We read this poem in class today. The puppy ad got a number of them distracted and asked if we could have a class dog.

Disappointed that my daily loan offer via voicemail has gone down from $63,000 to $58,000.

Accidentally got a pro-biotic version of a drink I really like. My body is reacting in kind. Ughhhhh.

My body is not wanting to be up yet. I have snoozed for an hour, which is rare for me.

Some of my seniors keep track of my blunders. On one of their tasks for today, I ended a sentence with a comma instead of a period. Oops.

Saw a post over the weekend somewhere that talked about normalizing using the correct term for someone and not just using friend. There are options and traits attached to each: friend, colleague, acquaintance, stranger, etc.

I challenge myself and others to use the correct word.

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

I don’t really drink coffee either. I did see this when I was at Meijer yesterday afternoon. I don’t think I would like this one as it has vanilla in it.

Guess that Qatari jet wasn’t a “gift” to Trump after all.

Screenshot of tweets. Mike Madrid writes: “Joe Biden was criticized for a Chinese balloon flying over our airspace. They’re giving Qatar an entire f’ing air base.”
Below, Aaron Rupar’s tweet quotes Pete Hegseth saying on Fox News: “I’m also proud that today we’re signing a letter of acceptance to build a Qatari Emeri air force facility at the Mountain Home Airbase in Idaho.”

If you are a Republican, and you have a kid with an IEP, this is the moment when you understand that you may support Republicans, but they don't support your family.

There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.

America’s children deserve better than this.

FIL is home! We went to pick him up from the hospital earlier today! This was way quicker than anticipated, which is good on multiple levels.

I came out to my family nine years ago this evening. Since things went south because of my relationship (not being gay), I sometimes regret coming out and pursuing a relationship with anyone.
