One if my kid’s teacher put out her wishlist and it only has white dolls on it so I guess I’m donating some dolls of other skin tones also 🤷🏽‍♀️

Also, happy EWF Day good peoples

the funny thing about the constant misappropriation of MLK is that the guy left a massive body of writing specifically aimed at explaining his views of those of the movement he represented to the broad public. it is extremely easy to know what the guy thought on a variety of subjects and yet

Or, teachers saying they don’t need another AI app to make lesson plans or to grade student work

Not me finishing Oathbound (Legendborn #3) and it’s a cliffhanger and now I have to wait until who knows when for the next book. #blackbooksky

I got caught slipping today and the answer to a practice problem was 1.67

I read 1984. And Fahrenheit 451. And A Brave New World. And The Handmaid‘s Tale. And The Giver. And The Road. And The Lottery. And The Parable of the Sower. And The Hunger Games. I know what I’m seeing.

A student was lynched today at Delta University in Mississippi. Black people, please be safe.

Truly, what is there left to say?

Giving my students the “never in my life have I gotten a sub report like this/I am so disappointed in you” speech today. I’m a little rusty but I know I still have it in me.

The cooties made their way to my household 😭😷🤧🤒

Sooo true. I’m a completely different person when I RSVP.

The way I want to believe a Tiffin service would solve at least most of my problems

At least seven historically Black colleges and universities across the South received threats Thursday that caused lockdowns and closures. via @wwno.org

nothing says late stage capitalism like a toddler burnt out from the hustle and grind of preschool

Not me getting a raise but my check is $2 less because our benefits went up and I added some life insurance 😭😭😭

For those who don’t know, Workday is actively being sued because the AI it uses is trained to deny Black people’s applications

It is a job of mine to figure out how to engage students in the content. It is NOT my job to make content engaging. There’s a difference and a lot of administrators and evaluators don’t know that.

It’s still Free Palestine over here.

It's tied into everything & actually funding so many businesses.

If you use your Marriott Bonvoy account to create a BetMGM account, you’ll get Marriott bonus points.

John Oliver did a whole piece on how the gambling services keep you hooked. It's filthy out here.

A parent just said that DoorDash was showing up on her son’s credit cards. She thought it was food. He’s underaged also!

Friendly reminder:

They knew exactly what they were doing when they legalized sports betting. College students getting sucked in.

Before leaving one day this past week, I sent home a few positive messages to families of students who had really shown out so far. One responded with a loud thank you—and a note that “they had never heard anything positive before” about their kid from school. Reminder: it‘s the little things.

NEVER FORGET Paula was seasoning GREASE 😆😆☝🏾

In the past week, I've seen a distinct uptick in white BlueSky users chiding Black people for daring to post about anything other than the current president/administration. It's rather telling.

Sometimes as an elementary teacher, you’ve got brilliant high school friends like @heymrsbond.com and wonder if you can take their amazing lesson and scaffold it down to 2nd grade. And it turns out to be so beautiful (I have the best friends for so many reasons)

This is so beautiful. Heather is so amazing.

Doctor I trust more than RFK, Jr.

This is an illuminating piece that highlights that those who are pushing AI in schools fundamentally misunderstand the nature of education.

My Costco never has any of the stuff I want that I see posted on those found in Costco pages

Since when is "all children deserve food" such a radical statement.. They're BABIES. FEED THEM!

Please help!
