This food recall in America has exposed that whether you’re buying food at Kroger or Whole Foods, they use the same suppliers but the pricing varies widely for the exact same food Whole Foods and Trader Joe are scamming y’all

I finally experienced the brain melting of AI in person today: A girl in Starbucks who definitely wasn’t older than the kids I teach (8th) said to her friends “I asked ChatGPT if I should order an açaí refresher.” Moments later: Her friend sitting next to her didn’t know what a graphic novel was.

Dozens of gas-burning power plants are being built across the country, solely to power data centers. These plants could emit as much planet-warming pollution as half of all passenger vehicles in the entire country in a single YEAR. We need a data center moratorium — now.

I actually think the trillionaire saying his AI tool will remake a movie without the Black and trans actors in it should be a bigger story because it’s a perfect example of why the ruling class wants AI to succeed: so they can remake reality without those they deem undesirable - every nazi’s dream.

Today is National School Librarian Day. THANK YOU, school librarians & school library workers. We celebrate you. For so many library kids, the school library is the only place they have access to books. It is where they learn to believe that stories are for them. Thank you for your library joy 💛📚🥹🤟🏽

I'm not sure about you, but I think the collapse of US hegemony, a global price spike and recession, and a new ground war in the Middle East are far worse than drag queens reading books at the library.

The US reportedly waited to strike the bridge in Iran a second time until rescue workers and others in the area gathered to help the wounded, which then killed at least eight people. Authorities in Iran are describing it as an act of terrorism.

This is negligent homicide. We demand justice for Shah Alam and his family. He was nearly blind, and they left him five miles from his home, forced to try to walk home alone in the dark and the freezing cold.

Screenshot of an X post by journalist Sam Stein stating that DHS claimed it left a man at a coffee shop described as a “warm, safe location,” but video later showed it was the middle of the night, cold, and the coffee shop was closed.

Screenshot of an X post from the official Homeland Security account titled “Here are the FACTS.” The statement says Buffalo Police alerted Border Patrol about a non-citizen, that Mr. Shah Alam entered the U.S. as a refugee in December 2024, was not amenable to removal, and accepted a courtesy ride to a coffee shop described as a warm, safe location. It adds that he showed no signs of distress or disability requiring assistance.

It’s #NEDAweek. I just celebrated three years in recovery from an eating disorder that stole so much of my time and energy for almost two decades. Happy and proud to be an example for teachers, students, and people who need it ❤️

A poster that reads EATING DISORDERS AWARENESS WEEK on a blue and pink background with pictures of book covers including Starfish by Lisa Fipps, A Work In progress by Jarrett Lerner, Good Enough by Jen Petro Roy, Taking Up Space by Alyson Gerber, All of me by Chris Baron, and Louder than hunger by John Schu.

Black text on a pink and blue banner that says “This week, take the time to educate yourself about eating disorders, their signs, their triggers, and how you can support people experiencing an eating disorder.
But don't just stop there--expand your learning about anti-fat bias, diet culture, and the harm that happens when we value certain bodies more than others.”

Yes it’s Valentine’s Day. But it’s also the chosen birthday of Frederick Douglass who was born in 1818 on a plantation in Talbot County, Maryland. He escaped from slavery & rose to become the most eloquent and forceful voice for the abolition of slavery & for Black voting rights in the U.S.
