While hardworking Americans are struggling to pay for food, housing, and healthcare and American service members are putting their lives on the line—this guy is over here building an arch to himself in front of Arlington National Cemetery. Disgraceful.

I would do anything to have Beans here. I ran two Boston Marathons, and I would run one every day if it could bring us closer to a cure. Now I ride the PMC each year because ending this disease has become the cause of my life. For Francesca. For every baby still fighting. profile.pmc.org/AK0302

My doctor is pretty convinced that's why I'm sick now; he thinks the thyroiditis and goiter started once I hit too many months of chronic stress. I'm trying my best to get better, and that's why I seriously appreciate the support/shares/boosts; it truly means a lot. gofund.me/7872605fc

It’s worth watching Mamdani’s full 13-minute address. THIS is the 4 of July speech the country deserves. If you teach, consider adding it to your curriculum. If you’re a parent, watch it with your kids. This is a weekend to reflect. This speech was pitch-perfect. This speech should be remembered.

Don't just talk about doing things, DO THINGS. Start local. But actually take action. It's so much better than being on the sidelines taking no risks and yelling directions at others.

You don't need AI to buy things wholesale and sell them to people at break-even retail prices without the insatiable drive to maximize profit at all costs. You just need a fucking calculator.

Billionaires are buying our elections with zero accountability, which is why we need serious campaign finance reform. When I'm in Congress, I’ll sign onto legislation to overturn Citizens United.

If they just aired it they could claim they're not biased. If they just left Trump's name in a couple innocuous Epstein reports they could claim there's nothing else to see. This is Saddam/Putin shit, claiming he got 100% of the vote. They're very stupid fascists!

Brutal but effective public health messaging from New York Public Health. The CDC is compromised. They’re no longer a reliable source of information. They push anti-vaxx & anti-science grift. Get your vaccines. Wear a respirator. Clean the air Get public health advice from experts, not RFK Jr

New Post: Beware Self-Care Why does "self-care" advice for teachers ring so hollow? Because it misses the point entirely. What if instead of telling teachers to care for themselves, we created schools where we all care for each other?
practicaltheory.org
Beware Self-Care
I know that sounds like a strange title for a blog entry, but go with me for a minute here. I worry a little bit about how many educational organizations are preaching that educators have to engage in self-care, and the reason that I worry about that is because it feels to me that there is some organizational abdication of the need to take care of our educators when that is the message.

Dystopian positivity much? Heroism is always the byproduct of systemic failure. This is a disgrace. Of course the kids have to do the right thing when the adults in the room abjectly fail.
