"Their symptoms will rarely prove fatal, but their lives will be long and miserable, and they may end by nearly exhausting their families and friends."
Fuck you. I'm going to have a happy, beautiful, mutually-supportive, love-filled life out of spite.

having to explain chills and goosebumps from awe and wonder while reading a picture book to kids, when...
kindergartener: "the book is shaking"
me: "yeah sometimes I shake when I get excited. Like a chihuahua."
I lost them. The room erupted. The adults were laughing too. No recovering from that.

Starbucks baristas have done everything right — organized, bargained, and stood together.
But the CEO still refuses to offer a fair contract or end union busting.
If baristas go on ULP strike, our response is simply DON’T BUY STARBUCKS.

"You're in the most conservative neighborhood in the city and nobody wants you here."
Border Patrol grabbed workers from the front yard of a home in Edison Park this afternoon then took them behind an office building in Niles and passed them off to a prisoner van. Woman came out to MF them and said "you're in the most conservative neighborhood in the city and nobody wants you here."

I see it all of the time and everywhere. So many people DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON and this is actually usually by design. People are busy trying to survive, people are in info silos, people don't like to do politics, etc etc etc...

The truest thing anyone has ever said On Here is @prisonculture.bsky.social's bang-on statement that most Americans simply do not know what's going on. And people continue to equate "illegal" with "impossible." (If you doubt that, read my mentions.)

Recently my brother in law explained what gerrymandering was to a coworker and they didn’t believe him because if that were really happening there would be riots in the street
This week I had someone tell me they're not worried about SNAP being cut off because "that's illegal, so it's impossible Trump could do that, so obviously it's just media sensationalism." Another person told me they weren't worried about ICE because "they can't detain you if you're legally here."

today in teaching in 2025, I went out to the parking lot to confront a strange truck idling after school, and it was an administrator from the district office watching for ICE during an afterschool event.

The vast majority of the millions of people who work with young people in this country won't HARM your kids, teens, and young adults... we would DIE for them.
In loco parentis, indeed.
The next time you let your relative or neighbor rant about drag story hours or picturebooks? Remember THAT.

Today I managed to clean my whole apartment more than I have in months, showered, exercised, did my coursework, hung out with a friend, made a nice dinner...
what I'm saying is, this doesn't happen with my body and brain, plus this week was especially rough.
I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop.

My groups skip around grade levels ( e.g. 1st > 3rd > Kinder > 4th) so I have to switch modes quickly or risk, say, telling a 4th grader a Kinder joke.
It will humble you. My students haven't learned the courtesy laugh so if my joke falls flat, it's *crickets*. Very humbling.
