I am not an adult. Please take these responsibilities from me and replace them with tv and cheesy bread. I teach because I’m smart.

My non-teacher friends: I’m so jealous of your summer off. Me: yesterday I had a colonoscopy, today I went to the orthopedist, tomorrow I’m having my teeth cleaned. – at Atlanta, GA

Birth is the only medical procedure that people value the patient being in pain. Every other procedure that we make less painful or easier or safer is heralded as a medical marvel. When we do it for birth, we shame patients. I hate it here.

IT IS 2023 AND I AM ADMITTING THAT I HAVE NO INTENTION OF READING EVERY BOOK I BUY. I LIKE COLLECTING THEM. I LIKE HAVING LOTS OF THEM AROUND. I LIKE BEING SURROUNDED BY STORIES AND POSSIBILITIES. I WANT A LIBRARY. I AM NOT A BOOK MINIMALIST LEAVE ME ALONE (WITH MY BOOKS).

i love being in bed. i don’t understand how people don’t get into bed and immediately feel happier. Sometimes I get into bed and that is my activity, just being in bed, because that’s how happy it makes me. I just lay there and think about how I’m in my bed and I’m happy about it

If anyone needs a little motivation today, call (707) 873-7862. It’s a school project where kindergarteners give you a pep talk. It’s so cute 🥹😅. And it’s automated!

Transforming our assessment practices and grading systems is the MOST effective way to reimagine education.

Automatically issuing ID cards as prisoners are released is an easy but important step to help reintegration back into society. Every state should do this. illinoispolicy.org/illinois-…

The word “Trigger” has sort of been made into a joke and I hesitate to use it often because so but triggers are real for addictions and also for depression. Suicide Hotline: 1-800-273-8255. Take care of yourself ❤️🧠❤️🧠❤️🧠

One of the great things about being an astronaut and flying in space was being a part of something greater than oneself. Same holds true about being a U.S. Citizen. Happy #FourthOfJuly!
