Hey, Friends—
It’s been a while since I checked in—
Just getting ready to delete this account and wanted to say that I would like to see you again over at bluesky. You can find me there.

@borbasusie @edutopia @NSTA @WeAreCTA In addition to saving your sanity, consider this reason… a FOIA request might make your personal world more public than you would like!

@JakeSternBPS Nope. Only big hills around here are artificial ones— like the collapsing reservoir of processing waste...

[Pam Pelletier @SciencePam]

Sigh... should we trust their evacuation map??

[Thuy Lan Nguyen (say it like twee-lawn winn) @ThuyLanNews]

If the retention pond breaches, there could be a 20 ft wall of water rushing over homes and land so everyone in evac zone is strong encouraged to leave.

53 years ago today.

One week after my 5th birthday.

You were gone.

Assassinated for answering a call to conscience, for speaking truth to power, for being a drum major for justice who sought to rid the world of racism, militarism and poverty.

I miss you. Still. Always.

[Keith Boykin @keithboykin]

Lester Holt is exactly right. Journalists need not cover “both sides” of issues when one side is demonstrably false.

If someone says the sun sets in the west, you don’t need an alternative voice to say it doesn’t.

“Our duty is to be fair to the truth.”

I am especially interested in @MCGPublicSafety’s response as I live in that area, about a quarter mile to the east of Bud Rhoden Road, with about 1,000 other households...

[Dave Kent @DaveK113355]

@MCGPublicSafety Can someone in public safety explain why the new expanded zone did not include the area directly to the south?

[Nicole123 @Nicole136991823]

@MCGPublicSafety Anyone in the evacuation zone with livestock, I have a 2 acre fenced pasture on my property. Cows, horses, goats or pigs...please share with farm owners! Message me for contact info.

[Pam Pelletier @SciencePam]

@MCGPublicSafety Thanks for the map update. That helps tremendously. Would appreciate any changes to be shared that way as well.

[Pam Pelletier @SciencePam]

@ManateeGov @V_Baugh How far south should evacuate? Lots of streets east-west, even north— but how far south? Maybe 10-15 homes nearby, but due south, well over 1,000...

Two awesome BPS teachers quoted in the @OpenSciEd article—such great work from @BostonSchools’ @grymonpre @CitrinMaria Thanks, @KateMcNeill6

Have you seen how a phenomena can spark student inquiry and ignite their love of #science? Hear WHY teachers AND students experience a paradigm shift when using our free science units that are aligned to the #NGSS #OpenEd #MaterialsMatter https://t.co/TIxhDdLH5a

@happy2bmad @r0se1ynn @cjdugg Do you know of summer programs yet? And @r0se1ynn — it would be awesome if @BostonSchools considered a different model for summer programming...

[Pam Pelletier @SciencePam]

@juliecaldarone Sweet fresh air...

@jimsciutto Why is CNN not talking about all of the Jan 6th assaults on state capitol buildings or public servants’ residences?!?

[Pam Pelletier @SciencePam]

@chriscmartell I guess it just breaks my heart *that* image could still represent *this* country. Living where I do now, that flag is still common place—only outnumbered by trump flags. It is a painful reminder for those who have been and still are oppressed in this country.

[Pam Pelletier @SciencePam]

@dunneteach Had one a long time ago—loved it.
