I’d include anyone still on Facebook but yeah 😉

Sob. I gave him a hug goodbye.

That’s too cold even by my Canadian sensibilities!

Just went out for my final hot chocolate of the hot chocolate festival I was expecting it to be big but imagine my surprise when @moebiusstripper.bsky.social’s hot chocolate came out and it was the same size as mine - bigger actually.

Awesome. I’ve been meaning to give you a piece of my mind for a while and finally I have the forum.

I think at this point my husband and I have been married longer than the combined lengths of our parents’ marriages (but who’s counting?!)

😬 this was my face as I typed that

every day is valentines day when you’ve been married nearly 28 years

As soon as math teachers get on board with my method of using only 6s and 7s in every example, then that annoying trend will be stamped out quickly too.

Nat Banting with a slide that reads "Good mathematics teaching involves inviting students to make mathematical decisions." The audience appears into it.

Thank you @natbanting.bsky.social for an engaging Professional Development Keynote and session today! I've been teaching a long time, but I need sessions like this to remind me why I enjoy teaching and what student-centred math education should look like. Way to invigorate our practice!

This is giving me all kinds of thoughts! Nice!

Yep. It doesn’t take much.

I’ve had many students over the years, and a tiny number were in severe mental distress at some point. In general, the girls and boys tend to harm themselves at these times. But boys also harm others, whereas the girls do not. This is what I need to learn more about.

The fact the shooter identified as transgender is an unnecessary distraction and weaponising this fact is a cruel tactic designed to marginalise other transgender people. 99% of school shootings are committed by males irrespective of identity and we need to think more about this instead.

I was sobbing with her.

@natbanting.bsky.social looking forward to your keynote at my school tomorrow!

This is sad. I loved this place and have eaten there too many times to count over the last 9 years. The owners were awesome and several of my students worked there over the years.

I think the “raging” descriptor makes you sound very cool.

I think if it is good for boys then it is good for girls too.

Compassion
Optimism

Stay safe Stephen!

The students were somber and very well behaved today.

It’s easy when you have a good kid 😉. Thank you. ❤️

Blessings to my son who is caring for his housemate from Tumbler Ridge by cooking for her. ❤️

Therapist: I need you to write letters to the people who have wronged you and then throw them into the fire.

Me: Ok, but what do I do with the letters?

Over on threads someone just use ai;dr and we all need to adopt that right quick

Up until that point I had no idea there were rumours - nor did I even care.

Turned off the radio after they took a call from a teacher who was sitting in her car at school crying. Times like this I wonder if the media makes things worse.
