I shouldn't be doom-scrolling at this late hour. It’s the weekend 🥲

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

Somebody took it down. We put it back.
The companion video posted to YouTube by the US Office of the Surgeon General last summer when they published "The U.S. Surgeon General’s Advisory on Firearm Violence: A Public Health Crisis in America" - is no longer found at the original URL. But, we saved you a copy: www.pcgvr.org/archived-vid...

I thoroughly enjoyed Captain America. Maybe it’s my old age, but seeing a Black hero take the lead is always refreshing.

I'm just testing the Bluesky plugin on wordpress. I'm still trying to decide if Bluesky will be my new home.
Helping children learn to read has changed me
I wrote another piece for the Philadelphia Inquirer. It's received a lot of positive feedback so far, which is much appreciated. I don't write much these days and haven't had much of a desire, but the kind messages and emails I have received over the past few days has me thinking that maybe I should return pen to paper. We'll see.

Let’s celebrate one of our adjunct professor union members who is also a reading tutor for young people: Peak Johnson!

Peak Johnson writes that he never wanted to teach children — until he spent time tutoring the young students at Frankford's Mastery Charter Smedley Elementary.

Just heard about a Community College of Philadelphia adjunct professor who has just $12 until we get paid again. Twelve dollars.

These are the stakes. This one of the reasons we are organizing to strike if necessary.

And that union member still signed a strike pledge.

It’s going to be hard to vote for Mayor Parker again. She’ll undoubtedly win a second term in office, but she is dead wrong about this stadium.

Uncle Joe pardoned Cousin Hunter and I'm here for it! Why should we always travel the high road when MAGA mole people consistently dig tunnels underneath it?

If anyone is looking for some #books #childrensbooks #kidlit this holiday season. Might I suggest a lovely series from Aisha Toombs called Nerdi Bunny. I know the author because I AM the author 🤭😜

I love Edinburgh, and I miss it every day. The people there were so nice, caring, and accepting.
First post on Bluesky...be gentle. 😀
I'm a photographer, showcasing Edinburgh, Scotland's capital city for more than ten years now via Facebook and other social media platforms. I thought I'd pop over here and say hi and do the same thing - here's an epic sunset over Edinburgh to get us started!

Telling myself that it’s ok to take a break is so hard to do.

Children need us to accept their gift of hope, even if we aren't feeling it, and they need us to use it to fight for them.

If anyone is thinking of forming the Avenger Initiative, now might be the time. Just saying.

Sigh. One of my students was sick today. I'm hunkered in the teacher’s lounge, working on lesson plans for the next few days.
