Watching my daughter enter the theatre world and and seeing her find roles to want to play; I am eternally grateful that directors are willing to cast girls in male presenting roles because it opens up so much for young performers… so different from when I grew up.

I’m having a moment where I’m not sure if it’s my chronic illness or if I’m getting sick…. But then I’m pretty sure I’m getting sick.

Reading #107days and I’m only 3 pages in and already stressed and frustrated for Kamala.

My favorite thing about rewatching Grey’s Anatomy is how everyone’s kids are MIA all the time. Who is watching everyone’s children?

9 days left of school. My principal is so toxic that my Sunday scaries are weekly baby panic attacks. Is it summer yet?

It’s taking every ounce of my willpower to finish this grad program, my motivation is so low, the country is in shambles, my mental health is a mess, and I care way too much about a job that doesn’t care about its teachers. All I want is to watch Grey’s Anatomy and read silly romance novels 🫠

Fought a cold all weekend, depression and anxiety hit hard, tried to work on a paper for my last semester of my grad program but mostly avoided it by disassociating through watching Schmigadoon. This pretty much sums up life right now.

I love hearing my kid read. It’s magical. But her deciding that she wants to read 5 chapters of Baby Sitter’s Club Little Sister Graphic Novel after I’ve ALREADY read her 3 chapters of the novel were reading at 9pm feels like a hostage situation.

California MS ELA teachers, what curriculums do you like? Our school doesn’t have one and we (teachers) are considering asking for one. We are hoping for a decent one that we can use in conjunction with novel studies. TIA #edusky

It’s exhausting to feel like I have to fight against the coup that’s happening in our country, but also fight to get my school admin to just listen to the teachers, and also fight to get kids to listen to the lessons. I’m so tired all the time. #edusky

I just want to deactivate my Bird account, but every time I go to do that I find another account on there that I’m like, “Oh, I need to go find you on Bluesky.” And so I put it off another day 😑

Things I should be doing: dishes, laundry. What I’m actually doing: reading another romance novel. #booksky

My husband wanted to see what my romance books were all about, so I had him read an excerpt from Ali Hazelwood’s Deep End… and the man was too stunned to speak #booksky #romancesky

Depression is hitting real hard RN, just woke up from a 3 hour nap. Yay….

Day 5 of cat. She will now not let us pet her. She barely tolerates my presence. I think things may be getting worse. Child is giving up hope. Cat experts, send help. #catsofbluesky

Trying to figure out how to balance being informed about the country’s dumpster fire but not overwhelmed… currently my chest just wants to explode all the time. I hate it here.

Cat chronicles day 4… cat has stayed in the same spot. Every day. She has allowed us to pet her. But that is all. She explores slightly at night. This might be an “I shall merely exist with you” cat, much to my 7yo’s great disappointment.

Unrelated to my cat journey…. My tiny, joyful, resistance continues in the form of reading, buying, and borrowing romance and smut… and I couldn’t be happier. My current read read is a delight and a great distraction from the dumpster fire world… and my grad paper. #booksky

Also, all are cats super nocturnal? This one is super chill (which I love, but 7yo is panicking that the cat doesn’t love her) because cat wants to sleep all day and only wants to mildly explore at night. Help! We’re new!

Having a cat for 3 days has taught me my child REALLY doesn’t know how to be quiet and calm at home.

For the 79% of heterosexual married women whose legal married name doesn’t match your birth certificate or passport, get ready to have your voting rights frozen.

Yes, read that again.

No, that is not hyperbole.

Act now.
“If a married woman hasn’t paid $130 to update her passport —assuming she has one, which only about half of Americans do— she may not be able to vote in the next election if the SAVE Act becomes law,” @wendyweiser.bsky.social tells Glamour
The SAVE Act Could Stop Millions of Women From Voting. Here’s What You Need to Know
The bill would make it harder for women, people of color, young voters, and other marginalized groups to register to vote.

Odd question, but are there any instructional designers on here that would be willing to review my masters project for me? All I’d need is for you to go through my learning object and complete a google form eval. Please and thank you! #instructionaldesign #IDT

I’m at the stage of exhaustion where I don’t even have it in me to do proper classroom management, the kids don’t care, I’m just wiped… I know I need to do better but it’s just so hard when the world is a dumpster fire. #edusky

Also, I know I need to find and frequent independent and second hand book stores, but I’m still beyond pissed that my local Barnes and Noble recently closed so Hobby Lobby could come in 😑 #booksky
