Kat, my department head/friend who has taught AP Lit forever said to tell you she would be happy to share any of her "stuff" if you wanted it. You could even come to my school and talk with her in person if you'd like.
Don't I get a cookie?

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
Did anyone hear the "In Character" on NPR this morning? It was about Buffy. YAY!
I did! It made me want to bust out my DVDs again.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo
I heard it, Kat! Good, huh?
I drove to work today (which I rarely do) and heard it. Fun!
scrappy and tommyrot, absolutely fun! I love this series and look forward to it each Monday. And I've been reading the blog where people nominate their faves. I think the take on Buffy was one I hadn't really considered before, or the context of the commentator was one I hadn't considered as being applicable.

Me too!

OH! I appreciate that so much. Unfortunately, I've promised my principal to get the syllabus done in the next 3 days (by Wednesday!) so it can be submitted. It's really an issue of blancing how specific I have to be with my desire for flexibility. Plus, I HATE planning.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
There have been times when people walking will literally walk right into me, then pause, look down like, "Huh? What was that?" and then just keep walking. (These tend to be very tall people who are looking straight ahead and seem to not acknowledge that people much shorter than them are still people who deserve not to be walked into.)

I would take the stairs, if I could. But I think they're alarmed and locked to keep out transients, and I really don't like going into a confined space when there's no guarantee that I'll be able to get back out.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Was the apartment that pink when Colin was there?

The bathroom tile and floor is pink, but no. Not so much with the pink.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
So cute, Allyson! I am dying with envy of the plant-covered balcony and the Spare Oom.
