Y’all mad Janelle Monáe went back to the 70s to see Bowie perform like she hijacked a DeLorean 😭 but when the orange man wilds out every week y’all be like “let’s not rush to judgment.” Be serious. #JanelleMonae #DavidBowie #Trump #BackToTheFoolery

I’ve learned: my job is to bring my full skill set and wisdom to the table. It’s not my job to make others ready to receive it.

me: says exactly what i mean neurotypical: reads between the lines me: why is this suddenly a choose-your-own-adventure book #nuerodivergentsky #bluesky

“Your student can’t read because parents aren’t reading at home” ≠ reality. Bedtime stories = exposure. Learning to read = explicit phonics instruction. Please stop conflating the two. That’s the post. 😅 #Teachersky #Literacysky #Edusky #Literacycky

This whole “healthy snack” policy at school really irritates the causation vs. correlation part of my brain like, Karen, Timmy didn’t ace his math test because he had carrot sticks, he just happens to learn the math standard and likes crunching loudly #TeacherLife #Edusky #EduHumorsky #Parentingsky

Trump’s National Guard plan is exactly why I don’t mess with folks who swear “these kids are bad.” If the stats say all crime is down then teen crime is down too no matter how many scary montages the news runs. Spoiler: “per capita” ain’t a type of coffee. #CrimeStats #DC #MathIsMath

Been saying for years that crime is down, but apparently I was just a sweet, clueless optimist. Now Trump wants to “fix” D.C., and ABC News is like, “Wow, look at these numbers!” Oh, so now math is real? #CrimeStats #DC #FactsMatter #PoliticalConvenience

Leave it to the creators of @SouthPark for calling out the podcast pandemic we been living in- we are sick of all these Cartmans running around. #podcast #southparkseason27 #SouthPark

Not me tearing up because I won’t be able to listen to Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me on Saturday mornings due to the evil orange man #npr #waitwaitdonttellme #ihateithere

can’t believe they made a whole musical about a man who stalks his ex-wife by impersonating an elderly Scottish nanny and everyone said “aww.” mrs. doubtfire is peak custody violation. #MusicalTheatre #MrsDoubtfire #WhatAreWeDoing #FamilyCourtTheMusical

Funny how a woman brings up potential harm from a man and the redpill guy calls her dramatic …then a war with Iran pops off and suddenly he’s a geopolitical scholar with anxiety praising the cheeto man for his machismo #War #WW3 #redpill #divest #politicssky

Imagine hating Kamala so bad you voted for Trump, binge-watched red pill podcasts, and now there’s a whole war. Congrats on being the most patriotic doomer alive. #War #polticssky #WW3 #facepalm

So I was busy doomscrolling and BAM somehow the algorithm figured out that I am educator taking me down the rabbit-hole of teacher "content". Check out my substack to learn more. substack.com/@anomalysoul... #substack #edusky #teachersky #doomscrolling

Is it weird that my whole life I’ve dreamed of going to Lester’s Possum Park? #agoofymovie

Hilarious that my first message back on this app is about DJ Akademiks giving “can I get a hug?” vibes. Meanwhile I’m buried in a chapter proposal, apathy, and Muppet reruns. #Academicsky #MuppetMood #DeadlineDelirium #ChapterProposal #TwitterBreaks #ThisIsResearch #AkademiksEnergy

DJ Akademiks gives “can I get a hug?” energy like a middle schooler who just found out you like someone else during 7th period lunch and send you creepy AIM messages while you’re away. #DJAkademiks #MiddleSchoolVibes #CanIGetAHug #AwkwardEnergy #CringeChronicles #LunchTableTears #InternetWeirdos

I’ll never understand the appeal of podcasters with no credentials confidently sharing half-baked theories. Just because he says it in a deep voice over lo-fi beats doesn’t mean it’s profound. It’s not wisdom—it’s Wordle for people who hate reading. #podcast #halfbaked #deepthought

...

This government keeps making “mistakes” like “accidentally” giving billions to their friends and “accidentally” forgetting poor people exist can’t wait for them to “accidentally” resign #OopsieDaisyDictatorship #MistakeOrJustTuesday #KeepTheLoot

Trump’s tariff policy came from a China book Jared didn’t read, written by Peter Navarro, who made up a fake expert called Ron Vara — which is just Navarro playing Scrabble with himself. The whole thing reads like Mad Libs for fascists. #Politicsky #Econosky #OopsAllGrifters #BlueskyAfterDark

Tried to write about Black joy as resistance in my dissertation. Chair said “not enough research.” Fast forward — chair sees journal call + remembers my idea. Guess there’s research now. Joy + pain, full circle. Read it. #edusky #teachersky #academicsky #BlackJoy #FullCircle #Scholarship

Y’all worried about Black men not going to college, but white men are getting degrees and still voting for Trump. What y’all learning in there “Intro to Fragile Masculinity” or “Fail Upward Capstone”? #HigherEdForReal # #NoNotes #BlueSkyHumor #TrendingNow #Edusky #Academicsky

I’m proud of Wisconsin for showing up but what a privilege it is to almost lose democracy just to realize what’s at stake. We been voting like the house is on fire because, well, it is. Shoutout to the 92% of Black women who always knew. #WeBeenKnew #ProudButTired #92PercentStrong #WisconsinCameThru

He wanted to restore merit and eliminate DEI… and then added a journalist to the national security group chat like it was a potluck flyer. Meritocracy is wild when your only qualification is vibes. #GroupChatGate #SkyPolitics #NoDEIJustDIY #MeritocracyAtWork #YouHadOneJob

@maddow.msnbc.com are you following the post by the new DOE on linkedin? The irony of this rebrand whilst trying to dismantle the same department is comical. #DOE #Edusky #educators

