Finally using this account to fully replace the bird app. I’ll miss my education network there but looking to rebuild here! #edusky
Just watched Good Night, and Good Luck. Loved the movie and that a thoughtful, creative adaptation. Still provocative and thought provoking - maybe even more so.
Haven’t watched CNN in months until now.

Anyone else giving up their Waze and Google Maps after their announcement re Gulf of America? 🙄
I keep trying to engage in as many acts of non-acceptance/disobedience as possible. While it feels like shouting into the abyss, it's better than nothing.

First time in decades that I purposefully did not watch an #inauguration. Even viewing felt like being complicit in the darkness about to descend.

'The Great Displacement' looks at communities forever altered by climate change
Jack Bittle's book takes a look at several communities that have been affected by climate change, and how the lives of their residents — those who have survived — have been altered by extreme weather.

Glad I made it to an assembly of high school artists (dance, drama, choir, band) for our middle school. Music was an important part of my life in middle and high school. Wish more students would take advantage of it.

The guilt and blame lies with gun-obsessed, nonsensical nationalists & lawmakers unwilling to prioritize lives over guns, not teachers.

If you’re an educator and regular school shootings make you think ‘I will not take a bullet for other people’s kids,’ that’s okay.
There’s nothing wrong with you and everything wrong with a country unwilling to protect its most valuable resource.

All of the posturing on social media for clout is such a slap in the face of the work being done on the ground. It's a slap in the face to all of the years spent trying to explain that banned books are not some cutesy thing. That they are about erasure and removal of *people*.

It brings me such joy to see Gurdeep on my feed again. Lost him on the other place. Never fails to make me smile and pause for a moment to enjoy. #joy #bestfollow
Let sadness come and go like passing clouds in the sky of your consciousness, but make sure to extend a warm invitation to joy as well, allowing both emotions to coexist naturally in your heart, each teaching valuable lessons about the full spectrum of human experience, leading to fulfilment.
