After spending my morning in the Smithsonian National Museum of American History, the moment Daryl Davis started telling the story of bringing a KKK leader there for a visit, tonight at the first #teachersphere dinner was priceless.

I would have liked to be celebrating my acceptance to a Summer Teacher Institute focused on the history of Liberty State Park right now. I had put my heart into the application this winter.

And I was accepted. And then, today, DOGE decided to cut all the teacher programs.

Please support Mr. Spiller (a public school educator) become New Jersey’s Governor! Every little bit helps and please share!

Overkill for sub plans? Students are working on a DBQ outline.
1)Arranging for them to visit another teacher
2)Giving my sub a guide to troubleshooting
3) Detailed outline and lots of prep work
4) Creating an AI assistant in SchoolAI (@schoolai.com) with notes and advice it can give. #sschat

Working my way through the graphic novel adaptation of Octavia Butler’s Parable of the Sower. In part driven by anger; but it’s very cathartic right now.

As a Sociologist, I need to tell you

the chaos cascade (200+ exec orders) isn't dysfunction — it's disaster capitalism's playbook. your confusion = their strategy.

Marian Edgar Budde has more courage and character than 99% of US politicians from both sides of the aisle. Bravo!

Making myself stop looking at my Fund for Teacher Grant proposal for today. More proofreading and editing can happen tomorrow.

I’m cool with this

Checks out

On the left, my image. On the right, the Al image that was clearly trained on, and designed to plagiarize, my image.

All Al generated imagery is inherently theft. It's unethical, environmentally disastrous, and does irreparable harm to both artists and society.

This might be the saddest fucking thing I have ever fucking seen.
What the actual fuck @cnn.com?

Too busy…. Sword collection needs sharpening and anti-rust treatment

Too busy preparing the warhorses to address that monstrosity
