I have been teaching/discussing how things affect mood in my lit class. Music was listed as a mood booster. I was intentional with my drive to work music but the algorithm wasn't my friend. It kept playing wrong versions of songs. Finally got one to work and then it hit me with . . .

I laugh at Fox for complaining about non-Spanish speakers watching the world cup on Telemundo. When I was younger, we could only watch games on Telemundo as there wasn't much English coverage. Then again I am old.

I'm here asking for help. Recently, Kim, my wife, was diagnosed with an aggressive form of melanoma cancer. We are shocked and scared, but we're not without hope. We know she'll beat this. We have a GoFundMe live right now to help. Any help is greatly appreciated. gofund.me/9067ad4f7

Today was the last day with my econ seniors before graduation. They waited until after the bell to say goodbye. One of them comes up and says bring it in and gives me a huge hug. I am going to miss this group. 🥲

Who is this creeper? Packing up my classroom to move to a different one and some things need to go home because they don't fit in a box. Alas he is still riding in the back seat because I forget to bring it in

A student says he is stuck on a portion of my final that asks students to pick a character who is most like themselves or who they really liked. He said none. One of his teachers asks him to summarize a book he read and then says "Wait, that is like me!" Lit hits us differently and I love it.
