Without saying your age (💀💀💀) what is your favorite movie released the year you turned 18? 🎬 #filmsky #moviesky

Lois Lowry has a new novel debuting in September! I enjoyed the pacing of the story, its connection to current events, and its emphasis on how stories and imagination build connections. I will definitely be adding a copy to my classroom! Thanks to NetGalley for the preview.

Well dammit. Our local school levy failed. I'm sad for myself and my coworkers, but the kids will pay the biggest price. We have to figure out a better way to fund schools.

As my favorite music decade, this is a Sophie's Choice situation. But, if I have to pick....Song 2 by Blur.

What's the most 90's song of all time?

I have a pact with myself that every time I see this video posted, I must watch it. I am never, ever disappointed.

I love this series so much! I can't wait to get it for my classroom!

I'm celebrating (today, woohoo!!!) the launch of I'M BUSY, a new picture book written by @michaelianblack.bsky.social and illustrated by me, out today from @simonkids.bsky.social. #KidLitChat

These are great. Even after 20+ years, there are things for me to learn, or relearn. I have a student teacher right now, and I'm going to share this with her as well.

Thousands of protesters marched to Portland's ICE building Saturday. Demonstrators were met with large clouds of tear gas, pepper balls and flash-bangs shortly after their arrival. www.oregonlive.com/politics/202...

(hint for teachers: using AI to give feedback is the ultimate hint that you don't care about what you're reading and that is a lesson that student writers carry with them beyond your classroom so please don't do that)

I've called my rep and was told she has been getting a lot of calls encouraging a no vote. I hope she follows through.

Evan Greer@evangreer.bsky.social · 7mo ago

So the House is going to vote TOMORROW on the DHS funding bill that includes funding for ICE. There's a real chance we can get Dems to vote NO on any bill with ICE funding to sink it. Once it goes to the Senate we likely lose this chance. 24 hours. Go. www.fightforthefuture.org/actions/no-f...

Good for her! I hope she has some wonderful garden summers ahead of her.

Prue Leith, one of the judges of “The Great British Bake Off,” said on Wednesday that she was leaving the TV show after presiding over more than 400 challenges in nine seasons.

I'm not Gen Z, but the first question I asked my partner when I messaged him in early 2017 was what his opinion about the election outcome. He responded appropriately.

Everyone has a list of so-called "red flags" when they're dating. And for some, especially younger Americans, different political views is a relationship deal breaker.

PRODUCER 1: Okay, so: Curtain up. It’s Christmas Eve. A young girl named Clara is opening gifts. One happens to be from her favorite uncle, a kind of creepy mask-wearing guy named Drosselmeyer. PRODUCER 2: Don’t love this...

On the first Saturday of winter break, I'm sitting on the couch, drinking a martini, listening to Dire Straits on vinyl, and looking at the Christmas tree. It's a special kind of perfect.

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Over the last 20 years, we have gotten a comp day on the Friday of conference for two evenings of conferences. This year, our comp day was today…3 weeks later. I’m enjoying a 4 day weekend, but I would have preferred that Friday off. Conference week was exhausting!

Pizza Beans 2.0! Hearty chickpeas, sausage, and kale are simmered in a spicy tomato sauce then finished with melted and blistered mozzarella and pecorino. We like to scoop it onto garlic bread. smittenkitchen.com/2025/02/ziti...

It's the beginning of vinyl and knitting season. Tonight, we are starting with Simon and Garfunkel's Parsley, Sage, Rosemary, and Thyme while I work on knitting a shrug I started last winter.

We've finished the first month of school. Of course there have been ups and downs, but I can feel a good year forming. We have new admin, and that is making a big difference. Here's to a great year!

Beaver fans, get yourself some Dippin' Dots at the game this evening to support Corvallis High School athletic programs. Parents are also serving beer and Bloody Marys to raise money for the programs. #gobeavs

Scrolling Bluesky last night was my favorite time ever scrolling. Thank you for reminding me to have hope.

Back to School Night ✅ 24 of 26 fourth graders and their adults came. Several former students came by to say hello. Two boys exchanged bff necklaces and were so excited. I chatted about Travis and Taylor. It’s going to be a great year! But, I am TIRED!

A few more books arrived today. I don't know who sent them, but if it was you, thanks so much! @mattholm.bsky.social @sarahweeks.bsky.social @amynoelleparks.bsky.social, thank you for writing awesome books! Thanks again @prisonculture.bsky.social for sharing my list!

Wow! Thank you so much @prisonculture.bsky.social for promoting my list. The books have started rolling in, and I can't wait to share them with my new students. All of the donations were anonymous, but if you sent something, thank you so much!

Here outside the House chamber with folks chanting “LET HER OUT!”

Today, I met my fear of ladders head on and washed the upper windows. It wasn’t terrible, and they look so much better!

Nearly everyday, but especially today, I’m glad I deleted my meta accounts. On occasion I miss scrolling through reels, but I’ll never go back.

Pro tip: If it holds water and doesn't leak, you're good. You don't need a new one.
