@nathaliejacoby1 Yes, quite a few people.

@J9Talley My family has had it for a few weeks. The rest of them are still working to get to 100%. I have long haul Covid and have these and/or other symptoms every day so I can’t be of much help. Take care and I hope you both feel better soon!

@DanWuori I am a retired kindergarten teacher and can relate to this!

@msrebeccabirch For me it is not the term as much as the people who were using it. It was the staff that picked up every new word and didn’t seem to have any originality. Don’t get me started on “instructional diet!”

Imagine a world where we said, what’s going on with the children? So many of them are angry and distressed after school. So many of them are shut in their bedrooms. So many of them are anxious and unhappy. So many of them disillusioned at 15. 1;

When I think I have heard it all-unbelievable!

[Dr. James Whitfield @DrJamesWhit]

Today (2022), a sitting US Senator, (R) Mike Braun, says states should still have the right to ban interracial marriages. No twisting of words. He said that.

This isn’t new. We’ve heard this “states rights” foolishness before! We deserve better leaders!

I just became the first U.S. Secretary of Education to call on President Biden to unilaterally cancel student loan debt. Can I count on you to retweet and help me hit 35k followers so we can spread the word?

[Vice President Kamala Harris Archived @VP46Archive]

Today’s verdict will not bring Ahmaud Arbery back, and it does not take away the pain of his loved ones. Still, it is a measure of justice that holds these men accountable. It also reminds us of the work we have left to do.

This is fantastic. The best response to Putin’s attempt to justify his invasion of Ukraine, and to his right wing propagandists here.

I am so tired of people implying that you aren’t a good teacher if you dare scrutinize the system you are a part of.

I say it’s time we all demand the things we love and believe in to do better.

@_IsaiahMcKenzie Don’t think about how you should feel. Just rest and let yourself feel. Before you know it, you will be excited for next season. I know I am!
