In Ohio news, the republican governor is not endorsing the DOGE reject billionaire his party nominated who wants to get rid of teacher's unions.

Instead, he's making news with comments in defense of his party's *opponent* to replace him post-retirement.

Weird times.

I had such a long day and I have so much grading left before I can sleep….and get up tomorrow and grade more!

I haven’t talked to ballerina neighbors in a minute but I heard they just unionized, so I need to make them cookies. 🍪

How the professions being bullied also feel!

They were threatening to underfund roads in Indiana.

Sweetie, there are endless TikToks of truck drivers crossing into Indiana because it’s literally a pothole-ridden hellscape already.

Thank you @golden.house.gov & Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick for leading the Protect America’s Workforce Act to undo Trump’s union-busting order and restore union rights for 1 million federal workers.

Today’s bipartisan House vote moves us forward.
BREAKING: Democrats and Republicans in Congress just voted to pass the Protect America’s Workforce Act to restore federal workers’ union rights – the first time the House has voted to overturn a Trump executive order in this term. https://bit.ly/4oNyBQc

Thank you, Indiana Republicans, for not bending the knee.

I bet the voting base is really happy with being held hostage.

Good look.

A VERY EARLY final exam day with donuts and coffee for all.

Now to lock down for three days of grading interrupted by meetings.

When you find people who do trauma how you do.

Gorgeous.
Will Arnett was on Conan and told a story about how Conan dealt with the death of his parents by accusing Jason Bateman of killing them. It’s so funny.

Because it’s so obvious as to be a hand-in-your-face, my state rep has gone to media to whisper “maybe war crimes?,” but super quiet so that he doesn’t make the man angry.

List of what faculty across the US can do with the empty promises of protection their admins offered them in 2025:

-paper airplanes
-origami
-those fortune teller things we made in middle school that promised you’d get married to a rich dude
-wallpaper

Knowing what I know about higher education in the midwest I rooted for either a strike by players or for everyone to loose.

I have planned & hosted these ceremonies at two different jobs, and I can 100% confirm that @kevinmkruse.bsky.social is 100% correct. And I would guess that probably 90% of people born in this country couldn’t pass the citizenship exam that new Americans have to pass to be naturalized.
If you've ever been to a naturalization ceremony, you know they're filled with people whose palpable love of this country is twenty times stronger than the pinched "patriotism" of any native-born MAGA chud.

Just unspeakable assholery.
