I’m really sick of the state of the USA right now. Disgusted is a better word. I don’t feel like I can do much… but I can continue to show my students that I care and support them.

The US Department of Education press releases look like fucking The Onion articles.
“Book ban hoax”
“So called”
Fuck off w/this shit.

Dog Man movie with my son today!

One of our theaters has two regular seats in the back row (in addition to the reserved handicap). We always choose this (more room from other rows, rarely anyone sitting next to or in front of, no one possibly behind).

Just really leaning into my newfound Pokemon obsession and spending my Friday night with an audiobook and organizing a Stellar Crown binder

If you need some joy, might I recommend a box of yellow cake mix, a can of pie filling of your choosing, one egg, and half a cup of better - mix it all together and pop it in the oven for as long as the box says, and you have a yummy, fruity cake.
Not pretty, but is tasty! Works w/gluten free too

When you go to the USA Department of Education website, the “learn about 504” section no longer exists.

A friend sent me this good reminder today. ⬇️

I’m trying to figure out what has been causing me some new stomach issues (other than increased stress). I’m wondering if the culprit is gluten, so I’m giving that a rest for awhile. Enter: chickpea pasta (plus turkey bacon, peas, Parmesan)

This meal 😍😍😍
Ground turkey, sweet potato, black beans, rice, green pepper, cucumbers, and guacamole

Cozy hobby life continues - what else is there to do when you’re actively working to avoid the 🍊 news and it is too cold to be outside?

It’s a challenge to be an empathetic person in this current world. Hoping cozy hobbies can help retain some of my sanity. 😅
