I live in Idaho and on Monday morning, was illegally fired from my teaching position. They are telling everyone I quit but I did not.

It’s the worst. I may have to move to Washington state. I have family there.

Unfortunately, I live in rural Idaho.

Thank you. I’m in shock right now.

I lost my teaching position yesterday because of my solidarity with Ukraine and my non support of trump. The school district is saying I quit but that’s not what happened. I’m 64 and have been teaching since 1986. My career is over.

I just got fired from my teaching position because of politics in ruby red Idaho. No one is safe!

I can’t imagine how people haven’t awoken to how wrong they were when they voted for him.

I have never been more disappointed and ashamed of some of my family members than I am now.

I agree and I’ve only been using that one for a few months.

Instead of saying, “wow! It’s already February! Can you believe it?” News anchors will be saying, “Finally it’s February!”

Phlamingo Phlox @phlamingo.bsky.social · 29/01/2025

You’re right. I’ve been attacked numerous times by them when all I’m doing is trying to improve their children’s lives.

Phlamingo Phlox @phlamingo.bsky.social · 29/01/2025

This infuriates me. I’m already spending a lot of money to supplement my students need for sustenance. They are hungry and children cannot learn if they are hungry! Gar! I hate this administration!

I won’t give in to the lies. I won’t give in to fear. I will hold on to the truth. I will hold on to hope.

Thank you for your honesty and dedication!

I want to flee with my trans daughter, her Latina fiancée, and everyone else who is vulnerable to this horrific situation.

His behavior is putrid. All I keep thinking is, “Is this what my Christian friends wanted when they voted for tRump?” I don’t attend church anymore. I pray fervently for our country, especially my trans daughter and her Latina fiancée.

I won’t be watching, I’ll be watching something less disturbing—paranormal investigations.

2 maga students decided that they would tell classmates who just lost a friend to suicide that suicide is the coward’s way out but that it’s not really an escape because she went straight to hell when she lost hope and took her life. How can I keep teaching when I can’t speak truth to this lie?

Phlamingo Phlox @phlamingo.bsky.social · 13/01/2025

I’m glad you’re getting treatment now. And I hope your son is okay too.

It unimaginably painful. These poor children.

Phlamingo Phlox @phlamingo.bsky.social · 13/01/2025

I’m tired of the struggle but I will not quit trying to make a difference in the lives of my students.

We lost another student to suicide this weekend. That makes 5 since the beginning of August. We’re not a huge school district so proportionally 5 is huge. Just in my classes, I’ve had 4 who made attempts. I’m so tired but the students need people who love them. I need help knowing how to move on.

It’s a symbol that you’re fiercely independent just like a cowboy. A lot of us are thinking about you. I’m sorry you lost your home.

Phlamingo Phlox @phlamingo.bsky.social · 09/01/2025

@markhamillofficial.bsky.social I heard you lost your home. I’m so sorry. Don’t give up.

He’s a moron and you’re not. You’re one of my heroes.

Anyone who does that kind of Assholery needs to crawl back under the rock they slide out from under.

I was at a movie with my trans daughter and she was hesitant about going to the ladies with me (ugh, Idaho). I said “come on, hon. You’re my daughter,if anyone says anything, I’ll tell them you’re my daughter. Then they’ll have to deal with me.” She knows I’m little but fierce. We must stand firm.

It’s as stupid as it gets. All, so far.

Thank you for the beautiful end of my day. I’m going to sleep now.

I plan to visit Norway in two years.

I want to leave but feel compelled to stay and be part of the solution…if that’s even possible.

Truth. I am embarrassed and ashamed.

Phlamingo Phlox @phlamingo.bsky.social · 08/01/2025

True, but I did from the very beginning. I was twelve. I became an English teacher.

2nd sem. Began today, I realized that I have a paranoia about students with maga parents. Earlier this year, just after the election, a student complained to her parents about me. There was a brutal meeting with them and my admin. I thought the girl would be removed, but no. Is she a spy?
