We saw Lord of the Rings musical last night. Fun, camp, music and choreo were 👌. This line from the “will we ever be put in stories?” scene stuck with me. “Stories we tell will cast their spell Now and for always” At the end of this one, there wasn’t a dry eye in the house.

Slow Horses premiering during my busiest week is pretty disrespectful, ngl.

Disheartened by the mounting evidence against NaNoWriMo and the Office of Letters and Light as an organization. Accepting AI is honestly the least of the strikes against them, but it might just be the final nail in the coffin. What’s the solution? Another space? A hashtag?

Another fucking school shooting today. How does this keep happening? We know how it keeps happening, but we do nothing to stop it.

My heart goes out to these kids. I am in disbelief at how poorly this was handled by the school. A textbook case of a preventable tragedy. - clear warning signs - a phone call the morning of the shooting.

Why are we spending most of 22 minutes learning about Gary Blauman instead of getting to know the Mother? 3rd to last episode…such a waste of time. #HowIMetYourMother

Pretty offensive that it was 60° yesterday and it’ll be 90° next Thursday. 🍂 ➡️☀️

It’s about time I finished this. #TOWO

Folks who are into #Bluegrass or Bluegrass-Adjacent music: looking for modern, diverse groups to share with my students as we produce #BrightStar (the musical) this Fall.

The youths who record a podcast during their lunch hour in the auditorium are talking about the 9/11 > MCR > Twilight pipeline.

Ainsley can’t believe they let this fucker keep taking. Turn his mic off and leave it off.

Me, to Amy: I'm so stoked for this book that was delivered today. It's published by my favorite textbook company, Routledge Books. The margins! The paper quality! The niche subjects! Amy: You have a favorite textbook company? Me: I cannot believe this is surprising to you.

Me, talking about True Lies: Oh, this is a great movie. Amy: Great in the way you think My Cousin Vinny is great, or… Me: First of all…

Rivals painted our rock last night. First time in ages. But our groundskeeper painted it red before anyone saw it. So, brought out my first hour to get it looking good. Hoping to see more school spirit as the year progresses. It’s been too long.

As a real life teacher, I have some trouble suspending disbelief about Abbott Elementary. The Gregory straight to principal track is wild. Mostly b/c it’s insane to me they picked the most unbelievable storyline to be the *one* we follow across multiple episodes.

Something ✨scandalous ✨is brewing in Vienna this week. Stay tuned, Darling. 👀 Mysteriously, Sterling Lockwood 💋 Concierge & Keeper of Secrets
