I am interested in trying to protect my adult kids. I don’t know the first thing about emigration. Resources or places to start? Open to Italy, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, maybe Spain (I don’t know enough). No way in hell will I allow them to be drafted into this fool’s forces.

Today is a tough day. I lost mom years ago. I went no contact with my dad for his horrible views just before Thanksgiving. Both kiddos off at college. Sometimes, it just sucks having family, but not having family simultaneously. Not looking for sympathy, but commiserating w/ those in same position.

The state government setting us up for identity theft was not on my bingo card but here we are

You know it’s the end of the quarter when you get nasty messages from families whose kids complete work Friday night and you haven’t graded it over the weekend by Sunday evening! NOT ANSWERING.

To others grieving family that you have lost due to the rise of misinformation & hate, please know that it absolutely sucks & you are not alone. May we all make #newtraditions.

If I relayed what happened in my classroom today, it would get flagged as inappropriate content. Y’all, the kids are not ok & I’m exasperated.

Is there an organization (in Bmore) that collects gifts for kids that isn’t the “angel tree?” I want to support a good cause, but I don’t trust THAT organization. #charitablegiving #noreligiousextremism

Stop tryin to make “Balti” a thing. It’s Bawlmore or Bmore. “Balti” is giving phony DMV vibes. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk.

Sad but true statement in my class today: two 15 y.o. boys told me they plan on having kids at 17(!). When I raised the issue of daycare costs, one said, “that’s what my mom is for” adding she’ll bring the kid to her (3!) jobs. When I said “What if the girl doesn’t want the pregnancy?”, it was 1/
