Time does not heal some wounds.

I miss you Lauren, today and every day.

#VTWeRemember 🧡

PLEASE: Watch what happened in Coeur d'Alene Idaho today. This is fascism. Unmarked cops. 1A violations. RESIST.

You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

Elem. teacher here: THANK YOU! Rest is healthy and natural, and kids deserve to take care of themselves too.

What she said…

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.”

Diary of Anne Frank
January 13, 1943

My grandmother’s family was murdered in the chambers of Auschwitz. She survived and told me never let it get that far. Make them shoot you in public before they murder you in hiding. Stand up for others. Never cave in fear of the Nazis or the holocaust will happen again.

Me too! I sacrificed too many hours of sleep but finished it late last night. My inbox is open if you want to chat/scream/cry 😭

From a neurodivergent standpoint: automate everything you can. Litter Robot, PetSafe auto-feeder, water fountain, Chewy autoship for food and litter. It’s life-changing.

Teacher here: it’s true. I love my kids, but without fail they go nuts around a full moon. Every. Single. Month.

At this point, I might just make a bath soap out of it 😭 but we do Clorox student desks pretty regularly, and I wipe mine down almost every day.

You tell me this as I get ready to dive back in to the germ machine that is my fourth grade classroom 😭😭

I used to read the first HP book with my students every year. Like, bought a class set of the books with my own money so the kids could read along. Those books now sit in a box in the back of cabinet in my classroom and likely will never see the light of day again.

The first ray of the sun over the horizon; people with drums and rattles celebrating at Red Rocks Park in Morrison, CO.

The first moment of sunshine on this #WinterSolstice from Red Rocks Park - Drumming Up the Sun with a few hundred wonderful people 🌄

I was at Red Rocks this morning for Drumming Up the Sun, and I took my coat and gloves off before sunrise because I didn’t need them 😳

Elementary teacher here: Audio books are 100% reading when comprehension is the goal. As Maryanne Wolf stated, reading is a human invention, not a biological capacity such as language or vision. We’re genetically wired to comprehend through hearing, but we have to learn how to read print.

I wore a tank top to the grocery store on Saturday. In Colorado.

Co-signed: an elementary teacher. We love read-alouds in my classroom!

Post by John Nichols: Harris is now winning a higher percentage of the popular vote than Trump in 2016 or 2020. Trump 2016: 46.1% Trump 2020: 46.8% Harris 2024: 48.4% Trump didn’t win a “landslide” in 2024. In fact, his victory margin is one of the smallest in US history.

This is a very important point. Please let everyone know.

For as long as I live, I will never understand how anyone could have chosen Trump over this.

Last spring I read this tweet of yours to my 4th graders (minus names) after we studied the Amache camp here in Colorado & read a novel about a girl whose friends were in Minidoka. Thank you for allowing me to share your story with them - it made history real. My kids give me hope for the future.

Family includes everyone! ❤️
