I laugh loud and long and love cheering people on in their learning and their lives! My students think I'm outrageous and I like it that way! #yukoned #yntep

Looking at getting a permit to be married at an Ontario school since I can have 500+ guests.

Tables of 30 per classroom.

Who wants an invite?

@YukonRadioDave Atlin Lake, (the Yukon bit), with a view of Mt. Minto in the distance, the waves crashing and me beachcombing. Ahhhhh, heavenly.

[Dianna Roch Symanski @DiGoesToSchool]

Wow. Such a difficult decision! I’m curious... what do you think?

[Paul Emerich France, #MakeTeachingSustainable @SustainTeaching]

Well, I quit my teaching job today.

It wasn’t easy. I’ve been doing this for ten years.

But I was tired. Tired of negotiating my values and my humanity. Tired of saying yes when I really wanted to say no. Tired of smiling and nodding when I wanted to shake my head.

[EJ Boyd @penguinejab]

Love this! For some reason when I look at this I keep thinking of @tweetsomemoore ‘s dot diagrams!

Dear Nice Christian Folks who feel the need to scold me for using bad words,
It's ok to unfollow me. Really. You'll be fine!
The Christian publishing/podcasting/speaking/influencing world is your oyster. Be free. Be blessed. Clutch your pearls elsewhere. #abundance

"Am I co-escalating, or co-regulating?" 🔎 This is an important question to ask ourselves as we get through these days. Thank you, @kwiens62 for these graphics. 🙏 To access this and other graphics from Kristin visit: https://t.co/zpnDGbiJvZ 🎉 #OntEd #BCed #EdResources

When we hit that wall, sometimes courage looks like scaling it or breaking through it. AND, sometimes courage is building a fort against the wall and taking a nap.

Hard days are real because this is hard.

Stay awkward, kind and brave enough to rest and feel,
❤️👊❤️, BB

Reminded lately of wisdom from an old friend. Educators live by this all the time, but now, more than ever! @ajjuliani @gcouros @KatieNovakUDL @CyndiOFork

[George Couros @gcouros]

Focus on connection first, everything else second. And a very DISTANT second.

[⚧ 🇨🇦 justice for 🇺🇦 @amteve]

At Dunkirk, Churchill insisted French soldiers be rescued in equal number to British. That was a true ally.

On 9/11, Gander Canada cared for EVERY American redirected there. A true ally.

With Covid-19, US President Trump told 3M NOT to send N95 masks to Canada. ...

Bringing #nature into #learning, perhaps we should do our own #Dubai version?! @kwiens62 #inclusion

I'm breathing this in this morning. Yum. https://t.co/GLNww7EpKq

[Lin-Manuel Miranda @Lin_Manuel]

Gmorning
This feeling will pass.
This workload will pass.
These people will pass.
But look at you, with the gift of memory.
You can time travel to the good stuff just by closing your eyes & breathing.
Then come right back to now, eyes up for the good stuff ahead.
You magic thing.

Agreed! "They should say sorry as many times as the victims need to hear it." #reconciliation #apologiesmatter #repairingtheharm #yntep https://t.co/xhvLomvgaZ

[Cindy Blackstock @cblackst]

I urge all MP's to vote for this motion and all voters to remember this as you cast your vote next year. When any group does such horrific harms to children over such a long time; they should say sorry (and show it in their actions) as many times as the victims need to hear it. https://t.co/8SpO14cxtH

Exactly. Swap out "black" for "indigenous" in my world. Same idea. How do I use my white privilege? #whiteprivilegeaware #whitesettler #WhitePrivilege #yntep #yukoned https://t.co/aGGBEPy4Bv

[Raising Kane @eugene_kane]

Dear White People:
When Black folks say you're 'privileged', they don't mean you were born rich or don't have to struggle to make a living.
We're talking about the privilege of having White skin that immediatley protects you from some stuff in society.
Try to understand.
