I continue to be a Coby Mayo hater

The House Appropriations Committee moved forward a bill that will fund ACT for ALS at 85M, $10M more in ALS research at the NIH, and $3M more for the CDC’s ALS Registry at CDC. We are grateful for the increases in funds, but it is not enough. Take action: bit.ly/ALSFY-27

A loss, but my friend's high school classmate Dominic Canzone had a good game

Hi, its Lou Gehrig day across the MLB My dad died from complications of ALS in November of 2020, less than six months after he was diagnosed. Please bother your reps about reauthorizing ACT for ALS www.iamals.org/reauthorize-...

Every time I have to write a research paper I am reminded that I am too interested in too many different things to try to do a PhD (And also that I hate writing papers)

Here's the full debate: youtu.be/_uU8M8vqYCA?... I will be door knocking with future Balt Co States Attorney Sarah David this weekend because I believe in her vision for the office and she has the prosecutorial and managerial experience to execute

I have emerged from my National Board writing hole (50 pages in less than 2 weeks!) Still need to edit one component but hello world I can be a person again

.... 🫠 not good Now the Republican Central Committee gets to appoint a replacement

Two students gave me gifts today and I love them

Just got home from the Baltimore premiere of Steal this story, please! at The Charles Theatre. The movie is a powerful look at why we need independent media like @democracynow.org now more than ever. Go see it at a theater near you. Finde a theater here stealthisstory.org

The decision to make Punxsutawney Phill the pregame attraction is absolutely bonkers

Its National Library Week! I shared these stats on Instagram stories and the Enoch Pratt Library shared it 💃🏻 8/16 of the books I've read this year came from the library 10/22 movies I've seen this year came from the library

The Coachella music festival is in the news with the minimum price of sold out 3-day ticket costing $549. Contrast that with "Nicolas" who is currently harvesting onions in the Coachella area and getting paid $22 for a $900lb crate. #WeFeedYou #coachella2026

Is Ekiben an appropriate picnic food? No, its messy as hell. Would I do this again? Absolutely

Need to use my Spring Break for National Board because I need that $10,000 stipend and also have 0 motivation to work on it soo 🙃

Was excited to listen to the Os on the radio.... I will be returning to my book now

Its opening day! Go O's ❤️

Today marks 50 years since Argentina's last coup detat. I spent a long time looking for an English language explanation for why this anniversary is so important ... I failed So here's why I chose to show this (dubbed) documentary to my students today: youtu.be/rZGq15IhAi0?...

Women and girls should be safe in movement work. Holding gratitude and grief for Dolores Huerta’s dedication and bravery. Wishing she didn’t have to be so goddamned committed and brave.

So much love and solidarity to Ana Murguia, Debra Rojas, Dolores Huerta, and every other survivor. Chavez was just a man; women like them, then and now, are the true heroes of the farmworkers’ movement.

What a fun distraction in a fairly shitty March ¡Vamos Venezuela! Regular baseball is back next week 🙂

The World Baseball Classic continues with the semifinal between Venezuela and Italy Hopefully it wont be decided by a terrible strike call 🫠 ¡Vamos Venezuela!

As a recovering people pleaser, I still feel very guilty when I tell people no just because I dont want to

Good morning! I went to sleep before the Venezuela v Japan game finished but turns out I saw all the scoring 🙂 What. A. Game. Vamos Venezuela 🇻🇪

People say baseball is boring but both leadoff batters in the Venezuela v Japan World Baseball Classic quarterfinal hit homeruns

Lobbied Baltimore County legislators in Annapolis yesterday with @tabco.org We need 1. The right to strike for public sector workers 2. Our education support professionals (ESPs) like paraeducators, clerical staff, bus drivers, and cafeteria staff to have base pay of $25/hr

Saw Lionel Messi score in real life and had Chiaparellis after The world is scary but good things can happen too

