As frustrating as this clip is to watch, it is an important model.

Coates demonstrates how to respond to mainstream dehumanization with intellectual precision and moral clarity.

Love this! Rarely would we want done to us, what we do to our students (as suffering through admin-lead meetings/pd often reminds us...)

@wbgames DL Suicide Squad and - SURPRISE! - it doesn't work. When will you fix this issue? Seconds of research shows it's a KNOWN issue and you are refusing to acknowledge it, fix it or refund. When will it work?

[dixie @dix_ie]

@PlayStation When does your responsibility to costumers begin? You stole 6K+ from me in the fall and now won't refund for a game that knowingly doesn't work bc the rules YOU CREATED don't support customers. How is this legal? You have one lawsuit, when does the next start?

Found this labelled as "adhd trap" and I couldn't agree more. Had the kid and I instantly and completely hooked. #adhd

…end in the garden of regret
with time's bell tolling grief
and pain,
grief for the grass
that is older than adam,
grief for what is born human,
grief for what is not.

This poem by @kathyfish really got me this morning. Beautiful and gut-wrenching all at once.

New BA5 variant of the omicron—the most contagious yet—detected in northwestern Shaanxi province. It’s capital XiAn, a city of 13M, will be under partial lockdown measures for a week. Public venues, pri &sec schools, rural markets closed and no dine-in allowed. #ZeroCovid

Just realized it’s been [many] months (!!) since I’ve had an in-depth, meaningful conversation with anyone (besides my therapist). I genuinely think it might not have even happened in 2022.
