My 19yo is home from college for the weekend.

In the last half hour, I've heard stories about how she almost choked trying to eat an entire bread stick at once, how she almost got run over, how she fell doing something silly but "it's okay, Mom, I'm fine".

The new rule is one story per day.

I forgot my Threads password and apparently the email on it no longer exists, so I guess I will be more active here!

This makes me so sad.

My trans students deserve better from their country.
Donald Trump has just released a national under 18 trans care ban executive order. I am working through specifically how it tries to do this, and will live tweet here section by section as I read through it.

It is not yet on the website, but has been released via press release.

I guess I need to redo my budget so I can keep more food stocked in my classroom for hungry kids.
Children are lazy and should start picking berries to pay for their school lunches is a take.
BROWN: Would you support getting rid of school lunch for vulnerable kids and getting rid of childhood cancer research?

REP. MCCORMICK: Philanthropy is where you get most of your money for childhood cancer research. When you talk about school lunches, hey, I worked my way through high school.

Yesterday, beautiful purple lantana blooming. Today, inches of snow.

The dogs are not happy.

What would this bill look like in practice? Expanded mass detention, a spike in racial profiling, and a huge diversion of taxpayer dollars and law enforcement resources.

Howdy! I have migrated from Threads (and formerly twitter) to be amongst my political and romance-loving friends.
