I teach toddlers, and I'd love to have some help with my list! #clearthelists

If you feel like doing a small good thing today, you could do worse than getting something off a teacher's list. Like mine! #clearthelist

If we're not at war, Pete Hegseth is a murderer. If we are at war, Pete Hegseth is still a murderer. He's a murderer. And you don't need to go to The Hague to hold him accountable because there are perfectly good, American laws AGAINST MURDER.

Pete Hegseth Should Be Charged With Murder
No matter how you look at the strikes on alleged “drug boats”—as acts of war or attacks on civilians—Hegseth has committed a crime and should be prosecuted.

Agents in Key Largo, Florida ripped this woman wearing medical scrubs out of her car as she screamed she is a US citizen. Agents cuffed her and put her in one of their cars.
She was eventually let go, per David Goodhue of the Miami Herald, who also took this footage:

As a violence prevention educator, when parents ask me "What can I do to protect my kids from sexual abuse?", my advice is teach them the correct names for their body parts.
If a child is being abused and tells a teacher "My bird hurts", they're not gonna be able to clock that they don't mean a pet

Hi. I transcribe child forensic interviews
You know who doesn’t want kids to know the correct names for body parts? The predators that put those kids in a position to need child forensic interviews.
Those kids NEVER know the right words for their body parts and it is always a hinderance.

It’s okay to name butts. It's okay to laugh about them. It is developmentally appropriate and healthy for toddlers (let alone fifth graders) to name body parts. We all have bums. What is the fear here? 5/

No-strings-attached, zero-means-testing, no-questions-asked cash payouts have been proven, over and over again, to be the most effective form of charity/aid going.
It gets people in housing, and it saves the state money. We know this. It's fact, not theory.

An Oregon pilot program giving cash to homeless youths sees a staggering reduction in homelessness. The program gave participants $1,000 cash payments each month for two years, and at the end of the project's first phase, 91% of participants reported being in stable housing.

The point being: it should be clearer to able bodied people that the price of your suspicions of whether someone who says they are disabled is disabled or not are paid overwhelmingly by actually disabled people themselves. And what you are doing is making sure that disabled students are not helped
Balancing "no person with a disability should be denied accommodations" with "it's important to discourage non-disabled people from pretending to be disabled to take advantage of these accommodations" is really difficult and I don't have a great answer for what anyone should do about it.

i was under the false assumption people were supporting or opposing things for logical if just misguided reasons, but no, they're actually just making things up that aren't real every single time they are presented with written information.

learning that potentially millions of people in the united states are functionally illiterate has shifted my views about so much discourse. no wonder everything is going to shit if people literally don't know know what words mean.

when Michael Phelps was dominating US swimming there was endless coverage of all his genetic advantages. His wingspan, the way his body processed lactic acid, on and on and on. Nobody, not one person, floated the idea of kicking him out of the sport for genetic advantages
“I just have concerns about fairness in sport” - no, you don’t. There’s nothing fair about elite sports. You’re just looking for post hoc justification because we give you the ick

Books are the perfect Christmas gift. You give a piece of yourself to someone special. The person receiving the gift thinks that you think they are smart (regardless if this is actually true or not). They're easy to get and fairly inexpensive. Plus, they're easy to wrap. Give books.
