The way that we came to understand love was that he laid down his life for us; we too must lay down our lives for our brothers. I ask you, how can God’s love survive in a man who has enough of this world’s goods yet closes his heart to his brother when he sees him in need?

Remember: Republicans control the House, the Senate, and the White House. If they refuse to put forward an offer that includes any Democratic input and they don’t get Democratic votes—that’s on Republicans. Americans rightly understand REPUBLICANS have pushed toward a shutdown.

One reason Bluesky (still) works for news is that there’s no obvious, pervasive culture of misinformation. If someone you trust reshares something on, say, Syria, the odds that it’s a chud trying to troll people remains relatively low.

If we go to the trouble to create an accommodation for one student who has an IEP, why not just offer it to everyone? It's not harder to give the support to everyone. When baked into our lesson as #UDL, supports can have far-reaching benefits. #LeadInclusion #EduSky #InclusiveEd

"One doesn't discover new lands without consenting to lose sight of the shore for a very long time." - Andre Gide Learning is sometimes uncomfortable -- and it can be scary! In what ways have you pushed yourself to explore new ideas or practices this year? #EduSky

In the foreground, a lone figure stands on a rugged shoreline, surrounded by wind-blown grasses and scattered driftwood. A lantern nearby casts a faint, warm glow. The sky above transitions from stormy darkness to a break of celestial light, dotted with faint stars, evoking a sense of wonder and longing.

Started a new book tonight -- been on my reading list for a while and part of my effort to add some non-fiction to my reading. Gave me an unexpected chuckle about Thomas Jefferson in the early pages so I'm intrigued about the rest of the book.

Apollo 11 launched OTD in 1969, carrying Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins, and Buzz Aldrin to the Moon. It was one of the most remarkable scientific collaborations in history, taking humans from Earth to the surface of another world, then returning them safely home. Images: NASA 🧪
Photo of Apollo 11 beginning its launch, taken from the top of the launchpad scaffolding and looking down at the rocket. Bright flame and smoke is visible at the base. The cone-shaped capsule sits at the top of the rocket. Above the capsule is a long, thin rocket -- the Launch Escape System. A body of water is visible in the background. The whole image is distorted, like it was taken with a fisheye lens.Earthrise, as seen from the Apollo 11 Command Module orbiting the moon. The lander is visible at the bottom of the image, bringing Aldrin and Armstrong back to the Command Module for the return to Earth. About one third of the Earth is visible over the horizon of the moon. Neil Armstrong's photo of Buzz Aldrin on the surface of the moon. Aldrin is wearing his baggy, white spacesuit. The suit's helmet is large and round, with a copper colored visor. The visor is high reflective and both Armstrong and the Lander can be seen in it. Several bootprints are visible in the lunar dust.One of the bootprints left on the moon by Armstrong or Aldrin. The shape and tread of the boot is clearly visible. The lunar dust is a dull gray, and the boot made a deep enough impression that part of the imprint is in shadow.
