That’s cute! And I always love any opportunity to have my students help decorate instead of it being all on me. Helps them have ownership of our space too

true winter themed decoration should get you more mileage and should feel appropriate until at least February!

Teachers, a reminder as you decorate your room for the winter…

If you immediately take your decorations down after coming back from break, they were probably more Christmas-themed than winter themed.

I’m ok! Just a PSA for anyone who’s considering it 🙃

Psssst… those Thanksgiving leftovers are no longer safe to eat. Give them a toss 🗑️

Congratulations! 🎉

I don't regret much. I DO regret the time I spent as a younger person wasting time on CLOWNS. Young people, do not waste time - it is a non-renewable resource so it's more precious than anything.

Now that this precedent has been set the next Dem president should also illegally withhold federal funding until these universities agree to undo all of these concessions and pay fines to teach them that once you capitulate once you have no ground to stand on

My absolute favorite was a keynote speaker who not only used AI-generated images in his slides, but also accidentally showed us his AI search history which included “dietary principles for visible abs”.

Oh no, we’re ok over here. But my dad is a retired firefighter, and he always said this was the busiest day of the year!

Do your local firefighters a favor and double check that you’re not storing something in your oven before you go and preheat it for Thanksgiving dinner.

I haven’t, but I’ll check it out!

Update: befriending my backyard murder if crows is going well. They visit daily and have brought me two gifts so far

There’s a reason I asked a human!

Yessss!! Thank you for putting this into words.

Happy birthday, glad you enjoyed some beautiful weather!

I need you all to stop what you’re doing and listen to my niece and nephew singing “Let’s call the whole thing off” while dressed as Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong for Halloween 🥹

Thanks for your condolences and kind words everyone. It really helps in times like these

One thing they never prepare you for when you become a teacher is the death of a student.

Not that this is something anyone can prepare for anyways.

Hug your loved ones for me tonight

I can’t get over it 🥹

All the feels!!!

They really are 🥹🥹

It’s the handkerchief that gets me 🥹🥹

*In that first post, it should be AI, not AO

Wish they would allow artists and context creators to opt out of this tool.

Screenshot from Canva’s website that reads I'm a creator contributor. How does style match or copy art style impact my work? We deeply value and respect the work of artists and creators in our community. Style Match is part of the Canva Al ecosystem, designed to help users discover and create in a creative and responsible way. When elements are used as style references, they'll be counted towards earnings from our royalty pool to ensure creators are recognized and rewarded for their contributions.

Not a huge fan as someone who has had their copy written work stolen by generative AI platforms, but at the very least, Canva seems to be compensating artists when their style is stolen by AI.

With the stars there, it looks like this is part of their AI expansion. From their website, it says you can now copy artistic styles from an image and apply them to a separate image and their AO generator will make the changes.

Last chance to turn it off.
