Shasta is wearing her privacy scarf, as she is wont to do

currently in the midst of wildfire smoke, this walk from last weekend seems like a lovely dream

this good boy does not understand why he’s on house arrest, but “an AQI of 500” is a tricky concept for dogs 😕

I fell into a soothing ring of moss
I went down, down, down — and the feeling was so boss
#texturetuesday #mosstodon
have I mentioned lately how much I love oaks?
#footpathfriday #lichensubscribe
a beach path is also nice from time to time
into the green tunnel!
once upon a time when i was driven to take this photo, i didn’t realize it would be the inevitable choice for a #texturetuesday but now i see the bigger picture and i’m humbled
STOP being so beautiful, wisteria in the spring! #bloomscrolling
my hope is that there are a great many of us who plan to strike may 1st that haven’t been discussing their plans online
because i haven’t seen much in the way of organization
and yet i hear a great many people talking about it irl
now, as ever, workers unite! ✊
i had the intention of making a #3goodthings declaration — one can always find the things, i told myself — but i woke up with a headache, so i’m postponing
but the things are out there! they exist!
so good morning, anyway 😘
husband, thinking about Sonny Rollins: so many saxophone players die
me: all of them, hon
husband, who is also a saxophone player: oh my god
i just want to say, as an educator this is such a hard time
i am torn every day between helping my students square up to all that is going on in their world while also recognizing that they are just kids, and some of them are only barely hanging on emotionally these days. they are scared and overwhelmed much of the time
thinking about reading the geneva conventions in government class today but fuck! we are all under the shadow of existential threat
for #wallwednesday — here’s a large scale artwork that i think about frequently
should anyone be curious, the question of the day that i wound up going with today was “how much do you think about the future? or do you prefer to stay in the present?”
it turned out that people were all over the place in their responses and it was super interesting. at this point in the year everyone is used to talking about these kinds of things (we’re a pretty tight classroom community by now) and so they’re pretty open and honest

got to this point in Mad Men- huh
(this show is really making me see my parents in a fresh light, they were basically the ages of these 2 characters)

@afreytes@mastodon.gamedev.place thanks for reminding me of that word — it’s a good one

@JourneysInFilm@hcommons.social I have an additional layer of deep sadness & torment for sure
I’m excruciatingly aware at all times of the larger context within which my students are learning — torn between needing to respond to the realities of the moment while also supporting vulnerable kids
it’s a day by day process and yeah, I’m tired. we all feel like every day is a decade.

this slays me!
our dog was killed at the end of august and we’ve been in mourning since — but I think this has tipped me over the edge of readiness, I miss having a dog so much!!
(thanks for the push 💚😄)
Replying to
@cmconseils@mastodon.social that’s quite a work
today was pretty good, peeps
in world history we learned about same-sex unions in ancient mesopotamia, among other items of interest
we started watching rebel without a cause in english class (it’s all about those camera angles! plus, i think the acting really holds up, even if the style does not necessarily)
and when i got home i was able to check out a much-awaited library book! such a good anticipatory feeling
#3goodthings
#3goodthings:
a- i managed to go to the gym today to get more swole (not true, actually i get less swole, but swole is a concept)
b- we have 2 fieldtrips coming up this week — that’s crazy! they’re both to beautiful outdoor locations
c- i discovered that the dept. of archaeology at Cambridge made a short film some years back ENTIRELY IN OLD BABYLONIAN (the first and only of its kind) available on youtube and that sounds like a must see for a world history class
