I try not to be the guy who studied abroad for a while and came back saying Ta and Cheers Mate but I had beans and tea for breakfast today. Very good.

I got to talk today to a student about her interest in becoming a teacher, and I entirely nailed the balance between affirming that she’d be great at it, on the one hand, and not putting any pressure on her, on the other

Ludicrously stereotypical Minnesotan weekend: kid introduced me to cross country skiing, I introduced her to smoked trout, Meg darned my snow pants; all at a Lutheran retreat at a non-sectarian camp

Quite pleased to be the parent who helps with middle school math homework BUT one does wonder if the other parent, who spent the afternoon organizing said middle schooler to contact her congressperson about the CFPB, might've been better suited to help CALCULATE SIMPLE INTEREST ON A LOAN

One perk of this gig: sometimes a parent of a student owns a candy factory and so you think you're just doing a conference but actually you get to be Willy Wonka for your family

I think you'd really enjoy SCHOOL PICTURES at Theatre Latte Da, even if you *aren't* a teacher who loves teaching because teaching is hilarious, but who also gets sad if you think about the big picture a lil too much.

Did you know that the end of each verse of Lord Dismiss Us With Your Blessing can be sung to the choral windup to the Battle Cry in Defying Gravity

Putting out the Karl signal @kmfaho.bsky.social - sixth grader just asked me What is philosophy, what do I say

A student I taught a few years ago emailed me, said she'd heard I like the song SOMEDAY from Disney's ZOMBIES, and would I like to elaborate because she likes it too. Here's how I responded.... (1/44)

No pop culture is going to give me a more concentrated burst of pleasure this year than the first 6 minutes of the Questlove documentary on SNL music.

Even "lesser" Hilary Mantel is so great

What's it like to raise a kid in the liberal protestant tradition?

Tonight I took a walk with the sixth grader, whose second semester schedule has her walking through The D Wing for the first time. She described it as a "thin space" 😂

Genuinely therapeutic to get to teach the Ode to Humanity from Antigone five times today.

Stressed?

Here's one idea: put on long underwear and scrubs and a poncey espresso hat, and walk a Catahoula Leopard Dog onto the middle of a beloved local artificial lake, and lie down for a moment while listening to a Joe Pera podcast.

Didn't help anything; helped me a little.

My kid likes Logan Huntsberger! Send help!

I have two students this year whose voices I had literally never heard before today

Christening the blue sky account with my first Mocking But Secretly Very Grateful post about my school's school lunch

It is ridiculous and frankly more than a lil offensive that it's not snowing at least two feet tonight

Let's go!
I am going to this training and if you are in Minneapolis and the surrounding areas, you ought to too. We protect and defend our neighbors.

proud that #mykid served as an usher at the final 11:00 service at our church

Have joked for years that our next dog will be named after an NPR podcast producer. But I am excited to announce that our next hypothetical dog will be Charles Entertainment Olsen Biebighauser. Please refer to him as Charles Entertainment, at a minimum.
