Our Tuesday sunrise from here in KS was similarly beautiful!

So jealous! I tried a 8s exposure tonight to see if it would pick up anything, but nada here. Only a little color from the street lamp a block-ish over lol. Some day...

Not sure if anyone I know has... but since we are near the KS one, figured I'd share.

And either way, can you please share this request? 🙏

The only cool thing that came out of that Sunday night game was a scorigami (40-40) tie.

This is great! I used to teach F451 (a different grade level uses it for now, I believe) but I still do Animal Farm later in the year with 9th, so I'm looking at ways to tie in similar themes with misinformation/censorship. #literacies

Same! I never post anything I wouldn't defend.. but I also know that doesn't mean I'm safe.

Thank you for this! My dept is currently amazing. However, in a small town, parents often turn to social media & direct complaints to admin before speaking to the teachers or board. #literacies W/ recent events, complaints about text/topics in class have come up, even with approved texts.

A5: I've never done this b4 so hopefully not stepping on toes. As a public ed teacher, I was excited to see this topic addressed, yet for this topical reason, I was afraid to chime in because of what someone might do if they see my posts then try to target my job/district/curriculum. #literacies

As a Kansan, and obviously I speak for all Kansans, I am all for this. Transas forever.

I know teaching is hard.. but it's extra disheartening when you spend time grading essays and giving feedback just to realize SEVERAL students cheated (from one another or AI). My last week was already tough, so this icing on the cake is really getting to me..

That poptart as a geotagged location is hilarious and now adds to the list of reasons I follow this acct anyway... Ha..

Note to self: Before returning student papers via Google docs, I need to turn off notifications for resolving comments or edit next time.
I'm glad they are working on revisions but the notifications are... a lot... Oops.

It is interesting to me that, while I was trying to search through my own posts on fb (like enter a keyword, sort by post by me/my friends, by year, etc) that you can no longer search/sort via posts at all. Interesting....

I am so jealous of those just north of us (I'm in KS). Even with camera+longer exposure, it's been storming and cloudy here, so no chance.. 😔

I want to see this so damn bad... Someday...

Gotta admit, starting To Kill A Mockingbird (freshmen) and Night (sophomores) this week w/ my students has been a trip. Important, but... not a great trip. Tough.

Our pug is deaf now and the pit/mastiff has been asleep and it didn't wake him so, fingers crossed lol

We have someone in town who keeps setting off mortar shell fireworks randomly, once or twice a week, from 10pm-2am..Just.. Because... It's the worst. 😑

Adjusted for inflation Spirited Away cost $22 million to make. The Triplets of Belleville cost $16.5 million, Cartoon Saloon's Wolfwalkers cost $14.28 million, and Oscar winner Flow cost only $4 million. These critically acclaimed, made by real people films, cost less than this pile of actual vomit.
