I grew up around addicts of all kinds. If there is one thing I’ve learned, addiction is a disease. It doesn’t make you a bad person. Does going after someone with a disease for political gain make you feel good? Hegseth should not be SECDEF, but for other reasons not attached to alcoholism.

Dems can’t pass the PRESS Act and protect the public's right to know but they found time for a drone bill that makes it easier for cops to harass journalists.

I really wish Task and Purpose would hurry up and get on Bluesky. I really miss them since deleting all my Meta accounts.

Am I bad for enjoying the reaction I get from some people when I say I’m taking a Masters in Teaching course on CRT and don’t tell them it stands for Culturally Responsive Teaching? Either way, I get the feeling these same people would still be outraged. #edusky

Last couple of papers due prior to break are almost completed. One more week and then a nice little break before the next round of classes and full time student teaching. #edusky
