In a state department of education zoom meeting and the host just encouraged us teachers to "check AI for help". Um, no ma'am. Just no. #edusky #teacher

So smol and mighty 🥹🥹

Day 2 of zoom meetings where people merely read the slides. Please, just give me the slides. I can read, I promise. #edusky #teachinglicense

Every time I must take an accelerated course, I want to direct the instructors & curriculum designers to Mr. Larry Green, retired biology professor. I took an intensive 5 week biology class with him 2010, & to this day, the best organized, designed, & taught class I've ever encountered. #edusky

Members of the American Diabetes Association were forcibly removed from the annual meeting for distributing an editorial critical of Trumpian policy. 😳

As a Type 1 Diabetic, I wish Id had this when first diagnosed as a tiny kid, because it certainly would have helped me understand the reasoning behind controlling my blood sugars! #t1d #diabetes

Serving some major squeeee 😱🥹🥰 ⁠ This adorable baby is the eryoneicus larval stage of a deep-sea lobster. These fuzzy globs float and feed in the water column until they're ready to change into juvenile lobsters and settle on the seafloor. This larva is about two inches long. You're welcome. 😍

@drshante.bsky.social just found and watched your video "Literacy is the New Class Divide (And It's Getting Worse)" and just...SO MUCH YES. Aside from the actual content, the rhetorical delivery was amazing. Thank you!

No surprise these two would become instant best friends. #MayTheGrouchBeWithYou

The music choice is *chef's kiss* 😆🥹

I resisted the urge to name my new Wi-Fi router "The Shire," while using "Hobbit hole" as a PW. Instead, I named it "Narnia." 😆

‘Wi-Fi’ is not an acronym. It doesn’t stand for anything. Also! Since it’s a trademarked term, it should be written as ‘Wi-Fi’ (not ‘wifi’ or ‘WiFi’).

Five days since I last taught, and I have no sense of time. Oof, I am a happy creature of habit. #edusky

Nap update: fever broken, congestion continues, fatigue continues. Hey, a 2.5 hour nap can only fix so much after a grueling semester/year.

My body is so worn down by the end of the year nonsense (and oh, what nonsense), that I'm fighting some ridiculous fever, congestion, and fatigue. But! A Sunday afternoon nap is about to commence and that should help. #edusky #highschool #teacher

That last line is *chef's kiss*: "...'Petterssen said we should just give credit to everybody that contributed. We shouldn't try to take credit for the heroic forecast that saved the world. ' " #scicom

If you do not possess the necessary administrative capabilities of communication, wherewithal, gumption, and integrity, then why are you even in an admin role? Because when your lack of the above creates consistent omnishambles, and even medical distress for your employees, that is not ok. #edusky

The space-age instrument creating this light show is DeepPIV, for Deep particle image velocimetry; it was developed by @kakanikatija.bsky.social & the Bioinspiration Lab team at @mbarinews.bsky.social. It was mounted on ROV SuBastian during #DesigningTheFuture3. youtube.com/shorts/UyFRz...

A Monday on a Tuesday is usually a good thing. Unless you're a teacher. And it's the last 2.5 days of school. #edusky #teacher #highschool

Having a former student yell your name across Sam's Club is always both endearing and startling.

Outside there is thunder, and rain, and oppressive humidity, and the barometric pressure is making my ears pop. But my word, is it a glorious stormy evening.

Yesterday in my last class of the day, a student asked what I planned to do for this 3 day weekend. Before I could answer, another kid said:"Now you know Ms. F is going to stay at home and chill, she's an introvert!" I feel so seen. 🤣👍🏻 #edusky #introvert #teacher

I love these instrument spotlights! 😆🫶🏻

I've entered my "teacher humor," graphic tshirt era, and I'm not mad about it. Just ordered one that says in cursive: "I read ancient texts" and I am cackling 🤣😂 #edusky #teacher

A 'cache' is a group of things that are hidden, and is pronounced like "cash." 'Cachet' can mean "prestige," "medicine to be swallowed," or "an official seal," and is pronounced "cash-ay."

Beavers are nature’s chaotic engineers! By building dams and creating wetlands, they help filter pollution, create wildlife habitats, and protect against wildfires. Ecohydrologist Emily Fairfax studies how beavers reshape ecosystems. Plus, she was a science consultant on Pixar’s “Hoppers”.

Telling me you "know what I'm dealing with" because you taught 2 months, 40 years ago, is not okay. We are not the same. #edusky #teacher #highschool

Will a giant bowl of homemade mashed potatoes fix this day? Nope. But will it comfort pockets of my soul that need butter, salt, and carbs? Gah, yes.

We hope this post about orphaned negatives makes you gruntled. An ‘orphaned negative’ is a word that SHOULD feel like it has a related word, but doesn’t. ‘Nonchalant’ is an orphaned negative because there is no ‘chalant.’
