@kristenrudd Yes. I LOVED this one!

Finished reading The Snow Child today for the third time. This book is so incredibly good.

@karr_pe We are there too :(

Our school district doesn't have time in the ELA curriculum for books and novels anymore. We use HMH now. Fast pacing chart monitored by district administration. Oh, you can still read books if you find the time. But there is no time.

@teachbk Led to quite the panic today, and not finalizing grades until after midnight, but for the first time in years, I took a real break.

Every teacher I talked to today said they had a restful break. We got nothing done. But we rested and that's something

@TimHannan He’s from my state. He also voted to end shutdown with just a promise of a health care vote bc “too many here were hurting” while govt was closed…

Get this guy out of the Democrat party. Schlubs like him are why we are where we are. Fuck is wrong with him?

@aliciaandrz Love that you feel able to do so. A step in the “staying here” direction. You are loved and it shows. You make a difference.

I realized next week is the last week of classes this semester. no way I’m going to the hospital when this week means bringing the work I’ve done with my students to completion—& saying goodbye to them. yet again, my love for my students gives me strength to be in the world.

@aliciaandrz You give so heavily of yourself that your students can’t help but feel it. Now is the time to give that same care to YOU. Hang in there, Dr. A.

@aliciaandrz That work with that student might be done for today, but we know you will impact so many more in the days to come as good teachers always will. Rest and find your way back to yourself. We’re all rooting for you!

@aliciaandrz I sincerely hope you are ok and I’ll miss watching your encouraging posts on sobriety, seeking tenure, and sharing literature with college students. Your light has been important to me. I hate that people are dragging you down when already feeling low. Please take care! Hugs!

hi all—I’ll be leaving this up for 24 hours before deactivating my account. I’m safe & getting care. I want to say that the reason people struggling with suicidal ideation don’t speak up is because people do things like call the cops on them & write their husbands, as is what happened to me yesterday. this is not the way, & I regret reaching out for help here. I will be writing an article about this in the future. thanks to those of you who reached out to me directly, though. it meant the world.

@PanthersFan_Afr @AshleyJamesH Yes. I know. But I haven’t a hard time switching because my Arise, then Youth plans almost always mean I can solve.

@bookdork2 @AshleyJamesH Raise has already been a Wordle solution in the past. I don't think Arose has been used yet. I've been debating Rinse, Opine, or Sauce as new starting words. None of them has yet been the solution.

After doing #Wordle for over 4 years and using the exact same word as my starting word every time, #Wordle1603 finally did it. My life is complete. Now the question is, do I continue with the starting word?

@BreRVA @SenTimKaine @MarkWarner @SenTimKaine @timkaine @MarkWarner - don’t give up bits of progress made during shutdown or all the suffering will have been for nothing. Healthcare is a must and “a promise of a vote” is not solid enough to break this stalemate. Consequences are real and stakes are high.

Good. @SenTimKaine & @MarkWarner should too.

@kasal_finley Switch to raise? That is my plan

Wordle 1,270 1/6 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Finally—my starting word was the word. Now do I pick a new first word? I’m not sure I can as a creature of habit.

@Robstack1982 Same! Now I need a new starter word

@helenstaniland Same here.

Wordle 1,603 1/6 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 It was bound to happen eventually.

@MadiSP4321 Same here

@Mouna_Boo @Sincerely_AO I needed this today.

When you are discouraged, thinking all is lost, Count your many blessings, name them one by one, And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done.

@invis4yo They discontinued my favorite Cran-Tangerine!

@Therapyquotes_ Amen

@Mrs_Vilhauer No to all 3

Random #teacher questions: I was chatting with a teacher friend today and a few topics were brought up and I wanted to hear from other teachers. Does your classroom have: 1. Windows 2. A sink 3. The ability to lock your door from the inside?

@MadiSP4321 We rarely get ours until two weeks before school starts :(
