This is absolutely insane but doing a walk/run on the #Peloton app and listening to Mariana Fernandez's words helped me have some hope that this shit show won't last forever.

I am thankfully home today with a day off. I'm not feeling well. I'm thinking about how yesterday I told three separate crying kids I loved them. Twelve and thirteen year-old kids overwhelmed by life.
Elon Musk can't take that away.

At conferences yesterday, a few parents asked about my husband, the federal employee, and expressed concern and sympathy. I didn't tell them what he does---this town is that big and that small. Do you see why I don't want to move?

Good Morning, Bluesky Void. Did you know how exhausting conference weeks are for teachers? Long days. My parents are great and no conference is contentious, just draining.

I was going to go to NYC for my fiftieth birthday celebration with three of my best friends. They are all connected to the federal government, including my family. None of us felt confident enough about the future to do it. We just don't know. Cancelled trip.

I very much feel as if I am talking into a void here, which is okay. I live in low-key dread these days. I don't know how to talk about that in a way or place that feels safe.

The Chiefs won and I am happy. This is what it must feel like to not hate Tom Brady.

Is the morally responsible thing to get off Instagram and FB and TikTok and just be here? Sounds kinda dreary.

I sat in with my dad while he talked to the tele health social worker about my mom and her dementia. The social worker practically begged him to consider taking an anti-depressant. My dad is convinced he doesn't need it. It's maddening.

A local bar here in #ManhattanKansas is having a Jólabókaflóðið celebration tonight. We bring a wrapped book, pick up a different wrapped book, unwrap it, drink a warm beverage, and read. Is this real life? #booksky

We have had boxer mixes, Staffy mixes, and now we have this rescue that weighs maybe 20 pounds and is the biggest weirdo who also dislikes most people.
Does anybody else have a dog that acts like a cat?
