A wonderful writer and person who used her dying days to speak out against her cousin RFK Jr.’s plan to kill everyone with vaccine misinformation and cuts to cancer research.

May her memory be a blessing.

A Battle with My Blood When I was diagnosed with leukemia, my first thought was that this couldn’t be happening to me, to my family.

Tatiana Schlossberg has passed away at 35. Please read this beautiful essay she published last month. It's one of the best things I've read in a long time.

I love that whole album and introduced it to hundreds of elementary age children in my 30+ years of teaching. The Hi Im a baby skit is one of my favorites as is Its Alright to Cry. So many memories.

If they just aired it they could claim they're not biased. If they just left Trump's name in a couple innocuous Epstein reports they could claim there's nothing else to see. This is Saddam/Putin shit, claiming he got 100% of the vote. They're very stupid fascists!

Now seems like a swell time to point out that Frontline just released this excellent 11-minute mini-documentary about what happened inside CECOT.

Brutal but effective public health messaging from New York Public Health.

The CDC is compromised. They’re no longer a reliable source of information.

They push anti-vaxx & anti-science grift.

Get your vaccines. Wear a respirator. Clean the air

Get public health advice from experts, not RFK Jr

It’s the same old same old. Republicans do a tantrum and break the dishes. The Democrats clean it up. It’s an abusive relationship.

Absolutely wild that congressional Republicans woke up today and decided to call millions of patriotic Americans terrorists. If you want to change your profile picture today to tell people you're showing up on October 18th, we've got you covered.

Thank you Michael Fanone. For those who do not recognize the name, Michael is one of the officers who defended America on January 6th and was left permanently injured as a result. He is a true hero of our Democracy.

Beware Self-Care I know that sounds like a strange title for a blog entry, but go with me for a minute here. I worry a little bit about how many educational organizations are preaching that educators have to engage in self-care, and the reason that I worry about that is because it feels to me that there is some organizational abdication of the need to take care of our educators when that is the message.

New Post: Beware Self-Care

Why does "self-care" advice for teachers ring so hollow? Because it misses the point entirely.

What if instead of telling teachers to care for themselves, we created schools where we all care for each other?

Dystopian positivity much? Heroism is always the byproduct of systemic failure. This is a disgrace. Of course the kids have to do the right thing when the adults in the room abjectly fail.
