Extreme results come from extreme preparation.
Years of reading hard books shows in your conversations. Years of a strict diet shows in your energy. Years of consistency shows in your confidence. Years of focus shows in your results.

I am a high school chemistry teacher. For years, I encountered students who did not know their multiplication tables and it interfered with their ability to understand chemistry. This year, I decided to take matters into my own hands. ⬇️

I cannot overstate the value of reading books written by people who have READ A LOT OF BOOKS. Reading one book of dense cultural criticism/history by a highly literate person who is constantly citing sources is almost like reading 100 books. It opens previously locked worlds

a writing tip I learned from Joan Didion that has truly changed the way I process and use words is she would write ‘xx’ if she couldn’t think of the precise word that belonged in a certain place and come back to find it later as to not interrupt the flow of what she was writing, this way the flow of the form could come out and the precise words—that are somewhere inside of you and simply taking longer to surface than the others—can come to you later, they are already there they are simply taking their time to arise and that shouldn’t interrupt the flow of language seeping out of you in a moment of inspiration

My heart is with my community of Washington, D.C., friends in a time of stress and a terrible local plane crash.

It makes international news, but D.C. is also a locale with real people.

Trump: “Get out and vote just this time. You won't have to do it anymore. Four more years it will be fixed. It'll be fine. You won't have to vote anymore...In four years you don't have to vote again. We'll have it fixed so good your not gonna have to vote.”

Next week I'm going to learn 150 names so that I can address all of my students personally & properly. It's the least that I can do in my classroom to be respectful
