It IS better!

I’ve taken to saying “meh” when they give me a mediocre answer to something and then helping them workshop a better one!

They’re not lying; they often ask “do you want a regular answer or a Bond-level answer?”

But MAN, nobody will have my back like kids in front of the principal 😂😂😂

Principal comes in for an eval.

Students are in groups to grade a thesis statement. One group is frustrated and when I ask why, their group leader says, in front of principal,

“We’re just trying to figure out what to contribute to the discussion. You always expect such thorough answers.”

😂😭

Grateful to @poetrichardblanco.bsky.social for “My Father in English.”

As a Texas teacher in 2025, exposing students to stories of folks who made sacrifices that will impact generations of their family feels especially important.

(Shared with permission from the student)

Now my most favorite lines are "thank you/gracias for surrendering the past tense/ of
your life so that I might conjugate myself here/in the present of this country" (lines 29-31). Those
are words I wish to tell my parents one day due to them giving up their life in Mexico to be able
to create my life here in the US. They gave me more than what they ever had growing up and I
will always be forever grateful.

I saved enough for a YEAR off and retirement

It’s GONE

I’m not even special

And demographically ? Nobody gives a fuck and Republicans know it

And nothing is being done to stop it and it BROKE THE COUNTRY

why would they ever give this up when “libs” and “radicals” publicly aid them

Every mayor of a major city should follow his lead. (Looking at you Mattie Parker…)

How the FUCK are people still supporting an administration that’s doing absolutely nothing but racism and destroying our livelihoods?

Trump administration officials seriously discussing invoking Insurrection Act, sources say

I feel like I’ve been drowning lately; there are fewer and fewer pockets of air.

So when @msespo.bsky.social asked if she could send me this book, I was touched and grateful. Both Christine and Nikki Giovanni are pockets of air. 💛

At some point one of the Gestapo is going to pull the trigger in a crowd and America will be forced into a place it may not be able to ever fully recover from.

The fascists are going to end up killing a lot of people before this is all said and done.

I’m going to say it again, generative AI and the push for it to be used in every Avenue of learning and education is because generative AI literally is a weapon for knowledge destruction not a knowledge creation tool and silicon valleys goal is to monetize and gate off all of human knowledge

The more this is explained the worse it appears.

An AI-assisted textbook at UCLA has some academics worried

The UCLA literature professor who developed the textbook says it will save students money and allow her to be the teacher she’s always wanted to be. Others aren’t so sure.

My final project is a unit called “I Hear America Singing.”

My research claim is that Clint Smith’s “Counting Descent” is inspired by/in conversation with the poetry of Whitman and Hughes and creates and defines the poetic American ‘voice’ of its time period in the same ways.

Trey Reed, a student at Delta State University in Mississippi, was found hanging from a noose. Mississippi police ruled the death a suicide. Now an autopsy reportedly concludes that he suffered extensive blunt force trauma across his body before he died, meaning he was beaten before he was lynched.

Kaepernick-Funded Autopsy Reportedly Finds Trey Reed Didn’t Die by Suicide — Family Attorney Ben Crump Hasn’t Confirmed

According to a source who isn't authorized to comment publicly, the autopsy of Trey Reed reveals that his death was not caused by a suicide.

Gonna make a post about Artful AI and how much it’s helped me reframe AI in my brain, but I need to get more than 4 hours of sleep first, friend.

Are you gonna be at NCTE in Denver?

"What is your source, and what are its biases? How accurate is the information?" Is something that everyone should be asking, chatbot or no.

I feel like that's been forgotten, for both news & scholarly or general research. We showed our work in school for a reason. Skipping it's bad for our health.

Two of my favorite teachers!

While I think they should have invited me, I am digging this conversation SO MUCH because I just adore both of them.

"But at the same time the stakes feel higher, I feel like the solutions feel smaller."

One of the places @mrneibauer.bsky.social and I arrived in our conversation: we don't think adults are meeting the moment with their "solutions" right now.
