@The_Autism_Dad I think the time feel most like a failure is when I find myself daydreaming about what it would be like if he were typically developing. I feel like I fail him because I need to be stronger and more accepting, even though I am 99% of the time.

@biblio_phile The first job I had the principal told me she used to stay until 10 at night when she first started teaching, and if I wasn’t willing to do the same I might want to change professions. Super toxic work environment.

@TheJLV I did a lesson with my students today on inclusivity. They could identify actions in which to include students, but when asked in what ways does language exclude people, they were stumped.

@mochamomma When I participated I noticed how many WP were at the start line, and how many POC were toward the front. Heard a lot of grumbling, “see I made it and had no privilege.” Reinforcing bootstrap mentality.

I’m running for all voters and not writing anyone off: young people, people of color, women, lifelong democrats and even those 9 million @realDonaldTrump voters in 2016 who once voted for @BarackObama in 2008. #TogetherWeCan 🇺🇸

@TheJLV All these terms “equitable, voice, choice” etc, always get forced into the box of existing systems, and come out more palatable for the powers that be.

Some of the same teachers crowd funding flexible seating to create a “comfortable learning environment” are the same Ts freaking out about hoodies, hats, and chewing gum.

@csd @MLevineReports @davidfrum I live in his district - he's a P.O.S. & doesn't give a flying f*** about us.
I support @ACampaNajjar to #RepealAndReplaceDuncanHunterJr.

@angela_rye She should be ASHAMED of herself for using her child as a shield, and continues to defend a POtuS that threatens not only POC, disabled individuals, but all Americans with any shred of decency.

Me: Uh, my dad is white, my mom is Mexican?
C: I knew it! I thought you looked suspicious!
