My dad spent my youth threatening to kick me out of the house and cut me off financially and warned me that God would punish me. I missed out on so many wonderful possibilities because of that fear.

Meanwhile, dad was having multiple affairs because Mom was disabled and not fun anymore.

I was raised a mountain farm conservative and taught to honor the Constitution and Rule of Law.

I currently find myself the target of name calling and insults by modern conservatives because I stood up for the Constitution and Rule of Law in supporting today's protests.

House and Senate parliamentarians should be able to censure members for lying to the American people.

Change my mind.

What a person says and does when they believe they are not being watched is the truest reflection of who they really are. People have been targeted and fired for less than this within the last six months..

I know this is a public platform, but I feel safer here than almost anywhere else at this point. I've deleted all my X profiles after my feed began turning into a depressing, angry, bitter stream of falsehoods and I pretty much only use Facebook for the people who aren't here.

May I ask what your musical background is? Orchestra, choir, etc?

What specifically makes wind band music so bad? I'm curious.

First Suite. The Chaconne alone is a gem, especially the inverted section. The entirety of the work riffing on the theme? Beautiful.

2nd Suite is also worthy of praise, but 1st Suite is in a class by itself.

I'm still pissed that we let them score.

One person said "We all go to different churches for a reason; why would we want to do that?"

I don't think they bought in on what they're allegedly selling.

Several churches in my town are gathering today for an interfaith Celebration of Life for a certain celebrity.

I mentioned "what if we got together, pooled our resources, and bought and cancelled medical debt?" and got laughed out of the room.

Hey #YouTube, how about requiring content creators to identify AI-assisted or AI-generated content? Human authors don't mention #mechanicalprecision every four sentences. Human readers don't say "number" every time a sentence ends with the word "no."

For those of us who process things through open discussion and dialogue, this is not a fun timeline to exist in.

Ed Dept has pulled funding for programs in eight states aimed at supporting students who have hearing & vision loss. They got caught in Trump admin’s attacks on DEI, with Ed Dept spokesperson citing concerns about “divisive concepts” and “fairness” in acknowledging decision to withhold the funding.

Been too long. Going to try to shift to doing more over here. Again.

If a student loses education services because they move, that's cruelty.

If a person loses the medical care because they move, that's cruelty.

If a couple's status is penalized because they move, that's cruelty.

Fourteen years of teaching middle school did not prepare me at all for having a teenage daughter. Hoo boy.

I thought I was going to a short Imposition of Ashes service this morning and ended up attending a full length Mass. I actually really enjoyed it and was able to keep up with most of the liturgy even with my UMC high church experience.

Ever have a private lesson that makes you want to run through a wall? My euphonium student just came in and nailed the week's assignment. His jury is going to be funktastic.

It's #TMEA week! So much to look forward to in San Antonio.

The only thing I'm not looking forward to is explaining that my school (Austin College) isn't a community college and isn't in Austin. Repeatedly.
