Hey, everybody, I switched over to Apple Music from #Spotify + it's actually cheaper: $10.00 for 3 months versus $9.99/month. You can port over your playlists, plus it doesn't support ICE (to my knowledge).

I’m so proud of how deeply my students think.
"I have been falsely accused before and I would be upset if i were in a situation like the Salem Witch Trials. It must’ve felt mentally exhausting to be antagonized just for existing."

Today I get to be the coffee fairy at my school for our Coffee and Cookies event!
So obviously, I had to wear my old Starbucks uniform. ☕️
I left the company in 2022 after 4 years, but I still have those coffee skillz.

Hey, everybody,
Make sure you help your students fact-check the Google AI summaries?
Obviously, you can't give an assassination speech, assassination means you're not alive to give a speech. Also, Lincoln's wife was not assassinated.

One of the science teachers at my new school made me a crocheted donut! 🍩
So far, my colleagues at this school are much friendlier than other schools I’ve taught at.

My 11th graders are reading part of the 2019 graphic novel "They Called Us Enemy" about @georgetakei.bsky.social + Japanese internment camps.
The author bio talks about him acting in #StarTrek and becoming an influencer.
It's sooooooooo relevant to where we are today.

I think I’m gonna love this school year and my new students. 💛
My favorite part of this student’s intro: “What makes learning funner for me is when we can vibe together, talk and laugh together. I HATE a serious a** teacher.”
I think this is gonna be a great year. 😂

I’m trying not to cry while grading my students’ papers.
We read an article about the Salem Witch Trials in my 11th grade American Literature class.
They said: "I think in the old times, diversity was very scary."
It’s scary today, too, friend. And that breaks my heart.

Throwback to an old tweet from May 3, 2019:

I will never forget the time that Texas Governor Greg Abbott shared a story I wrote in late 2020.
Out of all the many crazy things that have happened while I've been a journalist, that was definitely a surreal moment.

If only I could tell the little girl who was fascinated by breaking news, who sat as close as she could to the TV to watch Dateline, that she would grow up to be a journalist + booth the 10 o’clock news. <3

This summer, I've been able to freelance for newspapers in two communities I care about a lot — Southeast Texas and the Pikes Peak region. Here's what I wrote for the Beaumont Enterprise and the @pikespeakbulletin.bsky.social. #journalismlife #LocalNewsMatters #supportjournalism #freelance

If you get arrested in Galveston County, you’re going to have to wear hot pink.

Behold the weirdly specific and unique insults that my students wrote on the whiteboard yesterday. 😜
8th graders are special. Lol.
Also, keep your teacher friends in your thoughts and send us good vibes as we head into winter break. ✨
