Holy crap- sitting through an org theory specialist presentation and they just brought up "getting the right people on the bus." Nil novum sub sole.

There is a reason I tracked when people jumped on the witch hunt of Claudine Gay. You showed exactly who you are and I don't care what's in your heart. Pepperidge Farm remembers.
I hope people come to understand what we’re dealing with isn’t due to a lack of nuanced understanding of different approaches to addressing racism. They’re not looking for your reasonable middle ground or more compelling argument. They don’t care if you prefer a different intellectual framework.

Can we be real, please? They want H1-B folks because they have no rights- they're basically wage slaves. That's what they want.

A revelation that hit me during my conversation w/ @pernille.bsky.social is the tension & pressure of training American teachers to be superheroes needed to rescue kids from failing economic systems while ignoring those systemic failures. The demand to be superhuman is ultimately dehumanizing.
