If you only get your information from Fox News and other right wing sources, the world seems like a much more dangerous place.

My mom went to LA a few years back and was shocked that the streets were not lined with homeless camps.

Funny story… according to this info from The National Library of Medicine, “During early development the gonads of the fetus remain undifferentiated; that is, all fetal genitalia are the same and are phenotypically female”. Sooooo by law we’re all women now?

I agree and I desperately want to hope this will be righted, but now that he’s inaugurated, is that even possible?

I’ve made a lot of mistakes in my day. I’ve dropped my phone into the ocean, I’ve trusted tricksters…why, I even chose this weekend of all times to visit my republican parents.

…but ya know what I’ve never accidentally done?

And after a few years when that doesn’t work? Great news, we just launched this ✨new✨ curriculum that fixes all the issues in the old curriculum! It’s research based (just like the all the previous ones) and will do the trick…as long as those bad, naughty teachers of yours cooperate for once.

When that curriculum doesn’t give school districts the academic successes they were promised, they turn the blame on to the teachers. They claim we’re not following it or that we’re doing it wrong. The sell coaching services and professional development conferences so they can come “fix” us.
