When I used to teach high school English, this particular week was always dedicated to rhetorical strategies because of Superbowl Sunday. So, now it’s your turn to learn all about ethos, pathos, and logos! Yayy!!!

Ghosting
To all of the People I’ve ever Ghosted,
Unfortunately, my lack of text response over time has cost me quite a few relationships. So, I wanted to post a public apology to anyone who ever wrote to me without a reply.
But Then I Got High
“Ataxia sucks. Weed makes it suck less.” I once read that on a Support Group page and still think about it far more than I should. Can’t recall who said it, but I love the simplistic accuracy of it. Thanks, friend.
Short Story Time
Okay my people who “don’t read books” – this one’s for you!
Or maybe you do enjoy reading, you just don’t have time for it. I hear ya.
Welcome to the glorious world of short stories! I’ve actually, honestly, always favored this genre… Somehow these authors create entire worlds with characters and issues that are suspensefully resolved within just a few pages. The fact that these plots can captivate readers so quickly is amazing.
SCA Q&A
In 2019, the school I taught at reinstated March as “Inclusion Month” – a month filled with speakers and fundraisers and events to promote the acceptance, respect, and inclusion of all individuals. So, in light of this, I took a couple of days to do something a bit different in my classroom. (What? I wasn’t actively test prepping!? It’s okay, I’m no longer a teacher.)
I said to my students, “The best way to learn about something is to ask questions, right? Now, part of Inclusion Month is learning about disabilities so you can better include people who have them. And lucky for you, you all personally know someone with a disability whom you can ask questions!”