Graded the assignment my students submitted at the end of class on Thursday in preparation for class tomorrow. They averaged a 4.76/10. Median was 4/10. Mode was 4/10. New plan for tomorrow - reteach

Having an emotionally draining week (mostly being mad at adults that are unprepared and/or unable to communicate) makes it very difficult to enjoy a day where my students seemed to learn what I set out to teach them And people wonder why I dont want to be an administrator

My father started experiencing ALS symptoms in January of 2020. He was diagnosed in April. He died in November. Hard not to draw parallels with Eric Dane

Eric Dane has passed away at 53 after a short battle with ALS He will be remembered by many as McSteamy on Grey’s Anatomy, but he should also be remembered for his disability advocacy He worked tirelessly to raise awareness for ALS, including how hard it is to get a diagnosis.

You should definitely go on this tour! Its a great way to spend a few hours supporting a local business and celebrating Black History Month I gave it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The littlest things can trigger a wave of grief... I saw an article that said it's the 25th anniversary of Dale Earnhardt's death at the Daytona 500. I was four. My dad was obsessed with him so was too. We watched him die live. It's the first time i remember seeing my dad cry

I watched All the President's Men (1976) for the first time last night Very good, but sad to think about how far the Post has fallen

What they won't tell you is that it takes an incredible amount of faith to teach children, especially in conditions that say otherwise. You have to believe in something you're not going to see immediately. That's faith.

Tomorrow, I'm going to try something completely new with my Spanish 3s in front of a grad student who wants to be a teacher and is also old enough to be my dad An adventure!

If you l were intrigued by the half time show, heres a mini documentary about the gentrification in Puerto Rico that Bad Bunny released as the music video for "El Apagón" (the song he was singing on the electrical pole) youtu.be/1TCX_Aqzoo4?... There are English subtitles

I shared "Cuando Te Veo" with my students today, so I thought that I would share it with y'all youtu.be/NemwE1YoTRM?... ChocQuibTown is a Colombian hip hop group from Chocó, a department with a large Afro-Colombian population.

I repurposed an anti Avelo sign for tomorrow's protest... See you there Baltimore

In solidarity with all those standing up for our communities against the brutality of immigrant detention and ICE occupation, we're offering free ebooks of three crucial books about migrant justice and border abolition.

Given recent escalations, please learn about and share info about standby guardianship in Maryland www.courts.state.md.us/legalhelp/fa... You just need 2 witnesses for this to be legally binding for 180 days.

My first hike in the snow ❄️

I saw Hairspray (2007) in a theater for the first time tonight at The Senator Its deeply nostalgic for me. I was 11 when it came out and its the first time I remember seeing a fat girl as the lead in a movie. She even gets the boy at the end A rewatch i definitely needed

Please go watch this Miles Caton is 20 YEARS OLD youtu.be/wGjcEwAWZtw?...

Directed some organized chaos at the @tabco.org / ESPBC legislative breakfast yesterday We did a jigsaw activity with 150 educators and elected officials 😅 Used my elementary colleagues' toolkit including 1. "Clap 1 if you can hear me 2. "You should be in your seat in 5 4 3 2 1"

At last night’s candlelight vigil for Renee Nicole Good, Bishop Rob Hirschfeld of the Episcopal Diocese of New Hampshire announced he had asked the clergy of the diocese to get their affairs in order and to make sure they have their wills written ...,

My first for @dropsitenews.com: after a grueling three-year strike, workers at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette returned to work in victory. This week, the 240-year-old paper’s wealthy owners decided to shut it down. open.substack.com/pub/dropsite...

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Pittsburgh's largest and oldest newspaper, is being shut down by its owners. This announcement comes shortly after the journalists at the paper won a historic 3-year strike.

Translation is an art in and of itself. I translated 3.5 pages of a bullying policy for class with a partner and it was so hard. It wasnt even literature! Machine translation simply cannot replicate what people do and I fear we're going to lose this art because of AI

This whole thread... but particularly the examples in Latin America
