I’ve inherited my grandmothers sewing machine. I’m attempting to get back into sewing but I’m discovering something HORRIBLE

How I start sleeping: on stomach, head facing right, one arm around small pillow, blanket between knees, one hand on BF
Every day without fail how I wake up: on back, arms at sides or crossed - coffin style

THIS WAS MONEY FOR CHILDREN’S HEALTHCARE.
A Florida grand jury found $10 MILLION meant to help provide health insurance for poor children was misappropriated for political purposes.
Moody & DeSantis took money meant for kids.

As a university professor who works with undergrads - sometimes things such as Cornell 7 cause me to lose all hope.
Then I overhear a 20-ish male undergrad screaming into his phone
“Essays?? They should be dead!”

Today my students worked on complex English sentence structures. As I always do the zoom break out rooms are randomized.
I accidentally put all the English Language Learners in the same group 😱
I have never apologized to students so much 🤣☠️

I teach a 200 level college class. Last day before first project is due so I do one-on-ones.
The amount of times I’ve had to explain the BASIC PREMISE of the project is unnerving. I’ve said the same thing every class for four weeks.
I’m concerned for the next generation.

Zoom students never say their names orally.
I have to pronounce foreign students names without knowing the language or it’s rules.
Anytime I pronounce foreign words I use my Spanish accent. Which sounds Italian.

New Working Theory: Everyone has one accent they can fake perfectly.
Im Peruvian. Mine should be Spanish but it actually comes out more Italian.

Being AuDHD means I got into a make up hyperfixation. Bought all the tools. Finally got to use them the first time and then went
“I CAN FEEL MY FACE”
And never wore it again 🤣

Sweet, just learned that my overseas voter registration from the spring has been canceled. Very cool democracy we've got, working great. Anyways, now I'm even more excited to vote against Ken Paxton.
Texas has suspended over 1.2 million voter registrations. Many valid voters in Texas have found their voter registrations were somehow canceled when they checked. Check your registration here and fix it immediately - Texas doesn't always honor provisional ballots cast on election day.
