Imagination is resistance, @ruha9.bsky.social reminds us that, " we need to reject the gospel that says technology is inevitable, that the train has left the station... In an error of automated bullshit, it’s time to become bullshit detectors,"

Sunday question for ELA folks: what is the best page/passage of literature you've brought into the classroom from a book this year? Why?

(Bonus points for a pic of the actual page 😎)
Also: it's quite fun to think of which passages you would bring to this hypothetical "PD opportunity," right?

Don’t stop organizing to feed each other.

“Even though SNAP benefits have been fulfilled for this month, the need doesn’t go away. It does almost feel like a false sense of security because we know we’re OK right now but nobody knows what’s going to happen in the coming weeks.”
Thousands of Oregon college students among those affected by SNAP benefit disruption
More than 34,000 Oregon college students received federal food assistance earlier this year. Students say the program is vital to their education and everyday lives.

Oakland friends! More school foot patrol trainings this week - DM me for deets!

It's an hour-long, very well run training on zoom. Allows you to sign up at foot patrols popping up all across the district.

All gratitude to the folks in Chicago for showing us how it's done.

A thread of wins for schools, teachers and, most importantly, kids.
Pine-Richland Schools (PA), which have dealt with nonstop book and curriculum censorship, just saw its board flip over to progressive representation.

Multiple times this week an idea from another teacher multiple time zones away has made its way into our classroom in a positive, impactful way—and I'm reminded, despite all the other stuff, that doing this work in community matters.

It matters a great deal.

Happy Tuesday, writers! We are 26 minutes away from our mid-morning Word Spring, brought to you today by @lambradley.bsky.social, a.k.a. Laura Bradley, a.k.a. NaNo Teacher. She's warming up a mug of coffee & doing her finger warm-ups to be ready to pound out some words today. See you at 10:00 am!

📣 It's WORD SPRINT TIME! We'll go at :05.

Let's start with 15 minutes to give ourselves a chance to warm up.

Need a prompt to get started? @carleykalei.bsky.social inspired us with COZY. Maybe that's a fireplace, a chunky knit sweater , or fur-lined boots. Think autumn!

Let's sprint those words for 20 minutes this time!

Need a prompt? We've got grandbabies in our thread, so how about a scene with a baby? Snuggles optional. 🐣🍼

GO!
