She once was feral.
I made a birthday cake for my boo. #virgos
She is!
Love of my life.
The moral universe spiraling in real time.
I totally get it. I hope you get a little peace tonight ❤️
I watched the video to make myself feel compassion. He was a person, and it was brutal. Except now I can't unsee it.
I wish more people acted like they were in a library.
My guvna
I would never give up intelligence!
😆
I was hoping to drown the pollen.
I used a neti pot and waterboarded myself in the bathroom, that's how bad my allergies are.
This week has been too much and it's only Monday.
Imagine the future history books: “In 2025, the Supreme Court ruled it was unconstitutional to consider race in helping a Latino student get into college, but totally awesome to consider race when throwing their dad into a concentration camp.”
I was misnamed on a conference program. Not just a typo, but an error, given my name from a marriage that I left three years ago, and someone must pay for this. Or, I will become a hacker and fix the site myself. (Anyone have resources on becoming a hacker?)
Congratulations!
It worked, btw.

Watch out ya'll. I'm writing a strongly worded memo.
As a fellow introvert, I dig your sign.
Beautiful morning to march for workers' rights in downtown Albuquerque. @opinorg.bsky.social #workersoverbillionaires #laborday #50501movement #abq

I love my drill!
It's okay to use a drill. That's all I got. Good luck.
What are you going to do about it
A casual reminder to look up when you can.
New Mexico is giving people under 65 access to Covid shots. I am relieved to live in a state that is prioritizing public health. www.santafenewmexican.com/news/local_n...
Albuquerque, show up and support the working class this Labor Day. #workersoverbillionaires
I'm going. Are you? #workersoverbillionaires www.mobilize.us/commoncause/...
Not sure.
I can't get the sound of this baby boy's voice out of my head.
Happy Labor Day weekend 💫
What does the golden age of creativity and knowledge look like? I want to picture it, too.
Sorry to hear it.
Thanks 😭

I guess?
Agreed.
Amen
I think the rationale is that it's the mystery of god that their savior came in this form. Thinking like this requires a shit-ton of cognitive dissonance, which is on brand for religion.
It's a miracle!
Garbage rant after gatbage rant.
For crying out loud, it's in my head now.
A hernia, perhaps.
I agree!
It's not in my job description. Suffering spreadsheets!
Oh hell, I have to do math for my job again.
I mean, some people did, but our electoral votes have gone to democrats pretty steadily since Obama. I think we are not getting the same attention because we are small. Or maybe it's because we are a majority minority state, and he doesn't care that much about brown people.
We didn't vote for Trump in NM.
with my latte.
I don't know. I will be hiding under my bed.
Yup, me too.
Evening walk. #bluesky
😆
Interesting or boring?
Cheers to our beautiful brains.
I have a sneaking suspicion I am ADHD for lots of reasons but have never been diagnosed.
My hyperfixation starts like this, I am working, and I hear a song I've heard dozens of times before but it sounds like I'm *really* hearing it for the first time, and something clicks. Then I play it on repeat for days, weeks, months to the dismay of those around me. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2AAz...
I can.
Before you said it, I thought this sounds like ed, and I really wanted to make you a sandwich.
But is our government a rotting log?
Awww, thank you 😊

❤️❤️❤️
I have been an English teacher too. I wish I had become a librarian sooner 😊
😆
I mostly use the library digitally now. I ❤️ *databases*
😂😂😂 But seriously, there is so much precious knowledge to protect.
I think the concept of sharing is dying with late-stage capitalism and all. So that's why I was plugging it.
I am an OER Librarian, so I love sharing.
In case you don't know this, librarians are the best. (I am a librarian, but I am not talking about me.) I work in the field, and I know many wonderful, gracious librarians, who share knowledge because it makes them happy. Sharing. In this day and age? Can you believe it?
They are so ready for the dog park.
Ice packs can be helpful too. Also, landlords suck.
There must be requirements for what qualifies as a livable place 🤔, since people can die from the heat.
📚🤓
I am so lucky. My bedfellow is books ❤️
And yes, when I am writing, that happens.
It's flow: www.ted.com/talks/mihaly...
How exhausting and tedious to have to respond to that.
If I follow you, then your follower count ceases to be 666. Are you okay with that?
My cats fight over who is going to sleep closer to me in my bed. It wouldn't be so bad if I wasn't in it.
😊❤️

Israel has assassinated the entire Al Jazeera team in Gaza, Netanyahu's government carried out the assassination after the team of journalists spent months reporting on Israeli war crimes, collecting daily evidence of ongoing atrocities.
Ya, I know. Last year, the fish were dying in drying up puddles. Monsoon rain could fill it up for at least a few days. It's cloudy out, but alas, no drops here.
I thought he was trying to have that shriveled by a tanning bed look.
More pearls from Sugar: "The most terrible and beautiful and interesting things happen in a life. For some of you, those things have already happened. Whatever happens to you belongs to you. Make it yours....Let it nurture you, because it will."
Found this essay while lesson planning: "You don’t have to justify your education by demonstrating its financial rewards. You don’t have to maintain an impeccable credit score. Anyone who expects you to...has no sense of history or economics or science or the arts." therumpus.net/2011/05/05/d...
The Rio Grande in Albuquerque is drying up. The riverbed feels like pottery crumbling under your feet. I keep hoping for rain.
