I got to hang with @covingtonedu.bsky.social and @humrespro.bsky.social today in person! Getting to see my online friends and allies is such a gorgeous part of life. The Student Power Summit is the place to be!

Successfully haven’t bought anything from a large corporation today. Got a couple things from my local co-op and switched out books at the library. 💕 A great goal for any day!

To empower marginalized communities and address wealth inequalities from centuries of racism and discrimination, we must champion economic democracy. By giving people a voice in the economy, we enable them to take control of their economic futures. It's time to shift from plutocracy to inclusivity.

THIS IS HOW YOU STAND UP: EEOC admin judge Karen Ortiz resisted an order to hand over all LGBT cases for “review” and told colleagues to resist too. She knows she’ll likely to be fired. “I can exist on cornflakes and community if it means that my soul is intact.” www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/u...

What I know about what is lawful: Diversity, equity, and inclusion are legal (and moral!) All students receiving a free and public education is legal (regardless of immigration status or gender identity.)

I was inspired to do a little something, based on a comment @prisonculture.bsky.social made earlier this week, and put together this flyer with federal policy actions that happened this week. I hope people find this useful!

Can’t wait to post a few of these!

Thoughts on this design? Planning for a #science teachers conference. Also, bonus points if you know what the white lines are.

A bunch of STEM teachers who received a presidential award after years of delay, had given up thinking they’d ever get the monetary part of the award. Tonight the #NSF started their direct deposits. It’s a small thing, but it’s making me hopeful. #PAEMST

Welcome to BlueSky CLEAN! Give them a follow for support in #Climate education!

This is a coup.

Happy Friday! I absolutely had to bring this chicken home with me. Found her at my local Goodwill where I do a weekly look for clothes for my toddler. #ShopSecondHand #WhoNeedsTarget

Fellow White People of the Internet: stop the doom scroll and take action w us to fight this white supremacist 💩. Mark your calendars for Wed. nights: ✅ Action hours to show up for targeted communities ✅ Strategy sessions with movement leaders ✅ Accountable community Join us: surj.org/1st100

My experience as a Black woman never included feeling safe or protected by this government. It's actually been very much the opposite. If this is your first time feeling terrified and/targeted by those in power, you've lived a privileged life. It is what is. Now get to work.

Feb 28! Buy nothing, friends! I already peaced out of Amazon, quit Target, and very rarely am in Walmart. (bc rural America) Employee owned Winco, my local food co-op, and sometimes Costco! Trying not to buy things in general anymore. Let’s goooo!

"the company’s elevated stock price becomes increasingly dependent on the belief that Musk the magician can deliver wildly creative new products. That image is fading." @davidzipper.bsky.social why boycotting Telsa could make Elon hurt

All of Washington’s #ClimateEd resources are free on our OER hub! We also welcome materials from others so if you need a spot to share any climate teaching materials, we will review them. oercommons.org/courseware/l...

Being a human on this planet has always been hard, always harder for some than for others. I’m going to keep working to make it better. Don’t give up, friends!

Just a nice little package to help folks get handle. Breathe, fight when you can, hold onto hope.

Had a great afternoon at my local public library! Realized they have a die-cut machine 👌. Got a cookbook and a book on elderberry foraging and processing. Baby got some fresh board books and my partner got his book club’s new tome. #CancelCapitalism

A great way for folks to get Black joy, education, questions, and facts into their feed and kick off February!

Said a peaceful goodbye to my dear Flint this evening. He was a beautiful soul and we were lucky to be his family. Thanks for 11 lovely years, Flinty.

I wonder why the NSF is handling this differently than NASA and the DOE?

No human is illegal.

I’ve kind of been down on myself professionally the last few years. But I recently realized that things are getting better because I have held my role for 2.5 years and I’m finally understanding systems and things are going much better. New roles are hard, folks!

Been off Twitter, just ended FB, and am about head out of IG. On to an era of more intentional engagement with media corporations and corporations in general! 💕

On pause until 2025. Doing a major screen detox… contemplating rest, capitalism, decolonization, and nature. See you all soon!

Please enjoy my #cat, Howie, snuggling in my old wooden sled this holiday season. It is officially his.

I just really need people to understand the degree to which the acceleration of the use of “AI” with no advanced is energy technology means we are cooking the planet so we don’t have to write an email …

PhET has saved me so many times! This is an incredible opportunity!

Your good news for today! Youth, climate action, winning in the courts!

I’m not coming to your #AI training unless you open with the #climate impacts of AI.

Do we all have #adhd or has capitalism and overconsumption just pushed us over the edge?

Do I reread the entire #StormlightArchive or do I just go for it? Where are my #BlueSky #Cosmere folks? #WayOfKings #WindAndTruth

Just added some new folks! So many of your old faves from the bird place. Keeping it to folks who work in/on PK-12 #SciEd in formal, informal, research, and non-profit spaces. #EduSky go.bsky.app/FdpEmsi

I’ve been struggling with the climate, artistic, and life impacts of AI. #AI

What gives me hope is the sheer number of folks that I know who are working for the good. For the good of our planet, ourselves, and all species. Good night Bluesky!

If you aren’t following Phil, you’re missing out on kindness, deep thought, and incredible open-access resources. #SciEd #SkyenceTeachers 🧪

#UngradingChat #1: Grading is an unobjective human construct that mostly causes harm and forces the beautiful messiness of learning, feedback, and growth into neat measurable boxes that are used to exert control over students.

Goodnight, Bluesky! I’m taking care of myself and my sweet little family this weekend so I’m signing off until Monday. Just a little pic from my drive home last night. Hope everyone fills themselves up. 💕

Still one of my favorite shirts of all time! Are we bringing #NerdyTShirtFriday over to Bluesky? @aserkin.bsky.social @cummingslinda.bsky.social @apchemisme.bsky.social @sorensensci.bsky.social

I need some tech support… I deactivated my 🐦 account and I thought that my data would delete in 30 days. Do I need to reactivate and go in and delete my tweets and does anyone have evidence to support what they tell me? Thank you!

We will get more nuanced packs as more people come, but PLEASE let me know if you want to be added to the Science Educator starter pack! Leave a comment and we will get you on. Make sure to share too so that we can find more of us. go.bsky.app/FdpEmsi #SciEd #NGSS #Skyence 🧪

One of the greatest aspects of Twitter for me as an educator was getting to follow Black educators showing their genius and joy. It truly changed my brain chemistry. I suggest giving this whole pack a follow!

I’m not going to do it girl, I’m just thinking about it… I did it.

It’s giving…

Spent the afternoon reflecting at the National WWII Museum. Read this as I entered. It’s almost like we’ve been here before…
