It’s got the fingers problem on the kids in the background. It’s AI.

A lot of people have pretty upsetting unexamined beliefs about Jewish people and society.

The reason people freak out when you notice this is that they *know* they are not a bigot, and so you are making a very offensive & wrong claim about their morality.

But you're right tho, is the thing.

A digital illustration of a bunch of three-dimensional, chunky-serifed letters going at different angles. The letters are being surrounded/clutched/supported/penetrated by a lot of fat, shiny tendrils in a number of different candy colors that are twisting around themselves and the letters and this is all riding together out of a bluish fog at the bottom of the frame. The letters are being held such that the still spell out ‘Maybe it will happen today’.

Four jars on a counter. One has an orange salsa, one has whole dill pickles, one is a kraut, and one is curried cauliflower.

Here’s an assortment of recent pickles in their final forms. The carrot-onion-pepper-cauliflower mix became a salsa. #lactofermentation

It takes zero dollars not to be like this.

4. Yes they absolutely knew why they were protesting and you are just mad that they don’t support your pedophile oligarchs. Fuck you, bootlickers, and since I’m not at work right now, fuck ICE.

¡Chinga la migra!

3. These are middle school children. We are not going to physically prevent them from leaving, and despite the fact that bootlickers think children are property, they have the same rights to freedom of assembly and speech in the constitution as adults. It does not discriminate on the basis of age.

2. We didn’t go with your kids. We stayed in the school and taught because that’s our job. The district has a neutrality policy and we followed it, because we’re professionals. I was teaching math and English while the kids were protesting, thanks.

1) there was a memo to families from the superintendent about this last night say what we would and would not do in the event this occurred. If you didn’t read it, that’s not our problem.

The kids staged a walk out yesterday. Not a ton but enough that the local bootlickers noticed. Now there’s a bunch of pissing and moaning on the community FB page and here’s all the things I did not say there.

Paired with Easy Reader (free) or any other text to speech app, you get the added benefit of the text being hi-lighted as each word is read, which reinforces the connection between text and sound. The robot voices are obviously not as good as professional narration, but the price is right. /🧵

If you are a special education teacher, your school or district can sign up for free and then you can assign books and booklists to your students which is great because class sets are expensive and sometimes it’s hard to acquire the right books for your reading group’s needs. 🧵

Here’s who can certify that you have the disability: a doctor, a therapist, or a special education teacher.

If you want this for your kid, it’s been free for a long while for US (hope this doesn’t change).

Adults in the US can get it for $80 a year and some state libraries may subsidize. 🧵

You are eligible for Bookshare if you have a print disability which includes dyslexia or other specific learning disabilities in reading, low vision, blindness, or physical disabilities that make holding a book or turning the pages difficult.

Hello friends, today we’re going to talk about Bookshare. If you have a print disability, you can get access to Bookshare. Bookshare has an enormous library of books, without waiting or delay, and is compatible with text to speech apps like Dolphin Easy Reader. 🧵

If it wasn't for that legal dept, Kia Sorento would be a killer Star Wars name.

A sticker of Captain Rex next to a charm of Clone Trooper Fives. They are both holding harts. The sticker is leaned up against a pile of jump rings.

The Fives charm again with a bunch of star charms attached.

I dislike how boring my cane is immensely so I got this Fives charm (it came with a Rex sticker) and blinged it out. Might try the washi tape again, a different way. #ClonesDeservedBetter #StarWars

Charm is from www.etsy.com/shop/GiftsOf...

I thought it was “the lovers, the dreamers, and me.”

I can tell it’s going to go hard. Honestly the first boss made me want to cry.

The first book. Sometimes I get to do SSR with the kids! I almost finished it in during that time.

I am so close to done with Dungeon Crawler Carl.

Just got word from my union that every social media post reported to my employer is “being investigated.” Do I think they even know Bluesky exists? Not really. But I might as well be cautious.

Voter suppression and the SAVE act is fucking terrifying. The idea that there might never be a peaceful way out of this hell is terrifying.

This was so cool.

Some damn line in a book that we’re all gonna pronounce “tree tree”

This is Dr. Seuss harassing Chicagoans

No, these are pretty distinct accounts. With different kinds of posts. Wild.

There are suddenly a lot of new followers and I am very confused. Hello to the people and the robots!?

These both came out really well. Salty though. I’ve got to work out a better ratio for my brine. Maybe with a PH strip.

Yay!

Ugh. I’m so sorry.
