Mama to 4 (5 with new DIL!), overrun with cats, dogs, chickens. I teach chemistry and research the teaching and learning of chemistry with CER. I scroll and read/learn a lot. Any posts/reposts reflect my own opinion, no one else's. .. more

The more I research and learn, the more my first question is "what does (thing) look like to you?" Mentoring, support, advocacy, etc. What are you expecting to receive? Follow up questions: what do you get? What do you provide? 🤔

My husband is just fantastic at pictures. The monarchs haven't left yet. I need to print these pictures and hang them in my walls for peace. 🥰 🌱 #gardening #NTexas

Black men didn't do this. Hispanics didn't do this. WHITE PEOPLE did this, even if you and everyone you know didn't! We, collectively, are the majority, of all the damn things. It's our fault. Only we can fix it.

Fucking hell.

Stop telling Black and Brown people "I didn't do it, I voted for her!" Who gives a shit?! What are you doing now, besides wringing your hands, telling everyone that you're the "good one"? At the absolute fucking *least*, shut up! And read/listen/fucking LEARN!

Jfc. How many times can it be said until us white people fucking understand: sure, not all white people. But *too many* white people voted that they were okay with this! If it wasn't you, awesome, fucking scroll on, and then go talk to the fucking white people in your orbit that *did*.

Correction: Math. White America is 75% of the voting population. White people decide elections.

Correction, many Latinos consigned to this as well.

I'm so sorry that you are going through so much! Sending love and support from Denton. I went through a doc program with a family, and it's freaking tough. Even more so as you are keeping a job going, in Texas. 🫂

I had 8 at the highest count last year, so I'm just amazed at the numbers this year!

Fried green tomatoes, chow chow, and also salsa verde! My kids don't want me to ripen my fall tomatoes, they want salsa verde. As soon as I make some, they eat it the same day. 🤣

The monarchs are very happy with my flowers right now. I probably have 30+ enjoying my mystic spires salvia, mistflower, and agastache! #NTexas #gardening 🌱

I've learned so much since I've been teaching, it amazes me sometimes. ☺️

I'm sitting with 5# of okra right now. 😬 I'm going to pickle some of it, the rest I'll just chop and freeze for gumbos and stews for the next year.

I'm always concerned when I tell students my mental models for things. I try to preface it with "this isn't fully correct, but it's how I think about it", but I didn't think that particular point really lands with the students. 😬

The world is spinning out of control faster and faster, I'm surrounded by trauma I can't fix, and I'm trying to figure out how to be a functioning and empathetic partner, parent, teacher, friend, and human... I'mma go sit in my garden in the morning and breath. Until then... 🍸 and 📺.

I'm offended by the mere suggestion! (she says, as the to-do list piles up and deadlines get closer and closer 😬)

Dr. Rebecca Weber, Ph.D. (she/her) @rebeck82.bsky.social · 15d

Some of us do, but most of us don't. As a previous reply said, we get to sit back in "safety". "Well, they aren't going after us, so it doesn't matter. I'll be fine." 🤬 😭

Happy birthday to kiddo!

Dr. Rebecca Weber, Ph.D. (she/her) @rebeck82.bsky.social · 18d

With the husband, just supervised an 8 year old doing homework and writing an "essay"while teaching the 12 year old to make her favorite dinner. Two hours later, we haven't eaten yet and I'm exhausted, and the big one still needs to be picked up from evening band practice. 😭

I'm here for the academic drama!

Ooh. Hotel Rwanda. I suggest it to everyone, but can never, ever sit down and watch it again.

name a flick other than requiem for a dream that you will never watch again not because you think its trash but more because you just cant put yourself through it again

@notyournegro.blacksky.app This is the last one I saw about Jay. Apologies if you've been tagged in this already, or if it doesn't answer your question.

That's someone who's never taught a kid to make their favorite meal... repeatedly.

Lol, I feel the checkbook pain.

Dr. Rebecca Weber, Ph.D. (she/her) @rebeck82.bsky.social · Sep 19

And I'm going to stare at this post for several days and think about my life choices, so thank you for the motivation! 😂

Dr. Rebecca Weber, Ph.D. (she/her) @rebeck82.bsky.social · Sep 19

Nice! It's completely my intention to have the kids pick a day of the week and plan/make dinner, including adding ingredients to the shopping order list, etc, so they are not completely useless when it comes to feeding themselves when they move out.

You know what they say about good intentions.. 🤦‍♀️

Oh no!

My kid just wandered in the kitchen and complained about how often we have chicken. If you need me, I'll be throttling a child, after explaining to them the price of everything right now. 😂 😭
