Sometimes we do things just because we're family.
Teacher hack to love your job: teach kids, wait like 8 years, get invitation to their wedding, attend said wedding, have the absolute best time with the 20-something versions of them and their friends who are the kids you knew as juniors. Repeat every few years to sustain you until retirement.

Listen, I'm on board with the idea of schools who don't charge students to attend in exchange for a reasonable amount of work on campus. But College of the Ozarks, you're wild for this one.

A hell hole. Look at how busy and scary that metro station is. And we had to walk one whole well maintained, safe, clean block from that GW arch to find an iced coffee!

This tiny baby who has done things her way since day one is TWENTY WHOLE YEARS old today.
I am the parent of a 20-something and I still have no idea what I'm doing except paying for her Shirley Temples.

If you ever see a green jumpsuit, just know that I own it, want to own it or have previously owned it. It calls to me and I must give it a home.

This is a VERY DIFFERENT STORY than the version I got today when Adrian asked for help with next year's UMKC 6 year med school program application because "my dad was in the hospital recently and it changed some things for me."
What an amazing human.

Another meet, another PR, another JV win that would have placed in varsity. (I love him but I still hate outside sports.)

Cmon SEC. At least pretend you care about this a little. "Is is"? And that gymnast? Whose face is essential to this photo composition? Not a Mizzou athlete. Not an SEC athlete. It's Minnesota's Mya Hooten who is awesome & rotated as an individual with MU but is not heading to a championship.
![Screenshot of SECNetowrk's IG post captioned "THE TIGERS ARE NATTY BOUND" with a headline "Mizzou is is [sic] heading to its first national championship in program history" over a photo of team members mostly facing away from the camera. The one face facing the camera is of Minnesota gymnast Mya Hooten.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ux2qyv6bcuck6bzrkcg6rvqb/bafkreihhk4y6ixkc3uaftrrhhnb5hszok7sokebx7coiubenc63twmf66q@jpeg)

Literally didn't even realize how semifinal two ended because all I did the last two rotations was watch beam scores to make sure Helen's score stood and made her the first Mizzou natty champ ever.

The best adulting tip: Always fill out the class action lawsuit forms. Got free money showed up while I was voting just now. And not in an Elon Musk way.

Every year I give students a doc of curated sources about Emmett Till's legacy in the 21st century. We use it for APUSH content and English skill practice.
Today I was checking the links to swap out any dead ones. I'm actually keeping this one. Ripe for analysis.

I bought this laptop sticker for my daughter a few years ago and every time I see it I'm so mad I didn't buy one for myself too. It's perfect.

I WANT to love it. I will hate it. It is very very Mizzou (not just gym, like as an alum, yes, this is the quintessential Mizzou vibe). But ✨ diamond boobs. ✨

Wild to me that this, the entire 2023 level 10 team at a gym you've never heard of in a city you've never been to with no pit, a sprinkler of the metal roof in lieu of AC, and a homemade single rail bar, all now compete collegiately all over the country.
So unbelievably proud of these fools.

Hi, hello, hey, so if THIS UWO team could stick around for the post season that'd be really great for my blood pressure. Thanks.

New worst camera angle just dropped. Low bar? Don't know her. High bar? Ok, but literally only the bar. (Also that's not a pic of Zoe).
Doing great, WIAC.
