Hi! I'm Shelby. I'm a loud weirdo who talks about living with ADHD, math and math ed, random fun things that other people post, geeky things, and convos with my kiddo (TT). Doing my best to be kind for however long I'm on this blue dot in a vast galaxy.

This is Winston. He's a spoiled little baby.

A year ago, I got to fulfill a dream and presented my first ever Ignite talk at the @nctm.org annual conference. I can't wait to see what the speakers in this year's line-up have in store for us!

Here's a link in case you weren't able to see it last year: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hyba...

Also, a lot of the Chinese, Vietnamese, and Thai restaurants are phenomenal. Far better than anything I've managed to find in Massachusetts.

Today, masked agents (I assume to be BP or ICE agents from the badge) threw tear gas canisters toward civilians because they were blocked in traffic and were heckeled at

"Do you want to vent or problem solve?" My bestie asks me this with genuine intention, so hubs and I started using it and it helps so much. Because sometimes I want to talk through something and get a fresh perspective, and sometimes I just wanna dragon rage and burn things and be validated.

On the one hand, just got married this past weekend.

On the other hand, just got laid off today.

Bad time to be job hunting, especially in education. I'm not open to relocating at this time, but if you know local roles or fully remote roles, lemme know!

A student asked me why division, addition, multiplication, and subtraction all have different names for their answers. I love talking to kids because they are so curious and have great questions.

Also bullshit that they made free distribution cards only available with purchase.

Are we going to talk about the fact that we have a clear pattern of ICE taking children as hostages here in Massachusetts, #mapoli, or are we just going to continue to yammer about how we support public safety?

Because this isn’t safe at all.

Conrad 4 Congress @conrad4congress.bsky.social · Aug 31

I’m Conrad Cable, a first-generation farmer from Farmerville, and I’m running for Congress to take on Speaker Mike Johnson in 2026. This campaign isn’t fueled by corporate dollars — it’s powered by everyday people who are tired of being left behind.
