I can relate. I grew up in foster care and went from homeless to a PhD to homeless again after a career in science and education. I'm proud of my journey, but my story highlights how difficult in can be to fit in careers fed by intergenerational wealth and a culture of privilege. #CelebrateFirstGen

It's so strange to me that the people who voted this mess in typically say they support jobs in America and the US Constitution. Yet, here they are, pretending the shit isn't going to get on them when the sewer they built with fear and hate explodes. I want to stay positive, but I also have a brain.

"...too often fails its students." Students are struggling, but let's also focus on those who teach them. Morale is low for educators, and support is patchy at best. Administrators often punish faculty who are struggling. Many do not earn a livable wage. Drain a lake dry, nothing is left to give.

I pledged when I started up social media again that I would be a positive voice, i.e. no politics, but that gets harder and harder. Leadership matters, but what frightens me more is the number of people who want a dystopian world because they think they only benefit and never suffer, it's erroneous

Hahaha, are you now the Bergstrom Onion on Bluesky? This can't be real, or is it?

This is so tragic. It's hard to believe a people who were the targets of genocide would commit genocide. The Two-state solution was killed with PM Yitzhak Rabin in 1995 by Yigal Amir, an Israeli right-wing nationalist who opposed the most promising peace initiative. I guess hurt people, hurt people.
