I Made 53

It’s mah birthday! Nothing major going on today as it’s a Monday and I have to work. Fun birthday stuff this upcoming weekend! It was actually a good day. Some of the kids in my first block class, Biology, sang me Happy Birthday. They’re 10th grade and part of that rowdy bunch of 9th graders […]

Perimenopause – Flash & Burn Indeed

Pretty interesting article on perimenopause from Washington Post: https://www.washingtonpost.com/style/of-interest/2024/11/12/perimenopause-moment/ It is absolutely a horrible time. The whole entirety of a woman’s life is GRUELING, the only time we have free of our biology is childhood pre-periods. After menstruation begins it’s a wrap. And to add insult to injury we now live in a time where […]

No Books in the Home

The graphic shows percentages of how little people read once they get out of school. I honestly don’t understand this, because how do you just…not read stuff? I don’t get how this happens but I know it’s true. I have taught children whose parents didn’t have even ONE book in the home.

Fraud

Buffy St. Marie is a Fraud and it Broke My Heart

So if you haven’t heard the news by now, The Fifth Estate revealed that Buffy St. Marie has lied about her heritage all these many years since the 1960s. Not only was she not adopted, she’s not even native. It’s a hard watch if you’re a fan like I am, but it’s worth watching to […]

Why is Rap So BAD Now?

Remember when female rappers wrote intelligent, insightful lyrics? Or even just fun, party, happy lyrics? Now pretty much it’s all about being a whore. Nowadays, the top female rappers now are literally former strippers or prostitutes, proud of it, and only seem willing or able to rap about that. Then, with the male rappers, in […]

How to Pronounce Trula

Just an FYI if you don’t know me offline: my name is pronounced true-lah. True like rhymes with blue, Lah like rhymes with ah. For some reason many people find my name difficult to say. If they see it in print first, they usually will completely ignore the R and say Tula. If I say […]
