This is an article of mine from last year, for what it’s worth.
Man oh man have I’ve been driving through Massachusetts a lot lately. Between Wellesley’s 150th celebration, taking Maya back-and-forth to school, and catching as many of her field hockey games as I could, I am 495‘d out!
And then the poodle. I stared right at that poodle for a while.
(I hope the valuation and the crazy pictures would be part of the argument too.)
Fun warmup summing to 20 that’s sure to spark debate… #iteachmath

Next one is this Saturday. You can turn in your guns - no questions asked - in exchange for gift cards. They’re giving away gun safes too. Find your local buyback event below.

Pennsylvania has an important Supreme Court race coming up on Tuesday, November 4. If you live in the Keystone State, or know someone who does, vote YES to retain three justices who will protect your fundamental rights and freedoms.

"I DON'T NEED YOU TO FUCKING REWRITE WHAT I'VE JUST WRITTEN!"
Don’t mind me, I’m just deeply involved in SMP8 in a hotel bathroom in Framingham, Mass after midnight.
lol how’d I miss the flying saucers?

But then in some rows, I haven’t yet found anything that varies?!
This hotel bathroom wallpaper has me contemplating patterns. Or not patterns? cc @triangleman.bsky.social Is it or not? #tmwyk

😡 The Trump administration’s Dept of Ed is teaming up with extremist groups to force a partisan, "patriotic" curriculum into our schools.
