Reminds of this.

Everything about this makes my head hurt. He's wearing what appears to be a swim suit, holding a football helmet , palming a basketball, standing on a soccer field. And the cheerleaders are shirtless men.

@Microinteracti1 Holding a football helmet, wearing swim trunks, palming basketball on a soccer field. It all makes my head hurt.

[Beth Hawks @PhysicsHawk]

@barbisblue @AlecMacGillis Yes, but it wasn't on record at a large scale for strangers to pile on with. This is different.

I taught for 25 years, so I've observed the change.

[Beth Hawks @PhysicsHawk]

@ConcernWitness @AlecMacGillis Not at the same scale. Not as quickly. And not in a way that couldn't be relieved by going home at the end of the day.

[Beth Hawks @PhysicsHawk]

@ami1832 @AlecMacGillis Me too. It's dispiriting.

[Beth Hawks @PhysicsHawk]

@AbhiDhabi5 @AlecMacGillis "And probably a bigger thing"?

I agree that bullying has long been a problem, but In what way was it bigger before it could be shared on a massive scale in seconds and didn't stop when you went home?

Asking as a 25 year teacher.

@TrudiBlech86 @DavidAFrench Tell me you haven't worked in a school without telling me.

[Beth Hawks @PhysicsHawk]

@ecmulwray @DavidAFrench That's fun between friends. Publicly posting a lonely classmate is not the same thing.

[Beth Hawks @PhysicsHawk]

@straytwt @DavidAFrench They will, but phones make the scale of the shaming astronomically bigger.

[Beth Hawks @PhysicsHawk]

@DavidAFrench It's been a problem with locker rooms for a while as well (and harder for staff to monitor for obvious reasons).

@CoreyWriting AI wouldn't exist without the collective creativity of humans. These guys are making money off of stolen intellectual property. That's not capitalism either.

[Beth Hawks @PhysicsHawk]

@JuliusCaesar108 @thescottbarber Well aware. I've been a Christian for nearly 5 decades.

But this "God is a verb, not a noun" business. Yikes! That has real implications for nature of God heresies that were settled centuries ago.

[Beth Hawks @PhysicsHawk]

@ajjuliani Of course it shouldn't the whole experience. The pendulum has to stop swinging from one extreme to the other. Encoding and reinforcing are both needed and happen in different ways.

[Beth Hawks @PhysicsHawk]

@ats1025 @ajjuliani That's a fantastic book.

[Beth Hawks @PhysicsHawk]

@LauraON72 @ktormreport @tes Yeah, there's just something about a screen that says, "Click through me as quickly as you can" rather than "Engage deeply with me like I matter."

I just ate a piece of smoked cheese and a flashback to being a kid (maybe 9 years old) at Granny's house. She gave me different types of cheese. When I liked the smoked one, she told me I was like my dad.

I don't know why that popped into my head.
