We really are living in peak hoodie times.

When you’re a teacher you realize how bad the world is at explaining things.

New episode! More cringey lyrics!! More questionable fashion!!! #music #podcast open.spotify.com/episode/4gyk...

There are 100 education policy podcasts? 😂

“I can’t think of a way this could help ME” often equals “this can’t do anything” in many people’s minds

Finally made it over to the @wendemuseum.bsky.social Wow, it’s beautifully curated and full of thoughtful, fascinating artifacts. #history #historyteacher #coldwar

It’s not really about Hegseth or Trump, both noted chumps. It’s all about the sycophants who confirmed Pete. Government just doesn’t work without thought and skepticism.

From my recent interview with @garystager.bsky.social Trust the kids! #EduSky

I tell my undergrads that my 20th c lecture course revolves around two big questions — what is America and who counts as American?

Ai Weiwei’s graphic memoir is remarkable. It’s as much a meditation on how to exist in the world as it is his life story. A really beautiful work. #graphicnovel #comics

I set Spotify to radio based on “Set Adrift on Memory Bliss” and it’s on an absolute heater

They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made. -FS Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby, published 4/10/1925.

It’s difficult rn to talk civics and history with teens who, for as far back as they can remember, there’s Trump. Me: this isn’t normal Them: what do you mean yeah it is #EduSky

It’s all fun and games when you’re not accountable and you can sit on some asshole’s podcast and lie

4(OH!)1K

So true. A local “Patriot Store” (that’s literally its name) sells Trump merch and its all cheap shit made overseas

Weeks like this I miss patriot act @hasanminhaj.com

AP Art is such an oxymoron

In the new episode @garystager.bsky.social talks about what computers mean in a constructivist classroom (hint: it’s not EdTech), what he learned from teaching in a Maine prison, and why Jon Haidt needs to calm down. #education #podcast #learning #edtech bigideaed.buzzsprout.com/220519/episo...

You can throw the trade deficit in there, too

What’s he trying to fix? (That Economist piece is from *last October*)

Kinda wild how humorless this app is

I really think AI has some huge potential but for some reason the companies insist on trying to sell us on mundanities like reservations and showing us our daily schedule 🙄

#Historyteachers are we ready for the challenge? It’s coming. apnews.com/article/trum...

And we have bullshit like Pre-AP and parents demanding their child be in the highest math possible because it’s not about the joy of learning and exploration

Keeping up their brand while telling us things like “if I had a Tesla I’d sell it”

I do love me some @wikipedia.org From the latest episode with @anya1anya.bsky.social #wikipedia

I’m in my 48th year on planet Earth, still waiting for someone to coherently explain to me why the national debt matters

I’d love to see the typical Sunday night sales stats for Teachers Pay Teachers

IB Diploma Program > AP on every level

When that light turns green in LA you better wait a beat or two because someone’s running the red sheesh

Which Crash Course is the best and why is it Black American History? @clintsmithiii.bsky.social

Surprising (and sad) to me how many people I encounter who don’t understand the value of the library

Land acknowledgment increasingly feels like “I have a Black friend”

Heard on NPR this morning that tired adage, “in a small town people look out for each other” I grew up in a town of 1000 people, and there were plenty who no one looked out for Now I live in a huge city and neighbors really look out for each other in times of need and crisis and everyday

Really been enjoying catching up on @edzitron.com www.wheresyoured.at/longcon/

Man pretty much anything can be defended under the cover of “asking questions” and “well that’s actually pretty nuanced” etc etc and get lost

i think @chriswarcraft.bsky.social is on to something this is a street sign in Huntington

“What’s the most important thing for teens to know about climate change?” From the new episode with @anya1anya.bsky.social #climatechange #climateeducation
