Today is a good fay for an intro…
Lifelong teacher and content developer, now at Microsoft.
I no longer discuss politics, but plenty of #GoBadgers trash talk, puppy picks, and self-improvement quotes.
I’m here for the community and friends.
If I don’t follow, it’s me not you! Cheers!

This morning I’m reminded of a line from ‘Touch of Grey’…
I will get by, I will survive.

You will to.
I’m taking Cal Newport’s advice and going analog. More books, less media.

I need to work on myself before I can work on the world.

Be kind to each other and keeping fighting.

........ tell everyone you know to get their election news from bluesky

i can guarantee that none of our team members will be sitting with a presidential candidate and giving them direct access to control what you see online
Elon Musk plans to spend election night with Donald Trump, giving the former president direct access to the person controlling X, a key information platform, on what could be a chaotic evening.
Musk to Spend Election Night With Trump at Mar-a-Lago
Elon Musk has spent $119 million on a super PAC supporting Donald Trump and held events on his behalf. But his ownership of X is especially valuable.

I am voting for everyone but myself. I’ll be fine either way. Many won’t. Take the time and think about those who need your vote most🗽

If you are in the US, please vote! Even if you aren’t in a swing state, the down ballot races and initiatives matter!

I have Put options on DJT.
If DJT goes to zero by Ignite, I’m buying a round!

Our son is very much in to politics (poor sweet child). So we are taking him to the polls. I haven’t voted in person for 2 decades. Since it will probably be raining, I have my “lots of people died so we can stand in the rain and vote so suck it up” speech ready.

Coincidence? I think not…
Remember, Remember the 5th of November.
