I came in to work grumpy this morning because it’s a long week and parent teacher conferences start tonight.

My mood quickly changed when I came in to all of these notes from students on my door saying they appreciate me and love learning science with me. Now I’m 😭

Post it notes covering my door with notes from students written on them

Dolly Parton has been a good person all her life. She does so many kind things for people. Compare that to someone like JK Rowling who wakes up every day and decides to be an absolute asshole.

My birthday is in two weeks! All I want is $1000 to pay my bills for the month and take myself on a little spa day. Help me welcome another year in relaxation.

Installing someone like Bari Weiss as the head of a major news organization isn’t even about profit or longevity. In effect it’s about continuing to shrink the traditional news industry smaller and smaller and weaker and weaker and less and less journalism based until it ceases to exist

Right!?! I guess there are ones that will show only correct answers or will run up the points.

Wikipedia also taught me that the ghostwriter, Andrew Niederman, also wrote The Devil’s Advocate. Who knew? Lol he has written over 70 books as VC Andrews. That’s just mind blowing to me.

I recently got a random tote bag of VC Andrews books for free that someone was giving away. I was just looking up the order that they should be read and I was truly shocked how many books there are. 2 in 2024 alone 😂

Ok, so when I was a kid I read the first 5 Flowers in the Attic books. I knew the name “VC Andrews” was still being used but I really had no idea just how many books have come out since that woman died 😭 like multiple books a year
