#MindfulMonday meets #PiDay! πŸ₯§

Math isn’t just about the right answer; it’s about human connection & reclaiming our cultural roots.

As Shirude wrote, math is a site of healing & resistance.

Let’s stop teaching figures & start teaching humanity.

Fuck it.

Not every opinion deserves your energy, not every crisis is yours to solve, and not every email needs a response today.

Protect your peace like it’s scarce.
Because it is.

#MindfulMonday:

Happy Holi! 🌸
This festival isn’t just about color; it’s about the victory of good over systemic harm.

We’re reflecting on the Nahui Ollinβ€”finding balance and transformation as we dismantle Eurocentric frameworks in WA schools.

Year of the Horse = movement + endurance.

Empty Promises, Endless Committees Washington State’s Ethnic Studies Failure, Revisited for Black Lives Matter at School Week of Action by Tracy Castro-Gill, Ph.D. Black Lives Matter at School Week and Black History Month are …

BLM at School Week. Black History Month.
18 years of EOGOAC.
No accountability.

WA State keeps recommending equity instead of doing it. Ethnic studies remains delayed, diluted, and under-resourced while Black students & educators pay the price.

#MindfulMonday :

Slow down for five minutes.

No moral lesson.

No productivity hack.

Just five minutes where you let your body remember it exists.

Being gentle with yourself is a tiny act of rebellion.

Systems want you exhausted.

The headlines are bad, the policies are worse, and somehow, we’re still here.

Take a breath, find your people, and remember: community care is how we outlast fascism.

We’re surviving the timeline, not auditioning for enlightenment.
