Hello #Bluesky community! Reintroducing myself here since there's been a deluge of people leaving the Upside Down.

I teach elementary Band and Orchestra in grades 4-6. I married my best friend and have two amazing children. Never met a pizza I didn't like.

Louder for the folks in the back!
There isn't a single problem "solved" by edtech that couldn't be fixed with smaller classes led by well-paid teachers given real academic freedom

Considering the price of eggs, six geese a-laying is looking more and more like a pretty thoughtful Christmas gift.

Why do I love living in Boston? Yo-Yo Ma playing the Bach cello suites before bringing Mayor Wu out to duet for an encore, that’s why.

Last night at my bar job:
"Lincoln can you make more of the pineapple syrup. We need a lot so use the big immersion blender"
Me: "Sure, which one is the big one?"

"You'll know..."

Congratulations to all the runners today at the Chicago Marathon!

I hope you’re taking a moment after crossing the finish line and enjoying all that the best big city in the nation has to offer.

I am so tired of Ed tech companies selling us their latest nonsense.

If Ed tech wants to impress me, how about building a copy machine that works

Whether it's playing Born in the USA at rallies or referencing Apocalypse Now, it never ceases to amaze me how often conservatives stupidly parody themselves with pop culture references.
Read Pritzker’s message a few times over. This is pure insanity.
The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city.

This is not a joke. This is not normal.

Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.
