Merry Christmas to meeeeee! @alixeharrow.bsky.social

There isn't a single problem "solved" by edtech that couldn't be fixed with smaller classes led by well-paid teachers given real academic freedom

On my walk to the hospital, in Fifeville primary roads look pretty good and secondary roads look pretty bad. And sidewalks are fairly slippery, even ones that have been cleared.

"The immigrants, who were already approved to be naturalized, were pulled from line due to their countries of origin."

If you’re looking for a story of powerful elites using state power to steal land, wreak havoc on the climate, and use narratives marginalizing out groups to reinforce their grip power only to be thrown out by a band of the common folk that make society great…you’re going to love Zootopia 2.

It was day 67 of the school year so buy every teacher you know a drink.

👇🏼 too bad CCS school board ignored all this evidence.

Took our K students to the central library today and their excitement over books and the beauty of the space was so lovely! Free field trips rock but if you’d like to sponsor a future trip for our babies… let me know ❤️

At UVA, we owe a lot to our own union @ucwva.bsky.social and @aaup.org who have helped organize and galvanize opposition to state and federal threats to academic freedom like the Compact

Hey Cville peeps: Starbucks union workers are ON STRIKE. Please go somewhere here else: we have LOTS of good locally owned coffee shops! Atlas Coffee, Grit, Cville Coffee, and JBird come to mind (not exhaustive, don’t @ me, but DO make other suggestions!).

Truly love that small town life means I can go on a run to the library to turn in my students’ library card applications so they will get cards on our field trip next week 📚 ❤️

I had the privilege of teaching @zysaidso.bsky.social in 3rd grade social studies. What a full circle moment to cast my vote and watch her win ❤️

good morning charlottesville!! what a lovely day to not vote for a school board candidate who promised to keep police out of schools and then voted in favor of it anyway, without robust data or engagement with the public!!

There is nothing funnier than watching my coworkers teach reading and math in full costumes. I love elementary school!

Today is a good day to make a donation to a food bank.

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP. Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP. The people who need help are not the problem. It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

This Chicago union boss endlessly provokes the right. She's about to expand her power. www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...

My kids were discussing the heist at the Louvre tonight so now of course we are watching Oceans 11. This movie is so good.

Just drive my kids through Southwood and then past Covenant and we did some googling of tuition. A real charlottesville experience.

My school went into lockdown at the end of the day. For almost 10 minutes, I stood against a wall with tears streaming down my face, holding the hand of our custodian, hoping my sister down the hall knows the lockdown protocol, and waiting for an all clear. Why the fuck do we have to live this way?

School board candidate forum… let’s goooo

Remember your why…

For today’s icebreaker we…

Can a custodian come…

📚🗳️👇🏼👇🏽

It’s a good day to bargain a contract!

5th st Food Lion is where the people are… saw two union presidents, a school board members, and some parents!

ACTION FOR ALBEMARLE CO residents: Do you think our teachers deserve a guaranteed lunch break? Or that when they retire, teachers s/b compensated for their *earned* unused sick days? Email the school board-say you support our school staff: [email protected] Info: tinyurl.com/AEABARGProp

Did someone make you wings at your job today? I love kindergarteners.

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

If you think our tax $ should be spent to pay school cafeteria staff a living wage (and not to put police in schools), you're our people! Join us tomorrow!

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

Union work is hard and frustrating a lot of days, but we had two big wins today including the reduction of police officers from 4 to 2 and the reversal of a classist work day policy. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Support our local CAT workers on Monday by showing up at City Council and telling them to fund our transit system! Full info here: tinyurl.com/4u9xane3 #SolidaritySeptember #WorkersOverBillionaires

Also listening to us after you already made a decision….

it’s not enough to provide listening sessions or “info hours” 😶 after you rush a vote. I refuse to subscribe to this idea that there is this silent majority driving this ship that no one has ever seen.

Listening to the school board presentation on the return of SROs, and one thing that caught my attention was that the process of getting the MOU in place is not up for further SB votes. Sure they'll have "listening" sessions but the school admin doesn't really have any checks on moving ahead

In case no one has told you today, no longer honoring those who fought for slavery isn’t erasure… it’s called making better decisions.

THIS.

www.29news.com/2025/09/02/c... 1000 people showed up to support workers rights yesterday! It was so encouraging.

I come from a union family: my dad was a Vietnam veteran and my mom was a teaching assistant and proud WEAC member. I saw firsthand how organized labor gave our family stability, dignity, and opportunity. Those values shaped who I am today.

On Labour Day let's give a shout out to all of the paid and unpaid workers who keep our world running on track. Who keep us well, fed, trains running on time, build our homes, care for our children. Let's thank unions for ensuring they are treated fairly and not exploited…

This country. 💔

Ditto for SRO’s.

last night i got to watch our school leadership pull a real local politics classic: acting like they want feedback from the public while desperately trying to avoid receiving feedback from the public. proud of everybody who showed up and gave it to them anyway 😘

This “Let’s Talk about it” event was 2 hours. Only 20 minutes were given to the people who showed up to actually talk. In a “small group” of over 30. The rest of the time we were talked AT.

In case you need a reminder of why we are in this SRO situation and who should be held accountable. #November

Happy first day of school!!
