MP says dyslexia is a "cruel fiction" invented to cover up bad teaching. Yeah? How about you get a ladder and jump up my ass, sir.

Can I get some recommendations for good tai chi or yoga DVDs/videos? I'll trade suggestions for epic cat cuteness.

Samwise, our gray tabby who came to the door and claimed us.

Gracie the new addition, being cute. Mauling imminent in 3, 2, 1...

Weejo, my parents' cat, with her ill gotten straw still in her mouth. "O HAI, why you takes mah picture?"

Gratuitous cat snuggling! They clean each other, too.

I'd also like to know why so many politicians and laypeople are so damned ready to assume that they know more about my job than I do. I mean, clearly, I don't have, oh, I don't know, any specialized training in a particular field or professional experience or anything. Clearly, just anyone could do my job.

Ugh, WORD. There's this sense that teaching is a dumping ground for those who can't do anything else, instead of a SKILL and an art. I can't imagine how frustrating that must be.
