It's wild that Texas has two of the country's most inaccessible senators. Both Cornyn and Cruz's mailboxes are always full or just is... busy? They never have public town halls. People think red states deserve our pain, but the lack of representation and voter oppression are the real issues.

Please remind my trash palate why dark chocolate is so good. I'm trying to appreciate a gifted fancy chocolate bar. IS IT THE TANNIN? Or something?

Look at how higher ed is bending the knee. I endorsed, pushed, and advocated for college and its wonders as an educator. This is how they betrayed us, and honestly, how they've always betrayed us as institutions. It's really all down to the staff, students, and communities to protect each other.
Students, be aware that you can’t depend on UNC’s administration to protect you from ICE. www.newsobserver.com/news/local/e...
UNC-Chapel Hill will ‘comply’ if ICE seeks students on campus, chancellor says
Schools and colleges are no longer considered “sensitive” spaces protected from immigration officials, under a new directive from the Department of Homeland Security.

I never could keep a single copy of Amulet in my classroom library to read for myself. It was always checked out! Now I'm slowly going through the series to soothe myself in these trying times. It reminds me of all the excited faces of my students. Children we need to fight for. Book #2 done!

I'm ready for BlueSky's alternative to Instagram, which has progressively worsened since being bought by Meta and its loser-in-chief. Yay, Flashes!

Things will warm up nicely this week--however, another Arctic air mass is headed our way again over the weekend. So far, temperatures track to fall into the mid-to-upper 20s at night for the first half of next week. Get ready to cover those plants again! #atxwx

Both X and Meta manipulate their algorithm to benefit Trump
X by pushing pro-Trump propaganda
Meta by suppressing all news and political content. The less someone follows the news, the more likely they are to support Trump

THIS-->"We must refuse to participate in a mass delusion. We must refuse to accept that the ignorance on display is a congenital condition rather than a choice. All of us should refuse to pretend that any of this is normal and that these voters are just woefully misunderstood..."
For the @nytimes.com I wrote about how Enough is Enough with the incumbent president and his cabinet of folly and let’s stop coddling Trump voters and be real clear-eyed about what lies ahead. www.nytimes.com/2024/11/17/o...

To suggest we should yield even a little to Trump’s odious politics is unacceptable. Even if we did, it would never be enough.
