For #ErasTourToronto #Swifties wanting advice on standing room only seats: I was in #TheCatch for Toronto N2 and it was an unreal place to watch the show. It’s on the 100 level so you’re pretty close to the stage and not looking out and down. (1/45)

The Catch is beside the top of the stage, but you can see her on the screens. Other than that, she was to totally visible for the whole show. If you are able to stand for the duration of the show (I would have been anyway!), The Catch is a great place to be. #ErasTourToronto

Photos from my spot. The last one you can see how much space there was between people and I was standing the “furthest” back I was all night. No sweat.

TFW you’ve been tracking queues and travelled across the country to be in the best possible place to land a ticket and all three of your verified fan Ticketmaster accounts are continually blocked from even standing in line to buy. 😭😵‍💫

Just wondering @Ticketmaster @TMFanSupport: why, even though I am a registered and verified fan, can I not access the new Toronto queue for the Eras Tour?

Tried all my verified fan accounts and wasn’t able to get in the queue for Toronto today— keeping my fingers crossed for other drops @swiftieswanttix

Help a millennial Swiftie out? I don’t have a cute “I want this so badly so my kid can have a special birthday” story. I’m just an OG fan who has never been to a show and is dying to go…flying across the country on a hope! @taylornation13 @taylorswift13 @erastourticketz

I just crossed a long-standing novel off my to-read bucket list. Life of Pi was earth-shattering and beautiful and tragic. I loved every page flip.

I’ve had a week where being a feeling, faulted human doesn’t always align with the demands of being a teacher…and tomorrow is already Sunday again. I’ll be channeling Rosie the Riveter to make it to Easter. #justcallmeRosie #tired

Looking forward to some restful sleep after a night of stressing over my first @SWATCA session. But it was fun though!

Hey SW AB teachers: you are cordially invited to my first ever #SWATCA session next Thursday. I’m slightly terrified it will just be me standing in a room by myself and my fear of rejection is crippling.

I had a #Wordle streak of 101 days and when I went to play this morning it had reset, even though I could open the tab where I played yesterday and see I didn’t miss a day. I am devastated.

I did a lesson with my students where I brought back word work with decoding Greek and Latin prefixes, roots, and suffixes. The kids were floored that they could approach vocabulary in this way. I was floored they didn’t know. My take: cueing sucks and we need to shift… now

Tomorrow is my last day of maternity leave. Excited as I am to see my other kids again, the sting of leaving my baby is layers deep. I am going to ache for her throughout the day. I mean look at her. She’s perfection.

I am coming off maternity leave next week, and this is just a FYI that even though I have taught all 4 courses before I have still spent about 15 hours preparing them. That’s just for long range & unit plans, course outlines and one day of lessons. #teachersworkhard
