One of the single greatest headlines I've ever read. Thank you for that, Paris 🤣

Is our universe trapped inside a black hole? This James Webb Space Telescope discovery might blow your mind "I think that the simplest explanation of the rotating universe is the universe was born in a rotating black hole."

I'm not super familiar with Schwarzchild cosmology, so this feels like it's going to be a fascinating neuro-spicy rabbit hole for me 🤯

If Hamas had killed 7 Israelis inside of Israel this week, it would be one of the biggest stories in the world, & all over the US media.

But Israel killed 7 HUNDRED Palestinians this week, including almost 200 children, & yet there's little outrage from our politicians or media.

That first episode had me so fucked up. I had no idea what was happening.

@brennanleemulligan.bsky.social I'm a noob to the TTRPG scene. As a special education teacher and nerd, I want to try and use TTRPGs to help develop my middle school student's social and executive functioning skills and was wondering if you had any good recommendations. Big fan of your work 🫡

What if I told you, you can have good Universal Healthcare, Social Housing, good Benefits and Pensions, and all you have to sacrifice is having billionaires that aren't as rich.

Much better than endless hate to make billionaires, trillionaires.

Isn't it?

UN Expert Says US Boat Strikes Are “Crime Against Humanity,” With 61 Killed Amnesty International USA said the strikes are nothing more than a “murder spree.”…

Amnesty International USA condemned the strikes as a “murder spree.” “The administration has not even named its victims, nor provided evidence of their alleged crimes. But even if they did, intentionally killing people accused of committing crimes who pose no imminent threat to life is murder.”

Horseshoe theory bullshit

I mean, shit... MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE called it a genocide before Bernie did. Not a great look.

Lib's gonna lib

Nice! I'm super stoked to read it!

Yes 🙌
Decolonize your curriculum!

By teaching our students more about the world we live in AS IT TRULY IS–not through the rose tinted lenses that so much of our curriculum is taught–our students will be better prepared to CHANGE it.

Otherwise, as the kids say, we're cooked.

the guardrails we were gaslit into believing existed.

It can look like incorporating the necessarily violent history of American labor, seeing that all the gains workers have achieved over time were FOUGHT for. Blood was shed and lives were lost.

It could be examining publicly available police data and identifying any trends that identify racial discrimination. It could be looking at our constitution and the abuses perpetrated by our government on our own citizens and coming up with constitutional amendments to solidify

fill in the gaps with problem based learning based in critical pedagogy using real world issues in your local community.

That can take shape in a number of different ways, like looking at climate change data, identifying vulnerabilities in our communities and drafting proposals to our local gov'ts.

This next part will be difficult for those teachers in "right to work" states because your material conditions won't allow for it, but for those of us in teachers unions, we need to get more subversive NOW. If you are forced to use a "big box" curriculum in your subject area from a major publisher,

When examining the societal relations to the means of production through the Base/Superstructure model, teachers have a unique opportunity (in these times, I would say we have a DUTY) to influence the trajectory of our society towards a human-centered society instead of a profit-driven society.

From a class perspective, the ruling class typically dictates the "acceptable" knowledge within curricula that we impart upon our students through the overused and incredibly boring banking system of education (see Paulo Freire's "Pedagogy of the Oppressed").

or we can make the difficult (but necessary) changes required of us so that our children and grandchildren won't have to live in an uninhabitable world.

Some recent musings about the state of #education... (A thread 🧵) #edusky

As we dive head long into the end phase of neoliberalism, we are at a crucial point in our societal and economic (d)evolution where we can either continue down our current path towards techno-feudalism and fossil fascism,

Tweet from Carol Rosenberg @carolrosenberg The flags were lowered last night by order of President Trump after the killing of Charlie Kirk and will stay at half-staff on this base in southeast Cuba until sunset on Sunday.

There it is folks, the most American photo ever taken. Truly captures the spirit of this nation. A flag flying at half mask in honor of a racist in front of a McDonald’s outside of a torture facility.

That looks wildly unimpressive.

People with disabilities are bracing for the impacts of Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ The GOP is working to rebrand the disastrous law ahead of the midterms, but the impact of $1 trillion in Medicaid cuts on people with disabilities is clear

I will teach my son to be a feminist, an abolitionist, an anti-racist, a lover, a fighter (when required), an ally, an advocate, and a good person.

I will teach my son to be the antithesis of Charlie Kirk.
