Looking forward to rolling up my sleeves as CA's first Surgeon General. Thank you @GavinNewsom for your bold vision for health for all Californians. #preventscreenandheal!
Couldn’t agree more. I’m hearing more and more of these poorly thought-through practices that claim to be ‘trauma-informed’. We must continue teaching about the complexities of theses issues. And honor each individual as unique.
Oh, my heart. She has left us such a legacy with her beautiful talent & words. One of my favorites from 'Heavy': "but how you carry it - books, bricks, grief - it’s all in the way you embrace it, balance it, carry it." Rest well, #MaryOliver.
I stand with the #LAUSDteachersstrike! I've been in two strikes with the @CTULocal1 - I will never forget how much my feet hurt, or how much tea I drank to *try* to get my voice back. I was chanting in my sleep. Stay strong - solidarity!
How is #LAUSDStrike similar to struggles facing teachers across the nation?

Good morning.
Disabled actors for disabled roles.
Trans actors for trans roles.
Queer actors for queer roles.
Actors of color for roles of color.
And then just ya know... keep hiring them for more roles!
🙏
@ValeriaBrownEdu A1: I see this in our Juvenile Temp Detention Centers. Our kids are pushed into prisons as children often off of the basis of white rage. The climb out of that as your foundation is SO hard for our youth. #ClearTheAir
@ValeriaBrownEdu White girl from middle class background, my side of the divide is easy - and I’m constantly learning, listening, and unlearning. It’s a long road that will never end. /2
Good afternoon, friends.
Why is it that we respond to children who are upset with more yelling? Would that ever make a child, or a person of any age, have a positive mood change?
How do we work towards retraining our own teacher brains to respond with gentleness?
