@EmilyDreyfuss One of the more delightful threads I have read on Twitter ever. Well done, everyone. Well done.

@isaiah_bb I teach high school. It’s real. Apps have made them less tech savvy.

@anne_theriault Kids will basically sell their parents if they can make their teachers/counselors do crazy things. Jumping in the lake fully clothed is always number 1 at camp.

It’s August, we said, in the South, we said. This must be why she’s drinking so much water <congratulatory high fives>.

If you're scrolling past this because you don't have diabetes and you think it doesn't apply to you—stop.

We already know the warning signs of DKA.

We need the rest of the world to learn how to spot undiagnosed T1D so we can save lives. https://t.co/kuP2SSsa4Y

We should all want to study “both sides of the Holocaust”. If we don’t understand why it happened, we are doomed to be perpetrators ourselves.

[Auschwitz Memorial @AuschwitzMuseum]

Studying about #Auschwitz demands looking at both sides of this human story.

We must talk about tragedy & suffering of victims (like Roosje Wolf) & try to understand motivation of perpetrators (like Karl Höecker).

Auschwitz warns us where ideologies of hatred can lead to.

@BrigidKemmerer @JMCwrites I just told my 15 to add Cursebreakers to her reading list, stat! Also Elementals, which is what started it all for me. ❤️❤️

If you are not following this account. You should be. Incredibly hard to look at every day, but beyond necessary and absolutely our duty. #WeRemember

1 February 1932 | A Dutch Jewish boy, Salomon Levie, was born in Meppel.

In October 1942 he was deported to #Auschwitz and, after selection, murdered in a gas chamber.

“You don’t have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them.” -R. Bradbury

[Amy Edwards @amy091898]

@ca_london Each year I celebrate Banned Books Week in my classroom. Lists are distributed. Guests come in and book talk their favorite banned books. Why? Because Bradbury was right - we don’t have to burn books to destroy a culture …

@BrigidKemmerer Plus, now you can hold it over him for daaayyyyyzzzzzz.

[Amy Edwards @amy091898]

@BrigidKemmerer People who think that “that’s how I do it” makes it the right way w/o bothering to actually check are 100% 🙄🙄🙄 vibes. I’m always amazed at how many people insist on exposing their foolish thinking to the world.

[Auschwitz Memorial @AuschwitzMuseum]

77 years ago today over 7,000 prisoners of the German Nazi camp #Auschwitz, including some 700 children, were liberated by the soldiers of the Soviet Army. 1,689 days of murder, pain, suffering, and humiliation were over. Today we all remember. We must remember. | #Auschwitz77

@pipewrenchmag @anne_theriault @MarshaGGordon I was managing a theater in TX and watched a man in cargo pants smuggle in enough Taco Bueno for a small army. Well played, sir. Proceed to your movie.

@BrigidKemmerer My husband, somehow and miraculously, was the only one to get COVID. Meanwhile the world kept turning, the kids kept needing things, and he couldn’t leave the bedroom until right before Christmas. School couldn’t start soon enough.

@BrigidKemmerer My Junior IB students will have you know that 1,000 words is the equivalent of 40 lashes and quite possibly the hardest thing ever. “I’m only at 867!!!! What more can I possible say?!?!”

[Amy Edwards @amy091898]

@CAgovernor @beyondoilgas The sheer amount of warehouses and trucks allowed to operate in the IE, some close to schools where athletes are outside, breathing (as one does), is appalling. Maybe we should remove ourselves from these glass houses before proclaiming ourselves leaders.

@MsDNHS I had a kid bring in a toddler training toilet that made flushing noises. He randomly flushed it during class. #awesome

@ElizabethKS Same. She’s such a great storyteller!

[Amy Edwards @amy091898]

@ElizabethKS Is it a Cassandra Clare book? Because I love me some Shadowhunters, but that woman loves a good tome.
