This quote from p. 2 "Defeating Dictators" by George B. N. Ayittey hits a little closer to home than I expected when I bought the book: "a force is able to dominate because the counterforce is either nonexistent or weak." see: US GOP government coup #usdemocrats #booksky #readalong #readresistrise

Musk killed these people.

While you're at it, rename other things! Maybe you'd like to live on Easy Street? Or would you like the city named after you (I could live in Ashtonville)? Or perhaps it's finally time for Google to admit that Canada is America's Hat. #resist #google #floodtheline

Accumulation of capital is just a race to be the richest man in the world--one we are currently watching between Musk, Zuck, and Bezos--and a disregard for who must be destroyed to pave the necessary path to the top. A pile of bodies can still be climbed upward. (3/3) #capitalism #racialjustice

Yesterday I was not granted an extension on my Temporary Protective Order (aka restraining order) because the offending party did not break the rules for the year I was protected. This is a broken logic system. He left me alone *because* I was protected. (1/3) #usjustice #tpo

Elon Musk is a terrible president.

A Republican senator has revealed that the Senate is being slammed with “1,600 calls a minute” amid the chaos of Trump’s first three weeks in office.

Keep stirring up good trouble!

People need to start describing Trump/Musk in exactly these terms, as desiring and working towards the goal of killing off/disabling millions of vulnerable people. This is their goal, this is the solution they envision for a world "too burdened" with life that is not white, male and rich. Eugenics.

Kanye is a raging, unrepentant antisemite. And: if you’re criticizing Kanye for his antisemitism and extremism but not Musk, it’s worth asking why.

Day 6 of #28daysofblackcosplay and I want tell you all to follow the beautiful and talented @melanin_maven (insta) who not only cosplays but makes a great percentage of her own wardrobe! #cosplay #blackcosplayer #blackcosplayers

For Day 6 of #28daysofblackcosplay I'd like to highlight the luminous @jazzthebatcosplay (Insta) because everyone should be following her! #cosplay #blackcosplayer #blackcosplayers

one of the reasons why people want to divest from “classics” as a framework is that it makes artificial divisions of things which are deeply interconnected

It's that special time of year when I start posting heads on the wall. Yay I, Claudius! #classicssky #latinteach #edusky #iclaudius #notmyhead

Going into finals week and I find myself longing for my early teaching days pre-NCLB when the buzzphrase was "Alternative Assessments" or "how can you check for mastery without a test?" A couple of decades later and we pre-test, mid-test, post-test, test-to-learn, test-to-find-out #edusky

1. Today, 81 Democrats voted for the NDAA, which pulls care from the trans kids of military service members, in what is seen as a betrayal of trans people by the Democratic party. EITM has published a full, easy to read list of their names, and how to contact.

So my Latin students have come up with what I think is the perfect modern translation of "scelesta": trifling. Calling Lesbia "trifling" from Catullus' pov hits a lot better than "wicked woman" or "unfaithful wench" #latin #classicssky #latinsky

Final day of Donata readalong! My Latin IVs finished the book today! They enjoyed it and enjoyed getting to read something that was easy (it's good once in a while to remind them how far they've come) docs.google.com/presentation... #latin #classicssky #edusky #storybasebooks

*Grading performance final writings* most of these are about murder.. wonder if it's my fault? (two of the word choices are *mortuus* and *sanguis*) #latin #classicssky #ohlatin #edusky

Read along with my Latin IVs! We find out the murderer today in Chapter 5. Two of my students couldn't wait to read the final chapter until tomorrow (and are reading it right now), and I think that's the biggest complement ever! docs.google.com/presentation... #latin #classicssky #edusky

I haven't used it with students yet, but I recently discovered goblin.tools that has been created with neurodivergent peeps in mind. It uses AI to generate todo lists, adjust tone, estimate time for tasks, etc. #A3 #eduskyai

If you're reading along with my Latin IV students, we did Chapter 4 of Donata today! Accusations fly after the murder (some of my students have told me this is their favorite thing they've read in Latin ^_^): docs.google.com/presentation... #latin #latinnovella #storybasebooks #edusky #classicssky

Thanks for the recommendation--just ordered the book!

Continuing our reading of my upcoming low-level "Donata" novella, my Latin IV students tackled Chapter 3 today, introducing the murder of this murder mystery! If you're reading along: docs.google.com/presentation... #latin #latinnovella #latinbook #storybasebooks #edusky #classicssky #latinsky
