My flight home after almost a week in a different time zone was delayed by an hour. So we landed at 12:30 am instead of 11:30 pm.

Makes me mad that teachers don’t have the supplies they need to do their very important jobs. Makes me even more mad that Jeff Bezos profits from all the kind hearted folks buying things from teacher wish lists on Amazon.
Garbage system.

If and only if all goes well, I will get home 31 hours after I was originally supposed to. Of all the times to pack so carefully and that I had no extras…

After spending the afternoon handing out programs to strangers at graduation, I am once again asking for a polite form of address that is gender neutral. To be used with folks you don’t know and may never see again. How do you say yes ma’am/sir for someone when you don’t want to assume gender?

Was just reading a nauseating post on The Preamble Substack (highly recommended - the times are nauseating, not the writing) when I remembered Nauzene exists. Closest thing to a magic potion for unsettled stomach I’ve ever tried. I have a feeling I’ll be taking it more often in the future…
