#ITeachMath I see the #elemmathchat has moved here & seems to have regular chats now. Anyone/ #MTBOS know if #msmathchat or #hsmathchat exist? What are all of the semi regular #mathchats on here? I miss my math community!

I used another #BlankIsBest slide this week to introduce angles on the straight line. The bar model underneath each diagram really helped some of my Y7's make sense of the problems I made up. #MathsToday

Join us for #ElemMathChat on 3/26/26 at 8pm CST with Alison Mello (@alisonmellomath.bsky.social)! We’ll explore how Math Workshop Plus can support student independence, sense-making, and joy in math. 🧠➕✨ Bring your ideas and questions! #ElemMathChat

Today's abysmal jobs report is a reminder that tax cuts for corporations and the rich don’t create jobs or grow the economy. What's required is investment in working people — and better wages. When workers have money to spend, the economy grows and businesses create more jobs. Remember this.

Joanne on @zackpolanski.bsky.social: "he's like the neurodivergent person at the meeting, going 'I'm going to say the thing that everyone else is avoiding saying, because I don't know why they're avoiding saying it, because it's actually the point that they're talking round and round.'" SO TRUE.

The guardrails in our Constitution exist for a reason. Urge Congress to oppose any bill that adds funding for this unauthorized, illegal war at aclu.org/war-on-iran-

I'm wondering if there any videos of #ITeachMath teachers using @illustratemath.bsky.social curriculum with their students available anywhere. I constantly get asked for exemplar videos by teachers in the districts I support & I wish I had a resource to point them to. #MTBOS #LearnWithIM

Just like with Brazil arresting their insurrectionists rather than re-electing them, other countries are holding their Epstein-tied politicians accountable far better than we do. www.bbc.com/news/article...

I keep seeing folks say they'll just accept a Teen Friendly account on Discord rather than scan or ID and I don't know if I wanna mass normalize leaving NSFW pals out in the cold yet again. Especially with all the censorship stuff goin on I think we gotta stand with the freaks now more than ever.

A few folks in my life with "chronic decision paralysis" are increasingly telling me "well, I asked Chat or Gemini and it said...." Habibi, there is literally no faster way to get me to stop listening to you than uttering that sentence.

Resign, fired, or impeached. Kristi Noem has got to go.

Holy moly: Seattle’s millionaire tax, passed last year, is expected to bring in $115 million in its 1st year, way more than the $50 million anticipated. The funds will go to the city’s new social housing developer publicola.com/2026/02/11/t... (Is NY Gov Hochul paying attention?)

I wish university presses would try to get some physics textbooks by women published Too much push for memoir, not enough push for “write about the thing you do”

In terms of what cures are being lost: - Epstein-Barr virus is perhaps the major trigger for multiple sclerosis - herpes simplex virus causes cold sores, genital herpes, infections in babies, deadly meningitis - shingles virus causes an intensely painful disease

Five years ago @ashoncrawley.bsky.social posted a thing about care that feels really timely again. www.facebook.com/ashon/posts/...

In his confirmation hearings, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told U.S. senators that he would not cut funding for vaccine research or change the nation's official vaccine recommendations. He did both. n.pr/46QDn9p

President Donald J. Trump and Environmental Protection Agency head Lee Zeldin announced that the EPA has finalized rescinding the endangerment finding. This is the legal basis for regulating greenhouse gas emissions under the US Clean Air Act. cen.acs.org/environment/... #chemsky 🧪

More than 400 people, including hundreds of citizens, were “sorted” at gun point into racial and ethnic groups by 200 ICE agents who fired flash-bang grenades into cars with people inside, pointed guns at children & demanded their zip tied parents not comfort them. apple.news/Ausdx6kWtT0e...

You deserve access to abortion care if you are pregnant and do not want to be. Full stop. Your reasons are your reasons and they are good enough. Abortion is healthcare and everyone deserves healthcare access.

DHS funding runs out today. That means we have real leverage in this fight since a funding bill can’t pass without Democratic votes. Call your Members of Congress and demand they reject any bill that doesn’t stop ICE and CBP terror. House: indivisible.org/actions/ice-... Senate: 👇

Criminality is so rampant inside CBP that it has seen one of its own agents or officers arrested every 24 to 36 hours since 2005. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/accountabi...

