Education nerd and gadfly. Maybe it’s showtunes, maybe it’s brown rage, but it’s always APA style and spicy AF.

I’m in Oklahoma. I’m a teacher, spec-fic nerd, and a believer in the power of people to do great things and to build a better future. Bob Linn is a highly influential media personality here and in the radical Christian Right. He said the quiet part out loud here: www.facebook.com/share/r/1As1...
I’m running for local municipal office here, because I believe it’s important to preserve our stake in democracy. As we fall, so does the belief of other places and people in democracy. We are still the experiment—a democracy, if we can keep it. www.shaiforward5.com
Failing to stage a coup in the US, republicans decided instead to attack a sovereign nation with shiny things our oligarchs want. Hold to your memory Of sixth January Insurrection and mob You’ll need your reason For the January treason Was always an inside job. www.npr.org/2026/01/05/n...
It’s know-how. Understanding the science does actually help you cook and improve your cooking based on results. I cheat and use gravity to keep my bird juicy. Cook it breast side down for 2/3 cook time, then flip it to finish. I also use a force butter on/under skin and cavity. Butter/olive mix.
the “thanksgiving food is bad” discourse raises its ugly head every year, but the truth remains that thanksgiving food can be amazing as long as you know how to cook. the problem is we’re throwing a few million sunday drivers directly into a grand prix
Dear Leader's Favorite Son will be loved as long as he is useful. Just like Dear Leader's Favorite Wife--rotting in the tall weeds on his tax-writeoff golf course.
one thing about this is that in the wake of all of this kirk is basically forgotten. he was barely cold in the ground before his allies — before his *wife* — started scheming over what they could take for themselves. a real life parable.
The process of dissertation writing ends in a ton of navel gazing. I hope you find the kind of value in Dr. Crouch that I have--I'm writing about being a secondary English teacher in Oklahoma, and his writing about post-democracy hit me like a hammer in the gut. www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-oc...
Hey #gardening We were right about dirt being good for you!
British and Australian chemists have discovered a powerful new antibiotic called pre-methylenomycin C lactone, hiding in a well-known soil bacterium. This molecule kills drug-resistant bacteria without triggering resistance. buff.ly/YlXaONo #ShareGoodNewsToo
One of the many reasons I adore Oscar Issac. I use this performance of his on Letters Live to talk about purpose in writing to my little nerdlings. www.youtube.com/watch?v=kVIx...

This is cool. COURIER has created a searchable database with all 20,000 of the files just released from Epstein’s estate. Trump's name appears in them more than anyone else, in 1,628 documents. couriernewsroom.com/news/we-crea...

Centrist Dems will save nobody from anything and I officially have every incentive to reject and replace every damn one of them. They’re going to toast marshmallows in the oven flames and say it at least smells like barbecue. Get. Them. Out.
This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful. Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened. This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

The first thing that made me love this country was that aging titan lying in a field at the Johnson Space Center. This man is the enemy of hope and human excellence. He is therefore my enemy also—because I love my country.
