They're gonna have a critical teacher shortage this school year.
I'm a retired middle-school ELA/Reading teacher, an LGBTQ+ally, an avid quilter and sewist, a voracious book reader, pet lover, and Grandma. I love a good laugh, as long as it's not at anyone else's expense.

I am urging everyone to support their local public television station. Defunding public television means there won't be access to unbiased news and educational programming for children. Fight back by donating what you can afford. Every dollar counts.

Trump defunds Public Television; the Muppets are invited to Nashville to sing at the Grand Ole Opry. I call that a win.

tRump states that Repubs deserve 5 more seats in Texas through gerrymandering. I say we deserve a new president, one who won't tolerate this kind of malarkey.

And then he had the nerve to take away the trophy for himself, and gave them a cheap imitation. The real trophy is now sitting in the oval office.

You mean, he'll fly over, not looking at anything out the window, and then, after landing, he'll slowly shuffle his way toward the microphones they've set up for him, and immediately go into a rant about how the floods were all Biden's fault.

A truly decent human being. Joe Biden took the time to attend the funeral of a Minnesota representative, and console the grieving daughters. The orange mistake couldn't even be bothered to pick up the phone and call.

The United States tried presidents who were smart, decent, and capable of empathy, but decided it wasnβt for them. It just didnβt reflect them.

Minnesota has just been hit by an unspeakable act of violence. Don't come after the citizens or the state because we "cancelled" a few No Kings rally locations for citizens'personal safety reasons. We are out here peacefully protesting DJT. Have some mercy, for pity's sake. Be decent human beings.
jen1958.bsky.social (@jen1958.bsky.social) reply parent
Not true. We had a double homicide in the early morning hours, when a man, posing as a peace officer, opened fire on two state Senate representatives, killing several family members. Minnesota is standing up to DJT, however, a few rallies were cancelled for safety reasons. Check your facts.
jen1958.bsky.social (@jen1958.bsky.social)
What DJT has forgotten, is that the president is the servant of the PEOPLE, not the other way around. While a small minority of people bought his way into the current office, there is a significantly larger group of people who will take him OUT. We're placing you on notice Donny J. Time is up!

ππClytemestra by Costanza Casati is an historical fiction novel filled with so much Greek history! Between this novel and the author's second novel, Babylonia, I learned things I never knew before. Don't be fooled by the genre, this is a very well-researched book.