I fear that men are about to do what men do. They are about to characterize any sober thinking about power as non-technical and therefore unserious. We have seen this pattern over and over again in tech criticism. Women and people of color repeatedly lead on understanding tech changes.

"They stole the stuff we built on stolen IP."

Unlike, say, data analytics giant Palantir or some other high-profile surveillance companies, Ring is a surveillance network that homeowners have by and large deployed themselves, powered by fear mongering against our neighbors and unfettered consumerism.

Firing a pilot for leaving Kristi Noem's blanket behind. Berating staff when she's not on TV enough. Inside the constant chaos at DHS.

Are you one of nearly 70 million American women who changed their names when they got married? 🙋‍♀️ Republicans in Congress want to make it harder for you to vote. Tell your senator to oppose the SAVE Act. indivisible.org/actions/stop...

Take photos of your mathematicians’ counting collections and use them as image talks. Build your own collection of photos for image talks that engage your students in high-level thinking and flexible problem solving. #iteach #iteachmath #mathsky #edusky

In Boston ICE randomly pulled over this huge white Irish guy with a Mass drivers license, 20 years in the states, legal status, pending green card and have held him for 5 months, his citizen wife paid a $4k bond that was ignored(!) ICE forged his signature on deportation agreement, no appeal

Bezos: "Each and every day our readers give us a roadmap to success. The data tells us what is valuable and where to focus." The most-read story on the WaPo website was written by a team Bezos' leadership just sent to the unemployment line.

the idea that making art is embarrassing if you don't do it well enough to make a career out of it is an objectively harmful and toxic brainworm.

the magic of the Muppets is that there are two fourth walls. they constantly break the one that reminds the audience they are performers. they NEVER break the one that reminds the audience they are puppets. this dynamic is the key to their entire comedy style

💙🩵SUPPORT BLACK CREATORS THREAD🩵💙 Black creators advertise yourselves and let new people find you. I'm a black catgirl VTuber that streams and creates videos. cash.app/$solsgraphix

Former Washington Post journalists have launched a GoFundMe to help repatriate fired staff members who are effectively stranded in foreign countries. One of the richest men in the world fired them from the paper and didn’t even pay to ensure they got home. Abolish the billionaire class:

I host dozens of free and pay-as-you-can spaces for autistic adults every month. They’re unlike any other online space you’ve likely encountered. Why? Because we have set guidelines. They’re not a free for all trauma dump. Check them out

“Black” is being flagged as a potentially prohibited word violating anti-DEI law at multiple Florida Universities. My interview this week with @grundrza.bsky.social documents his event being flagged because the flyer said “Black.” Racial authoritarianism is here, it’s just unequally distributed.

“Perhaps if human nature were a little less vulnerable to the siren’s call of shortcuts, then AI could envision the potential its creators envisioned for it. But that is not the world we live in.” #amreading scholarship.law.bu.edu/cgi/viewcont...

As anti-trans laws exclude athletes, roller derby leagues are adapting so everyone can skate coloradosun.com/2026/02/01/f...

Russians are trying to rewrite history on Wikipedia. Because it's the #1 source of training data for AI systems, it can also be used to "poison" platforms like ChatGPT and Claude AI.

A Historically BLACK University cannot say Black. A Historically BLACK University cannot say Black. A HISTORICALLY BLACK UNIVERSITY cannot say Black.

Remember this is also the paper that printed trans people's deadnames and old pronouns for forever because that's what "real journalism" is supposed to do 🙃

this this this. THIS IS A SCAM but because it's in a genre the NYT fundamentally disrespects, all boundaries of journalistic ethics are just ignored. bsky.app/profile/lind...

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:

Consider all the drivers, hotel staff, and restaurant staff that these people have exposed while taking their annual victory lap around ending the right to an abortion

Mozilla will allow Firefox users to entirely block current and future generative AI features on the browser after user feedback revealed many who wanted an AI-free browser experience.

every special election result right now is like, not a single person in this district cast a vote for kamala harris in 2024 and the dem in the special election wins 77-20 or something.

I love Vonn, so I say this with no hate towards her. I just want to point out that a woman competing with a LITERAL TITANIUM KNEE is fine but a trans woman racing would generate global headlines re "question about fairness" Just an observation
