@Freyy_is @JuliusGoat Most schools have a secretary. That person is the hub of the entire school. Irreplaceable.

the funniest part of replacing receptionists with AI will be realizing nobody actually documented half the things jessica the front desk person just magically handled every day.

This is a whole essay for me.

@growingwisdom Weekend activity Bingo list. Pay bills got me four corners! Now I need fix up the gravestones for a diagonal . Let's go...

Beautiful morning! It's a dry Saturday, it's a wet Sunday, it's a mostly dry Monday.

This New York Times piece is worth your time. Here’s what is happening, as simply as I can put it. Back in January, Trump sued the IRS, an agency he controls, demanding $10 billion over the leak of his tax returns a number of years ago. IRS lawyers did their jobs. They wrote a memo laying out the defenses that could beat the suit, including the fact that Trump filed too late. His own lawyer was in court when the leaker pleaded guilty in October 2023, more than two years before Trump sued. The Justice Department never showed up to court. Never argued back. Never used the defenses sitting on their desk. The judge got suspicious and ordered both sides to explain whether they were actually opposing each other or just colluding. The day before that brief was due, Trump dropped the suit. Same day, his Justice Department announced a $1.776 billion taxpayer-funded “anti-weaponization fund.”  Trump gets a formal apology. The IRS agrees to drop any audits of him and his family, even though a 2024 Times report found a loss in an ongoing audit could cost him over $100 million. The acting Attorney General, Trump’s former criminal defense attorney, picks the five commissioners who decide who gets paid. Trump can fire any of them. Proud Boys and Oath Keepers are not ruled out. This is the most corrupt thing I’ve ever seen from an American president. Where in the hell are my Republican colleagues? nytimes.com/2026/05/19/adm…

@MerriamWebster Welcome to MA

'Angry' might be a bit too far, but probably 'ough.' rough cough drought though thought through

Do you remember how to fold reed boats when you were little?

After Nixon’s “I am not a crook” tax scandal, the IRS mandated that the president’s tax returns be audited yearly. Every president since Nixon (except Trump) publicly released theirs. With the new DOJ settlement ending his audits, Trump is essentially announcing “I am a crook.”

This site is bad a lot but not this part.

Just a disgraceful person.

Well, the secret is officially out :) On June 6th, a new 80+ mile trail around Boston's perimeter will be joining the Walking City Trails network and going live! @cambridgeday has the scoop below: cambridgeday.com/2026/05/12/a-n…

John Lewis was my parishioner. He had no reason to think that he would win when he was crossing the Edmund Pettus bridge. But he just kept walking. We must keep walking.

Make combobulate happen.

@MerriamWebster I'm going to try to make combobulate happen. I would like my desk to become so.

We hope this post about orphaned negatives makes you gruntled. An ‘orphaned negative’ is a word that SHOULD feel like it has a related word, but doesn’t. ‘Nonchalant’ is an orphaned negative because there is no ‘chalant.’

@JamesMartinSJ Like economic justice for Catholic elementary educators!!

@omgsidewalks Believe in the power of compounding interest. Even $15 in a fund/ month will add up!

I'm 22. Please recommend to me oddly specific life tips. No general “surround yourself with positive people” tips. I want the most random, specific advice possible please.
