CEO pay is up 1,316% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 28%. CEOs are now paid 325 TIMES as much as the typical worker in their industry, according to @epi.org Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"? 1/3

Am I the only #ActuallyAutistic GenXer who, as a child, always felt sad for Wile E Coyote? And yes, this 55yo will actually pay $$ to see this movie in a theatre and cheer on the underdog.

An insight to help you communicate with (some) Autistic kids: They tend to be incompatible with authoritarian attitudes. They need to know *why* they should do something. Without that, they don't see the point. OTOH, if treated with respect & they agree with your reasoning, they can be ride or die.

Jeff Bezos has $222 billion. If he paid my wealth tax this year, we could fund insulin in America for everyone who needs it plus free school lunch for every kid in Texas—and have plenty of money left over. And Bezos would still have $215 billion dollars to spare.

Israel has warned families to NOT offer refuge to a targeted ethnic group that the state of Israel wants to cleanse from their lands. This is the world we now live in. #DystopianReality #wtf #Lebanon

Text from a NYT article about Israel.

"In private calls to local leaders across southern Lebanon, Israeli military officials have assured several Christian and Druse communities that they could remain in the evacuation zone. They have pressed them, however, to force out any Lebanese from neighboring Shiite Muslim communities who have sought refuge among them as Israeli bombardments flatten Shiite towns, according to local Christian, Druse and Shiite leaders who spoke to The New York Times. The Shiites make up the majority of southern Lebanon."

Door dash grocery order question. Unbeknownst to me, someone in my home used DD for the 1st time ever yesterday. DD tacked on a $12 delivery fee. I'm assuming a tip was supposed to be given. If so, how much do you tip for a DD grocery order? More importantly, can you give a tip a day later? TIA.

If you took $1 billion and gave it to the endowment of a different small college each day, they could each provide a free college education to several hundred students per year in perpetuity. Instead we are using that money to bomb schools and kill students in Iran, for no clearly stated purpose.

Of the 328 charges, 80 were felony counts for “intentional torture” of 27 birds, 16 dogs, 11 geckos, eight fish, six tortoises, three cats, two pigs and one each of the following: iguana, bearded dragon, snake, ferret, hamster and rabbit. There were so many the county shelter couldn’t accommodate them, so many were sent to foster families.

In no way am I suggesting that horrid and abusive homeschool parents do not exist. However, if the school had actually done their due diligence, the abuse would have ended before he was taken out of school. We have a broken CPS system and homeschooling was exploited by these monsters, in this case.

020

Alessandra Giampaolo Keener @alessandrak.bsky.social · 02/01/2026

Your rationale still does NOT make this a homeschool issue. The problem begins w a schools refusing to meet their legally mandated reporting requirement and ends with a broken child welfare system that does inadequate investigations and too often drops the ball - all which cause children to suffer.

120

Alessandra Giampaolo Keener @alessandrak.bsky.social · 02/01/2026

A horrifying case of child abuse BUT this has nothing to do with homeschooling. The school was aware of the child's malnutrition yet they never bothered to report the family until he was withdrawn from school. How long did this child suffer because teachers failed in the mandatory reporting?

School officials raised concerns after the child was withdrawn from Helen M. Knight Elementary School without completing required homeschooling paperwork.

The answer you're looking for is: brick and mortar school. Seriously, I think we've come to a point where state BoEs need to consider creating a new class of students, which separates out homeschooling from fully online and drop off tutorials & microschools. ##EduSky
