Had a confusing conversation with 7yo about not having anyone to send a valentines card to and reassuring them they could send it to anyone they loved. Turns out they had it mixed up with father's day so looks like grandpa and/or great uncle are getting the valentines card

Lol yes, so many questions I can't answer, but also don't just frame Gay in terms of marriage when you get asked by your kids...
always so funny to me when people are like “how am I supposed to explain Gay to my kids?” my kid asks me way harder shit all the time. “why did they build the road this way? why are some people bad?” I don’t know. please ask me about Gay

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

CNN: DHS officials have come to FEMA staff and told them to limit the use of the word ice…they are worried that by posting something like, watch out for the ice, that it's going to become a meme….

For some reason I just remembered that when I was a student I went to a debate between the presidents of the christian union and the debating society called 'this house believes that God exists' and how far away from this debate and both these people I would stay these days 🤣

Received official notice today that my employer will be withholding 100% of pay for the next three weeks, to myself and all other members of @sheffielducu.bsky.social who refuse (as is our legal right, and our solidaristic duty) to reschedule classes cancelled due to strike action. Outrageous.
Well that’s me locked out. No pay for the foreseeable future, all because I refuse to reschedule lost teaching, for which I have already lost pay as part of the strike. Please donate to support @sheffielducu.bsky.social members like me at www.gofundme.com/f/heubvb-sup...
