On our half-day today,we are watching G Willow Wilson’s inspiring Ted Talk on creating Ms Marvel, the importance of seeing ourselves in our heroes, and being bold. Also - the new Poison Ivy annual is absolute fire - parallels the Arthurian legends in a new and beautiful way. A must read. @gwillow.me

I think I'm pretty objective when it comes to DWTS and dances from celebs I don't like but at the end of the day DWTS will never just be about dancing for me because between Alix and Robert I think I enjoyed more Alix dances but am I happier with Robert winning because of their personalities? Yes

Today the ATM took 400 of my dollars, said it was returning the cash because it couldn't accept more cash, didn't do that, then I got a receipt wherein the robot basically said "Oopsies. Money gone. 🤷🏼‍♀️" How's your Saturday?

Children certified in Gemini, a product that amplifies bias, misinformation, and environmental degradation? K-12 schools should ignore this and encourage kids to think past the genAI hype.

Sometimes teaching and coaching is really challenging. And sometimes the middle schoolers will spontaneously start doing the chicken dance in public. So it all balances out.

What's happening with the White House construction projects?

She just started her official campaigning today. I know that 3rd party politicians typically have thrown a wrench into recent elections, but I'm curious to see how this plays out in a state like Tennessee. Need to do a lot more research on her. Anyone have any info about her?

I’m relaunching my newsletter as a shared space with @olivalejandra.bsky.social and Lauren Pinkston called The Injustice Report: Reporting that bends the arc of justice. injusticereport.substack.com/p/the-injust... We’ll report on community stories of how unjust policies affect real people.

I know someone who also went thru this treatment & it gave them their life back, but in her case she was selected for a clinical trial, so treatment was free. Otherwise, this treatment is largely inaccessible: hard to find in North America & cost OP $17k w/in span of 10 weeks

When “Toy Story” hit theaters in 1995, it ushered in a tide of CGI films that very rapidly became the rule, not the exception, our critic writes. “Now that artificial visuals have been perfected, we have impressive films and new feats of animation, but a different set of industry values.”

New from me: I talked to CDC staffers about the new vaccines and autism page. They said things like: “The best way I can put it is it feels like we’re on a hijacked airplane.” “I think people are starting to see that we can’t fulfill our mission here.”

Went to see the (public) school play last night & was reminded for the umpteenth time: theater programs keep kids alive.

Reposting for the evening crew. Any insight? Looks like it's organized by Envision, which is a for-profit organization, which, at least, on the surface looks to have a decent mission.

My random bathtub thought for tonight. I should start this off with saying I'm not on TikTok at all. The only time I see anything from TT is on IG. I'm also not a video girl, I don't scroll through all sorts of reels, or stories. I like to read my social media. Tonight Ben and Zara popped up in my+

Announcement: If you teach an American Government course, you should be prepared for QUESTIONS today. This email drop has taken ahold of the students as hard as anything since January 6. They caught me all the way off-guard.

The car system is terrible for all but the very rich.

Teaching continues to be really hard — for almost everyone I know. I'm exhausted & bored with the repetition of my own daily, "Should I stay or should I go?" anxieties. My early Monday morning epiphany: I can't answer this question well without abandoning the old, "teaching as a vocation" nonsense.

Ok it's late so we probably can't get into this tonight BUT tomorrow, can we talk about this standard? "By the end of Grade 3, know from memory all products of two one-digit numbers." (Last sentence of 3.OA.C.7) What does this mean to you?

(Did I still have some people who I only got to talk to for the first time? Of course, but, being on the other side of that, I'm so grateful for teachers who already tried to reach out.)

It's parent-teacher conference season here! As I tell people, the best time to have reached out to families and communities was the first month of the year. The second best time is now. As a teacher, I found that parent-teacher conferences were more efficient as a follow-up, not as an introduction.

You were incredible, Alice Wong, and it was a blessing to have collaborated with you on projects, to have read your words and to have heard your voice, as full of life and passion and joy and rage as it was. You made a difference—so much of a difference. Rest always in peace, and always in power.
