One of my favorite bellringer activities in awhile:

1⃣ students reflect + write their own question/answer sequence using Dostoevsky's sentence frame

2⃣ I go around class and everyone shares EITHER their question OR their answer (without disclosing other half)

Such a cool space to be in!

Being late-identified as autistic means grieving years you didn’t get to live as yourself.

Years spent masking without knowing.

Performing regulation you never actually experienced.

Convincing yourself your limits were something they weren’t.

Blaming yourself for burnout you couldn’t name.

Since fElon Musk won't get diagnosed, my take is he's psychopathic, not autistic.

Psychopathy is a personality disorder characterized by a lack of empathy, manipulative behavior, shallow emotions, and antisocial tendencies. Psychopaths often exploit others intentionally and lack remorse.

They got the idea from Ronald Reagan, who got Iran to agree not to release the hostages until he was president, who got the idea from Richard Nixon, who got South Vietnam to agree not to agree to peace before he was president.

Who cares if Americans get killed? Republicans wanted power.

California’s on fire, and while the GOP is busy blaming DEI and concocting conspiracies, Canada and Mexico are busy saving lives.
Thank You to Canada and Mexico
Bless you.

I just want to live in a country that cares for its population 😭
Feeling tremendous guilt that I can’t contribute to every single Go Fund Me myself, as if I alone were meant to be the public safety net.

Thou shalt not blame California wildfires on ‘God punishing liberals.’ By that logic, God flooded the Bible Belt in October to punish morons.

Friendships, relationships, and passion projects need effort but they should not feel forced.

Things shouldn't feel like you are pushing a big stone up a hill.

Let go where you need to because that makes room for new connections and opportunities.
