Accessible self directed education as the gateway to the collaborative, sustainable and just future we so desire. she/her

It's awful when your child is miserable in school. Recently multiple friends have told me that school is not working for their child. Don't rule out unschooling or a self directed education school.
Kids' sense of self returns when the school vice grip is released.

People of #Maui #MauiFires I can not reach my Uncle. His name is Mark Stefl. He’s the only 7 foot dude on the island. He’s a well known tile contractor, avid bike rider and just an overall good human. Please help me find him.

Spoutible has more features than all of the Twitter alternatives, and it is the only app with anti-abuse tools, enhanced blocking, and collaborative threading. Stop settling for media-hyped apps with basic features.

Ok, i'm over my pity party over a failed 16th birthday.

One thing for sure though I refuse to wait until i'm 17 years old to hit my goal of $1M on my filter.

So my goal for this week is to hit $750k which I am about $20k to this goal.

Let's make my birthday wish come true even if its still after my bday, one step at a time. Maybe we can hit the goal before the year ends.

If you left your almost-full journal and a copy of Aurelius’ “Meditations” on the Q train, DM me so I can send them back to you. I know I’d be heartbroken if I lost my diary.

1. Tennessee House Speaker @CSexton25 led the charge to expel two elected members for violating "rules of decorum."

But a Popular Information investigation has uncovered evidence Sexton is violating a more fundamental rule: THE STATE CONSTITUTION

DeSantis tried to destroy my reputation, undermine my credentials and work, intimidate me by ordering an armed raid on my home, silence me by jailing me, and threaten me with prison for refusing to drop my whistleblower case. He failed every time.

It's been three weeks since we filed our lawsuit against the state.

Last night, they arrested my son for non- threatening snapchat memes. The officer said it was the state's call.

That corrupt, fascist pig is about to find out that the runway people gave him to defame and attack me isn't there when you kidnap and charge 13 year old autistic kids whose parents happen to be your 'worst nightmare' with felony threats of terrorism for sharing snapchat memes.

I have been through this media circus before. I'm not the 30-year-old naive scientist that I was when this all started.

I'm going to take every ounce of pain, fear and helplessness I'm feeling right now into saving my son and making sure you never escape what you've done.

What might it look like if instead of spending all her energy & Bloomberg's money to lie about bail reform, Gov. Hochul instead slammed the GOP for playing politics w/ lives & tax dollars? Explained how much discretion judges already have to set bail, and how often they do it?

[Scott Hechinger @ScottHech]

I’m sick right now about what’s going on in NY. Every single politician knows how successful bail reform has been so far. They’ve seen years worth of evidence. But, right now, they’re again considering completely gutting the law bc of “public opinion” they’ve refused to educate.

[Scott Hechinger @ScottHech]

Conservative NY Gov. Kathy Hochul (masquerading as a Democrat) has been lying to the NY public, then citing polls based on these created misperceptions, to quench her thirst for more tragedies like this one. Needlessly. Shamelessly. Contrary to all facts & reason. An abomination.

[Scott Hechinger @ScottHech]

You didn’t hear about this. The cruelest NYC Mayor in history—Eric Adams—just cut Medicare for 250k retirees in NY. His next target—in partnership w/ MAGA Republicans & NY’s new conservative Governor (masquerading as a Democrat)—repealing bail reform. Don’t buy what he’s selling.

[Mercer Carlin @Merlinworks]

@AbromeEd So great Antonio. You really have held the line -- even as the rest of the world has pretended that this is all over and not to worry about a thing. I think the students and the parents will thank you for years to come as long covid continues to impact so many people.

BREAKING: dozens of tenants and homeless New Yorkers are blocking the entrance to @GovKathyHochul’s office for 78 minutes — for the 78,000 New Yorkers currently homeless.

Well, the mask is off, if it was ever really on. As I predicted, the TikTok ban has evolved into blatant censorship of the internet. Let's talk about it. Big rant incoming, but if you enjoy continuing to have even some semblance of personal freedom, you're gonna wanna listen

The Los Angeles Police Department posted and then deleted this poll when they realized that it wasn’t going the way they expected.

[Dr Sandro Demaio @SandroDemaio]

In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. The reason: The country applies a “Housing First” concept. Those affected by homelessness receive a small apartment and counselling – without any preconditions. And: This policy is cheaper than accepting homelessness.
