I've spent over a decade teaching in public schools and over TWO decades teaching in private schools and this guy is 100% on the money here. You want the public's money? You gotta take the public, too.

'bridge is out'. Are you going to do something to get the sign changed? That'd be cool. Not sure I will to put it on my bucket list or even on my to-do list. At the same time it is a concrete thing to pursue.
A portrait of an elderly Black woman, Sarah Gudger, who was reportedly 121 years old at the time the photo was taken to accompany the narrative she shared with the Federal Writers' Project. Her hair is short and white, her hands are in her lap with her fingers laced together and she is looking into the distance, to the left of the camera (her right). Her tattered shawl is safety-pinned together under her neck.
70+ years after the Civil War, the WPA Federal Writers' Project began interviewing elderly Americans who remembered being enslaved. This collection is at the Library & contains moving narratives & photos. #Juneteenth

"you have to understand,

Virginia is a beacon for reproductive freedom in the South. To remain a haven for bodily autonomy and our right to decide, we need to strengthen our #prochoice majority in the #House. Unlike my opponent, I will always FIGHT for #reproductivefreedom in #Virginia. See how: conta.cc/41IeIki
🚨 NEW: VoteVets is launching a six-figure ad blitz across TV, streaming, digital, and billboards—exposing GOP Veterans dodging constituents while Musk’s DOGE fires thousands of Veterans.
They promised to fight for Veterans—now they’re silent. Stop Elon’s war on Veterans. Demand Congress act!

On the left coast and fondly remembering a documentary that we watched in college "San Francisco: The City that Waits to Die." Good to see that it is still here for now.
I went for a walk and had a beautiful conversation with a colleague about the importance of silence. How are you taking care of yourself today?
