As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

I am concerned that I am seeing articles describing a discharge petition in the house as an "arcane" and "rarely used" procedure, and no one is talking about Legally Blonde 2.

I felt like I was at a point in my career where I was no longer gonna learn things that make me say, "FUCK, I've been teaching this incorrectly for years because that's what all the books said was correct." Unfortunately, that was false, and now I have to tweak all of my S2 materials for AP Stats.

People missing an important point about folks getting fired for whatever they said about Charlie Kirk: Americans are being conditioned to be snitches on their fellow citizens who don’t toe a party line on what is “allowed” to be expressed. And employers are going along. It’s the new secret police

Now that Kirk's killer seems to be caught, maybe the news could spare a moment's attention for the right wing, from the commentariat up to the GOP and president, whose immediate reaction was not mourning, but to seize the opportunity to try to incite violence against groups they hate

We believe strongly that the US Education Department should not be weaponizing federal funding to punish our public schools, and we stand with the five school divisions in NOVA that are having their federal funding threatened.

Last weekend, we took Anna for a photo session to support the Feline Foundation of Greater Washington. Even though she was a bit of a terror, they did a great job of making her look like a perfect angel. 10/10, highly recommend. artcafephotography.com ffgw.org

After close study of the abacus, I am now certain that it is useless for doing math. My conclusion is that they are essentially ancient fidget spinners for mathematicians to fiddle with while solving math problems

My favorite not-technically-a-strike method is “work to rule” where teachers work their contract hours/obligations and nothing else, and the entire school falls apart because the system depends on teachers’ unpaid labor.

When you hear Republicans say they want to "return education to the states," what they really mean is they want to remove civil rights protections for students.

Imagine if Joe Biden had reposted a liberal pundit saying ‘shut up about gas prices’ in 2022. It would have led the news, all of the news, for days, weeks, on end.

When I got my unit circle tattoo, I did have a slight anxiety about the future having to keep it covered for testing students at a time where it was way too hot to wear long sleeves. Clearly that fear was unnecessary--happy unit circle quiz day!
