ok i read through all the bios and ended up picking the same people as the local teacher's union, so that's fine. i hate that it's such an important role but it's a lot of work to just find out what people believe!

it's like, just TALK to your kids' teachers. just TALK TO THEM. they can explain why things are the way they are, but also you will affect how they view things going forward.

i'm sorry but if you're running for school board, and you have in your bio that you want parents to have more say in the curriculum, i am going to assume you are a book-banner. so if you're NOT a book-banner, don't put that in your bio, because that's how many people will read it.

This PBS News Hour segment on the “new” Virginia Woolf book *actually* acknowledges the archivist/archives and doesn’t attempt to frame it as a brand new discovery by the researcher this feels rather momentous📜

At least in these dark times I have the joy of listening to republicans try to so very pathetically squirm their way out of the mess they’ve made. It’s a small thing but it’s not nothing.

I’m learning how well you can use music to “adjust” your emotions though. It’s extremely helpful.

The energy of this Hank Green video raging against Sora (and GenAI in general) should be familiar to anyone who has mentioned AI anywhere near me in recent memory

tl;dr - there is no fucking way this technology should be in the hands of the mfers in charge of these companies, its a dangerous scam
