In this week’s Talking Climate, I unpack why recent cuts to scientific programs and data don’t only affect climate research in the U.S. They weaken the knowledge infrastructure we rely on to protect public health, manage risk, and make good decisions around the world. www.patreon.com/posts/how-si...

Can’t wait for this session for all the #PDLove and learning with friends at #NCTE25!

What happens when we come to understand #literacies as cognitive, social, AND embodied practices? How might teaching shift if we accounted for the fact learning is inseparable from being & becoming? Come inquire with @angelastockman.bsky.social, Jennifer Fletcher, & I on Saturday! #NCTE25

My #NCTE25 experience is going to look a little different than last year. I’ve committed to two sessions and I believe in both of them with my whole heart. I’m excited to be in community with @sheathescholar, Scott, and anybody looking to tell the truth.

What do topic modeling, lack, Taylor Swift, oversized sunglasses, and Louis Althusser all have in common? They’re all key ingredients in @scottstorm.bsky.social’s and I’s #NCTE25 workshop on Theory, Theorists, & Theorizing! Come join us on Saturday at @ncte.org. #literacies

Thrilled to be part of this roundtable with the Educator Collaborative at NCTE in Denver this week. Looking forward to seeing new and familiar faces! @theedcollab.bsky.social #NCTE25 #NCTE2025

Reminder that muting specific words on social media for a day, a week, a month, or even forever can be laudatory self-care.

I’m ambivalent on phone bans in schools, but it does irk me that much of the energy that could/should be spent addressing these foundational issues ⤵️ will now be spent arguing about phone policies & procedures. So kids will still feel bored/alienated but now they can’t DM about it. Cool I guess?

This person is a charlatan. Why is there so much uncritical coverage of this obvious nonsense? Where is the actual journalism?

On this day in 1916, President Woodrow Wilson signed the Organic Act, officially creating the National Park Service to protect and preserve America’s natural wonders and historic treasures “for the enjoyment of this and future generations.”

And I have a YouTube series, Global Weirding, that explains how climate change affects extreme weather, what models can be used for, how CO2 is a pollutant, and more. This is a great opportunity to use your voice to advocate for accurate info we need to plan for a safer, better future for us all.

If you have 5 minutes this weekend, listen to this clip of @mattrkay.bsky.social walking through his guidance towards teachers who are hesitant about facilitating more-challenging discussions in their classroom. (Also: this is why we need to listen to teachers.) www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sx8p...

Good news! Mr. Jekyll has finally decided on his dissertation topic in the field of Advanced Feline Evil: “How to Keep an Entire House Up All Night Because I Want Attention.” He’s also got a solid start on his appendix, “Bathroom destruction tactics during a 5AM time out.” PhD pending. #caturday

“It is a mockery on the part of Little League to keep us here in Bogotá with the hope that our children can fulfill their dreams of participating in a world championship,” the team's statement said. “What do we do with so much injustice, what do we do with the pain that was caused to our children?”

"They call us now, / before they drop the bombs." We're beginning Week 2 of #PoemADayJuly with "Running Orders" by Lena Khalaf Tuffaha and, yes, this poem is so much and too much and, because of that so much and too much, very worthy of conversation. @thevogelman.bsky.social @heymrsbond.com

1/3 Oscillation and vacillation-- I think the personal lines contrast w/others showing his inability to grasp the experience as a whole. It's too much. His mind zooms in and out--past & future, old & new, abstract & concrete, memories & actions, short & long moments. Thus could #PoemADayJuly

#PoemADayJuly The listing syntax allows for a constellation of places mapped together by the wish for detectable signals.

This is a new poem for me! When I first read it, I immediately jumped to the ideas of reciprocity discussed in Braiding Sweetgrass. How can we give back to our communities, and to Mother Earth? “Together we made something greater from the difference.” #PoemADayJuly

Day 3 of #PoemADayJuly "When Giving Is All We Have" This poem acknowledges how acts of giving plot our life stories, endlessly offering the possibility of being transformed and rewritten.

Starting Tuesday: #PoemADayJuly with myself, @heymrsbond.com and @thevogelman.bsky.social 😎 The first seven poems listed here—we'll discuss one each day, and everyone is welcome! Building community by talking about poetry is a pretty cool thing, so let's do it! docs.google.com/document/d/1...

The point of teaching literature is simply this: Every story we read is a new lens on the world. When we read diverse books, we grow as people. We become wiser and more empathetic - more able see other people. SCOTUS’ ruling allows intolerance to continue and makes us a weaker nation.
