I'm skeeting as much as I am because my sister just got married and my brother left the wedding in anger and my other sister is trying to have a baby and I have huge emotions, so I'm distracting myself. Anyone have any feelings they would like to share?

Replace Man City with the Milwaukee Brewers and this sums up the things important to me in life.

One of my least favorite things is only caring about the budget when the other side wants to do something. It either matters all the time or it doesn't. Pick a side.

Situations like these I believe show a huge amount of character. Best experience ever was getting hit by a 16 year old who was so apologetic, and I got to talk him through the process and be kind on one of his worst days.

After a long day of student interactions, I leave my office with the thought "I love every single one of them, even the ones that I hate."

US foreign aid is frozen so people aren't getting crucial medication! Keep up the fight against these actions by contacting Congress. If you're in DC or one of the 22 states in the lawsuit, also contact your Attorney General. For instructions, go to: tbfighter.link/contact-congress

I'm glad to know that public outcry still works in this messed up world. Keep being angry about the terrible things that will certainly happen over the next four years. And believe it really can affect change.

Feeling a bit of the sense of dread I had on election night. Anyone have any tips?

Is Roki Sasaki doing the baseball equivalent of a rose ceremony currently?

As difficult as some things working for a somewhat soulless for-profit non-state school, at least I don't work for an institution that secretly rates me based on how homophobic I am.

There's something so calming and homey about laying next to my wife as she snores.

And all the 13 year old males using axe body spray and spamming "that's what she said" in conversation were like "why do all the girls like him?"

If there is one thing in this country I believe in, it's the Republicans greatest weakness being their own members.

Finally saw Wicked, and as a straight white man, I thought "this isn't really for me" but I still liked it just fine.

Jimmy Carter is a good reminder that just because you aren't good at one thing, doesn't mean you are worthless. Just means you have to lose an election and go on to be one of the great philanthropists in a post-presidential life.

Wife: "Turns out, none of the fruit is on sale, but I'll get some anyway." New Years at our home is gonna be lit.

I saw someone say that one day the internet will just be porn AI bots spamming each other and I think that's beautiful.

Orange sticks are very mediocre 364 days or the year, but on December 25th, they are the finest thing on earth.

I have begun my Christmas tradition of listening to "A Christmas Carol" as read by Patrick Stewart. This quote by Jacob Marley rattles is my mind frequntly. "Mankind was my business. The common welfare was my business; charity, mercy, forbearance, and benevolence, were, all, my business."

This is a great joke, because not only does it require you to have in depth knowledge of who Pat McAfee is, it also calls back a meme from February of this year. Honestly, 10/10 joke.

I read "plants" as "patients for 0.2 seconds and this tweet horrified me.

Controversial opinion:while adapting a book or play that has enough material, making it into two parts isn't a cash grab; it's giving your story breathing room. Dune did this very well, IMO. What they added/changed fit very well with the themes of the book. I think Wicked deserves the extra time.

Confirmation bias is a hell of a drug. It's also the drug I use to rationalize students' poor performances, so I know I'm not immune. That, and sugar. Sugar is my favorite drug.

I've lost both of my grandmothers recently. After one of them died, my uncle(a DNP) lamented that he hadn't caught S/S of her metastatic cancer earlier. Evwntually, a thought came to his mind that his mom suffered so much less in the long run with a devastating diagnosis, and that it was a mercy.

My family interactions that I was dreading involved overt transportation and two hard r n words, so you could say I was right to have trepidation. But these degenerates can be avoided for some time now.

Today is a lovely day surrounded by those I love(immediate family). Saturday I may need to contract Ebola(wife's family).
