@wesflinn.bsky.social Now that you're just one State over, you've got to come to TMEA. You'll have a blast. Root beer at Schilo's is on me.

I'm really saddened by the large-scale enshitification of Android "news" sites. I remember writing multi page analysis of the number of clicks it took to complete tasks in different launchers and collaborating on detailed kernel releases. Now, it's single sentence paragraphs on app color choices.

I was raised a mountain farm conservative and taught to honor the Constitution and Rule of Law.
I currently find myself the target of name calling and insults by modern conservatives because I stood up for the Constitution and Rule of Law in supporting today's protests.

I know this is a public platform, but I feel safer here than almost anywhere else at this point. I've deleted all my X profiles after my feed began turning into a depressing, angry, bitter stream of falsehoods and I pretty much only use Facebook for the people who aren't here.

Several churches in my town are gathering today for an interfaith Celebration of Life for a certain celebrity.
I mentioned "what if we got together, pooled our resources, and bought and cancelled medical debt?" and got laughed out of the room.

Hey #YouTube, how about requiring content creators to identify AI-assisted or AI-generated content? Human authors don't mention #mechanicalprecision every four sentences. Human readers don't say "number" every time a sentence ends with the word "no."

Ed Dept has pulled funding for programs in eight states aimed at supporting students who have hearing & vision loss. They got caught in Trump admin’s attacks on DEI, with Ed Dept spokesperson citing concerns about “divisive concepts” and “fairness” in acknowledging decision to withhold the funding.

If a student loses education services because they move, that's cruelty.
If a person loses the medical care because they move, that's cruelty.
If a couple's status is penalized because they move, that's cruelty.

I thought I was going to a short Imposition of Ashes service this morning and ended up attending a full length Mass. I actually really enjoyed it and was able to keep up with most of the liturgy even with my UMC high church experience.

Ever have a private lesson that makes you want to run through a wall? My euphonium student just came in and nailed the week's assignment. His jury is going to be funktastic.

It's #TMEA week! So much to look forward to in San Antonio.
The only thing I'm not looking forward to is explaining that my school (Austin College) isn't a community college and isn't in Austin. Repeatedly.

Finally home from a whirlwind holiday trip to Tennessee. After 34 hours in the van in the course of a single week, I don't want to go anywhere for a long while.

Sorry it's been a while, folks. Between end of term duties, husband and dad duties, and gastric bypass surgery, my plate has been full. I have time to breathe now.
