Completely unrelated, but my action for the day includes letting everyone know that Penzey's is having a sale on Chicken TACO Seasoning, and on rainbow spices.

Child, 8, yrs old, on the way to school this morning: "Why do cheetahs like eating meat?"

I explained cats, and obligate carnivores.

8: "Oh. People are made of meat. So we should stay away from cheetahs."

My joy this week:
I am learning to tape and mud walls by finally finishing the interior of the shed.
I took the Free Radical to HPB for a book they needed for school and found two TJ Klune books I didn't have.
My 4th graders' seed sprouting experiment got extra exciting with a rare mutation.

John Roberts, you up?
With these posts, they’ve made it essentially inarguable that they’re deliberately defying the Supreme Court.

Stand back, I'm going to try science!
This is my second year teaching a seed growth lab for 4th graders at my school. It went pretty well last year, and this year will be even better. If the kids don't want to take their seedlings home, I've arranged for them to go into the school garden.

I know a lot of people are boycotting Amazon, which is great, but it's hurting a lot of trans authors.

Trans authors: Drop links to your NON-AMAZON book listings/storefronts.

Cis people: Repost, boost, and, importantly, buy. Part of boycotting an evil corporation is supporting the alternatives.

Nothing like waiting for the last possible second to get that burst of adrenaline 😬

My cat discovered the fish which have been there for a year.

I made bread today, just to have something to go with this spinach & artichoke dip I got at Costco.

Oof. Three days in a row in the same 4th grade class, and apparently Valentine's Day is equivalent to Halloween for elementary school teachers. I got my 10k steps today, but Holy crap I am tired.

I accidentally became important at work, and it's ruining my life.

My brain is overloaded and I need a cleanse. Have a random selection of things that have made me smile lately.

Unfortunately for me, this means I willbe taking down my bird-attractant features. Bird feeders and my fountain.
Bird flu is now spreading from birds to pets to people, but Donald doesn't want you to know that because it might make him look bad.

Resist 💪
Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

Having to fight Elon Musk at DOGE before we’ve even battled Trump feels like having to defeat the forces of Saruman first at Helm’s Deep.

Does the GOP congress and "supreme" court not realize they are giving away their own power?

This is a rhetorical expression of frustration, I realize they do not give a f.

Current read: The Crucifix Killer. I'm on chapter 14, and seriously considering setting it down for now, because my BotM came yesterday 📚💙🥰
