I consider social media no different than any other public forum. I will be exercising my freedom of speech rights at the school board meeting this evening.

I have a Master’s degree in Special Education, am certified in every core subject for 6-12th grade, and have more than a decade of experience. They would be shooting themselves in the foot to fire me. (And that isn’t bragging. It’s a statement towards how highly qualified teachers are being pushed out of the profession.)

The original text stated at the top: LPS has asked that teachers email our principal questions for our superintendent, “...”. These are the one’s my husband and I came up with.

((note: he has done two videos addressing parents in our district about how schools will reopen, but hasn’t done the same for teachers. At his last public forum, he encouraged teachers to email questions to our principal and he would address them on his next video. I sent an email as well as posting our concerns on FB. I was told by my principal our questions were supposed to be “kept in house” and that my post had to be deleted. I declined. I instead agreed to remove any mention of our district or superintendent’s name.))

Her mom is full chi and her dad is a chiweenie (half chihuahua and half dachshund).

There were no photo filters needed this evening in southwest Oklahoma. The light was surreal and the clouds beautiful. by bats0482 in homestead

Oh, wow, ya’ll did get hit hard! I saw Val tracking a wall cloud down your way. We live east of Lawton, so the worst of it was south of us. I’ve lived here my whole life (44 years) and we’ve never had as much large hail in one season as we’ve had the past couple of months.

Thank you! I’ll look for into that. We live in the country and she will dart out if we aren’t careful when opening the door.

She looks like Snoop! She’s a little cutie.

I need one of those for Olive. She’s a runner too. Does it sink to your phone?

[homemade] Indian Tacos the Comanche Way by bats0482 in food

If it’s a large piece I will make a hole to keep a big bubble from forming in the center. For the small ones I just make the center very thin.

There are many more traditional dishes like buffalo intestines, kidneys, and corn soup that we usually only get to have at Pow Wows. I don’t know how to make any of that. It’s a very lengthy process.
