So lemme get this straight… powerful people’s names were redacted, but the victims—and Jay-Z and Pusha T—weren’t? 🤔 Yeah. That tells me everything I need to know about who this system is designed to protect. #PowerProtectsPower #JusticeForVictims #TransparencyNow #NameThePower #politicssky

I will truly never understand the academic Olympic sport of hyper-focusing on statistically insignificant edge cases instead of… idk… dismantling white supremacy. But sure, let’s rearrange the deck chairs again. #politicssky

Me watching the South meet ice: “Y’all don’t… pre-salt? pre-plan? pre-anything?” Also me: checks education rankings Ah. That explains the “thoughts & prayers” infrastructure budget. #politicssky #politics #downsouth #southernsky #icestorm

If you’re an educator and you are unwilling to identify the white supremacist structures and help to dismantle it stay on mute. #educatorsky #teachersky

Are millennials actually going through a “career crisis,” or are we just collectively exhausted by incompetent leadership and the instability it produces? #MillennialLife #CareerCrisis #WorkplaceCulture

Finally got a teacher (a whole YEAR later) to admit that listening comprehension ≠ reading comprehension. Science been saying it. Research been saying it. I BEEN saying it. Shoutout to the parent complaint that finally triggered the “ohhh…😅” moment #Literacysky #Readingsky #EduBluesky #Teachersky

After this last election, I never want to hear anyone say adults can’t be groomed. We’ve watched an entire country shaped, primed, and conditioned for years. Pay attention to the patterns…this didn’t start yesterday. #politicssky #newssky #preventionsky #orangesky

“Your student can’t read because parents aren’t reading at home” ≠ reality. Bedtime stories = exposure. Learning to read = explicit phonics instruction. Please stop conflating the two. That’s the post. 😅 #Teachersky #Literacysky #Edusky #Literacycky

This whole “healthy snack” policy at school really irritates the causation vs. correlation part of my brain like, Karen, Timmy didn’t ace his math test because he had carrot sticks, he just happens to learn the math standard and likes crunching loudly #TeacherLife #Edusky #EduHumorsky #Parentingsky

Trump’s National Guard plan is exactly why I don’t mess with folks who swear “these kids are bad.” If the stats say all crime is down then teen crime is down too no matter how many scary montages the news runs. Spoiler: “per capita” ain’t a type of coffee. #CrimeStats #DC #MathIsMath

Been saying for years that crime is down, but apparently I was just a sweet, clueless optimist. Now Trump wants to “fix” D.C., and ABC News is like, “Wow, look at these numbers!” Oh, so now math is real? #CrimeStats #DC #FactsMatter #PoliticalConvenience

I’ll never understand the appeal of podcasters with no credentials confidently sharing half-baked theories. Just because he says it in a deep voice over lo-fi beats doesn’t mean it’s profound. It’s not wisdom—it’s Wordle for people who hate reading. #podcast #halfbaked #deepthought

Trump’s tariff policy came from a China book Jared didn’t read, written by Peter Navarro, who made up a fake expert called Ron Vara — which is just Navarro playing Scrabble with himself. The whole thing reads like Mad Libs for fascists. #Politicsky #Econosky #OopsAllGrifters #BlueskyAfterDark

He wanted to restore merit and eliminate DEI… and then added a journalist to the national security group chat like it was a potluck flyer. Meritocracy is wild when your only qualification is vibes. #GroupChatGate #SkyPolitics #NoDEIJustDIY #MeritocracyAtWork #YouHadOneJob

Growing up is realizing Miranda Hillard was right in Mrs. Doubtfire. That bum quit his job, turned their house into a zoo, stalked her, & tried to kill her bf. They had the audacity to make it a musical like Mamma Mia instead of Dateline. #MrsDoubtfire #JusticeForMiranda #BroadwayWhatAreWeDoing

I’ll never forget the time my ex tried to say the Black woman who got hired over him was just a DEI hire… even though sis had way more credentials than him. Like Rep. Jasmine Crockett said, “If you are competent you are not concerned.” #BlackWomenLead #DEI #StayMad #CompetenceSpeaks
