Parents, please do not write your kid’s essays/do their homework for them.
It does so much damage to them that far outweighs any grade boost you may give them.

The boys came with me to campus today. After we went to the new Great Council State Park then stopped for a bit of ice cream and The Dairy Station in Xenia.
The #museum was really cool and kept the boys’ attention for over an hour.

Was raking & this shoot was on the ground. It popped up fast recently & something knocked it over.
It’s the 1st shoot I’ve tasted since planting a few years ago & was 1 of the tastiest stalks of asparagus I’ve ever eaten. Looking forward to getting to harvest some more this year.

If folks think things are expensive now, just wait until this administration gets done privatizing everything.

put garlic cloves in back in November & covered them for winter.
When we got the warm up last week I uncovered them.
A week later they are pushing green all around.

A country isn’t fascist until it is.
A quick #read that looks at examples of #fascist rule, how it came about, and how it can be guarded against (mostly the opposite of what we’re currently doing in US at the moment.)
Highly recommend

Another easy way to speak out against SB 1 and HB6.
This has a form letter with the main points in opposition that you can edit and it sends it to your state rep and the governor for you.

Oppose Bill to Censor Ohio's Colleges and Universities - PEN America
S.B. 1/H.B. 6 would impose a complete ban on diversity, equity, and inclusion offices and initiatives, one so broadly written it could be used to silence virtually any program or idea on campus.

Not that he isn’t constantly giving examples about how awful a human he is, but for him to spend years praising and excusing the evil of #Putin and then turn around today and call #Zelenski a tyrant tells you nearly everything one needs to know about how terrible he is. #despicable.

Anyone #teaching for the last couple years has likely been struggling with navigating #AI & its impact on the #classroom.
I have.
The more I work through it the more I have started to lean into it. The conversation is reminiscent of the Wikipedia crisis over a decade ago, but amplified.

We got enough of the tomato starts to separate and reset in their own dirt, so I showed Sam the ropes on seedling transplanting tonight.

I’ve been #reading a chapter or 2 out of the Lemony Snicket series to the boys most nights for the last couple years.
We finished the series tonight and it was a great, funny, fun story we really enjoyed together & I recommend sharing the experience with your kids in the 6-10 range. #lemonysnicket

The boys were very excited to see them start and Sam was at the ready to hit down in the notebook the latest progress.
