@Alice_J_Grimm I would have guessed yes until recently (BIL), but my sister says he didn’t vote. She’s a registered Republican who voted straight Dem this time (and voted for H Clinton and Biden in the past). My family is not religious, fwiw.

@TracyZager I followed a link from here to sign up to follow 150ish math people but now I can’t remember who posted it. I wanted to ask them to add me. I guess it could wait till I actually get my act together there…

[Julie R Wright @julierwright]

@TracyZager I’m going to try it too! julierwright there also

@onasty8 Hi, just listening

[Dr. Mia Brett @QueenMab87]

This isn’t vote shaming. It’s stating a fact. Harris losing will not move the party further left. It will not “teach them a lesson.” I understand why some people feel they can’t vote for her but reckon with the harm electing Trump will cause & don’t pretend her losing will help

[Julie R Wright @julierwright]

@averypickford Yes, frequently!

@robertkaplinsky @openmiddle I’m thinking that is not how you want a third grader to reason, though. 😉

[Julie R Wright @julierwright]

@robertkaplinsky @openmiddle I didn’t realize this was for 3rd grade so I solved for x(12-x)=24 & got 6 plus sqrt 12 and 6 – sqrt 12 for sides. Then if the one with perimeter 24 is “skinnier” than that its area will be smaller, and if it’s “squarer” (like 6×6) it will be larger.

@OBrienSci @mistahbee45 I just want to validate that you are doing all the right things and trying so hard and that while you can have some effect, a classroom-only solution is doomed. So try to organize the teachers to push for school wide/admin supported.

[Julie R Wright @julierwright]

@gshsmathmom @OBrienSci @GenuinelyJo That’s what we are doing at my school now, and it’s transformative. BUT the same thing didn’t work at all on an individual classroom level, only when the whole high school is doing it and the administrators committed to taking phones on a second infraction.

@ShanaVWhite It was good stuff. Also very healing after the last one!

[Julie R Wright @julierwright]

@RachelLitLady1 Please keep in mind she may be getting misleading advice. My program insisted we should be speaking up in meetings as professionals right from the start 🙄 Also, I’m a little concerned about you putting this detailed negative stuff out for the whole world. Could she see it?

[Julie R Wright @julierwright]

@Alice_J_Grimm I also find it kind of disturbing when people seem to feel beauty is on some kind of linear scale that everyone agrees on.

[Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley]

As we celebrate Labor Day, we must recognize the sinister loophole in our 13th Amendment, which allows for slavery “as punishment for a crime.” Slavery and forced labor should be illegal, no exceptions. That’s why @RepNikema and I are working to pass the Abolition Amendment.

[Julie R Wright @julierwright]

@anniek_p Absolutely… and this pick makes me happy and hopeful because it shows Harris is willing to listen.

[Julie R Wright @julierwright]

@Tim_Walz It’s because you told your daughter they are vegetables.

@dr_nickiw I also just got my first case while traveling (as did several other family members this month, separately). Good luck getting off light (I did). Getting it less often and post/vaccination is still good, so at least we have the masks to thank for that.
