A learner, and a teacher, on the look out for connecting points in this journey of life.

Let’s grieve each Palestinian life lost.
And let’s grieve each Israeli life lost.
Every human being is equally precious and made in the image of God.

Let’s do all we can to work for peace, and for justice.

[Rev. Benjamin Cremer @Brcremer]

Beware of any Christian movement that demands the government be an instrument of God’s wrath but never a source of God’s mercy, generosity, or compassion.

@CarissasNewLife That has been a hard part in this journey: discovering that fundamentalism and judgement isn't limited to the EV world. And, realizing where I bring it with me. This deconstructing journey has layers and layers. I hang on to the fact that with each layer, there is more love too.

[Zach W. Lambert @ZachWLambert]

If anti-LGBTQ+ Christians were as serious about the Bible as they claim to be, they would be a lot more concerned with peace, love, and poverty alleviation than yelling at queer people.

@Dillawaney @SaintGimp Ah, so this isn't just a evangelical thing. . .

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but liberals don’t create Pride displays to make kids gay or trans; they create Pride displays so that the kids who already identify as gay or trans no longer feel marginalized, depressed, or try to take their own lives.

"Orca"

I cannot save the blue
No matter how much plastic
I eat.

I cannot reach the unknown gods
No matter how much
I sing.

We cannot go back to the way
things were, no matter how far
I swim.

But I can sink your boats.
It doesn't fix anything, but
it helps.

I wish everyone could go back to how they felt that day in November 2016 and then stop fucking around and just vote for Joe Biden. Go back and remember what it was like to wake up every day for four years with tightness in your chest.

Go read your tweets from November 2016.

I’m not saying Kaitlan Collins is a thief.

I doubt Chris Licht is in cahoots with Donald Trump

I’m just saying they aren’t negatively impacted when he steals.

That’s why they let him in the store

Every generation should read The Lord of the Rings and learn that men are allowed to show affection, that power corrupts, and that happiness does not come from being a ruler but from baking potatoes and snoozing in an armchair by the fire in your cosy Hobbit hole.

Maybe this is where I say I'm glad I'm in Washington. This student could follow areas in history important to him that other states have shut down tight. Representation matters.

[Tamarah Lee @lee_tamarah]

Today I lost my one student who allowed class to be a Lit circle instead of a teacher doing her best to help students connect. And, my chronic under performer WOWED us with his history project. (He found something that mattered in his life and ran with it.) Win some. Lose some.

@angryseattle Some established natives are gasping for air, too. Moss shouldn't be growing in those places . . .

[Tamarah Lee @lee_tamarah]

@lee_kesia Existed. Lucky to exist.

[Tamarah Lee @lee_tamarah]

@Dillawaney Turns out that this is the very truth that tells us we need each other. So we can have access to everyone's super powers, instead of feeling like a failed super hero.

[Tamarah Lee @lee_tamarah]

Classes like that last one make me eat all the Valentine candy at once.

I just don't even know what my win is anymore with these kids. What is it they need to bring curiosity and imagination into their learning?!

[Boze Herrington, Library Owl 😴🧙‍♀️ @SketchesbyBoze]

in one of Terry Pratchett’s books Granny Weatherwax says “Sin, young man, is when you treat people as things. Including yourself,” and I think half the evils in the world come from forgetting that other people are human.

@FiveThirtyEight The discussion was rich and varied, and aware that this same conversation will look drastically different a year from now.

[Tamarah Lee @lee_tamarah]

@FiveThirtyEight There were many teachers using ChatGTP as a creative search engine to design deeper units, or to create work that the students could analyze. Many teachers were very skeptical, as were teaching experts on the panel.
