So mad at the Guardian 4 right now (one sensor failed at 6 days, the replacement failed after less than 2 after spending 40% of it's time 'updating') that in a fit of pique I dug out my Dexcom 7s that I never got around to donating.

Medtronic says the Instinct ships late fall. Hope that's soon!!!

One of the teachers I'm working with properly for the first time this year bought a puzzle off Amazon for her homeroom class to work on during periods when there's not a lot of other stuff for them to do.

I looked at it briefly in passing as the kids were doing the edges and starting to fill it in.

Costco really is the best. I bought tires from them just over two years ago and recently started having trouble with one, which resulted in a shredded blowout on my way to work yesterday. Brought it in and they were like "holy shit let's get you a new one immediately of course it's under warranty."

Thinking today how homelessness runs through this story, through Epstein's (Virginia Guiffre had been homeless before meeting him), and even through Gaiman's (his nanny was sleeping on the beach when Palmer recruited her, and he used threats of homelessness against another victim).

Counting down the days until the end of the semester because my co-planning partner/roommate will be back and maybe next semester will be less stressful 🫠

(11/16 days teaching new material, 10/5 days review, 4 days testing, THEN DONE.)

Dick Cheney, who died at the age of 84 on Monday, never addressed the worst transgression of his decades in politics and government: his deployment of lies to grease the way to the Iraq invasion that led to the deaths of more than 4,400 US soldiers and 200,000 or so Iraqi civilians.
Dick Cheney and the big lie that should never be forgotten
It led to 4,400 dead US troops and 200,000 or so dead Iraqi civilians.

I don't care how much of a millennial stereotype the color is, @bpal.bsky.social's Greige Dragon is such a great perfume. Easy to wear to school every day and feel like I'm successfully cosplaying A Real Grownup.

one of the hardest things about being married to someone from the midwest is trying to get out the door after seeing their family and it takes 45+ minutes to fulfill all of the obligations of the Traditional Midwest Goodbye.

the president has destroyed the east wing of the white house without so much as a word of input from anyone else to build a royal ballroom paid for with bribes
NEW: After The Washington Post reported Monday on the demolition of the "East Wing facade," a new picture obtained by Law Dork that was taken on Tuesday shows that a substantial portion of the entirety of the East Wing has been demolished.

Confession: I hate dust jackets on books. Straight up hate them. I throw that shit away the moment I start reading a new book.

And yet. The Mega Fancy Annotated ROTS novel has one. And underneath it there's no title or any identifying information on the book cover itself.

Part of teaching ESOL students how to write essays involves showing them examples of the process. This unit is all about the standard 5-paragraph argumentative essay, and the topic they've been given is "is technology good or bad for bringing people together?" Most of them are arguing that it is.

just spent a solid 20 minutes that I should have been continuing to grade these science unit writings to throw together an extra credit assignment on the passive voice with That Goddamned CNN Article because we covered passive voice in Unit 2.

Not sure if I can bring myself to actually use it.

Bobby and I were going to do Badman Vegeta and lab coat Bulma for a friend's Halloween party this year and each had about half our outfits thrifted.

Party got canceled, but the bright pink shirt happened to be a woman's....... What I I Am Badman Vegeta For Halloween.
