I don't believe there are clear answers from scientific studies yet, but some theories are shared here: www.paramotion.org/post/skills-.... The gist is that once you're gotten insight into the amount of effort you've been expending to appear normal, your brain is no longer willing to play along.

I haven't been as active on social media lately by which I mean for a few years now. I realized it's because I've been drawing boundaries about my media consumption for my mental health. There's so much f'd up stuff going on in the world & too much shows up on my feed - it's overwhelming!

How we beat back the corporate takeover of America: 1. Break up corporate monopolies 2. Continue building union power 3. End Citizens United and get big money out of politics Let’s keep working to unrig the system.

Kids told me some whoppers this week, lol

City of Dallas is almost broke? This explains a lot-& under the watch of a fake 🔵 Mayor turned 🔴 after his election. Push to abandon alley 🗑️ Pkup to “avoid tree maintenance” 🙄 Not wanting to make repairs to city hall The sudden change of ❤️ to work with ICE …💵

The richest Americans saw their net worth soar 120% from 2017 to 2025. The top 1% now control $55.8 trillion in assets — more than the G.D.P. of the United States and China combined. Meanwhile, millions of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. Still wondering if inequality is out of control?

A cohort of resistance-minded House Democrats is pushing their colleagues to begin building the case against President Trump now in anticipation of a Day 1 impeachment vote if they retake the House. (cont.) www.axios.com/2026/04/24/t...

Well, now it totally makes sense why the GOP led Congress is not doing a damn thing to improve ppl's lives as far as healthcare, groceries, etc Focusing on enabling 🤡 & toadies to blow through BILLIONS in his illegal war is so time consuming, you see Do they even remember why they're there in DC??

Look at these headlines. Two days ago, Magagop Senators used Reconciliation & awarded ICE another $75B on top of the $75B they gave them last July. Vote them all out. Gifted article: www.nytimes.com/2026/04/23/u... #USDemocracy #DV1 #Voice4Victory

Fractions have a way of pushing students to rethink what multiplication actually means—which is where the real learning happens. #MathIsFigureOutAble #MathChat #MTBoS #ITeachMath #MathEd #Mathematics

Today is the end of my second week in my new job at Amplify & I'm loving it so far.

When it comes to improving math outcomes, using precise math vocabulary in the classroom isn’t a silver bullet. But a 2025 study shows using more specific math terms (like subtraction instead of takeaway) is linked to stronger academic achievement when paired with expert teaching practices. 🧵1/5

I just volunteered my students to puzzle test for this. I loved thee big yellow game book he did. #MTBoS

Big picture, I feel that too often topics are taught in vacuums. There are very few truly "new" topics, everything is an extension/ twist of what has been done... and we rarely connect those dots. This leads to memorization vs understanding.

The area model is clutch and it’s sad that I wasn’t taught it as a kid. 😂

#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

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...

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
