My phone just auto corrected "trauma dumping" to "trauma dumpling," so I painted this in case anyone would like a visual of my mental state. How's everyone else doing?

You better fucking be right, fortune cookie

A reader reminds me of the @usatoday.com "fact check" that claimed it was false that Project 2025 was a Trump project. Seems like something they'd be a touch embarrassed about now? eu.usatoday.com/story/news/f...

They’ll have to do it between breaths ..

The Texas education beat, brought to you by Sephora

Us…

There you have it. Texas is the first state to officially offer up their state for the concentration camps

I see that we've surpassed international laughingstock and achieved galactic laughingstock.

While some high profile media types are flailing on the eve of Trump 2.0, there are a number of news outlets vowing to continue doing fearless reporting. I highlight a number of these brave, relentless efforts in this new piece for @heartlandsignal.bsky.social. ⤵️ heartlandsignal.com/2024/11/19/o...

Bullshit. If I had wanted power, I would have kept my mouth shut. I preferred my conscience.

"Any thoughts on the icon for the back cover?" Me: Oh, how about a quill with dragon wings? On a treasure map? Wing span matters.

All of this.

The promise of $10k per family if the Department of Education is eliminated sounds good—until you realize it’s far from enough. Private schools average $12–13k a year (and that’s if they even accept your child.) Homeschooling? You’ll get $1k, but it costs roughly up to $1,800 per year.

If men could get pregnant, we'd probably see drive-thru for vasectomy reversals by now. Just a thought.

When you need an electorate dumb enough to believe that migrants are eating their dogs and kids are getting sex changes at school… it makes sense to go to war on colleges.

Unanimously, they say💌

We are almost at capacity in this starter pack! Everyone now left to be added will be added to Education Scholars Part II! If I didn’t add you to first one & you want to be added reply to to post! #EducationScholars go.bsky.app/H3QkVDR

Cursive writing and curriculum studies share roots in the Latin currere (to run), symbolizing flow and continuity. William Pinar’s currere frames curriculum as a reflective journey of knowledge, aligning with cursive’s rhythmic thought-to-hand motion.

😂can relate

Those high birth rates were meant to compensate for high rates of infant mortality — even in 1930s Britain, about 1 in 10 children died before 5. That said, I guess RFK Jr will return us to that glorious pre-vaccine age, and finally Elon’s obsession with birth rates will make sense

for non-dummies plato.stanford.edu/entries/tole... tolerance is a virtue of liberalism, but properly understood it requires reciprocity the vegetarian and the omnivore can co-exist with each other neither can co-exist with the cannibal

For an incredibly in-depth view of what's going on, I REALLY recommend this podcast by @andrewtorrez.bsky.social and @lizdye.bsky.social. I don't know these folks, but they have completely sussed all of this out and I don't know how. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/e...

Blind allegiance undermines democracy. Supporting a leader should mean belief in their platform, not unconditional loyalty. Democracy thrives on accountability, debate, and critique. Unquestioning support risks authoritarianism; democracy demands active, critical engagement for collective progress.

Amazing work, NPR. I'm sure the sounds of iron lungs whirring away will go great with a soft bassoon intro when Morning Edition covers the "political headwinds" of a polio resurgence.

…I’m sorry I just can’t 😂

Streisand Effect: Basically the louder you scream ‘Don’t look!’ the faster the internet grabs popcorn and says, ‘Oh, we’re looking now.’ Streisand taught us well.

Awesome starter pack for those of you in critical ed circles.

Pure comedy gold.

I used to fear being bound by my words, worried they'd box me in. Now I write with sincerity, knowing it reflects who I am in the moment, not forever. Growth is part of the process—and yes, I reserve the right to evolve, contradict, or laugh at myself later.

Common sense (?) Preventive medicine is one of humanity’s most incredible achievements since the 18th century. From Edward Jenner’s smallpox vaccine to today’s innovations in vaccines, screenings, and public health, preventive medicine has shaped the trajectory of human health like nothing else.

Oh well.

Let me say something that is controversial because our brains are broken: Vaccines are a miracle and amazing

Forced birth in a country with: —No universal healthcare —No universal childcare —No paid family & medical leave —One of the highest rates of maternal mortality among rich nations This isn't about "life." It's about control.
