Trader Joe's was completely out of eggs today. Whole Foods had them but they were low, explaining that they were having trouble sourcing them at high enough quality ("egg-zacting standards," per the cute sign). Is this what y'all signed us up for? #priceofeggs #groceryprices #hypocrisy

And on the eighth night, it was 2025. I do a character creation exercise with my students in which I interview them in character. I always ask them to share their character’s wisdom. Mine (tonight, anyway) is this: Love as hard as you can. It is (mostly) worth the cost. #happyhannukah #eighthnight

On the sixth night of Chanukah, I still spell it with a “C.” I am grateful to all my teachers and mentors, and for having friends who are equally nerdy about words, grammar, spelling, reading and writing in general. You know who you are. #happyhannukah #happychanukah #sixthnight
