On the whole, Germany has learned the lessons of the Holocaust, whereas America has not. www.newsweek.com/americans-sh...

This is the real face of humanity ...

Washington, D.C. yesterday. "Shut down the Senate, Shut down the Senate." Chanted for hours. More massive #USprotests, ongoing. Sources here report, "Millions of people are getting ready as we speak to take this country back and save the USA. Their days are numbered. Stay tuned." #3E

Chest X-ray confirms I have walking pneumonia. 😫

I'm at urgent care with crackling, wheezing, unfillable lungs and a temp of 101, and I cannot tell you how grateful I am to have good health insurance, and how much I wish everyone had this, and how scary it is that powerful people are working to dismantle the field of medicine in our country.

Athena asked me, "Are cats colorblind?" and I searched the web to find that cats do not see the full range of colors that we do. This video was interesting.

Day 2 of staying home sick. 😜 My throat itches and has lots of gunk, but coughing hurts my entire head. In related news, I need more wasabi peas. Lots more wasabi peas.

We aren't your food delivery people, turkey, sorry.

This turkey was especially friendly.

Adventure Park was closed due to rain, unsurprisingly, but we met some wild turkeys.

Psychological effects of climate change in young people

Got up at 4am for a 5:15 MRI, and now I am having 2nd breakfast. 🥯☕😋

The number of times someone is about to put me on hold (again), and I've had to say, "OK, but I have to teach in a few minutes..."

God, I love k.d. lang. If I were gay and available, and I had more time on my hands and $ for travel... I would probably stalk her. Or something. music.amazon.com/albums/B004I...

Why, yes, I did just get done with my grading and lesson prep for tomorrow.

I emailed the parents of a student and told them their child really needs help practicing their times tables. They wrote me back, said they hadn't been aware of this, and called me their hero. 😭 I'm not crying, you're crying.

Athena is REALLY looking forward to the Dog Man movie. 🐕👮🏻‍♂️

I just wonder if there is an alternate universe where Kamala Harris is getting inaugurated tomorrow.

Someday, I would like to see a video of an astronaut, any astronaut, saying, "All the science, I don't understand, it's just my job five days a week." 😂 m.youtube.com/watch?v=g6hN...

I felt like a mime for the first half of the day, because I had lost my voice. It was fun to practice my acting skills! Students found it amusing. Later on, a colleague let me borrow her microphone and small speaker. (So grateful for my fellow teachers!)
