It’s so scary! All the characters give you nightmares.

1) I’m not one for promoting illegality, but I would not be upset if hackers got a hold of these numbers and released them. 2) Could somebody sue for them to be released? 3) Are individual hospitals allowed to release their numbers for the year and even release past years for comparison?

You might also be implying that Embiid lets Sixers nation down. Again….

It’s also odd that people think “the media” is the cause when the president’s actions are in plain sight. White supremacists and misogynists didn’t create their identity because of “the media”. It already existed. The idea of echo chambers? Sure, but resorting to violence is much more complex.

Maybe he was talking to himself and thought he could use that as a past president reference.

When I was 6 or so, and I would hear “Raspberry Beret,” I thought it was raspberry parade. And, I thought it was that for way too long….

I would love to see this research on children and how much less they pedal, and short- and long-term impact.

I have my positive psychology students categorize what they write in their gratitude and positive event journals after 6 or so weeks in class. Out out 1670 entries, 44 had to do with social media, TV, or video games. They consciously reflect on what’s good and rarely is it social media or tech.

Ironic that this administration is going after universities for being anti-Semitic….

Thanks for sharing. We talk about sex positivity in my AP course as an “adjacent to the curriculum” topic. This is good research to bring up.

John Ameen @johnameen.bsky.social · 18/01/2026

I’m just confused about people saying, “The Dems better do something.” What is it that they can do to prevent such abuse, besides helping these people lawyer up? Sincere question.

What’s funny about the new guideline is that, in the pic, avocado toward the top. Conservatives have been shaming younger generations about their inability to afford housing because they eat avocado toast. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

John Ameen @johnameen.bsky.social · 08/01/2026

I think the vast majority of people need—more fruits and vegetables, less sugar, less fried food, less processed food, and little to no alcohol. If we did this, we would be healthier. I realize that food access, the presence of food deserts, etc, is an issue. This new “pyramid” is not heathy.

It’s really scary in Denver. While today is a record high, this weather is not unique.

John Ameen @johnameen.bsky.social · 06/12/2025

They did this in our Denver suburb school district. It was done without teacher input because we have “business partnerships” and the district admin pulls crap like this all the time. Hopefully our new school board will keep better tabs.

What does this even mean? Is she trying to sound intelligent by questioning the nature of linguistics of the word? Or just trying to figure out a way to say child rape is somehow acceptable?

It must have been the wrong kind of water. Or cup. Or straw. Or…. Obviously, your beverage game needs to level up 😂

John Ameen @johnameen.bsky.social · 21/10/2025

High school teacher here, and I cheer on this move. The one problem you might run into is that some kids with 504s or IEPs might have access to computers written in their plans so they can task notes. Obviously providing notes is a workaround.

John Ameen @johnameen.bsky.social · 20/07/2025

Is there any way a judge would allow this (assuming it would be challenged in court)? Supreme Court I have little faith in. But I guess that is where it would probably end up?

I don”t think he needs to apologize for anything on that list. I think he needs to apologize for things that he does and thinks that are not on that list.

My dad’s small grocery store was leveled, only the freezer and safe remained. My grandparents’ neighborhood looked like a war zone. I was 5 when it happened.

John Ameen @johnameen.bsky.social · 07/05/2025

Right. I am just recognizing that, in this case, sh*t rolls uphill and you get students that aren’t held accountable on this stuff. And our goal is to try to help get students the skills they need for that next level, and, many times, we fail in that goal.

000

John Ameen @johnameen.bsky.social · 07/05/2025

The demands on HS teachers is incredibly unrealistic now. And the only realistic way, really, to end this would be to only have students do stuff in class with no tech exposure. And some teachers do this. But we are also fighting parents and they are clueless.

130

John Ameen @johnameen.bsky.social · 07/05/2025

High school teacher here and also AP teacher. We are adjusting to doing more in-class writings and using AI to check for AI usage. The issue is that your top-tier students should have the skills, it’s the middle that is suffering from this. And, depending on the district or teacher, it will vary.

