My 7th grade stint as an Auburn fan while we lived in Montgomery is coming out tonight

Now that the school musical is over, I can shift my focus to my other great love: college basketball. Bring on conference tournaments!

You won't be any better at fighting what's coming if you burn yourself out and spend all your time feeling bleak and hopeless, and the people telling you that it's all despair now probably don't have anyone's best interest at heart.

Yes the world is on fire but today was the first day of a new semester with new students and they were all delightful and I left the building today happy and sometimes teaching really is the best job on earth

Public school on a Friday night before winter break:
Admin supervising
Coaches coaching
Band directors directing
Athletic trainers fixing
Journalism teachers producing
Teachers keeping book, announcing, running scoreboard

Miss me with the “teachers live for breaks” narratives

I can't remember the last time I taught an English class--I think 2014? I've been full-time journalism since, yet I still had binders full of lesson plans for the various English classes I taught. Yesterday I threw away all those English lesson plans. It feels...sad. Freeing. And tempting fate.

Thanksgiving baking pro tip: when melting a Toblerone in the microwave for cheesecake drizzle, ensure all foil has been removed.

ALL. FOIL.

A bit of a nostalgic, bittersweet morning--read Entertainment Weekly's Gilmore Girls special issue on my iPad, via Apple News.

Sweet because I'm in the middle of a rewatch and love the stories; bitter/sad because I subscribed to EW for YEARS and loved issues like this one showing up in my mailbox.

Today was the day I played the Thanksgiving song for my classes and the last class of the day said “don’t ever show this to another class again” and I replied “oh I’m showing it every November until I retire” and I really kinda love that about myself

The Eras movie was thoroughly enjoyable even though I went into it with the attitude of a fandom/subculture researcher. I even almost sang along a couple of times

I’m here now, phasing out the other place and looking for good follows.

Movies, teaching, politics, deconstructing/reconstructing religion suggestions welcome
