At least I have something to call it, instead of wondering WTF my issue is.

There's a lot of talk about how to monitor screen time for kids. But for kids to have healthy relationships with technology and smartphones, parents need to model good habits. Here's how. n.pr/4qUnkjx
Want less screen-obsessed kids? Set better tech boundaries for yourself

Laying torn in pain,
struck by scorn in silent war,
heard faint tune from coppered horn~

"Everything you love matters as self scatters~
when battles thought fought reveal true tattered banners.

Your blood, sweat and tears, amidst unwitnessed fears, are enough."

I feel like I say this every year but I really need people to hear it. Halloween is the best American holiday. Just kids outside welcomed into their world, marching around together, showing off their costumes to the elderly, parents meeting parents, neighbors catching up with neighbors.

I was saddened by the callousness of a colleague who suggested that losing SNAP benefits would force people to get jobs, especially given our students' poor, rural backgrounds where many are raised by grandparents.

Troubling times reveal true character.

Eeyore the Smart Ass was not impressed with my choice of a costume for him this year. He is styling an eclectic ensemble consisting of a pink tutu and a wizard's hat. 😜

Republicans are willing to let more than 600,000 Kentuckians go hungry.

Their government shutdown will cut off SNAP benefits in November because feeding Kentucky kids isn't their priority, but Trump's golden ballroom is.
