Make your calls. Go to your town halls. Ask your state and local officials what they are doing under state and local law. Rest. Hydrate. Make soup for the hungry. Don’t let people tell you that you’re doing it wrong. Not a sprint. Not a marathon. A relay. Find your team. Thank you.

Teachers are supposed to be mentors but in this climate, they have to earn your trust. Not the other way around. For teachers, our students are our immediate community. It is our actual job to teach them how to protect themselves through knowledge. When you betray that trust, no one can learn.

This is something students aren’t privy to, and you may not know the nuances of so don’t take the risk if you’re unsure. Maintain whisper networks because everyone who grins in your face is not your friend and you need to know what people you can trust versus which ones you can’t going forward

Marginalized Students: do not trust your teachers with your status or your gender unless you are absolutely positive that you can trust them to help or protect you or that they are vetted by other marginalized students. Teachers may mean well but their executive bosses may not be.

This is not hard nor is this anywhere near a moral quandary. People often ask themselves what they’d do if faced with the coming of nazis and its pretty simple: dont do what the nazis want.

If you have students who are trans no you don’t. If you have students of color who may be affected by ICE no you don’t. If anyone asks you gender or racial the makeup of your class you don’t have to tell them.

Protect your class and protect your students by not complying in advance. They trust you.
1. Breaking News: Donald Trump has signed an executive order targeting trans youth and teachers in schools who teach for them.

It goes after "social transition" and threatens arrests.

Some of what Trump is attempting to do is unlawful, but some of his shadier maneuvers will likely be supported by the courts. SCOTUS is on his side. I don't say this to discourage people, but as a reminder that the law cannot be our bottom line. Our obligation is to each other, not the law.

PSA: Even though there are sometimes temporary reprieves in local AQI readings, as long as nearby fires continue to burn, there is a continuous health risk to breathing in dangerous particles and toxins in the air. Don’t roll the dice, keep wearing your mask!

1. Did you know that Girl Scouts has, for a long time, accepted trans girls and nonbinary scouts?

Trans kids are under attack. Every year, I make a thread of trans and nonbinary girl scouts you can get your cookies from.

Lets get our cookies from them this year in solidarity!

What is this brainworms nonsense

No alt text on everything is so people with limited vision or blindness can access your art

Wouldnt the world be a better place if we could all be included in enjoying art & we met accessibility needs w/o thinking its a psyop or astroturfing?

Yall I've noticed a huge drop in alt-text usage for images popping up on my feed. Please use alt text to:

- include vision impaired people

- include people with bad connections

- get better engagement since more people can access your posts and many folks don't reskeet images lacking alt text

so much of the pronoun bullshit is just people being angry at being asked to treat others with a basic level of respect

you don't have to understand gender dysphoria or being nonbinary or neopronouns to just... respect people's wishes about how they want to be addressed

The CDC are adjusting COVID isolation guidance not because there's been a change in the science, but because of pressure from CEOs and politicians. This is malpractice and will only increase misinformation and mistrust.

It's pathetic the CDC is justifying weakening their guidance because "no one is following them."

How many times have we heard "but the CDC guidance says it's fine" used as an excuse?

Weak guidance doesn't lead to better public health. It endorses anti-public health behavior.

There are many people who can't afford to take days off work even when they are ill. The CDC should be recommending that employers give workers paid sick leave, not making it easier for bosses to exploit workers by saying it's fine to work when you are sick.
