England is an offensive force! Hopefully they can tap into that the rest of the tournament.

Soccer is by far the best sport for people who don’t start any given game rooting for either team. Just zero to “GO CAPE VERDE” in no time.

I used to sing "three sisters" to my kids at night like a lullaby because it was long enough and easy to remember. my daughter was 13 before she one day said "wait, that song is about murder?! and you sang it to us like it was a lullaby?!"

Is it not possible that where we're headed, since AI will only get better at imitating reality, is a return to relying on trusted journalism instead of whatever pops up in social media feeds?

The other day I said "don't throw the baby out with the bathwater" and the room erupted in confused alarm
THREE students today told me they'd never heard the phrase "shooting the breeze." One said he was going to steal it, so I'm rolling with it and becoming a trendsetter.

favorite response so far this semester to a journal assignment asking students what advice they'd have for my future students: "She knows way more than you think and enjoys and listens to what you have to say. If you get her really going, you might have to tell her to take a breath." ... fair 🙈

trying a new way of marking favorite lines; washi tape dots folded over the edges of pages. centered the first one but then realized I should leave the larger side of the dot on the page I'm actually marking or I'll just confuse it with the page on the opposite side of the sheet... #annotation #📚💙

My 11-year-old, from the back of the van, requested that we listen to If Books Could Kill. (My parenting skills are above reproach.) A while later, when I told him I was driving slowly in the rain to avoid the little frogs on the road, I said, (1/2)
Episode 39: The Let Them Theory
The self-help craze sweeping the nation tells you to “let them.” If someone cuts you off in traffic, let them. If your friends are ignoring you, let them. If a popular self-help author plagiarizes your idea and turns it into a book, LET THEM.

Stephanie's Books on YT, v. paraphrased: "Classics are out of my comfort zone; I'm going to try them to see what I might be missing. Starting with Of Mice and Men and I love it.

Stephanie's Books: Next is "The Old Man and the Sea"--

Just finished last night: 4.25⭐ First half felt like I was reading David Copperfield... and "Pippa"? and Christmas in the ending? Am I imagining Dickens here and there? Loved Tartt's writing style but could use a trim here and there, esp. at the end. Still a good read! #booksky #📚💙
