There aren't words; very grateful to have been the recipient of @actecareertech Teacher Educator of the Year Award.

[Laura VW @LauraVDubs]

People can suffocate from not being seen and understood.

That moment when you realize your "ppwer up" anthem has been sanitized and put into the middle of a Paw Patrol movie. #Iloveit #notreally #alittlesad, but my daughter did love it. @iconapop

Shout this from the rooftops. We talk about inflation and avoid dollar-to-dollar comparisons everywhere else. Why do we allow that argument to stand for public ed funding? OF COURSE we spend more money now than we did 10 years ago? Gotta think beyond 'counting.'

I'm still working on the acceptance bit (I hold this internal delusion that maybe there IS still a special Marie Kondo/Erin Condren/unicorn out there). But when I'm accepting of myself, I can do magical things.

[Jessica McCabe @HowtoADHD]

The best thing I ever did for my self esteem was letting go of the idea that the right productivity system would make it so I didn’t have ADHD anymore

Now I can just enjoy the chaos and be proud of myself when I manage any level of organization at all 😎

[Laura VW @LauraVDubs]

I feel so seen.

You know you're conferencing when you randomly run into an @actecareertech & @ECMCFoundation fellow on a street corner in Baltimore when your prof orgs overlap. @RoboticChemist, always good to see you. #actefellow #cte

[Laura VW @LauraVDubs]

Grateful and blessed to be chosen as the @actecareertech #RegionIII CTE Teacher Educator of the Year.

Incredible quiz! On point! Was it said on Parks & Rec or during the Iowa Legistlative session?

[Iowa Starting Line @IAStartingLine]

The 2023 Iowa Legislative Session is over but it left us with a number of quotes that sound like something out of "Parks and Recreation."

Can you tell which quotes were said on the show and which were said during the session? #ialegis

@RobSandIA *sigh* how much flack are you going to take for admitting to this?

[Laura VW @LauraVDubs]

My ex-husband Sean Kearney passed away this past Wednesday. Sean has four children whom I love and care for deeply. I'd like to ask for your support in helping them with the funeral, memorial, and other costs associated with his death. https://t.co/TGjOU3Mhst

I've long proposed- after $999,999,999, you get a gold star. There's no reason individuals need to possess this much wealth. We need to stop viewing billionaires as role models that everyone could "potentially become" and view them as bloated dragons hoarding resources.

also this. kids, man

[Laura VW @LauraVDubs]

I'm sorry, but. . . what? I can't tell if this is just bananas or truly spiteful, but it certainly isn't "fiscally responsible"

[Ty Rushing @Rushthewriter]

As the hearing continues, I should note there is little reported fraud in these programs

@TheBloggess I'm glad you are in my state, but it's a sad day for books here. And youth. And pretty much all the things.

[Laura VW @LauraVDubs]

@Rushthewriter Which in is the teacher re-education one? There are so many, it's impossible to keep track of them all.

[Laura VW @LauraVDubs]

@traviszinnel I fully recognizing this was just a Google search away, but I hadn't realized she wrote non-fiction.

[Laura VW @LauraVDubs]

@traviszinnel ooh, what's the book? Familiar with Ursula, but don't recognize this.
