I care about teaching kids, good (or trashy) television, great books, and understanding others. ❤️ she/her. Views and opinions shared are my own.

Pope Leo: "Someone who says 'I'm against abortion', but is in favor of the death penalty, is not really pro-life. Someone who says 'I'm against abortion, but I'm in agreement with the inhuman treatment of immigrants who are in the United States', I don't know if that's pro-life."

i somehow never realized that you’re just awake for like 16+ hours while giving birth, and then once you’re done with this incredibly taxing endeavor, you’re handed a baby that needs to eat every 3 hours.

There’s schools in New Mexico open 4 days a week bc they can’t afford Friday. Schools in Baltimore close when it’s too hot bc they cant afford AC. In whole counties in South Dakota people die a decade before everyone else. But there’s always money for bombs. Alway money for bombs

Since LA is on fire and part of the south is frozen, I think it’s a good time to remind everyone or tell for the first time that ChatGPT and other forms for AI are contributing to the rapid warming of our planet.

Sarah McBride: "It is an attempt to distract ... Every single time we hear them say the word 'trans,' look what they're doing with their right hand. Look at what they're doing to pick the pocket of American workers, to fleece seniors by privatizing Social Security and Medicare."

90% of it is luck and I wish more people would be honest about it. You didn’t do anything special to meet your person. You don’t “earn” another human. Happy for you, but you got lucky and felt they were worth putting in the skill and work in maintaining the relationship.

Kamala Harris will be the first president in history with experience in all three branches of government—judicial, legislative, and executive. So to say this woman is "not qualified" or experienced to be president is solely based on racism and misogyny.

[Alex Cole @acnewsitics]

The video we have all been waiting for. Kamala Harris on SNL tonight! Share to piss off Donald Trump. 🤣

[Brad Weinstein @WeinsteinEdu]

You can end the workday and come back the next morning and pick up where you left off in most jobs.

You can't just show up and teach in the morning without spending time outside of work hours preparing for the day.

This has been normalized as a profession, and it can't go on.

Why do I have my parent teacher conferences the day after Election Day?! 🫠🫠

[Sophie Vershbow @svershbow]

The casualness with which people are scheduling meetings for next week as if we're not going to be in a fugue state for multiple days just trying to survive is alarming to me.

[Emily Katherine @Emily_Educator]

@madbutwright @edtechmathteach Was coming to say that lol

[Zack Bornstein @ZackBornstein]

how dare you call America a sexist country when a competent qualified woman with no scandals is running tied with a convicted sex predator who attempted a coup on live TV

Couldn’t have said it any more clearly:

[maxine maxine. 🇬🇩📚🍉✨ @mminthecity]

the reason i think about this stuff a lot is because when i hear "children aren't reading" or "children aren't playing outside" or "children aren't socializing well with others", my first thought is always ADULTS generally aren't doing that. how could children be doing it? 🤣😂

[andrea @teachbk]

I've never met a teacher who would deny students phonics knowledge. I have, however, met teachers who would deny students access to books.

If your advocacy is based on restricting rather than expanding literacy opportunities maybe it's not the other side in need of balance
