I have a list which comes in handy especially over the summer. Today I'm going to endgame which I really don't feel like seeing but because of a list it doesn't cost me anything but bus fare and having to get off the couch. I'm meeting @keithb10.bsky.social there.

Drew a cover for BATMAN & ROBIN: YEAR ONE - DYNAMIC DUOS issue 5. It was fun! ❤️🦇🐦‍⬛
Mike Maihack drawn variant cover for BATMAN & ROBIN: YEAR ONE - DYNAMIC DUOS issue 5 (by Chris Samnee and Mark Waid). The Boy Wonder is having the time of his life posing for all of us! Batman is a bit more serious about the situation. Maybe we just let them go about their day of saving lives and solving crimes.

This is my comment.
Phil Kim was not involved in returning Algebra I to 8th grade.

It was removed February 2014. As an aside ,Matt Haney voted to remove it and later middle school and early high school honors classes.

This is someone growsf supports.

I became involved in 2013 when we learned the district was going to delay it against community wishes. This affected my daughter ( Class of 2020).

I filed public data requests for years. I finally received data which exposed the lies of success SFUSD was telling for years in June 2021. I sent it to the state asking for an audit. The state ignored me but removed the lies from the first draft of the California Math Framework.

Meanwhile? SFUSD voted to return Algebra I to 8th in February 2024. Before Prop G results. Before Phil Kim was appointed to the Board of Education.

The vote Phil Kim was involved in had to do with Algebra I pilots and which pathway to choose.

I clearly need to write a book.

It is stolen valor to claim the work some many of us did for years.

Thoughts for the day: Why does the "bad seed" logo for Batman look like it says "bird seed" to me? So much work was put into the new Legion of Super-Heroes that I think this has become my current favorite series after only one issue. It's just... *right.*

I urge anyone over 60 who spent Saturday morning battling with the antenna (and siblings on who should hold it) so they could watch bugs bunny to check out #coyotevsacme. It's so good. The tweety scenes were worth the price alone.

Going to Coyote vs Acme this weekend with husband and @keithb10.bsky.social dad loved roadrunner and coyote cartoons. He'd watch with us. He died a while back. He would have loved this premise. My son made an observation that my dad was a civil engineer so all the calamity must have been fun.

The #CodeSwitching concept+tactic usually only refers to Black people who master linguistic+presentation changes to be “acceptable” to White people across sectors, aka, as Survival #culturalcompetency skills. No one ever examines White people who inherently, authentically can do Same. #DollyParton

Going to see Odyssey again with my daughter in couple weeks. Haven't posted about it because bad faith criticism at other site. But? I didn't really like it. I felt the movie was trying to distance itself from magic and gods. ( The way superhero movies are sometimes embarrassed by the source).

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

James Forten heard the 1st public reading of the Declaration of Independence in 1776; he participated in the American Revolution & fought for its ideals long after the war. A skilled entrepreneur & ardent abolitionist, his wife & daughters founded the 1st interracial antislavery society for women.

Today marks 250 years since a small group of newspaper editors, farmers, and soldiers signed a document declaring our nation's independence — a truth that feels self-evident now but was revolutionary then.
What a privilege us Americans have, to live in a nation that every one of its inhabitants can shape. What an honor us New Yorkers have, to look out over our city's waters from the shores where so many Americans bravely entered their country for the first time.
Today and all days, let us remember that patriotism is not pretending our nation is without flaws. Patriotism is every act of righteous dissent — because loving our country means fighting for the best version of it.
Happy Fourth of July, New York City.

Right, the thing about this speech is that he says BOTH that the Fourth of July is a sham, the day that reveals hypocrisy and injustice, AND that the principles of the Declaration are saving principles You can't understand either side of the speech without the other, imo
