I just bought $7,366 in #Powerball tickets for tonight’s $1 billion drawing for our #lotterypool. If we win, $1,000 for each retweet of this pic.

The disability community lost an icon last night. #LoisCurtis's lawsuit is foundation for the right of people with #disabilities to live in the community. What she wanted for herself and for others are the things we all desire, to be free. That is the heart of #Olmstead.

Students with disabilities are general education students first.

They have incredible potential, like all learners, and bring unique superpowers to the classroom. Inclusion makes learning better for everyone! #EDBusTour22 #RoadToSuccess

Me, a 9-yo watching West Side Story (1961): "Why do these supposedly tough kids keep singing and dancing?"

My 9-yo niece, watching West Side Story (2021): "Why does this nonbinary kid want to join a white nationalist street gang?"

When a fire alarm went off that wasn’t clearly a drill, I was in a 3rd floor classroom, told to shelter in place. My teacher said “don’t worry, the doors have a 3-hour burn time.”
