Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Oh, that's a good crackpot theory.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

It works for me, as far as crackpot theories go.

Oh, that reminds me, Strix, I don't remember where you asked me, but yes, tour will include Lenexa. So I could conceivably schedule to meet up with you if you're around. It'd be the 28th.

It's not a crackpot theory. It's the truth.

It can be both.

Silly midwesteners!

I found out today that I was selected as one of my district's Teachers of the Year. Which is awesome and exciting.

Now I have to submit paperwork to the county to be considered for one of the county's Teachers of the Year. Then if they select me further, I will be considered for the California Teacher of the Year and then national.

Essentially, it's like a beauty pageant but not for beauty but teaching.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I wish I could blame the pollen, but it's the freaky weather that's wreaking havoc on my sinuses today.

Congrats, Kat.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Congrats, Kat!
