abortion or not.

This is not a debate. Just a fact. #AbortionIsHealthcare

Happy Thanksgiving to all my American friends.

This year is a tough one, but there are still things to be grateful for. I'm grateful for my loving husband, my beautiful infant son, and the rest of my amazing family who have supported me. I'm grateful for my job, and my principal who supports me.

I had to lock down my account on the other place. I was debating with a MAGAt (pointless, I know), and he decided to tag a known terroristic hate group in the post to target me as an LGBT teacher. I started getting harassing messages.

People suck.
