Just watched Good Night, and Good Luck. Loved the movie and that a thoughtful, creative adaptation. Still provocative and thought provoking - maybe even more so.
Haven’t watched CNN in months until now.

Awesome set!

Apple Maps for the win!
Google only changed it for US.

Two gold number balloons that say 10 with a white background and gold confetti

Today marks 10 years to day I consider myself cancer-free (last treatment). Appreciate the distance but it never leaves you mentally, emotionally, and financially. #cancer #OncSky

This is GENIUS!!

Small acts of disobedience happening!

Anyone else giving up their Waze and Google Maps after their announcement re Gulf of America? 🙄
I keep trying to engage in as many acts of non-acceptance/disobedience as possible. While it feels like shouting into the abyss, it's better than nothing.

First time in decades that I purposefully did not watch an #inauguration. Even viewing felt like being complicit in the darkness about to descend.

Love how it looks like the heifer is on top of the houses. 🤣

Such a beautiful morning walk with lots of hills moo-ing friends. Yet just 15 minutes from my city.

Glad to see California Dept of Education @cadepted.bsky.social has joined BlueSky!

A3: upper elem annual assembly in fall with follow up lesson; all 6th do a quarter-long class; added AI lessons to most MS tech electives; parent ed nights #EduSkyChat

Not just kids. Some staff need this lesson. 🤦🏻‍♀️

#EduSkyChat

Size and knowledge of tech staff (2people), network built piecemeal as need arose, many staff with basic tech skills, lack of time for training due to bargaining agreements

Missed the last couple #EduSkyChat so happy to join!

A1: since at district level in a very small district, our system security protocols & education are lacking

Whiskey Tender by Deborah Taffa is another moving memoir from 2024.

(Missed the autocorrect that occurred 🤦🏻‍♀️)

Book cover of Know My Name, a memoir, by Chanel Miller. It is teal with gold veining, evocative of the Kintsugi (traditional Japanese pottery repair)

Mine is Know My Name by Chanel Miller. She was known as Jane Doe in the Brock Turner trial. So venerable, yet powerful.

@wck.org - Thank you to your chefs for supporting California!
One of the best organizations in the world. Happily donated again today.

'The Great Displacement' looks at communities forever altered by climate change Jack Bittle's book takes a look at several communities that have been affected by climate change, and how the lives of their residents — those who have survived — have been altered by extreme weather.

Watching #LAfires news recalls one of my best reads of least year: The Great Displacement by Jake Bittle.

Could also see excerpts used in secondary classes effectively #EduSky

Same. Spent 7 years there. Some of the most beautiful skyscapes and so many stars, but that wasn’t enough to compensate all that is wrong and the hate.

Small CA K-8 district. We have typically enrolled a few in January. None yet. Though this year we had more in Aug-Sept than past years.

For my sports lovers. State your teams to find like minded fans.

MLB: #GIANTS 🧡🖤
NBA: #Warriors
NFL: #49ers
WNBA: none
College football: none
College basketball: none
NHL: #Sharks
Soccer: #BayFC

Glad I made it to an assembly of high school artists (dance, drama, choir, band) for our middle school. Music was an important part of my life in middle and high school. Wish more students would take advantage of it.

It was a beautiful service and this is beautiful shade!

Working the MS master schedule today. Similar issues paired with declining enrollment.

Ugh, forgot. 🤦🏻‍♀️
Guess I get to log in this break, after all. But just once.

First, finally going to finish “What’s Next”. I’m a huge The West Wing fan!

I’m loving reconnecting & finding new voices all without the vitriol, trolling, etc. Best part here is your feed is what you create, not an algorithm.

Gratefully, eliminating the WEP was part of the bill. So important for second-career public employees stuck in between not having enough years for full pension, but SSI cut to almost nothing.
