Taylor Swift is giving six sold-out concerts in my hometown of Toronto starting tonight. In her honor, here is a thread of her as functions y = x

Think of it this way. Because this is the way to think of it. The Death Penalty Must Be Wrong Because People Can Be Wrong And even if we were always right, killing is always wrong.

Heisler/New York Times:

@SkinnerPm I'm a sports fan. It's so invasive and exhausting- the constant and endless commercials, tweets, etc.

I don’t follow any sports much if at all any more, but I do follow disasters, and I’m just gonna say that the endless expansion of betting on every aspect of every sport, in every aspect of media and society, well, this is gonna be a disaster.

@DankwaBrooks I did fall asleep for a bit. 😴

#NYKvsIND is still on my 📺, but I’m grading assignments now 😭

@MsJennBlevins Happy Mother's Day, Jenn! 💐

@JayWamsted I just finished The New York Trilogy. Incredible. Still not sure what I just read, but going to start a re-read of The Kite Runner 20 years later. Extremely excited about it. One of my all time faves.

Me? I love to finish a great book because it just means I get to begin the next one. I start it that night My wife? Sad after a great book is over b/c she can’t shake the final pages. Reads randomly for days before starting another one You?

@JayWamsted Both!! Sad to finish a wonderful story and excited to start another adventure. ☺️

@JayWamsted We start ours today.

Bad news: Monday morning Good news: Last day of state testing Good news wins hands down!

Happy New Year to those celebrating this weekend in the South Asian Community!

Happy National School Librarian Day, @TamaraRichman!! Thank you for everything you do. ♥️📚

So proud of Woodrow Wilson Middle School's representation at the FCCLA Spring Conference!

6th graders forming Fantasy Super Bowl teams. Always a fun activity in math and American sports culture.

Book 5 of 2024 The Killers of the Flower Moon by David Grann. Reign of Terror and Murders of the Osage People. Creation of the FBI. David Grann pulls you in this horrible true story. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

@JayWamsted @historysmith I tell them their parents have great taste in music! As a 1980 baby, I do love the 80s and 90s music so much.

@historysmith I get that at school soooo much! "Mr. Wamsted, I love this song. It reminds me of my dad"

Someone please call 911 because my teenager just told me I had "good taste in music" and clearly I must be having some sort of episode

Book 2 of 2024 Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo The continued adventure of Kaz, Inej, Nina, Matthias, Jesper and Wylan more than lived up to the hype. Great fantasy adventure duology. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

@SkinnerPm I'm so ready for summer to make this with Jersey corn.

This is such a delicious five ingredient soup; corn, onions, butter, salt, lime juice. Can’t overstate how good this is. And so smoooooooooth.

Blah day so I’m making the cheeriest soup I know. Sweet corn soup. ‘Fresh’ corn (it was on the cob and not frozen at the store so….); two Vidalia onions cooked in a stick of butter until blonde/soft. Corn water made from the cobs. Saute the corn. Then blend until smooth as silk

It was a fun time in Math 6 completing PDF (Percents, Decimals and Fractions) Charts. The kids really enjoyed the challenge of completing more difficult charts as they progressed in class. #thinkingclassroom @pgliljedahl

@MondayHeinz @h_mounadi @Rainmaker1973 I loved seeing all the hairstyles!!

@h_mounadi @Rainmaker1973 This is an incredible level of dedication to complete this. Very impressive. Also, as a man, it amazes me to see how many different hairstyles one girl can have in the span of 20 years! She had like 30 different looks!

This man was a teacher for 40 years. In 1974, Dale Irby, a gym teacher in Dallas, realized he had worn the same outfit as the previous year on Picture Day, and decided to simply go with it, after Cathy – his wife – dared him to. So here you got 40 years with the same outfit until Dale's eventual retirement in 2013.

@Uma01692943 @mathequalslove I'm so glad! 🥹

@patel_abha @mathequalslove Yes I got one! It felt so special to see it at the end of day! Thanks @patel_abha

Students are writing their teachers (not me) Thank You cards for Thanksgiving. So heartwarming to see how thoughtful the notes are. Thank you @mathequalslove for the templates!