220

John Ameen @johnameen.bsky.social · 04/05/2025

My feeling is similar. My fear is that humans are built to be creative and problem solve, be engaged, and help one another be better. With AI, does it take away these elements of wellness. Yes, AI definitely has its place in so many ways. But this piece has me incredibly concerned.

John Ameen @johnameen.bsky.social · 26/04/2025

I wonder when costs will be less important to getting kids help. Anecdotally, I have seen great strides in student learning as they have addressed mental health issues, such as social anxiety, depression, and home life issues.

000

John Ameen @johnameen.bsky.social · 13/04/2025

It would appear that they are too stupid to be completely authoritarian by trying to manipulate companies to “side” with them for weeding out dissenters of the admin. It would appear that are smart enough to make $ off the crash. But too stupid to understand the effects and how to negotiate.

030

John Ameen @johnameen.bsky.social · 06/04/2025

Also, we live in a capitalist country, so if protestors are paid, that is also on par 🤷‍♂️😁

Also, GLP-1s have other benefits, they’re finding. They have helped my wife’s chronic migraines. That was the whole reason why her doctor prescribed them to her, not weight loss.

Dumb question, do you have to be a professor to sign?

John Ameen @johnameen.bsky.social · 18/03/2025

Maybe they should also be showing dying mothers in hospitals that refuse medical care for women with miscarriages and the like. I’ve been told many times by conservative parents that I should be more “balanced” when discussing certain issues in the classroom. Think they’d agree with this?

Ouchie. I don’t have kids, but working with high school kids, one has similar moments.

John Ameen @johnameen.bsky.social · 08/03/2025

It’s flabbergasts me that we have to have this conversation. Also, let’s just hypothesize that yes, ASD is increasing in numbers. So it’s vaccines and absolutely nothing else? Cognitive biases at their worst.

John Ameen @johnameen.bsky.social · 20/02/2025

Awesome! Tomorrow, I’m bringing 70 of my AP Psych students from down the road and I’m suggesting one of the symposia about LGBTIQ wellness.

010

John Ameen @johnameen.bsky.social · 18/02/2025

I teach high school history and different psychology classes. I don’t pull punches. I’ll say something is just flat out stupid. Or I’ll even use the word bullshit. No need to be polite, just accurate 😆

John Ameen @johnameen.bsky.social · 17/02/2025

I would assume that the lawyer minions for this administration knew that about the puberty blockers but didn’t care….

When I see a conspiracy theory, sometimes they are so outlandish that they are entertaining to read. This is just boring.

John Ameen @johnameen.bsky.social · 09/02/2025

So, I’ve seen some other stuff like this in recent years. My wife wonders if it’s the potency of the weed. She grew up when it wasn’t legal and it was weak. She says the new stuff messes her up.

This deserves a lmao emoji 😂😂😂😂

Violation of law? EOs aren’t laws. Sure, they’re policy, but to say it’s a violation of law is inaccurate. Am I correct on this or am I missing something?

John Ameen @johnameen.bsky.social · 26/01/2025

Yes, his hiring is based on incompetence. I’m a high school teacher and I remember seeing somewhere a discussion about, “What’s a good ethical bar to set for hiring someone?” The answer, would you feel comfortable if they worked in a school? I would vomit each day I saw him in my school.

John Ameen @johnameen.bsky.social · 26/01/2025

It’s probably the same people who still weren’t sure who they were voting for at the end of October.

John Ameen @johnameen.bsky.social · 21/01/2025

But how will you know every single detail of the apocalypse? 🤮

010

John Ameen @johnameen.bsky.social · 21/01/2025

It was intentional. He should be called on it, along with the administration. And they will deny it. And then the response should be, “Okay, so you have someone so stupid in this administration that they aren’t aware of what this gesture means.”

010

John Ameen @johnameen.bsky.social · 09/01/2025

Sure, people who have experienced a mental illness and then are cured or find ways to manage it with meds or psych tools, they can reflect, learn, and build resilience from what they went through. That’s not a spiritual awakening. In the midst of the illness, it benefits no one.

030

John Ameen @johnameen.bsky.social · 07/01/2025

So is he implying, much like HIV, that COVID can’t be transmitted through the air?
