I have a very similar shirt to yours in that second picture. If you still have it to wear, I hope you will feel connected to someone who cares about you. If you don’t have it, I will wear mine and think of you. Please take care.

Look at the erosion in quality of consumer goods. How could that possibly hold a 300 lbs 32 inch television?

Just such a lib mindset to toss perfectly good organic matter into the trash instead of the compost bin.

What am I supposed to make of this comment? COVID is ripping through the entire global population still. Do you think COVID is gone elsewhere?

The most I’m expecting is a short lived ad hoc tacticool “checkpoint” on the way to work to keep out the illegals, despite my town being in the geographic center of a continent.

Drumpf is done for now!!! 😭😂😂

Is it so much to ask that they look back on these horrors now and throw themselves off bridges?

Those canvassers have the right idea. When I did door-to-door sales half of my “interactions” were fake knocks while I played Pokemon Go on my personal phone.

❤️ The spring of communist optimism never runs dry

“Meanwhile, living conditions in Russia are not so different from living conditions on the Moon . . . Life in Russia differs from life in future colonies on the Moon only in that in Russia almost every year there is summer, a short period of time when you can go outside without a protective suit . . .”

Climate change has taken away another beautiful vision of communist optimism.

First off, vegans are an inspiration and deserve praise.

Maybe you are lucky, because I’m old and male too but I still get shit. But I am also sub 5’7”, have pretty nice long hair, and sometimes I wear eyeliner and nail polish. I’m sure that adds to the perception that I can be picked on. I don’t normally care, but yesterday just got under my skin a little.

Had to do outdoor bus duty yesterday during dismissal. So I took off my mask off because it was nice and breezy out. My students rarely see me without my mask.

Every time I do this I always regret it because of how rude students, teachers, and parents are to me. Some kids are sweet and just say that I look nice. But most of the comments are:

“Why aren’t you wearing your mask???”

“Nice to see your face finally, Mr. FishLake!”

“Don’t wear a mask tomorrow! COVID is over!”

Can’t you just mind your own fucking business?

I truly don’t get it. Especially when audiobooks exist.

Graded homework is a great way to reinforce and expand classroom learning when the material conditions at home allow for academic success.

If a child doesn’t have a learning environment at home then homework is just going to be a burden. OP is doing a great thing by giving their students nongraded homework. It’s good practice for the students to find a place/time at home to do a fun, low stakes activity at home.

Love giving reinforcement “assignments.” It’s great when you find a game that they prefer to play over Fortnite for a week or so.

I had a lot of success with take-home Zentangle activities for lower elementary.

Don’t forget to mention these things take time, sweetie. It’s not like ann episode of West Wing, sweetie. Biden has his own agenda, sweetie.

What’s up with insurance customers assuming that their medical needs will be covered? Ugh. Entitled millennials.

I love that a large portion of my paycheck goes to the privilege of having insurance that applies to nothing. It’s a neat system.

I like good news

You gotta keep in mind false negatives are most commonly caused by user error and the test not detecting enough COVID antigens in the sample. Antigen tests gauge infectiousness. But even if you have symptoms you may still test negative because your body isn’t producing enough of the measurable antigens. So the antigen tests are one good tool to help gauge when you are no longer infectious.

If you’re testing negative after 14 days but still have symptoms then you might still be infectious.
