the algorithm said, “these are distinct social worlds,” and y’all said, “but we hang out sometimes.” no, you share content, not community.

Y’all mad Janelle Monáe went back to the 70s to see Bowie perform like she hijacked a DeLorean 😭 but when the orange man wilds out every week y’all be like “let’s not rush to judgment.” Be serious.

I’ve learned: my job is to bring my full skill set and wisdom to the table. It’s not my job to make others ready to receive it.

me: says exactly what i mean
neurotypical: reads between the lines
me: why is this suddenly a choose-your-own-adventure book

“Your student can’t read because parents aren’t reading at home” ≠ reality.
Bedtime stories = exposure.
Learning to read = explicit phonics instruction.
Please stop conflating the two. That’s the post. 😅

This whole “healthy snack” policy at school really irritates the causation vs. correlation part of my brain like, Karen, Timmy didn’t ace his math test because he had carrot sticks, he just happens to learn the math standard and likes crunching loudly

Trump’s National Guard plan is exactly why I don’t mess with folks who swear “these kids are bad.” If the stats say all crime is down then teen crime is down too no matter how many scary montages the news runs. Spoiler: “per capita” ain’t a type of coffee. #CrimeStats #DC #MathIsMath

Been saying for years that crime is down, but apparently I was just a sweet, clueless optimist. Now Trump wants to “fix” D.C., and ABC News is like, “Wow, look at these numbers!” Oh, so now math is real? #CrimeStats #DC #FactsMatter #PoliticalConvenience

Leave it to the creators of @SouthPark for calling out the podcast pandemic we been living in- we are sick of all these Cartmans running around. #podcast #southparkseason27 #SouthPark

Not me tearing up because I won’t be able to listen to Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me on Saturday mornings due to the evil orange man #npr #waitwaitdonttellme #ihateithere

can’t believe they made a whole musical about a man who stalks his ex-wife by impersonating an elderly Scottish nanny and everyone said “aww.”

Funny how a woman brings up potential harm from a man and the redpill guy calls her dramatic …then a war with Iran pops off and suddenly he’s a geopolitical scholar with anxiety praising the cheeto man for his machismo #War #WW3 #redpill #divest #politicssky

Imagine hating Kamala so bad you voted for Trump, binge-watched red pill podcasts, and now there’s a whole war. Congrats on being the most patriotic doomer alive. #War #polticssky #WW3 #facepalm

Bars, Blame, and Branding: Teaching in the age of EduClout When the lesson plan includes a diss track

So I was busy doomscrolling and BAM somehow the algorithm figured out that I am educator taking me down the rabbit-hole of teacher "content". Check out my substack to learn more. substack.com/@anomalysoul... #substack #edusky #teachersky #doomscrolling

Is it weird that my whole life I’ve dreamed of going to Lester’s Possum Park? #agoofymovie

Hilarious that my first message back on this app is about DJ Akademiks giving “can I get a hug?” vibes. Meanwhile I’m buried in a chapter proposal, apathy, and Muppet reruns.

DJ Akademiks gives “can I get a hug?” energy like a middle schooler who just found out you like someone else during 7th period lunch and send you creepy AIM messages while you’re away.

And while we’re at it, half these podcasters have a history of fraud or abuse, spout off weird stuff like “manifestation is science,” and y’all don’t even Google them? If their “credentials” are from Youtube University, maybe skip the next episode. #podcastsky #scammer #morningthoughts

I’ll never understand the appeal of podcasters with no credentials confidently sharing half-baked theories. Just because he says it in a deep voice over lo-fi beats doesn’t mean it’s profound. It’s not wisdom—it’s Wordle for people who hate reading. #podcast #halfbaked #deepthought

This government keeps making “mistakes”
like “accidentally” giving billions to their friends
and “accidentally” forgetting poor people exist
can’t wait for them to “accidentally” resign

Trump’s tariff policy came from a China book Jared didn’t read, written by Peter Navarro, who made up a fake expert called Ron Vara — which is just Navarro playing Scrabble with himself. The whole thing reads like Mad Libs for fascists. #Politicsky #Econosky #OopsAllGrifters #BlueskyAfterDark

You read my mind-

Bwhahahaha my unpublished masters thesis was multiculturalism and why white teachers won’t support it in ELA 🤣

Tried to write about Black joy as resistance in my dissertation. Chair said “not enough research.” Fast forward — chair sees journal call + remembers my idea. Guess there’s research now. Joy + pain, full circle. Read it.

Y’all worried about Black men not going to college, but white men are getting degrees and still voting for Trump. What y’all learning in there “Intro to Fragile Masculinity” or “Fail Upward Capstone”?

I’m proud of Wisconsin for showing up but what a privilege it is to almost lose democracy just to realize what’s at stake. We been voting like the house is on fire because, well, it is. Shoutout to the 92% of Black women who always knew. #WeBeenKnew #ProudButTired #92PercentStrong #WisconsinCameThru

He wanted to restore merit and eliminate DEI… and then added a journalist to the national security group chat like it was a potluck flyer. Meritocracy is wild when your only qualification is vibes.

#GroupChatGate #SkyPolitics #NoDEIJustDIY #MeritocracyAtWork #YouHadOneJob

And yet they’ll bring a salad fork to the buffet, whisper about norms, and ask if now is really the right time. This party stays performing concern while the GOP burns the house down and installs a gift shop in the rubble.
