@ZingerLearns To be frank, I thought our entire sp’ed team and the LEA were worthless, but the faculty did wonders with them, and if we could get them before things escalated, they were sent to me to chill. But you know how quickly an ED child can go off. I’m going to do a quick photo edit masking the child’s face and dm you a pic. @edutooters

@DoomsdaysCW @frederick people really need to stop using the word “renewable”. This is a word coined by fossil fuel industr marketing assholes, trying to sell the public on fuels grown on fields instead of switching to shit that doesn’t burn. The word you’re looking for is “sustainable”.

Indigenous, Native American and Originarios should have free movement across the Américas. no passports, no visas.

the nation-state is the complete opposite of freedom.

the older i get, the more Anarchism makes sense to me. the state is the original colonialist, genocidal, enslaving, violence machine.

yeah... the older i get, the more radicalized i become.

Let's be clear about the threat posed by book banning groups like Moms for Liberty. The VERY first thing the Nazis did in 1933 after seizing power was burn all the books in the Institut für Sexualwissenschaft, the largest library in the world at the time of trans histories and trans academic research.

The NEXT thing they did was burn trans people.

It is disturbing that elementary children are criminalized and unsurprising that it happens to children with disabilities and children of Color at much higher rates. There should be no policing in schools and absolutely none for young children.

@ZingerLearns @edutooters Interesting! But presumably these people don't leave tech completely. It's two different things to consider - how long people stay at one company but then move in the same industry, versus how long it takes them to move industries. I feel with teaching it is always said that a ridiculously high number of trainees leave teaching altogether within the first 5 years...

One of the greatest tricks that capitalism ever pulled was convincing the world that half a chicken wing is a chicken wing.

@ZingerLearns @Hey_Beth @20002ist @w7voa maybe.

But she was worth somewhere in the low 8 figures before the deal, and compensation seems to be somewhere in the 5-10 mil range, including stock options (for the now private company that has lost most of its value).

I just can’t see it paying off better in the long term if she very publicly trashes her reputation.

Advertisers are wondering why Musk was making comments seen as antisemitic and why their ads were showing up next to white nationalist and Nazi content, according to internal messages that were viewed by The New York Times. nytimes.com/2023/11/16/technol

Statement from Media Matter CEO Angelo Carusone regarding Elon Musk’s lawsuit threat.

Frankly, I don't care if the "Big Names" of social media bypass Mastodon. What I care about are the poets, sports fans, community activists, academics, nerds, geeks, anime fans, old movie buffs, music fans, philosophers, environmentalists, photographers, bloggers, cat people, dog people, hosers, bloggers, sci-fi freaks, astronomers,biologists, and the marginalized souls that can't find a haven anywhere else. I want authentic egagement with real people.

@edutooters

Interesting about the persistent narrative around teacher turnover...how would it compare to industry? Especially some companies that are allegedly "good" to work for.
