@NYCTSubway are you really testing the escalators at 181 during rush hour? People just called an ambulance for a woman; and it’s gonna keep happening. The management of those escalators is an equity issue and the @MTA consistently fails.

If a formal observation is the first time you are in a teachers classroom, then put the evaluation form away. Sit, listen, and then leave a note of thanks, praise or encouragement. Relationships first!

There are no words for what it feels like to show up to work at a school the day after another school shooting. Fuck this gun obsessed country and its god damn guns.

It’s not the doors
It’s not books
It’s not CRT
It’s not drag queens

It’s the guns that are endangering kids.

Late Fragment

And did you get what
you wanted from this life, even so?
I did.
And what did you want?
To call myself beloved, to feel myself
beloved on the earth.

Christmas is about believing what a woman said about her sex life.

Christmas is about a family finding safety as refugees.

Christmas is about a child in need receiving support from the wealthy.

Christmas is about God identifying with the marginalized, not the powerful.

Lucille Bridges — who braved death threats and racist slurs to escort her daughter to a formerly all-white school in 1960 — has died. She was 86.

"Our nation lost a Mother of the Civil Rights Movement today," said her daughter, Ruby Bridges.
