The irony

I'm not accessing Twitter anymore. I'll take whatever small stand I can. It's also benefiting my mental health being away from that algorithm.

I think this is much more than a "blip". A powerful statement and I fear many more moves like it may be needed in the coming months.

Word of this morning is ‘procaffeinate’: to put everything on hold until you’ve had sufficient amounts of coffee.

Do you think we can win against k-pop.... 🤔 😂

The upside: reflecting on my own practice when it comes to parent partnership.
