How do we honor all kinds of families in science teaching? The Queerspawn Resource Project has children’s and adult book lists, allyship guidance, a language guide, and media collections reflecting the experiences of people with LGBTQ+ parents/guardians.

Feeding America has a page where you can input your zip code and it'll show you all of the food banks near you overlaid on a map. If you need it, it's there. If you don't need it, think about donating money if you have it and your time if you don't. www.feedingamerica.org/find-your-lo...

Hey institutions that host professional development, podcasts, ed news, ed conferences, etc: Educators are desperate to hear from other educators about what’s working in their classrooms TODAY. Find the practicing educators and give them resources to teach other educators.

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation. Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

Take a lesson from the Black Panthers who understood how to feed people

Much fascinating, telling language in this piece for K-12 educators to be alert to as Trump's DOE pursues its "civics" initiative developed by deep-pocketed, far-right groups: America 250 Civics Coalition.

Want to help feed people during the SNAP shutdown and also enter to win a whole bunch of cool stuff? Donate to any food bank, food pantry, or mutual aid group that distributes food, post a receipt here, and I'll use a random number generator to draw a winner. More details in 🧵:

Come out today at 1, the weather forecast looks perfect!

“If you live in a 15 minute city but your barista can’t afford to live there too, you don’t live in a 15 minute city, you live in a theme park.“

There’s $5 billion sitting in SNAP reserves right now. The money’s there. The Administration just decided feeding families matters less than bailing out Argentina.

Tomorrow. D.C. The National Mall. Sunup to sundown.

"Tzefardea Tzedek" (Frog of Righteousness) As soon as the Portland Frog became a meme, Jewish social media blew up with jokes about the 2nd Passover plague - tzefarde'a (frogs) - and the Rabbinical commentary around it. I knew I had to make a calligraphy piece encompassing all of it. (more in alt.)

Apparently some folks are playing real dumb about skull symbols so let’s play a little game I like to call “Nazi skull or not a Nazi skull” First up, the Jolly Roger. This is a pirate skull, not a Nazi skull. It means you might get robbed, but prolly not genocided. With me so far? 1/x

Update: The long-awaited rapid strengthening of #Melissa is now under way. As of 5 p.m. EDT Sat, the National Hurricane Center is predicting that Melissa will be a *Category 5* hurricane by Monday. www.nhc.noaa.gov/text/refresh...

People across WA state can visit Washington Health Plan Finder and see exactly how much their health care premiums will cost next year.  If your increase is making coverage unaffordable, Democrats need you to speak out. We can't let Republicans ignore this crisis. www.wahealthplanfinder.org

On a deadly serious note, the President cannot rely on external, private sources to fund spending as an end-run around Congress’ constitutional power of the purse. If he can, we no longer have a republic.

Imagine how demoralizing it must be to be all dressed up in your battle gear and have a barefoot guy in his pajamas who clearly just rolled out of bed to support his neighbors telling you how pathetic you are

i think i would honestly find this whole discourse more tolerable if people simply said what they were actually saying, which is that they think the Democratic Party is too associated with femininity (and secondarily, with black people) and that they want to correct this

Thank you, Chicago.

Speaking of SNAP:

Find a principle and stick to it. That’s my advice. Find a principle you won’t have to abandon because the politician with whom you’re in a very committed parasocial relationship said something dumb again

More of this!

Y’all, Spotify’s stock price sunk by 5% in 1 day. YOU did this by spreading the word to boycott them for running ICE ads. These billionaires only speak one language—money—so let’s keep up the pressure. Tell everyone you know to cancel their Spotify subscriptions. Send them to BoycottSpotify.com.

Following Ada's lead, I'd like to do the same. Reply to me w/ a receipt of a donation to a food bank of your choice, and I'll also match your donations, up to $500. 🍎🍌🥬🍞🥩❤️

The central idea of Neil Kraus's "The Fantasy Economy" has stuck with me ever since our conversation last fall: American public schools became “failing schools” exactly when they needed to, to fit the needs of the Fantasy Economy. www.humanrestorationproject.org/podcasts/the...

The last two Fridays I have made it a mission to send a good note home for two students out of each class. It is a quick note saying I have noticed them doing good and appreciate it. That is basically it. Oh, and I am in middle school. Parents have been loving it. #edusky #teach180

Hi everyone! As quarter one ends, there are a couple of things we could use. If you are able to help our classroom, I would greatly appreciate it! For those of you that don’t know me, I teach 7-10th grade science a public school in NW Ohio. www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

Oregonians, we need your help. ICE activity is increasing in our communities. If you see something, report it to PIRC's hotline (1-888-622-1510) and get your phone out to record it.

Teachers! I have your opener for tomorrow: “Y’all got your Halloween costumes figured out yet? No? Well, you’ve got about 6 or sevvvvvven days left!”

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

Alright, team Bluesky: US foodbanks are about to have staggering demand when SNAP ends Nov 1st. We need to help them prepare. I'll match donations: DM or reply with a receipt showing your own donation to a food bank of your choice, and I'll donate to match, up to a total of $500. 💪🥗🍲🥚🥧🥪🥣🥛 #NoHunger

1. We ( @jbakcoleman.bsky.social, @cailinmeister.bsky.social, @jevinwest.bsky.social, and I) have a new preprint up on the arXiv. There we explore how social media companies and other online information technology firms are able to manipulate scientific research about the effects of their products.

He's demolishing this too

When people go uninsured, they skip out on doctor's visits, they go without their medications, and they end up in the ER. If you don't believe me, I asked a doctor to lay out what happens when people aren't covered for the care they need. Health care should be a right.

Terrifying. But did the AP really misspell "fluoride" twice?

It's been a long, long, LONG wait, but the Portrait in Cells scarf - based on this artwork - is back in stock in two weights of silk, yayyyyy! #sciart www.etsy.com/shop/artolog...

I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.
