Do I know anyone in Oxford who would want a full-sized mattress? Free to a good home, and It's still in good shape.
Watching old Sesame Street with the almost 2-yo and seeing a playtime-themed cover of "two princes" with Teddy, Elmo, and the lead singer of spin doctors definitely had me feeling some kind of way

Briefly returning to Twitter-land to report that a student came up to me after class today, and showed me a copy of the draft anti-CRT bill on his laptop and told me that "soon you won't be able to teach like that anymore."

Today my younger daughter was out sick from daycare. This was the 7th day out of the last 12 working days where she has been out of daycare due to one illness or another. Including weekends, she's been home for 11 out of the last 16 days.

My first flight in a year and a half! And now @SouthwestAir is telling me that my flight is delayed, I'll miss my connection, and there's a 93 minute wait to talk to someone!
I remember once in grad school my advisor mildly suggested that I consider having kids, since grad school offers flexibility etc. And, now that I've spent 15 months as lead caregiver for first one and then another child, I can say with confidence: this was pretty terrible advice

One of the things about living in a small town in Mississippi is that there's no real way of knowing if the big pile of bamboo blocking your driveway is a juvenile hate-crime type of situation, or a careless pickup-truck driver type of situation.

Breaking a brief twitter hiatus to post an article that made me nauseated and furious washingtonpost.com/politics/…
and so often feeling nauseous and furious is sort of why I'm spending less time on Twitter but also it's important not to look away
