A teacher who is still learning.
Teaching English writing, rhetoric, and literature in the age of generative AI, which can produce both formative summaries of texts and written assignments, means that teaching is now a series of pedagogical pitch meetings to students for doing the critical thinking work rather than bypassing it.

44% of all American children benefit from Medicaid or SNAP.

Republicans' budget guts both programs.

Yes: the so-called "party of family values" is putting 34 MILLION kids' health care access and food security at risk.

The UN believes 14,000 babies will die of starvation this week. Oligarchs and Technocrats have made it so demoralizing to "[cry] out in the wilderness" about Gaza, which itself, is demoralizing. These acts are despicable and anyone who rationalizes it does not believe in human rights.

BREAKING NEWS: The big ugly Republican bill includes $500 BILLION in cuts to Medicare, along with over $700 BILLION in cuts to Medicaid.

They tried to hide in the dead of night, but the American people are watching!

Nico Harrison didn't realize how important Luka Doncic was to the Mav's fan base? Really? If he was genuinely oblivious, then he's the only one and should be fired for gross incompetence. If he did, in fact, know, then he should be fired for ignorant hubris. What a schmuck...

I'm tired of hearing the media capitulate to the preferred terminology "mistakenly deported" as if it was in error. This administration does not deserve the benefit of the doubt. Kilmar Abrego García was not deported in error. The point of extrajudicial action is always to willfully violate the law.

I recognize that the OJ verdict was a failure of the justice system under tightest of cultural and historical circumstances, but I really don't care to hear from Mark Fuhrman anymore--racist, Nazi-loving asshole. He sucked then and now.

Tired of hearing people like @jonfavs.bsky.social parse "credit" for a ceasefire that took far too long because the US callously enabled so much civilian Palestinian death that was inexcusable and unconscionable. Blinken and Biden deserve nothing but condemnation and ridicule. This is embarrassing.