Teachers who profit off content like “these kids can’t read” instead of explaining their pedagogy grind my gears. You’re not raising awareness—you’re reinforcing deficit narratives for clicks. Be serious. #edusky #teachersky #educators

Growing up is realizing Miranda Hillard was right in Mrs. Doubtfire. That bum quit his job, turned their house into a zoo, stalked her, & tried to kill her bf. They had the audacity to make it a musical like Mamma Mia instead of Dateline. #MrsDoubtfire #JusticeForMiranda #BroadwayWhatAreWeDoing

People who haven’t studied education debating education policy is like people who’ve never cooked arguing about how to run a restaurant—except the restaurant feeds every single kid in the country. #Edusky #Scholarsky #education #departmentofed #doe

Panera really be out here charging $15 for a sandwich that tastes like disappointment and regret. I’m not going to a restaurant to season my own food—this ain’t BYOSeasoning. Y’all still eating there or have we healed? #PaneraOrPenance #SaltIsNotAFlex #MidEra #Panerasky

Explaining government 101: A mandate or executive order can’t change the law—just like I can’t declare my student loans ‘forgiven’ and expect Sallie Mae to agree. Nice try, though. #CivicsMatters #stateofthepeople

I’ll never forget the time my ex tried to say the Black woman who got hired over him was just a DEI hire… even though sis had way more credentials than him. Like Rep. Jasmine Crockett said, “If you are competent you are not concerned.” #BlackWomenLead #DEI #StayMad #CompetenceSpeaks

I’ll never forgive y’all for voting for this reality with donald trump two times in a row—i can’t even make this funny. #politics #elections #polisky

Next time someone at work starts talking loud but saying nothing, I’m hitting them with that Zelenskyy special: ‘You’re raising your voice but not the logic of your argument.’ Then I’m walking away like I dropped the mic. 🎤 #Leadership #WorkLife #LogicOverLoud #MicDrop #ZelenskyyQuotes #edusky

Working in a school with a resting bitch face and neurospiciness is wild—why are the other teachers the ones always asking me to smile? Ma’am, we are in the trenches together. Focus up. #RBFAndThriving #edusky

Harriet the Spy had me thinking I was an investigative journalist at age 9, snooping on neighbors with a notebook. RIP Michelle Trachtenberg—your Harriet fueled a generation of nosy kids with trust issues. #HarrietTheSpy #ripmichelletrachenberg

Hostility to critical race theory is indicative of a broader assault on critical thinking.

Silicon Valley tech bros be like: ‘We created this platform to foster free speech and connect the world!’ Meanwhile, society is crumbling, misinformation is rampant, and democracy is on life support. But sure, tell me more about your kombucha startup. #TechBroLogic #morningthoughts

If RFK Jr. can lead Health and Human Services, then anything is possible. Meanwhile, with my Ph.D., I’m in a school helping teachers decode data reports that might as well be written in hieroglyphics. Truly, we are living in wild times. #EducationReality #AnythingIsPossible #SendHelp #RFK

Kendrick Lamar hot takes are cool, but if you really got the message, how are you turning the TV off and revolutionizing—despite the wrong guy being in office? Y’all missed the assignment. #TheHeartPart6 #ReadBetweenTheLines #StayWoke #bootsontheground #grassroots

NIH: ‘We support diversity in research!’ Also NIH: Deletes grant applications from minority researchers Academic Hunger Games just got a new sponsor. 🏆🔬 #NIH #ResearchFunding #DEI

Trump railing against government spending while attending the Super Bowl is peak irony. Nothing says ‘fiscal responsibility’ like luxury box seats at a multi-billion dollar event. #SuperBowl #Trump #FiscalResponsibility

I couldn’t even show a teacher a literacy resource to give to parents the other day- time to go into hyper mode downloading everything. #teachercoach #literacymatters #edusky #fightthepower

The ability to say ‘just let people enjoy fiction’ while ignoring its political context is a privilege in itself. Some of us don’t get to opt out—because the politics in those pages reflect the realities we live every day. Must be nice to treat literature like a theme park ride. 🎢📚

🚨 BREAKING: Trump’s “CRT Hunt” stormed K-12 schools to uncover…*nothing*. Agents confiscated 12 ‘woke’ crayons (Burnt Sienna is “too radical”) & declared playground tag “problematic.” Spox: “Glitter glue is next.” #WheresTheCRT #BurntSiennaIsCancelled 🖍️🔍 #crtisntink12ed #teachersky #edusky #satire

Me, an instructional coach, personally escorting Lucy Calkins’ curriculum to the trash where it belongs—because it’s banned in my state and she’s getting sued. A two-for-one special. 🗑️ #CurriculumCleanup #ByeLucy #LiteracyMatters #teachersky #elasky

Just watched a British news correspondent on Morning Joe say that American news has too much opinion and not enough news… then immediately give their opinion instead of facts. The irony is colonial. #MorningJoe #NewsOrNah #TeaAndHypocrisy

These last two weeks and the election proved Americans skipped watching ‘The Dark Crystal.’ If more had watched, they’d spot a Skeksis when they see one. #DarkCrystal #Skeksis #2024Election

Instead of calling it ‘voter remorse,’ let’s come up with some Trump-specific terms. How about: • MAGAret • Trumpgret • The Art of the Regret • Apprentice’s Remorse Got any better ideas? Share them below! #trump #votersremorse #magaret

Book bans are a textbook example of DARVO in action: deny the harm, attack educators/librarians, & reverse victim and offender by claiming to ‘protect’ children while silencing marginalized voices. Accountability means calling out these tactics and defending access to knowledge. #edusky #booksky
