Spent the entire day with my son's kindergarten class as part of their Watch D.O.G.S program. I was very impressed by his first-year teacher but whatever they're paying the para-educators in that school should be tripled, at least.

@skylight.social are there plans, or is it even possible with the ATProto, to allow creators to monetize on your platform? It seems to me that that could be the biggest hurdle to draw large creators over from the other app.

Keep yourself distracted with your outrage and your guns/
And trust me this is all totally normal

This has become one of my favorite songs to do live and having the horns behind me made it extra fun! (Give my band a follow!)
Regardless of whether your preference is for Louis Prima or David Lee Roth, it's never a bad time to play Just a Gigolo! #LiveMusic

Had the pleasure of seeing one of my students in her first musical. She played Lily in an extremely abridged Annie Jr and she's already wanting to audition for another. The arts are important.

Reviews are pouring in! Firstly, my niece did the drawing on the cover so that's not the burn you think it is. Secondly, I'm 44, ease up on the "gramps" stuff. Thirdly, telling a musician they suck is redundant. I say it every day and since the album released this weekend, I've done two remixes.

How did David Wright become a voting member of the writer's union?
Ballot #5 is from a voter who wishes to remain anonymous. As a refresher, we are unable to report adds or drops, if any, on anonymous ballots.
This is the first ever known David Wright-only ballot. There will not be a unanimous inductee this year.
