And it’s wild because it doesn’t have to be this way 😭🫠

POV: The company behind one of several apps you’ve been told is *required to use for your child’s full participation in school is asking you to *consent to their new privacy policy. It has 10 different sections, links to 5 other supporting notices, and takes 2.5 minutes just to scroll through…

Not the distraction I wanted but a distraction nonetheless.

So if everyone vote Option 4 then what?

I’ve decided I need to explicitly teach students how to make, label, & title tables & write table notes Therefore, I am asking for donations I need: 🤦‍♀️tables that suck 🏆tables that shine ☑️tables that once sucked & now shine Drop me a screenshot or DM & I will produce a nice resource for all of us

NEW: Fifteen laws in 11 states that could immunize the fossil fuel industry from climate-related legal claims have either been passed or are being debated. Many bills are part of a coordinated effort by groups linked to right-wing activist Leonard Leo.

Phantom was my team but I’m happy for a lot of the Mist players too. A truly fun season overall 💚

All you have is your neighbor. All your neighbor has is you.

Posting this without sharing the name was a very 7am action 😂 The project is called Climbing Sideways! And while she's not on Bluesky yet, you can find her on Insta, YouTube, and anywhere you stream podcasts.

Other educators ask me about my career journey a lot. Well, I got to be a guest on my friend's cool new podcast and talk about it 💙 A clip from the episode, "It All Starts With Community," that dropped today!

Me: I need y’all to pray for me to find the patience of my ancestors @niqfury.com : I suspect your ancestors weren't patient 🤭 —- Everyone needs a friend like them 💀😂

#Edusky friends, there are a lot of critical conversations that need to happen around AI Accountability and Ethics in the classroom right now. If you’re an educator interested in leading those discussions in your community, please consider applying! pulitzercenter.org/blog/apply-n...

Skyline poll! Were you taught about gangs or gang violence as part of the curriculum in grade school? If so, which class, and what town/city were you in (if you don’t mind sharing)?

time to have a big glass of red wine and post a series of overly niche hot takes

I'm gonna repeat my comment. Talking about nonexistent "super intelligent" machines is like talking about the Cookie Monster rather than corporations creating real things causing harm. A non existent machine god bringing apocalypse or utopia is a framing that is harmful. Period.

BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide. This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.

People can say it’s utopian or dreamy but it’s a fact that you have to believe new things are possible, fundamentally, in order to make them real. You have to make the choice to believe that more than this is possible & not be resigned to this being the way things have to be because it’s not at all.

🧵1/2 : Yesterday, VA quietly issued an interim final rule that immediately changes how veterans’ disability ratings are evaluated: no notice, no explanation, no debate. Trump's VA Secretary Collins did not consult VSOs or Congress before acting.

My 7YO has been pushing me to get her to soccer earlier and earlier each week so she can steal time on the field before class actually starts and that’s how you know your kid really loves a sport, huh?

At the end of my event today, one of the teachers said “I have so much to ponder about teaching and life now” And my impulsive response was “Omg that’s my job! That’s what I get paid to do.” and now I’m truly considering making it my bio everywhere. 😂

Two of my best friends are friends from high school. The internet helped us stay generally aware of one another through college and then adult life brought us back together in more meaningful ways. Truly grateful to the universe for that one 💜

In 2021, Boyoung was working at the @pulitzercenter.org when I applied for a grant to work on a series called “AI Colonialism.” Little did I know that the series would form the thesis of my book – and the inspiration for its title. www.technologyreview.com/supertopic/a...

This is such a beautiful show of friendship and collaboration ❤️ So much of Pulitzer Center’s AI Accountability work was shaped by Boyoung and Karen’s combined genius. I’m absolutely thrilled to see it come full circle here!

So excited for this session. Hope I see some #edusky friends on Monday!

Well, this was about Lifetouch and they 1) Still haven’t deleted them 2) Are still sending me emails trying to get me to buy them

I really need that Cafe Con Ron Remix. It brought such joy!

This song "Yo Perreo Sola" is an anthem about women's right to throw ass in the club without men creeping on them

The fact that the sugar cane was portrayed by actual people might have been just practical, but it adds to the symbolism. I need to lie down tomorrow and just think about the art.

Bad Bunny!!!
