I don’t care about Taylor cosplaying as an English teacher. It’s the best job in the world!
What I do care about is the silence of multi-millionaires & billionaires as actual teachers consider how to pay for groceries while praying we’re not gunned down at work or arrested for teaching books.

They’re depoliticizing women’s subjugation.
Every “day in the life” video of a 20-year-old laying out her husband’s socks, and every magazine spread of a stay-at-home mom with five kids in matching beige outfits, take women’s subservience and make it…cutesy.

I’m so excited to sit in a room full of adults and be talked at for days, absorbing content will be neither differentiated nor will the delivery be best practice, in hopes that it’ll inspire and prepare me to be the teacher my students need and deserve 🙃

I maintain that while high school is meant in part to help prepare kids for the world in general, we are not doing job training. It's my job to get kids to think critically, not teach some janky-ass computer program that requires no skillset.
I hate the argument that AI is being used in lots of jobs so students have to learn how to use it in school. AI is not that hard to use. Lots of jobs also use job-specific convoluted enterprise software and we don't teach them how to use those in school.

What Would a Real Friendship With A.I. Look Like? Maybe Like Hers. (Gift Article)
Chatbots can get scary if you suspend your disbelief. But MJ Cocking didn’t — and wound up in a relationship that was strangely, helpfully real.

I teach @lenakt.bsky.social’s “Running Orders” and it’s important to contextualize the poem: it wasn’t written in 2023; it was published in 2017, so the experience is deeply rooted in a LONG history of displacement and violence. It’s not new; students MUST know this.

Poems about ongoing, current, unimaginable pain like this are hard to talk about. What a stunning poem, running down the page in anger and grief, not fear. The word choices at the ends of lines work to convey the situation—“closed,” “worthless,” “sentence,” “narrow,” “house,” “place,” “nowhere.”

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.
I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

Yes. I am right. I am seeing how Chat GPT is ruining students critical thinking and writing skills in real time. It is not the future. It is a tool designed to render the populace helpless, to make people doubt their innate intelligence, and to foster overreliance on technology.
