I'm supposed to teach these as Core American Values.

These are not the current lived experience of my students.

A list titled Core American Values.
Liberty: we are free to express ourselves and worship - or not - as we want.
Justice: We treat everyone fairly and give equal access to our community.
Diversity: We learn about, celebrate, and protect communities that are different to our own.
Equality: We are all made of the the same stuff and can succeed and achieve.
Patriotism: we take care of and participate in our community.
Bravery: we resist fear and danger to stand up for other people.
Resourcefulness we are creative and find a way through challenges.
Sincerity: we do what we say and keep our promises.
Responsibility: we follow the rules and don't hide when we don't.

Son 2 went to a stargazing event this evening and got a really cool photo of #saturn

A photo through a telescope of Saturn, rings and moons are visible.

@Holberg where I am it didn't so much get more expensive as we can't get nice cuts anymore. It's all chuck and round.

@MythingPerson I have learned never to assume anyone knows anything. I learned that by being constantly shocked at how much basic stuff people don't know.

@Holberg he said it himself 'smart people don't like me'

The shepherd's pie was fine. The apartment was not on fire - just quite smokey where it had bubbled over and burnt on the oven floor.

I've been wearing my smartwatch to pilates to record the workout but it backfired today when I could just see 2 missed calls and 4 texts popping up from my 18yo who I left cooking a shepherd's pie. I couldn't read the texts because my glasses were in my bag with my phone. The last 7 mins of the […]

Aww the felons in the WH are threatening to defund the 2nd Ave subway extension and the Hudson River tunnel? We've been waiting decades for them. We weren't really expecting them anytime soon anyway.

@briankrebs even before this AI stuff really took off tech companies were already spending more on poaching experts in their field such as teachers, accountants and physicists who know how tech is used, or what people in the field might want, than they were on comp science graduates with no […]

I have one thing to say about the #ezraklein thing and that is: if someone thinks that women's right to bodily autonomy is something that should be compromised on, for whatever reason, then they don't believe that women deserve the right to bodily autonomy, and that makes them a patriarchal jerk […]

[Unsolicited parenting advice to parents of teen girls.]

Here it is:
Teach them that if they are uncomfortable or feeling weird that it's okay to say no or not now. If the person they are with doesn't listen to that, or tries to coerce them, they don't love them.

Teach them there is no shame […]

I find myself giving solicited parenting advice to my peers about teenage girls. And it's nothing to do with my experience of parenting - I have boys - I've taught them to respect their partners the best I can - it's about imparting knowledge what would have served me better if I'd had it as a […]

Wow - I'm getting a lot of anti-Mamdani calls. One just now was telling me how he won't support the police. You're talking to the wrong person, honey.
