Teachers, you're the glue holding school communities together—Miss B's ingenious strategy is just one of many examples of why.

[Prof. Katharine Hayhoe @KHayhoe]

There's lots of announcements and news coming out of #COP28. I'm here to rank them for you from a climate scientist's perspective, using 🌴 for the wins and 🤦‍♀️ for the facepalms.

Did I miss something? Let me know and I'll add it to this list! #ClimateAction #COP28FromHome 🧵

All journalists will understand this.

I really need to know how people were winning Perfect Attendance awards in elementary school. Were they TRULY never sick? Were they Unbreakable? Or were they just coming in to school miserable?

@KendraWrites Babysat my 2- and 4-year-old neighbors when I was 11! Our other neighbor (a thoughtful mom) sometimes stuck her head out to make sure we were okay, but yeah, different times…

[Sukee Bennett @Sukee_B]

Definitely thought GRWM stood for “grown woman” and not “get ready with me.” 🤦🏻‍♀️

[Prof. Katharine Hayhoe @KHayhoe]

Here are the big takeaways from the @IPCC_CH Synthesis Report released today.

First, climate change has already caused widespread and substantial losses to almost every aspect of human life on this planet, and the impacts on future generations depend on the choices we make NOW.

I would have fangirled so, so hard if I were a student in one of these classrooms. 😍

[Dr. Earyn McGee, Lizard lassoer 🦎 @Afro_Herper]

I got to present to some TK, 1st, & 5th grade classes at my mom’s school for career day. We talked lizards and how I made a career of studying them. It was a really amazing opportunity and some of the students even sent me thank you art/letters which’ll live in my cubicle🦎💜

@stickyfrogs My condolences. She was a bright light (with the best smile) indeed ❤️

This is the way 👇🏼

[Kimberly Nguyen-Poet Laureate of Pay Transparency @knguyenpoetry]

My company just listed on LinkedIn a job posting for what I’m currently doing (so we’re hiring another UX writer) and now thanks to salary transparency laws, I see that they intend to pay this person $32k-$90k more than they currently pay me, so I applied.

[National Park Service @NatlParkService]

If you come across a bear, never push a slower friend down…even if you feel the friendship has run its course.⁣⁣

[Marc DesJardins @mrcrankyeditor]

So maybe I was a little premature labeling the flurry situation a bust at the lower elevations of the Santa Cruz Mountains. Here’s what it looked like at 323 feet of elevation at 8:50 a.m. @NWSBayArea @DrewTumaABC7 @SPaulsonKTVU @danncianca @LookoutSCruz @scsentinel @theSCLocal

I LOVE EM DASHES. (So does @AylinWoodward. At least I hope she still does🤞🏼)

[Ruth Serven Smith @RuthServenSmith]

Reporters when editors methodically cut each em dash in the copy.

[Mitchell Byars @mitchellbyars]

Just got a note from a reader whose father had four of his six grandchildren on lockdown in four different schools across Colorado this morning. While nobody was physically injured, what happened today cannot be forgotten.

[Sukee Bennett @Sukee_B]

I was in a shelter in place on Monday when someone fired shots in his hotel room at the Millennium Harvest House, about 450 ft from where I was. Now this. Whether a hoax or not, thoughts and prayers aren’t enough—they never were. #boulder https://t.co/V7TKOMpS9P

@Yamiche You’re a badass, Yamiche. Thank you for being a source of incredible news that grounded us through many intense years and circumstances.
