I had a cat who would take a bite out of every roll in a plastic bag and spit it out.
Specialist appointment today. I had been hoping for repair of torn cartilage and other work to follow later. Orthopedist thinks the starting point is replacing both hips. (I don't think he's wrong. Just not what I wanted to hear.)
Does what we pay teachers matter? A 🧵. Teachers once took home salaries in line with workers in similar professions. Through the 80s and into the 90s, they paid a small penalty for choosing to teach; in 1993 the average salary of teachers was about 5% lower than that of others with college degrees.
14yo and I are at high schools in two different states this year. This week, both sent out messages saying that they were NOT the target of threats people may have heard about in social media.
Debating whether I should see if Calliope will wear a costume. We tried with Eurus one year, and that was a definite no!
An image you saved because it made you laugh.
Happy International Cat Day! Calliope's been with me.just over a week, but she's already the best part of my days here.
I used to joke that I was the "district gay" at my last job, ie, the most visible/loudest LGBTQ+ employee. I am proud of my work: LGBTQ+ advocate; 1st point of contact, advice-giver, and bridge to community resources for many students and families; coordinator of training (and sometimes presenter).
