A purple and red octopus talk to each other on the tin can telephone. Purple octopus says “want to connect your students with real Scientists?” Then red octopus says “Skype a scientist matches groups with scientists for virtual q&as. It’s free!” And then an orange flapjack octopus says “get a match at skypeascientist.com”

Alrght everybody, get your Tin Can Telephones out. We need your help!

We reach new people by word of mouth. Send all your educator friends this pic! Teachers, librarians, scout troop leaders, etc! We offer our program for free, so we need help getting the word out without advertising $$.

“This is year 10 for me as an admin; 2 more than I taught in the classroom. And no matter how many times I sub, guest teach, co-teach, hang out in, or formally observe classrooms, I can’t truly know what it’s like to be a teacher these days. Listen to the teachers.” —Greg Moffitt, Principal

“Listen to the teachers.”

You don’t have to do it all. Asking for help is a strength, not a weakness. This week, choose one moment to say: “Can you help me with this?” Notice how it lightens the load and strengthens connection. 🌱

Good morning! I see some others think the same…a mimosa for me!

Jimmy Kimmel and other late-night comedians have certainly said things about me that I found offensive, even outrageous.

It never crossed my mind to call up the networks and say, "Hey, get rid of this guy."

Because that's not how America works.

You were right, the one today was one I could block. Definitely want to starve them.

Thanks for the repost! It’s so annoying!

Thanks…I did block the one that was another BlueSky account. The second one seemed to be automated by BlueSky itself? I’ll double check to be sure.

Netflix just dropped $2M to back California’s districting preservation fight. This is after they funded Sesame Street, giving free access to the full catalog. In an era where corporations rush to bend the knee to trump, Netflix is taking a stand.
