I realized today that I don't have any hobbies. I go to work, I come home, and that's about it. I used to be fun. Now, I'm too tired from teaching to be fun anymore.
How's everyone doing? I didn't think this would be what my dystopian nightmare would be like so I'm a little stressed. #thefalloftheusa #fascistamericaisweird
Being a teacher in Texas is damn near impossible. I have to have the 10 commandments in my room, students aren't allowed any phones (this is good and bad), and I'm not allowed to have any discussion about gender or sexual orientation (I've always been a safe place for my students). I hate it here.

When public media disappears, so do the stories that bring us together.

With federal funding eliminated, millions may lose their last trusted source of news and connection.

If that matters to you, now’s the time to act. Donate: n.pr/458sOhq
I was not feeling excited for the new school year until I recieved two emails from previous students sharing how excited they were to have me as their AP Language and Composition teacher this year! Now I'm ready! #APLang #APTeacher

Congress eliminated public media funding. At a time of deep division, public media brings us together.

Last weekend before I get back to campus. Filling up the pool for the kids. Pretending like the country isn't on the brink of collapse for just a little while. Trying to hype myself up for the upcoming school year as much as possible. #edusky #teacherlife #summertime #vibing
I sometimes wonder if I don't want to be a teacher anymore OR is it that my admin just makes me not want to teach under them anymore. #teacherlife #questioning #teaching #elar #highschoolteacher
Is the new Superman movie a must see? I'm not really a big DC person though I did enjoy the first Wonder Woman movie and the old Batman movies. #superman #DC
It's so satisfying when a summer training is actually worth your time. #teacherlife #APLanguage
I am so very tired of being stressed about the US all the fucking time.
Secret day date with mi amor.
Couldn’t afford to buy eggs for breakfast this weekend. Also need to find money to get gas this weekend. On top of it all my washing machine isn’t working so I have to scrape coins to go to a laundromat. As a teacher, shouldn’t I be able to afford these little things? #stillhateithere

Looking at the newsfeed this morning, the only thing I can say is "Oh, shit!"

And I sat back with my coffee, which may be the last bag of coffee I can afford, looked for the eggs I couldn't afford, and wondered if the chicken in the fridge was safe.

Anyone flying somewhere today? Really?
The international bridges from Juarez to El Paso are currently closed and being blocked by police and military as a “precaution.” It’s a three day weekend. A lot of my students went to visit relatives in Mexico and will be heading home today. I guess I should expect a few absences tomorrow.
Petition for every weekend to be a three day weekend. I got all of my laundry done and tomorrow I can relax. It should always be this way.
I’m more mad that a stupid app is what got our government motivated to action.

Not school shootings.
Not healthcare.
Not the price of education.
Not wages.
Not the oligarchs.
Not the homeless.
Not the treatment of vets.
Not war.
Not sexism.
Not civil rights.

A fucking app where people danced.
Functioning on very little sleep and it’s going to be a busy day. Where’s my caffeine!?
