I mean, I usually create something and try it out a few places. Then reuse it. So when I’m in those iterations, I’d love feedback.

Also, would love just to hear your ideas of what makes for good slides. I tend to go text light and talk heavy. Meaning my slides don’t really “say” much.

Literally zip-tied *children*

The cruelty is the point.

Nathan Kalman-Lamb @nkalamb.bsky.social · 6d

“Fuck them kids.”

That’s literally what an ICE agent said when ICE, the FBI et al. raided an apartment in Chicago, including with a Blackhawk helicopter, separated children from their parents, and zip-tied them to each other.

bangs.

"They was terrified. The kids was crying. People was screaming. They looked very distraught. I was out there crying when I seen the little girl come around the corner, because they was bringing the kids down, too, had them zip tied to each other," Watson said. "That's all I kept asking. What is the morality? Where's the human? One of them literally laughed. He was standing right here. He said, 'f*** them kids.'"

Watson said trucks and military-style vans were used to separate parents from their children. Other neighbors said agents destroyed property to get in the building.

"They had a big, 15-inch chainsaw with round blade on it, cutting this fence down," said witness Darrell Ballard. "We're under siege. We're being invaded by our own military."

Thanks Julie. Helpful (to my mental health, especially) to hear that others feel the same. 💙

I’ve been reading up on immigrants rights. I also want to know so I can video/narrate any interactions because 🧊 is not necessarily following the law.

Know Your Rights | Immigrants' Rights | ACLU

Regardless of your immigration status, you have guaranteed rights under the Constitution. Learn more here about your rights as an immigrant, and how to express them.

And some people claim this is what they want?! More than once I’ve seen comments in my community, “this is what I voted for!” The cruelty is gross.

It’s unbelievable, unbearable, and inhumane.

Federal agents claim as many as 900 people have been detained in recent weeks in the Chicago area, but have shared few details on the arrests, making it difficult to independently verify the information and background of individuals.

The amount of anger I feel about my neighbors in the Chicagoland area being harassed, terrorized, and abducted by 🧊. 😡

I am ready to video and literally on guard for every dark SUV or out-of-state plates I see in my neighborhood or where I’m working in schools. This is terrible.

Here’s something about it: hthgse.edu/dear-math-yo...

"Dear Math, You are Dreadful"

Sarah Strong and her high school student, Gigi Butterfield, get into why kids some hate math, and what to do about it. Read more here.

I did! (I didn’t totally come up with it on my own. I know I saw something similar in a Desmos activity once. I also think there is a book or something called “Dear Math”)

My Ss this semester (preservice secondary math) graphed their math experience.

We learned:
It’s important to connect with our own experience as we think about teaching others, T we have makes an impact on how we feel about a class, we like listening to K-pop Demon Hunters soundtrack when we work 😊

Tbh, the app could be easier to navigate but it’s ok. That why I usually have to look at the online program too.

Annie Forest @annieforest.bsky.social · 14d

For speakers, I think you can log into “speaker ready room” and find out your room and room capacity. Not sure there ante really any other guidelines.
For program, I usually look at it online and then also download the app where I can click on things I’m interested in and make my schedule.

I think pic 2 looks cute (the one from the front). Sometimes you just have to say “the back isn’t my business” 🙃

I think the front tuck works easier when the shirt is a little shorter and there isn’t a slit, so it might just be this shirt that’s making it tough.

Peak of the day: ✨ my kids said I did indeed “hit that note” in Golden from KPDH. ✨🙌🏻

Pit: they followed it up with “but it didn’t really sound that good” 😐

Love a video like this for a #howmany prompt in math.

Learning about multiplication? Show this! Starts with 1 then folds over to make 2, then 4, then 8…

Or a BTC-style prompt, “how many total noodles can he make from this?”

We are aiming to have a small 6-8 person noodle dinner party tomorrow Wednesday Sept 17 at 7pm here! The restaurant’s max capacity is 100. If we cant eat together tomorrow, maybe next week! I will com...

Agree! Taking care of houseplants or outdoor gardens feels hopeful.
Plus I like that I’ve been able to share food I’ve grown with neighbors. Another thing that makes me feel connected in a difficult world.

I pulled out my cucumbers from the garden and planted some fall crops (lettuce and beets), they started sprouting! 🌱

We have normalized experiencing the preventable.
I see it in many aspects of life.
Common sense ceases to be common.
Basic human courtesy is foreign.
We don’t have to live this way. We don’t have to accept gaslighting.

I will not cease in speaking the truth…
