Lost my buddy, my Boston Terrier, a year ago tomorrow. She was there when I was hospitalized, when my Dad died…my grad school study buddy, my sermon proofreader, my virtual school teacher’s aide❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹 RIP ButtButt

Is the only reason the Raiders are playing good today is because they don’t wanna get embarrassed in front of the newly minted 2025 WNBA champion Aces who are in the building?

I would.
But male teachers in general are in the minority…
Add that Black men make slightly less than 2% of all educators so…🤷🏾‍♀️

This is amazing. I laughed out loud www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

As 32-year-old Rich points out, though, "it's not like using ChatGPT guarantees success".
When he met someone in a bar one Friday night and swapped social media handles, he asked AI what his next move should be.
ChatGPT discerned that sending an initial message on Monday midmorning would set the right pace. "Then it gave me some options for what the message could be," says Rich.
"Keep it light, warm, and low-stakes so it reads as genuine interest without urgency," the bot advised. "Something like: Hey Sarah, still laughing about [tiny shared moment/reference if you've got one] - good to meet you!" Rich went back and forth with ChatGPT until he felt they'd hit upon exactly the right message ("Hey Sarah, it was lovely to meet you") but sadly she never replied, he says. "It's been two weeks now."

Teenagers are annoying.
Why do y’all birth them?
Why do I teach them?
Just saw a teenage boy getting an attitude with his momma in a parking lot… and I could feel my own momma’s invisible hand grabbing me by the collar IF I EVER THOUGHT TO TALK TO HER LIKE THAT.🤦🏾‍♀️

My pastor, an Eagles fan, just made a public announcement/apology to the few Giants fans in the congregation.🤣🤣🤣

Because it’s ALWAYS football on Sundays

First Sunday in a while where I need not wear green to church.

I immediately pushed Thursday night out of my memory. So much so that Friday morning, my coworker came in to grump and I was like “huh”? Then laughed and said I refuse to remember!🤣🤣🤣 #GoBirds

But now I need to think about my clothes😮‍💨

Internet/incel/redpill slang for a “hoe”…
Look at the numbers upside down on a calculator.

This unwell man, who was President of the United States, is trying to rewrite history.

Nice try, Don. Biden wasn’t president on January 6, 2021. I would say even his own voters can’t be this gullible, but…

Ah. That’s why folks barging in during my prep pisses me off so bad. When burn out makes you forget the word #introvert.

Introverts are so misunderstood. I’m not shy or quiet. I just need to be alone every once in a while to recharge bc being social can be draining af
