last night in san francisco I came across this mural, new to me if not in fact new. it stopped me in my tracks - as art should. #wallwednesday #photography #murals #babyface #lawenforcement

Ange In or Ange Out — is there an official time for the shoe dropping/announcement? the suspense is torture #coys

this guy needs to read some Stanislaw Lem, stat

i grilled for the first time of the season on the day that the premier league played its last games beginnings and endings, man. navigating the complex ups and downs

yellow cards blooming like daffodils

Hard to imagine a bigger self-inflicted wound. The envy of the world brought to ruin.

Jewish lives and Zionist lives are not more valuable or important than Palestinian lives and until every single Palestinian death is treated by all of us the way that the DC shooting victims are, the genocide will not end.

The biggest mistake I see in discussions of trans people's healthcare is the idea that hormones and the like are some special service just for us when really all kinds of people access the same health care for all kinds of reasons but they are *withheld* from us because we are trans

I hope for the best for this young man and his family. He has been wounded & family members killed. Whatever you can spare is valuable to him. gogetfunding.com/help-muhamma...

nearly every single student I work with in special education got to my classroom via some sort of contentious legal path — it is exceptionally rare that a school district chooses to direct high level interventions towards students w/ great need with no watchdog, I fear what’s coming

Mike Johnson always looks to me as though he’s trying to release his farts very quietly

husband, reading Northanger Abbey: god! I would *hate* to have some Victorian man pursuing ME

just went out with friends, one of whom uses ChatGPT & at least she gave me a guilty look every time she mentioned it it’s a start I guess

a day off means time to hang out on the porch with this guy #dogs #photography #theporch #3dayweekends #ghosteye

as much as it pains me to acknowledge, my inability to watch spurs live right now spares me from having to watch reguilon play and I’m grateful

Thank you to the ninth grader who emailed me today and closed with the following: “P.S. Shakespeare seems to be very interesting and unique in all aspects. Excited to get started.” We looked at rhyme scheme, labeling iambic pentameter, and the prologue to #RomeoAndJuliet today!

Every Democrat supporting censorship bills like KOSA and the repeal of Section 230 is actively helping carry out Project 2025’s vision of erasing trans people and abortion information from the Internet. Our health care is being taken away. Our existence is criminalized. Democrats are helping do it

I find this so moving and brave, not to mention so thoughtfully expressed. if I were associated with his school I’d feel pride in such a student

This is the most dystopian thing I have ever heard and it’s had some stiff competition lately.

today we talked about Banksy lots of reactions! fascination, amusement at the clever pranks — glee seeing the painting get sucked into the embedded shredding device in the frame, etc. one kid is silent until nearly the end of class and then announces “i think it’s ANNOYING we never see his FACE”

you know the kinds of novels that explore friendships within a small group of ppl at great length, and how there’s always one of the 3 or 4 who’s kind of an asshole but somehow lovable despite the button pushing? yeah. no. you don’t actually have to be friends with that guy

my school has been preparing to welcome guests from the Holocaust Story Project next week, and so relatedly, I have been reading selections from Art Spiegelman’s MAUS with one of my English classes some of the panels just freeze my heart part of what is so powerful about it as a story is..

one of my favorite photos of the past — something about the shadow of the lamppost gives me particular pleasure #wallwednesday #photography #streetlamp #shadows #unjourunephoto

to be fair, Murderbot’s lack of “sex-related parts” is actually a big plot point in the books — it itself is revolted by any possible confusion on that score when I saw the casting my one big concern was that they leaned pretty hard into making it look male, which it isn’t!
