LIKES DON'T FIGHT FASCISM

I'm a certified hater. Please stop bringing your kids and dogs into the course. It's not safe, and it's self centered.

I sought out the position I have now because I felt that students in underserved schools deserve high quality instruction from highly skilled teachers. I have been asked to remember this in the same breath as being asked what a student can do to still pass a class they didn't attend for 12 weeks.

Back in the '80s, Senators questioned whether Dr. Martin Luther King was "important enough" for a federal holiday. Today, they honor him in Hiroshima, Japan, for his commitment to anti-nuclear activism.

I really hate the term "presenting" when people use it to talk about how they interpreted someone else's gender/sexuality. The only person who knows what you're presenting is you. How you're read is up to other people.

Them: The 2nd amendment says you can't take away our guns. Us: But it says right here that's only if you have a "well-regulated militia." Them: Bet.

I want to ask him what training ICE will do. Make them better at dragging people off to concentration camps? Make them better at shooting people in the face?

Heres tonight's #TimelineCleanse: I can't imagine MAGA doing anything like this. It is so whimsical, creative & silly — an awesome way to protest. Doesn't that look like fun? I would have loved to have been there! I hope we can think of something fun like that here in sunny California. 🌞 ☀️ 😎

One of the most popular and crowd-pleasing arias in classical opera, "Perché non c'è cibo nella mia ciotola, donna?" tells an emotional tale of a desperately malnourished waif and translates into English as "Why Is There No Food In My Bowl, Woman?"

I remember how many people went to bat for Sarah Huckabee Sanders' eyeshadow like she was born with it.

oh shit

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

Some people were confused by my ICE post. This should clear it up.

crazy that the website that I randomly decided to put together at 10AM yesterday has had over 25k unique visitors in 24 hours. please keep sharing with your networks.

Two types of people: A. A tornado is coming. Let's go to the basement. Let's turn on the weather radio. Let's make sure we have extra food and water. B. A tornado? Here? I never would have thought I would see this in my lifetime! Now *I* am in danger? This is only supposed to happen to other people.

You know how fucked up and evil you have to be for a Minnesotan to talk to you like this?

Next Friday, NYC teacher and other people

Student: You're the only teacher who cares if students are in class or not.

The “fuck your feelings“ crowd really doesn’t like it when it’s their feelings being fucked.

Literally America:

bitch

Trying to teach how bad apartheid was when I live in the United States of America makes me feel like a fucking clown.

thanks RFK Jr.

"aggressive gender equality"

My understanding of these "gifted and talented" schools is that they define "gifted" as "has good scores on state exams" and not "is so exceptional that they need specialized instruction"

My principal: Looking up words in the dictionary is not rigorous. My 19 year old students: R is after O, right?

I had a teacher working in the back of my classroom. Another teacher comes in to talk to him. I call on my student, who begins speaking. The teacher talks over her. I tell my class to listen to the student who is speaking. The teacher continues talking. I tell her to "hush." She says I'm rude.

"All my neighbors are Americans"

URA WAS ROBBED

Rep. Robin Kelly (D-IL): "I rise today to announce I will be impeaching Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. Secretary Noem has violated the Constitution and needs to be held accountable for terrorizing our communities."

Trump yells “fuck you” and flips off an auto worker in Michigan who yelled “pedophile protector” www.tmz.com/2026/01/13/t...

people keep saying “Dilbert” died and I’m like omg that was the name of the mad scientist, not the monster. Read a book

by = ✍️ buy = 💵 bye = 👋 Bye Bye Bye = 💁🏼‍♂️💁🏻‍♂️💁🏼‍♂️💁🏻‍♂️💁🏻‍♂️

All the dairy products served by our school cafeteria are "reduced fat." Reduced fat cheese. Reduced fat yogurt. Is it the '90s?

them: You should smile. them: Not like that 😡

I love this album

I am once again asking if a dead person can step on the brakes. You can't stop a car by shooting the driver.

First wheelchair user to get a teaching license in New York. What a badass. May her memory be a blessing.

Books I've read in 2026: The Thursday Murder Club I liked the quaint old-lady storytelling voice of the narrator. Like talking to my grandmother, but my grandmother's a little better at including all the pertinent details.

The Republican propaganda around this is so despicable. And I think it may have unintended consequences that are harmful to their own cause. Like if you keep saying again and again that she tried to **** ** *** ***** with her car, other people might try to **** ** *** ***** with their car.

why

small dick energy

I love teaching A Raisin in the Sun. Somehow, year after year, there's always more to find in these rich characters. Today a kid told me that Beneatha and Walter are selfish for thinking they should use Mama's money for their own goals, and that selfishness reveals an immaturity that comes from...

We could answer the phone when our mom wasn't home, but we weren't allowed to say she wasn't home. We had to say, "She's in the shower"

don't open the door

This may soon change but-- having chicken pox
