When filling out medical intake forms does anyone else feel like you might need to list "inability to turn off my give-a-fuck" as a medical condition?

As we memorialize those killed, may our celebrations not lead us to forget the many more casualties that simply k¡ll combatants more slowly than their breathren fallen on the field of battle.
And may we take a moment to remember why we have lost so much and say "F**k War Forever"

Meanwhile the visible casualties of bodies ruined receive token attention with few reparations or accomodations.
And the ubiquitous invisible injuries arising from violence in extremis are excluded, stigmatized and ignored in the face of nationalistic pride and flag-waving celebrations.

Thinking of my father on Memorial Day

Violence takes many forms.
But state violence is unique in the manner it is memorialized.
The lives of persons conscripted into conflict thus cut short, are celebrated as sacrifices for "G-d and Country." 🧵/1

The text should actually read "Stay awhile and Listen."

For all the folks who know what it means to 'Leeroy Jenkins' things up. The original video is 20 years old now. Just take a moment to recognize that you are among those esteemed wise old nerds to whom the aspiring young should know to "stay and listen". 😜

For Mothers' Day I present
A parent's prayer:

May I one day truly be as unnecessary to your existence as you believe I am now.

I was once a Scottish waiter in a Chinese restaurant in Dayton, OH

BTW! You'd be doing me a huge favor to share any questions or ideas about parenting, Education, and neurodiversity (especially if it's all three at once!)
I LOVE posting responses and answering questions in the comments!

It would seem your work has a lot of overlap between my experience as a teacher and my dissertation work. I Would LOVE! To chat and share some time.

Agreed! 💯 So many "interventions" arguably shouldn't be "interventions" when it's honestly easier to provide options and opportunities to meet individual needs without special dispensation.

We just ask 'Months of progress by what measure and is the focus on creating agency or compliance?
As an Ed researcher, I think research should inform practices.
But we can't lose sight of the WHY and consider if a 'research based' teaching method aligns with humanizing philosophies of learning

What's the best platform to purchase it here in the US and is there an audiobook in the works?

Wonderful!

Four pie charts showing statistics on teacher experiences with diverse books in their classroom, they’re overwhelmingly positive

The Power of a Diverse Classroom Library from First Book’s 2023 study!

Diverse books aren’t just important—they’re transformational. Let's keep them on our shelves!

Would love to hear all about it!

I'm interested to know what they think about the carbon capture-based I.C.E. vehicle petrol fuel replacement systems in development.

I'm honestly surprised the national parks service hasn't been forced to remove this listing.
God Forbid white kids, learn about black history and see themselves not among those enacting violence and instead identify with revolutionists like Viola Fauver Gregg Liuzz

I can also see it being the prompt of a mass pissing on the "grave" at every trump property they can find.

When people describe questioning the basic human rights of any group "politics" as if it's a stance to be legitimately argued the racists already have the upper hand and Inaction is ALWAYS complicity.

Oooof! Yeah. This is so real for international students I know.
A dissertation is a horrific process without adding state sponsored horror.

Living within late state Capitalism suuucks.

Right?! He's so great as a performer and by most accounts a wonderful collaborator. So the choice to take the gig makes so little sense.

John Lithgow Confirms Casting As Dumbledore In HBO's Harry Potter: "This Is Going To Define The Last Chapter Of My Life" [Exclusive] Lithgow marks the first official cast member.

John? Working with/for people harming the trans community is really NOT the way to "define the last chapter of [your] life". Trans folks deserve my support more than you need me in your audience. 😢

🚨🚨🚨BREAKING NEWS: Was just passed this from a fellow service academy grad. A Coast Guard Academy graduate posted this. They are reporting that ICE entered base housing and took a USCG spouse. I can’t confirm this but I’m calling for answers from the Coast Guard and Congress. This is unacceptable.
