	Sometimes, once-in-a-lifetime chances are more important than school and you have to take the risk of a hit to your education.

	Or your child's education.

	That is what award-winning Austin-based lawyer Karen Vladeck did when she wrote her daughter a leave-of-absence note to her daughter's 1st grade teacher. You see, Vladeck and her daughter had scored the impossible to get tickets to Taylor Swift's Eras Tour.
Vladeck shared the note on Twitter. 
\u201cI actually sent it. Let\u2019s see how she responds.\u201d

In the note, Vladeck makes a ton of references to Swift songs hoping the teacher was also a fan of Taylor Swift.

	Luckily the teacher was also a Swiftie—as fans of Taylor Swift call themselves—and the note made her "ENTIRE DAY."
Vladeck's husband's response was less warm, however.
\u201cWell let\u2019s hope her reaction is better than my husband\u2019s\u201d

        1680622506
Other people's reactions were more like the teacher's. 
For example, many other Swiftie teachers said they would have been delighted with the note.
\u201c@KSVesq @LissaJoStewart @taylorswift13 as a teacher i would be like Yes enjoy and send pics and vid\u2019s !\u201d

\u201c@KSVesq @taylorswift13 As a Swiftie and a teacher, I 100% approve. \n\nNone of my students missed school though. I did. \u201cIt\u2019s me, hi, I\u2019m the problem, it\u2019s me.\u201d \ud83d\ude02\u201d

        1680622506
Many Swifties in the comments got in on the game of references to Swift's songs.

\u201c@KSVesq @taylorswift13 Eh, it\u2019s just one day of school; I\u2019m sure the teacher can Shake It Off.\u201d

        1680622506
Other parents wrote in with examples of events they took their kids too after requesting leave-of-absences.
\u201c@KSVesq @taylorswift13 One year when the San Francisco Giants won the world series, we called school to say our two boys would not attend so we could go to the victory parade. The school thanked us for our honesty as half the class called in sick. Good luck.\u201d
 — KSV Eras Era (@KSV Eras Era)
        1680622506

\u201c@KSVesq @taylorswift13 I once sent a similarly humorous absence note. I was later told that his teacher found it so clever that she forwarded it around amongst her colleagues.\u201d
 — KSV Eras Era (@KSV Eras Era)
        1680622506
Finally, other people commented on the difference between the teacher's reaction and Vladeck's husband's response.
\u201c@KSVesq @taylorswift13 Just brilliant!! Loved the difference between your husband\u2019s and the teacher\u2019s response! From another legal-mummy of a young girl-Swiftie herself \u2026 kudos! \ud83d\udc4f\ud83c\udffb\u201d

An AI-generated image showed the pop star in a dramatic gown, and a parody account on X claimed she was wearing a new kind of fabric called “Lustratex,” made by Mugler. They even posted a fake sketch of the dress and said Vogue had reported on it.

	Political satirist and YouTube star Randy Rainbow is at it again, this time channeling the fairy godmother from Cinderella in a biting new musical parody video that mocks President Donald Trump's "incompetent" Cabinet officials.
Rainbow opens his latest video not with a mock interview of Trump, as is his usual style, but with Trump’s Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, and immediately presses Hegseth about his reported use of multiple Signal group chats to discuss sensitive military matters:

Massachusetts Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren criticized Education Secretary Linda McMahon for paying tribute to educators during "Teacher Appreciation Week," noting the hypocrisy of McMahon's actions as she honors teachers on one hand and works to dismantle the Department of Education on the other.
In March, President Donald Trump signed an executive order empowering McMahon “to the maximum extent appropriate and permitted by law, take all necessary steps to facilitate the closure of the Department of Education and return authority over education to the States and local communities.”

	New York Republican Representative Mike Lawler has angered his own constituents after he had a woman dragged out of his town hall for pressing him on his loyalty to President Donald Trump.

	Emily Feiner, whose Bluesky profile describes her as a Jewish retired social worker and mother of two, later shared that she "was certainly no threat" and that she "asked my congressperson what his red line was to finally, vocally oppose the lawless administration and he didn’t answer the question, so I called out for him to answer it and he had me removed."
