When we say these people are dreaming in fascism, it’s not hyperbole.

Love to the friends and families of the darling little sisters of Shajareh Tayebeh Primary School.

A gathering of women on the street. One is carrying a sign that reads “I got all my sisters with me.” (A lyric from the Sister Sledge song We are Family.)

Happy International Women’s Day everyone.

Ooops. I seem to have deleted the post :P

War is not healthy for children and other living things.

Here we go again.

I just found out that the Toronto Public Library has a The Book Sanctuary Collection of "50 adult, teen and children’s books that have been challenged, censored or removed from a public library or school in North America." Other libraries do this too.

Oh — maybe you’re thinking a safety thing. I’m not sure about that.

Yes. Do you use the app? Just book a cab on the app and anyone can take it. I do it for youngsters and guests.

Jesse Jackson, Civil Rights Leader Who Fought for Economic Justice, Dies at 84 “His unwavering belief in justice, equality, and love uplifted millions, and we ask you to honor his memory by continuing the fight for the values he lived by,” said Jackson’s family.

Rev. Jesse Jackson is gone at 84—but the Rainbow Coalition idea isn’t. From Operation Breadbasket to two presidential runs, he kept pushing.

“We must leave racial battleground and come to economic common ground and moral higher ground."

Keep working to bend the arc of history towards justice.

I think we all need this. Thank you.

I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is

Thanks for the gift link. Farewell to an inspiring, imaginative and compassionate leader who never gave up on the vision of a government for and by a coalition of African Americans and working class people founded on the principles of social justice.

The drip, drip, drip saga of the Epstein files has been the drip, drip, drip confirmation of how western societies value women historically and currently. That is why many of the women you know carry a white hot rage with them wherever they go. You won’t see it often, but it’s there.

So good. Thanks for this. I love Wikipedia both for what it is and for what it tells us about our better angels.

A fantastic read about the joys of Wikipedia.

“Wikipedia’s fundamental premise, that consensus can be reached on what is true and what is not true through the process of courteous debate and reference to expert sources, feels depressingly antithetical to the way that society seems to be going.”

Looks amazing! It’s great that you persevered and now we have a nice thing.

“Their products, after all, are steeped in surveillance, data theft, labor oppression, epistemic violence, and the monetization of every conceivable form or fraction of human life. In the face of these dystopic harms and alliances, much of higher ed's managerial class has barely blinked.” 🔥

It sounds dreamy and I’m sure the kindred spirits will find you. I facilitated a community of practice for teachers a couple of years ago. The prep for each gathering included a large measure of party anxiety. It never had a huge attendance but it always seemed that the right people were there.

“learning is the result of human grappling with the parts of the world that resist us and our capacity to understand” — yes!

Algorithmic education is not meaningfully personalized. This is a great essay about why friction is essential to a proper learner-centred approach. Plus a bit about how.

If you wonder what the right side is, it’s the one that Springsteen and Billy Bragg are on.

Ha ha. It was anonymous. But when the facilitators read out the results, they skipped that one. 😈

Our neighbour just said the cars look like igloos.

Round 5 with my neighbour. It was his fifth round too.

Snowy has completely disappeared! I can’t remember that happening before. I’ve added a picture of Snowy on a less snowy day for comparison.

At least it’s very light and fluffy. But I have to throw it quite high

It’s amazing. If I was at the condo I’d be totally blissed out but as I’m sisterless at mum’s and have to do all the snow removal solo I’m only half blissed.
