you know what. i thought i was done but im not 😂 i am barely on bluesky to begin with. the last thing im gonna do is get on the internet and lie to yall. i do not care about social media enough to lie to you. and, my sister is a teacher. she (and i) believe in the value of doing your own work.

like....are yall okay??? Kids are people too and while yes, they are sponges, they also have the capacity to think for themselves and use their imaginations. Especially my nephew, who is sweet and empathetic and curious and well-intentioned. I shouldn't need to say this. bsky.app/profile/jeremiahchronister.bsky.social/post/3miylzcq7q52e

on one hand i think i personally am above debating the intricacies of elementary school homework. on the other hand, i continue to be surprised by how something i thought was innocuous and sweet is being misconstrued so severely. he explains very clearly what it means: people not getting hurt

I want to quote screenshot this whole excellent piece from Marisa, but this especially - we *make* the words, we don't just regurgitate without the feeling, without the things that makes us human.

free note to everyone: you can just say we shouldn’t be bombing Iran rather than pretending this would be fine if Trump explained himself better

Today I learned my pops is the person who's been sending out the Zoom link for some meetings he's a part of. He has been opening the Zoom invitation on his computer, writing down the meeting ID and passcode by hand, and typing it into his phone to send an email in his mail app. Copy and paste? Never
