Leadership is in a tizzy about the looming debt default. We are pretty insulated from gov shutdowns, but I'm not as sure about this scenario. They need to stop fucking around. Kevin needs to stop being an arse.

The first part of this tiktok is the kind of thing that is riling people up to the point that they're getting violent in the stores. It's ridiculous and the modern day version of the satanic panic.

My 3rd grader, who eats school lunch during the year, will be packing her own lunch for the weeks of camp that require it. I think it's a task most elementary school kids can handle. If she wanted to eat home lunch during the year, I'd have her pack lunch then, too. I think that's perfectly reasonable. I told DD yesterday that next year (2nd grade) she will be responsible for packing her own lunch (with supervision) I made my soon-to-be 2nd grader a lunchbox a "prix fixe" style menu with columns and suggestions to create a balanced lunch (i.e. pick 1 each under entree, fruit/veg, sides, yogurt/applesauce, treat, drink, etc.). I keep it posted on the refrigerator along with the school hot lunch menu so he can determine if he wants to bring his own. I make sure the options are all accessible to him and he fills up his box. He loves it because he's feeling the independence of choices and I love it because I don't have to do much. Win-win!

I have a lunch meeting with one of our Uber conservative school board members in an hour and am getting nervous.
H was debating her on social media a few weeks ago and she offered to meet in person. In the heat of the moment, he agreed and told me I had to come to help him keep his foot out of his mouth.

Kevin McCarthy is running his fool mouth to reporters and he literally just said it's the Democrats' fault that the Republicans won't do their jobs because, well, they should have raised the debt ceiling in December. He's saying, out loud, that they don't want to do their jobs.
"Sorry I had to blow up your economy, it's your fault for having an economy that can be blown up!"

If he’s doing all this shit as Governor, just imagine what he’d try at the President level. In many ways he is scarier than 45, who only wants the Presidency to shield him from the law and $ This guy has truly awful policies and I wouldn't feel as safe in my blue state

Right now she can pick one day to have a packed lunch based on the calendar. But I might be more open to it more often if she is capable of making the sandwich/lunch.

I don’t understand why people can’t just NOT buy the things.
I saw a Tiktok where the person was offended because there was some shirt with a dinosaur and a rainbow. It’s so ridiculous. No one is forcing these people to take out their wallets and buy the shirts. Plus, my 5yo definitely associates rainbows with the thing in the sky after a rainstorm.

This rumor just confirms to me this is targeted outrage at the trans community. The swimsuit gives MORE COVERAGE. If Target sold it with a label that said "Modest-Friendly" instead they would be salivating for it.

She's all in on dinosaurs and color. Fake outrage annoys me.

Lunch ended up being mostly fine, and I volunteered for an upcoming long-range planning committee for the district. Thinking there needs to be a liberal or two keeping an eye on things...

TX allowing pastors as counselors is absolutely terrifying because many schools, including my own, have been relying on online counselors because no one will take the job. Or if they do they hold it for a few weeks before leaving. 100% ours will be religious next year since we are a charter with religious undertones already. We go because the ELA curriculum is Orton Gillingham based and its the only school in our area that uses OG so we did not choose it for religious reasons.

OG is such a great program and it sucks you don’t have any other options for it. Counselors being religious would be a a no-go for me, which would suck because my youngest really needs a quality school counselor in addition to other therapy. He has really big emotions and has benefited greatly from having a trusted counselor at school. I worry our state could go this same way, although I don’t see our district being on board with it.

I hate it here. Prayer is not counseling. Bible verses are not counseling. Like what in the actual fuck?! And I am a person who prays.
